fSYNCLIPSE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mindtrip]

Pretty nice!

Might I interest you in a free software called LMMS (it's my goto DAW)? I'm not sure if it's on MacOS, but it's on Linux and Windows. If you only have an iPad I don't really know any good software other than garageband for iOS

brookee responds:

I'll be sure to try it! I have a PC and I've been wanting to make music on it, but I didn't know where to start. Thanks for the advice!

[Rythm]

I keep expecting a drop that isn't there...

Good track though made with solid loops!

[conclusion]

Nice track! I do have to say the sections 0:42~0:52 and 1:27~ are quite weird when you pay attention to it, but my friend wasn't able to pick up on it so I guess it's not too bad.

Keep it up!

[KW – Adzumi]

Though it was pretty obvious you were using loops, I can't exactly fault you on that since the song did sound pretty good. I do think it needs some attention to detail(like making sure there's no gap between the loops) and finalisations such as fadeouts.

Otherwise a solid track, good work!

KomedianWolf responds:

Thank you very much for your criticism :3
Next time, consider these points

[Trance Dance]

The repeating slow arpeggio gets boring after a while, the drum pattern gets repetitive, and the main chorus is a messy bit that adds nothing to the song.

Perhaps change some of the arpeggios to 5 notes rather than 3... for example:
in the fourth bar instead of
C-D-E-C-D-E-C-D
do
C-D-E-F-G-C-D-E
This will give the track a bit more flavour.

Also change the drum pattern to something slightly different to keep it fresh otherwise the resulting music will sound quite repetitive with all the repetitions you're doing with the three notes.

And finally keep the track clean, don't overstuff it with random sounds that don't work together. These bad sections are 0:44~1:20 and 1:53~2:28

Though if you had fun making the track that's okay too. I hope to hear more from you!

Blade-Music responds:

Thanks for the review! I'm still trying to get better at making music, and the constructive criticism is very appreciated. :^)

[Lo-Fi in one day]

Without any assistance the piano sounds out of tune in a bad way. The song is too repetitive with nothing much interesting to distract me from the fact you're playing the same piano pattern over and over again.

I feel there's something that can come out of this, and in general the song isn't too bad.
Keep going though, I'd love to hear you improve!

Groovy! Love it m8, keep it comin'!

[Some Boss Battle Music]

The sounds are a bit harsh in my opinion but still a decent track, well done!

Keep up the good work!
