fSYNCLIPSE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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. :^)

[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!

FurplePin responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I rlly appreciate it :)

[Lotto ~ Intro]

Nice jingle! The ending's chord progression sounds quite weird but other than that an enjoyable experience!

pikachu000000000 responds:

haha, thanks! the main issue with the chords at the end i think, isn't so much the progression but the fact that the brass doesn't completely follow it, and instead rises chromatically for a bit. luckily this dissonance ended up kinda fitting the original intro though!

[Titanical - Technobopper WIP]

Man I can never muster up enough bravery to post a WIP for some reason. Sounds great!

Very repetitive but I don't know what to expect out of a WIP so... er...

Great track keep up the good work!

Titanical responds:

Thanks!

[BERSERKER]

Nice track! Though the guitar is a little too in my face (but that's my preference) I liked the rhythm and the sounds. It did get repetitive as the track went on and I think one of the parts in the middle should've been a main chorus. But that's my opinion. Keep up the good work!

JB368-LORD responds:

Thank you, your comments help me know where I should improve

[Soup's Off!]

Great song!

I don't know whether the whole point was to use one drum pattern, but I would've liked if you changed the pattern at appropriate moments to make the song sound less "long".

The only problem I noticed is minor:
The synth that gets introduced in 01:45 doesn't fit that well in the section 01:45~01:51. Try reusing the up and down pattern that's used right after the section.

Keep up the good work!

Rost-Kilroy responds:

Hey, thanks for the constructive criticism!

Regarding of the drum pattern, yeah, I should’ve changed a bit on specific moments, but I’m at loss at making my own drum patterns, let alone edit a current loop from the packs (I’ve only used DL_Classic Break (Packs -> Legacy -> Loops)). The drum parts on FL Studio’s plugins is very new to me since I have so many ways to do it, from setting up separately or all in one in a single track.

As for the synth at 01:45-01:51, my attempt was to put a different melody that goes along with the main one in order that it wasn’t so monotonous. Come to think of it, the ups and downs would’ve been perfect.
Thank you again, for having a time to point all of this things, it helps a lot to improve.
