MaestroSorrow's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[soft ghost synth. [complete]]

Awesome stuff

I think this songs strongest point was its percussional work. It was so strange, yet so god damn fine.

The massive scratches worked out wonderfully!

Mixing such harsh percussional stuff to such mellow sounds. Heh, its a very strange and interesting sound. I think it works pretty good.

I was going to give you a 4, and leave it at that, but what you did towards the end, definatly bumped it to a 5, that part was definatly well built.

5/5 from me Neighborhood_Plastic, keep em coming.

neighborhood-plastic responds:

cheers! glad you liked it

[_-*Caroline*-_]

Great stuff.

heh, very sweet indeed!

My only quarral with this song, is the intense delay you have going on. I would definatly lower the delay count, and perhaps add a reverb for a neat effect.

However the melody, simply blew me away! I am a classical composer myself, so I put A LOT of importance on meleody and overal feel of the song, and I feel you have by FAR, exceeded my melody standards.

Like MrDrunk, I listened to it several times, and did not tire of it.

I am very impressed Serianous, keepthem coming.

5/5 from me.

Serianous responds:

Yes, your right, way too much delay, i was gonna play it live but was too busy to do a recording. Thx for your time and i will definetly submit some more.

[The Viewtiful Flow Remix]

Good stuff

It definatly has a very interesting rythem, and it makes good use of synths. Has a nice foundation that can be used for a huge amount of things.

I really like the panned percussional snares, gave it a neat effect.

Getting better -Raiden-

Undergoingurge responds:

why, thank you

[999Ping]

Your best huh?

you shouldn't name your best song 999ping, but something more... more epic ^^.

It definatly has a elevated level then most of your songs, and it does take strange twists and turns which are enjoyable to experience.

I quite like it.

For that reverse crash, I would have definatly reverbed it, and delayed it. Would have made it sound cooler.

And I really think you should look over that percussional stuff, that snare was kinda lame.

again though, good stuff.

4/5 from me caffeinerush!

caffeinerush responds:

Finally I get some reviews! Thanks, and I completely agree, the snare sucks. It was a preset. Thanks for the good scores!

[Retention]

Neat

Heh, I can hear the star wars melody, and the modifications you did to it.

I think, you should have had low background strings going on at all times. There were a lot of silent moments, which kinda made the song boring to listen to.

It did however get more and more interesting as it progressed.

I didn't quite like the direction this song was taking, but I still found it enjoyable.

4/5 from me caffeinerush, but I see there are 0 voters lurking on your page, so i'm giving it a 5.

caffeinerush responds:

Thanks for the review. TBH this isn't my favorite. I would like to add a lot to it, I just don't have hardly any instruments, which sucks.

[Melded :: Preview Fixed]

Impressive.

I can see some serious serious potential to this song! I love the direction its taking, the feel it provides, and the simple melody is very effective.

Good instrumental choices too.

I don't know if you used them, but if you havn't, have you considered using reverb, delay effects? I think it would give it a more spacey, more ambiance kinda feel.

Still awesome stuff.

5/5 from me caffeinerush, keep them coming!

caffeinerush responds:

Thanks, means a lot coming from you! I think I will add effects a bit later on.

[Computer Ecstacy]

Sweet Stuff man!

stop giving your computer drugs, its not good for it! However if its going to keep making stuff like this, perhaps you should slip some vodka in there, and see what happens ^^.

I'm a bit tired, so i'm sorry, i'm not going to write an uber long review.

I really liked the song.

5/5 from me Diabolo-ical.

Diabolo-ical responds:

Cool, thanks.

Hmm.... Computer Vodka... that's gonna be my next track I reckon.

[R__'*'Sorr0w'*']

Awesomeness

How could I not review a song that had a section of my Alias name in it XD!

I really like how the strings and those increasingly louder percussional segment progressed. It flowed so well, and then that high synth comes in, and it REALLY adds a punch to the song.

I didn't get much "sorrow" from this song, but it was still extremely enjoyable. It reminds me greatly of my own song "Ballet of Darkness" I had made a while ago, do check it out sometime, I am sure you will agree.

I loved the intro, and the song progressed nicely.

5/5 from me Rawrthaas, keep them coming.

Rawrthaas responds:

Heh, "I didn't get much "sorrow" from this song,". My song names don't seem to have much relevance to the song, huh.

Anyways, thanks for your time maestro!

[Desimorp]

good stuff.

I don't know, I quite liked it.

It did sound random, but in a delightful way.

Very strange experience indeed...

4/5 from me ^^.

Thanx (^_^)

[Kirizzle - WTFizzle Ghosts!?]

*JUDGE REVIEW - MAESTRO SORROW*

Kirizzle's WTFizzle Ghosts!?

Faction 2
Originality : 18
Diversity : 18
Clarity : 20
Effort : 18
Melody : 18

Overall : 92 + 1

Originality:
This song had an awesome quality to it, I wasn't really able to place my finger on. It felt new, yet classic, its a difficult feeling to explain.

Diversity:
There was a lot of interesting synths going on here, and I appreciated the style of which you used them, which only gave more diversity to the piece.

Clarity:
There was no clarity issues here, no distortion no crackling or nothing, so top marks there.

Effort:
I understand that you were rushed, but for 6 hours of work, this was really nice, and I only wish you had more time. I would have loved to hear your power if you had been given the amount of time you wanted.

Melody:
The melody at the beginning, was kind of strange. It didn't remind me or make me think of ghosts in any way, yet it was exciting to hear overall.

Overall Impression on me:
My favorite part of this song was at 0:56, where the vox began to kick in. I ADORED that part, it was so serene, so forgiving, yet full of malice. And then that strange flopping synth near the end of that segment, gave it an intense twist.

The very beginning, when you have that really rough saw synth, that was pretty neat, THAT part made me think of haunted demonic layer kind of thing, it then breaks down into some kind of chase.

I didn't quite like the choice of percussional instruments. Those drums and kicks were not that great in my opinion, but I understand why you chose them.

I think you may have already reverbed the drums and kicks, but if you didn't that is definatly something to consider.

I gave you that plus 1, because of that vocal segment, that part really spoke to me.

Great stuff Kirizzle, Thank you for joining the contest and giving us this piece!

NGAudioArtists responds:

Thanks for the great scores Sorrow. I can see why I got top marks for clairty though, the song was poorly mastered, I didn't have time to maximize it so it's quite quiet compared to the other tracks on this account. No audio out clipping or anything, the peaks don't even reach -3.0 DB off the threshold =/ so distortion and crackling weren't options.

It's hard to produce anything half decent in 6 hours, but this is the best I could come up with, I'll make sure to put more work into this song, sex it up and upload it on my account later for ya =) but I'm currently working on another DnB and I'll be sure to go to this one right after I finish my current one.

Oh and about the ghosts thing, I didn't put "Ghosts" in the song title because of my melody, I got the "WTFizzle" from that =P but I got the "Ghosts" part because of the freakish flopping synth that you were talking about and the segment which the drums faded out and the vox/wind came in, those were the ghosts!

Thank for the sexy review man!

Ah, now to everyone else: This is a contest account, meaning that none of the other songs on this account were done by me, DjKirizzle. If you want to hear more of my or anyone else's stuff then go to the audio portal home page and use the search function, to search up whatever audio artist produced the track... which most of then put their names somewhere in the title or in the description of the song.
