Lpauley's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Illustrious]

hi. :D
interesting use of atypical intervals in a stylistically typical setting. sounds very fantasy/space-esque.
oh also you're awesome.

[Changing Expression]

i love you.

i do.
keep on keepin' on man. you've come a LONG way.

Lublub194 responds:

Well thank you man, I wish you were around more often.

[To my friend, a message.]

hey bro

got a 10 from me.
hard to do.
i'd love to talk sometime :)

check my new videoooooo. i've been playing, just nothing worthy of uploading.

Lublub194 responds:

Sir, I should check, but if you don't have one, you should definitely get a facebook.

Thanks for the 10 cap'n I always appreciate them from you.

[LB - Constant Destruction]

caleb

could definitely be expanded on, though.

Lublub194 responds:

Thanks man!

[Nocturne 1 in A Minor]

yipyip

loving some newgrounds piano :D
the abrupt pauses (i.e- 1:21,) seem out of place.
the parts at 1:20-1:30 just sounds odd altogether
overall sound is very tin-ny which deters the song
the velocity change at ~4:45 is a bit much, it becomes wayyyy too quiet
abrupt ending is very different from the general style of the piece

overall, nice composition. glad to see some other piano

Naroghin responds:

There are quite a few things that get lost in this piece when it is performed by a computer. The lack interpretation of dynamics, for instance, ruins vital elements of this piece, such as the parts in the beginning that sound odd (due in part by the fact that the fact that the dynamics can't be interpreted in such a way that the melody comes through without losing the bass part), and the part at 4:45 that seems too abruptly quiet. Among the other things that are missing is a live piano, giving a warmer and darker tone. I tweaked the brightness down quite a bit, but I had to stop before the attack got too muddy. As for the ending, it signifies the cloudless sunrise, which would be (and is) a very abrupt ending to a long and lulling night.

Thanks for the review, I appreciate your comments. It's always good to get opinions of those who play the instruments for which I write.

[Struggle of Survival]

hmm

the piano at the beginning didn't seem to work for me,
overall, liked the rhythm, liked what you did with it.
random sounds like the squeeks and the pops, didnt fit for me
loved what happened at 2:49, and there after.

i have a friend in the same situation,
best of luck to you and your friend.

PizzaBox responds:

Random sounds and squeeks? It's called industrial, boy =]

[Your dissolving face]

really

i loved this
and i dont know why

it was a bit generic
but still good

["Fighting of the Spirit" 8-Bit]

sounds

sounds like some lsdj
:D

[LB + Song of Storms Remix]

woo

hi dudeeeeeeee
you seem to be getting quite a bit better, i really like how you blended the instruments, and love the strings.
the storm could be toned down a bit, and the piano could be smoother, and have a better transition from the storm

overall great stuff man
keep at it :D

Lublub194 responds:

Thanks man :D

I sent you a private message. I expect you to do it...

Anyways, yeah I could probably smooth it out a little... but meh. I'm lazy. Haha...

Thanks for the review man! I appreciate it! :D

[Breakd0wn]

this is realllly

simplistic.
you have a lead, and i wish you used it, but you just hardly added it in.
i like the rhythm you have, but it's left so empty.

do you still play stepmania?

Mans0n responds:

nah gave it up like 2 years ago
