[LB - Constant Destruction]

caleb

you're getting very very good

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.

[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

[.*.*The Town of Lavender *.*.]

...........

when i had to take the effort to turn my volume up to hear this, i didn't expect a lot

i was wrong
if they put this in the actual game, i'd probably still be playing.
love the ending.
love the guitar.

VGSongbird responds:

Yeah; I'm still using the Garage Band on my Mac while I wait for my new comp to get here. Hence the quiet piano MIDI.

But thanks! I'm glad you continued to listen. And I'm honored that you would compare the quality of my remix to the actual song.

[Wyze - Warning shots]

hey bro,

remember me?
you've been getting a lot better.
you're flow is so much better, following rhythms and everything.
lyrics had some odd parts
i.e- "ended by an uzi"
and some others

but overall, congrats on the top 30, and good luck with the rest of your stuff!

Blasphem-E responds:

Lol thanks man. And yes, I remember you. Someone actually being somewhat constructive and real about his reviews. Thanks for the review here.

[<PS> Song of Winds]

mmm

excuse me for not knowing terminology,
but i really enjoyed this.

only complaints:
it's so quiet, i had to nearly double my volume to hear this decently.
i realize the 'muffled' sound was intended, but it gets a bit annoying after so long, i really thought that it was going to clear up later in the song.

i really liked it though.

PenguinSam responds:

Hmmm...so I need less peddle! that can be done!!!!

And I am sorry about the volume, I can't seem to fix that with, almost all of my songs. ^_^"

So, i will work more with the peddle to help clear that up, it needs to be fixed! And I am glad that you enjoyed it!
