Krayon's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[War's Little Secret]

Good.

This was a well made piece, especially with that flute. A lot of feeling put into it, but I imagined something more like after the battle when the hero thinks on what has been lost and gained and what hasn't changed rather than knights sitting by a fire. Some bass brass would do very well to add little to the background. Probably make it grander too. Have you ever heard a large group of brass send out their thundering, ground-shaking music into the air. It's majestic.

kelwynshade responds:

Agreed. This is a piece I made about 5 years ago and have always wanted to redo it using the knowledge I have now to make it something truly grand.

[Unfinished 3]

Alright.

You asked... I'm not a piano player but I have been playing and listening with music for enough years to have a good ear for how something should go. You finished this piece with an opening for a really good solo sort of section where you drop the pitch and make a really dark powerful rolling set of keystrokes. Keep that going and build it, build it, build it into a really powerful crescendo of feeling from the heart then suddenly drop it down to something slower and closer to start, vary the dynamics a bit more and then finish on a hanging not. It'll leave the listeners feeling the mood of the song afterwards if done properly. Now give us what ya got.

[[djjakee] help me...]

Errrr...

Well.... if your hoping for sympathy you won't get it. i won't penalize you for putting this song in the classical forum, I don't think it should be here but still one can't always be too sure where to put a song. It's alright but a bit monotonous, you need to add in fresh changes to a piece, not have the same loop going all the time. And if you do have a loop going change it, move it around, add other things in etc. Oh yes, The song needs a better finish, something less abrupt or else it sounds only half finished. On the up side, it has a nice, bright tune and actually made me feel a little bit happier so well done. It's good but could do with a it of improvement.

jkrox4eva responds:

thanks for the review, but its a loop, so no ending here.

[Caricias De Angeles]

Nice.

Grrrrr this is unfair, I've had more than enough times where the author of a song has berated me for poor quality reviewing and I'm looking for someone's song to tear apart and I keep coming up with Very Good, Nice, I like it. Darn you guys, the classical sections improving and changing too much! Darn you for your brilliant piano playing, did I here Milkman Dan at around 5:00, no matter, a musician should play from the heart and you've done that superbly. Well Done. Two thumbs up.

Jabicho responds:

That's awesome, thanks for the amazing review.
Lol, I think your reviews are great so don't worry about me =P

[Your Prelude (True)]

Ahem

I hate you and your music skills, I was gonna knock you down a few points just out of random spite towards the guy at the near top and instead you have me hitting the 5... again! Well done Bosa, once again.

Bosa responds:

Ouch! I'm glad that you're honest, so I admire that.

[Marching to War]

Great!

What programs did you use. How long did it take. And great great job. A little clearer would have been great but everything else is almost perfect. Well done.

[Fog-worn Path]

Good...

The piano was good, and I can see you tried hard to make it sound realistic etc but at some parts the song 'fumbled' a bit so it didn't flow well enough. Quite good but I think a bit of strings in the baackground to add a creepy feeling with low, heavy drums rumbling would be good as extras.

Valtrix responds:

Yep, definitely understand where you're coming from. These songs I've been working on with piano just to help hone my melody-building skills, because I don't want to get too stuck with more technical aspects right now.

[_-={The Deads Witness}=-_]

Wow!

Wow! Well done! I loved those drums! Finally someone who knows how to use them properly, I was starting to think that Edgen was going to be the last epic drummer. But now I find a song that does the job. I loved the flute thingo at around 1:15, you should have carried it a bit longer. I just have one or two complaints, the strings needed to be a touch longer and stronger sounding I think, as if someone was pulling them from their heart, if you know what I mean. Great song nevertheless.

MaestroRage responds:

I don't use the drums like this as much as I should anymore to be honest. Edgen was indeed an epic drummer, his very existence leaked of epic.

There are quite a few things I would do with the song now should I have had the chance to modify it. Sadly i've wiped out the old VST's that I used to create the song so even should I have opened it now, I doubt i'd be able to do anything with it. The strings at the time were somewhat lacking in variety and I did with what I had.

I agree with you however, whole heartadly.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

[.: Beyond the Magic]

Good job.

Now that I'm in the mood to write reviews I thought I'd write one. Jolly good job ol' chap. I really liked it. The timing was perfect and although a bit more 'pull' on those strings would really have pulled my heart its good all the same. Pity it was so short...

SilentTakedown responds:

With the "pull" you mean shorter attack, eh?
I don't know, but I just don't want to change the attack.
I'm mostly composing music for RPGs and the songs wouldn't hear someone, who is entering the titelscreen and switching quick to the char select screen.
This one is for a MMORPG.

Thanks for your review, lets see, if I can change the attack. :D
