XayberOptix's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Breath...]

Trippy!

This makes me feel like I am spinning really fast around in my chair in a dark room with 10 strobe lights flashing all at different intervals!!

KillTheTrucker responds:

Haha, nice, thanks! ;D

[(Dj-Admin)Robotics]

I feel like the kick...

... sound should be something more "solid and a short thump" instead of the long release; but then maybe that was on purpose because I also noticed that you didn't have a 'bass' instrument present. The lack of chords makes it a little plain but then maybe that's what you were after too?! My encouragement is for you to keep at it.

Djadmin responds:

Thanks for the review, and the suggestions about the kick and bass... they sounded horrible that way, that's how they were originally.

[Loop Dungeon Music]

Still has much room for improvement

At some parts, I feel like the notes are clashing into (or brushing up against) each other creating a tonal harmonic imbalance. Try positioning the notes so that they complement each other as in the same chord scale instead of causing them to destroy or overrun one another. If you do that, it will make them sound "together" instead of "all scattered."

DeanCutty responds:

Thanks for telling me your thoughts. When I wrote this track, I thought some clashing notes would make the atmosphere better. I agree that the melodies could be a little tighter instead of "All Scattered".

Thank you!

[Fragile (BooBlock)]

Great for a fight scene!

This sounds like something that I could imagine hearing in an arcade game like a head to head fighting game of some sort. It could use some more varieties of sounds perhaps some atmoshperic sounds? Well, good piece either way! Keep up the great work!

BooBlock responds:

Thanksies. :)

[You Are A Genital Wart]

Cool stuff man!

I love your guitar playing talents! IT ROCKS!!! Keep it up! We'll definitely have to collaborate some time! Hit me up if you're up for it.

Casualty responds:

yeah, what you make is pretty cool, you put a lot of thought in there. the problem with me is that this song took half an hour to make, because i just improvise riffs and when i have three or four, the song is done, haha.

thanks for the review!

[Heather.]

Emotional

I can tell that you put a lot of feeling into playing this piece. Very well done my friend!

MarkySpark responds:

Thanks for listening.

[Solus- Lenore]

Suspenseful!

This tune is with endless suspense! You have me clinging on to the edge of my chair! What a beautiful piece! I know that the poem by Edgar Allen Poe is obviously not yours but I must ask, is this an original soundtrack? It really adds a great deal of depth to the poem without a doubt! It's insanely mystical!! I'm jealous! :P

SolusLunes responds:

Indeed the track is 100% a Solus original.

The poem of course is not, and you knew that. :D

I thought of the poem after listening to this song for a while, grasping for a name.

[Solus- Blue Crystal Moon]

Refreshing!

This is truly refreshing! It invites me into another world! You've done a really great job at expressing your true honor for this game. Keep it up!

SolusLunes responds:

I'm glad you liked it! :D

["Gearing Up"]

Heroic!

Nice job on this buddy! Very well done! It could use audio mastering though. Send me the original wav and I'll demonstrate to you what I mean. ;)

BrokenDeck responds:

Thanx! :D

[Cobra]

Hot track!

Very nicely done! I love EWQL too! :) Very professional result! 5/5 10/10!

Oh yea, check out some of my material if you get a chance. I have recently done some pieces with EWQL. Let me know what you think. Keep up the great job on your music! I'm greatly inspired!

Step responds:

Really glad you like this song! It's actually the first song I ever made with East/West. It's actually really amazing how just high-quality sounds will improve your work - when I was using soundfonts, my songs were horrible, but once I got East/West, my general song quality made a massive leap. Really glad I bought EWQLSO, I haven't stopped using it!

Also, I've heard your most recent track - it's absolutely superb, congrats on that. I might leave a review when I get the time, although I'm on a very busy schedule, I'm afraid...

Thanks a lot for the review anyway!
