Stereocrisis's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cyr3al - Logic Gates]

Sounds like if Take My Breath Away by Berlin was a video game.

Eptheus responds:

The one with Tom Cruise in? Anyways please tell me what I need to improve, instead of leaving a very low rating.

[Metal Skull]

I like how dark and spacey it is. Almost sounds like a horror movie in a factory with loud machinery. Ellen Ripley felt this dread. That's what I take from this song. It's alien sound is menacing. 4/5 Stars 5/5 vote

mrtmoney responds:

Thank you so much, I wouldn't have even given it that but awesome dude

[Gohan's Theme]

I like the work you did with the keys.
The fancy sounds and everything are nice, but you've got basic melody skills. It's the song you've written behind the music software.
I often bring my guitar, or my keyboard over to my computer to work on my Fruity Loops music. I learned the instruments first. I'm growing into this process. It is a gradual thing that I enjoy.
What is your method?

Twistedsanta responds:

Thanks for the response.

I wouldn't call this a "showcase" of the most impressive melodies that I can come up with. If you'd like that, you can check out the other audio submissions that I've uploaded.

A "theme", to me at least, is usually a lot more repetitive and doesn't have a lot of crazy things going on because it doesn't want to take from the focus of what it's accenting as a theme. This is just my method. Could you not say the same thing with instruments and that it's the song we've written, but just behind the instrument? Just something to think about.

I also always have my keyboard and guitar, along with bass and other things near my computer when I work. I've been playing for over 12 years now so the learning process has slowed down, but I'm always open to trying new things to teach myself.

Thanks so much for the review <3

[Underwater Theme]

If Jaws was Darth Vadar, this music would be appropriate.

thekmanproductions responds:

Thank you, I think? lol lol :D

[Electric Vibe V2]

I like it for what it is. It does sound very 80's.

3.5 stars here. 5/5 vote though.

EddLioni responds:

Thanks man!

[Score song]

Very good. Keep it up!

flashmakeit responds:

Thank you I will try harder just for you.

[Krikkit]

Sounds good, but the levels could use some adjusting. Also, I wished it would have gotten to a different part eventually. The basic melody was good, it just needs a total breakdown at some point with different notes, instead of the same ones with effects on them. I'm guilty of this too some times, so no big deal. Keep it. Work with it. Do some tinkering until it's perfect. Could be shorter, too.

DevinChin responds:

Thanks for the review! Did I maybe compress it too much? It's a bit of a sausage right now. And yeah, I would like to have a bigger breakdown in the bridge section but I've no idea how I'd make the transitions work, especially while keeping it short. Regarding the melody, I do have three ish different melodies throughout the track so it doesn't just stay the same, although I see how they sound similar since the chords are consistent.

[Aftermath (Dramatic Orchestral Royalty Free)]

Noticed you hadn't been scouted yet. I scouted you. 5/5
This sounds like an epic soundtrack for a movie or dramatic TV show.
I'll just say that I don't think that girl's voice should keep saying that line over and over in this composition. Other than that, it sounds pretty good. When listening, I'm seeing the battle torn fields of a long and terrible war, as survivors mourn fallen heroes.

Marterro responds:

Thanks a lot! That girl's voice is a watermark used only for preview :)

[Afterglow (ft Roy)]

I found this track in the audio forum review thread.
Great work. This sounds like it could be used for a video game.
Please continue being creative. Awesome results man!

Hey, if anyone wouldn't mind, check me out too! Shameless plug. lol I have new stuff in the audio portal!

Geoplex responds:

Thanks! I have no time currently but when I get a chance I'll make a point of checking out your music :)
