MMZero01's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Peaceful Sky]

Other than the slightly odd sounding violin, this sounds really good!

I can't really say much else, though...

Stadler responds:

I've been working with a VERY limited orchestra VST setup here, haha. So I would have to agree with you about the violin. I think it's time to invest in a wider range of sounds!

I'm just glad I updated the horrendous piano sound that I originally uploaded this with. It was BAD.

Thanks again!

[The Quest]

This song is very, very well composed!

The song sounds great in itself! The flaws I found would be that it sounds very mechanical... The timing is too perfect, try a few milliseconds variation. Also, the velocities are all the same... Which really sounds mechanical...

(Also, can I have a midi for this? I wanna try making sheet for piano and ocarina...)

Stadler responds:

I completely agree with the mechanical sound you speak of. I was wondering if that would throw people off or not, so thanks for letting me know! I know this style of music depends GREATLY on dynamics and how well it flows, which definitely needs work here, no doubt. In fact, the dynamics are practically nonexistent here, haha. The good thing is that I can continue editing the song and hopefully achieve a more "real" sound. Actually, some ideas are being sparked as I type this, so that's a good sign!

And I can definitely set you up with some midi tracks; I'll try to get those to you very soon!

Thanks for taking interest in my music, I really appreciate the support!

[The Keeper]

I think this song has greatness in it.
As a suggestion, try mastering and sequencing things to be a bit more like "Rainbow Night Sky Highway" (Forgot who it's by, easy to find on YouTube)

What I mean is that it would sound good with a wider sound, with more isolated instruments... A very light mix, so that even drums that are not full strength have strong impact.

(Or another easier way to say it is perhaps 'more floaty dream like', not as heavy...)

Once again, that's just a suggestion. I think it's great as it is too!

SynchroSpectre responds:

Ah, that's what I wanted to do but I suck so I couldn't :c

I'm don't really know the principles of mastering for liquid dnb. I can't figure out how most producers get that isolated sound. I think it's cuz I don't have the proper tools or plugins. Can't really figure out using what I have and tutorials don't help x.x

And thanks man, I'm glad you like :D

[[04] Some Chocolate Dust]

This song is really chilling.... When that bass started, felt a bit of a shiver....

It's a really nice change of pace from the rest of ENSC, methinks... Excellent audio, and I can't flaw the mastering. Clear as a [insert whatever here] to me!

SynchroSpectre responds:

Ooo .-. there's people that actually follow ENSC... Haha, well thanks mate, if the bass made you shiver, then I did my job well ^.^

Thanks for the review!!

[Defending Your Honor]

This sounds really great! It gets the atmosphere just right!

The brass sounds kinda flat, like the velocity is too low... It's also very loud compared to everything else... I guess it's just me, though; Nobody else seems to care about it, and I don't really like brass...

Stadler responds:

I think you're right, definitely needs more power to the brass. Maybe it's how I ended up mixing it. I'll get it figured out for next time!

Thanks for the productive words and support!

[Tides of War]

My 2 cents:
Add some sub-bass to give it that cinematic feeling you get when you play it through the sub-woofer...

But it is really epic! Can't wait!

Stadler responds:

Agreed! Honestly I've not heard this through a sub. I'm messing my recording setup at the moment but I'll be sure to get that added in before any more final releases! Glad you pointed that out. Thanks for the support!!!

[Peaceful Memories]

Wow! This is so awesome! Quality work... I wish I could do things like this...

Stadler responds:

Thank you!

[Flaw]

This song is beautiful! I love it!!!

(I also just noticed that you uploaded this on my birthday!)

Alloud responds:

Happy (belated) Birthday!

[Fairy's Fountain Loop]

Perhaps you don't own the song, but you sure did 0wnd the song!
I always loved this song when playing Zelda, but this remix is even better!

VGSongbird responds:

Thank you. I don't know about better, but I'm glad you liked it.

[Mega Mayhem]

I love the song... But the NES can't handle multiple instruments at once, or handle swooping sounds (it can... but not like that). I tried with my own modified ROM. It almost died from overheating.

JBKings responds:

I've tracked part of this using Famitracker a bit ago, and it works for the most part. You can have two pulse waves and a triangle wave all playing at once, and can have pitch bend going up or down. Unless that's not what you're referring to?
