NoStereo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Trapped Space]

I feel like the intro buildup drags a bit but once 1:07 hits it really gets good. I think you nailed the space theme, definitely has a sick darkness to it. The sections where it fully builds and everything coalesces is beautiful. I'll agree with @5TanLey that the snare gets a bit absorbed in those sections though.

[Motivation]

Oh wow, love this. Was loving the piano intro and did not expect what came next. Really reminds me of legend of heroes music which are some of my favorite songs. There is definitely a different quality to this though and the way it tells a complicated story. I love the combination of traditional sounds with the "raw" sounds from 3x Osc.

I could definitely see this in an anime or game as the main theme music. Top notch music!

"Thank you. I was trying to make the acoustic instruments sound as realistic as I can since I've mastered all the tools used in this piece (listed in the credits). Gotta check the Legend of Heroes' OSTs, though." — The Manager

[Pre-Final 8-bit boss]

Reminds me a lot about the chiptune music I used to make. Half of the song is just the same notes over and over :( If the rest of the song was as lively as it becomes near the minute mark it would be better! I especially like the part at 1:33!

My other suggestion, is to make your percussion with some white noise, it adds a LOT to the chiptune feel.

JustDen responds:

It's a good idea!

[Lazy]

the build up is dope. I feel like if you did some full pitch shifting in this song especially before the breakdown it would be siiiick. love it.

CunVietnam responds:

Thanks for the feedback, I'll keep that advice in mind, and thanks so much for liking it >w<

[Wanderer]

I like it, it almost sounds like a cross between music from terraria and the sims. I feel like this would be a solid choice for some background music. You nailed it!

iElectrocat responds:

Thank you so much :)

[NOmki - Dream World]

I think the melody needs some work to take it to the next level. Song structure so far is solid and everything is there to make a great song. It gets a little repetitive near the end, a bridge section or something to add to the overall progression and break up what you have would be nice. A little more length would also be nice.

NOmki responds:

Ty for the feedback, and yeah i made this in like 3h and didnt put much effort, but i might work on it a bit more before i put it on youtube

Build up takes too long, remember the first 5 seconds need to hook people in. Everything just sounds repeated. Even if it is drum and bass there needs to be some melodic progression.

[CDJeremy - Aelio Base]

melody and rhythm is solid but there is waaay too much compression. Master it better and you've got a dope song. Some more length would be nice too.

CDJeremy responds:

Thx :D
