NoStereo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Groove On]

Sounds good, I really like the drums and everything fits together really well. It sounds a little too much like a loop to be a song. Try not to loop what you have already made that much and make some more parts, also adding some more elements will also improve the song as well I think.

NGKFlower responds:

yeah, i was experimenting. i've been using FL and trying to fully get the hang of it.
thanks, though. i'll keep in mind.

[Brawl At the Docks 2]

Awesome, sounds really good. I think the bass is a little too loud however, especially at the beginning. However, I love the composition, good variation of the instruments (that is something I need to work on >.<) I really like it! Keep it up!

NGKFlower responds:

thanks. ^^

[Sewer Snake CG]

Nice, but the song gets really messy in the middle. Try using a filter on the instruments to help separate the sound.

NGKFlower responds:

i'll keep that in mind, thanks.

[A Slice of Heaven]

At :59 when everything comes together it becomes absolutely beautiful! spectacular.

The introduction needs some work however. But I love the melody and when all the elements have been tied in it is very nice.

The pitch shift was nice but in my opinion needed a bridge to help keep the song flowing.

Altogether, sounds very nice. Nice choice of synth on the Lead. It really fits, but for the solo I don't feel it does the song justice. Consider reworking the intro and possibly lengthening the song with a few more parts. Still, I loved the song! :D

NGKFlower responds:

thanks. i figured it might need a little extra work on some parts, but i'll definitely take on the advice.
:)

[Sanctuary CG]

When that one synth pops in at :41 the track gets really dope. pretty awesome and chill xD

NGKFlower responds:

oh thanks. ^_^

[Final Boss 3]

The BPM shift was pretty awesome! The song definately had a nice sinister feel to it. I feel at parts though the sounds get kind of jumbled. Like at around 1:20 it gets really chaotic. I do love the melody hidden amongst the chaos though, keep it up!

I've been listening to a bunch of your songs and I've noticed you like to re-use a lot of synths. If you want I know a lot of free synth VSTs that are really quite good! Actually, just PM me haha I want to ask you about your creative process and technique. :P

NGKFlower responds:

yea i do re-use some of the synths, i just like it in general. but now i am trying to mix it up a bit with a few more things. sure i'll pm u. im quite curious about some of your techs too.. :)

[DBZUB22- Freiza]

Alright now this one is just really nice xD! Very inergetic start and wonderful buildup. I love the bleep that doesn't change pitch. I think the reverb is a bit to long on the synth introduced at 1:26. A bit repetive for me but nevermind, on this one I think it really works. Great job! The drums are straight up golden xD

NGKFlower responds:

thanks! im progressing a little better with each tune. ^_^

[Gogeta Special]

I like it, you build up really nice. I think you held off breaking it down for too long however. As a whole I think it is a bit to repetive, though the quality is very nice and would do very well as an ambient!

NGKFlower responds:

thanks. im still progressing and experimenting as i continue remixing. :)

[Thiefs]

The melody is highly simplistic and repetitive, put a bit more time into it. Try and include a backround synth of some sort, like a pad. It will make your music sound more wholesome and full, and also makes it easier to influence the listener.

Your song has some definite problems in the flow, it sounds like you designed several different works in progress and stitched them together. When you shift in the song it needs to flow, without that flow it breaks immersion.

However I can see some clear talent, all I can say is keep making music and uploading it. With time you will continue to get better so don't stop. If you ever need another review PM me and I'll try and help you out!

Keep it up, your song reminds me of some stuff I did long ago.

[Surfer]

Very nice sound, but i think the earlier melody could be developed a bit more. As it stands right now it sounds a little like random notes up and down the keys. At around :52 - 1:06 I like the melody a bit more.

Good job on mastering it, I really like how open it sounds.
