Stalagmite's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The rain will never stop]

its quite good. :D lol

interesting idea. the strings lack in power though. to make them more dramatic try overlapping them and adding a cleaner reverb.
I can here the melody building now. I LIKE IT! really good. suprised me! however you surely do need to work on your introductions. the intro is the first thing i heard, and because i thought it started a bit weak. it will effect my judgement on the rest of the track... HOWEVER! it has just redeemed itself.
You transpose thee key up too. it doesnt flow well enough into the transposition. and sounds off key for a moment.
Work on that piano too. try and get one with more emotion. it lacks the pleasant velocity sense. real pianos dont play at the same strength on each key. some notes are soft. others are hard. depending on the impression you want to give.
Bangin tunage though. really impressed.
Well done and thanks alot.

Ozzy93 responds:

yes, i wasnt sure about the piano in the transposition, i didnt figure out how to do it. if anyone could tell me, it would be nice :D

[Travel {^}-{Alix1}-{^}]

yes. another synth would work.

perhaps a synth that would play something harmonious thus complimenting your melody. your piano is tinny though. destroy it LOL. and get a nicer sounding one.
You could add strings too. theyre nice. and i am happy i dont hear any cheesey claps too. :D yayness. some constructive criticism. :D:D:D
you have certainly earned the 9/10 and 5/5. and you are in my favourites now too. :D

alix1 responds:

Thank you for that awesome review! Yeah the piano is a little tinny but i cant get a new one till i have enough money to get a good one.

[Seymour's Ambition }-{Alix1}-{]

actually....LOL

your other stuff is whack. but this... WOW. you are playing this..... OMG! why the hell cant i play like that! wowza! excellent job! well done my good sir! keep it up!
this piece certainly has an eery and insecure feeling to it. your choice in music is really good aswell. and im guessing your heavy into anime too lol. why not post an animation on NG? give it a go. :D

alix1 responds:

I try to play as much of my music as i can.. I am actually playing a few songs that I have on my list. I sometimes use Fruity Loops 8 to do some songs.

i do work with flash. Lately I have been working on a game. actually it is more of a compilation of games. I will have a lot of the games for the atari like tetris pong mario and maybe zelda!

[ATTACK! {^}-{Alix1}-{^}]

um...

if it is not beyond your capabilities to recreate such epic tracks.... why not actually compose some yourself? i am sure you could be a wicked composer! give it a blumin try man! your propably gonna be excellent. :D i will check out your other work now to see......

alix1 responds:

okies thankies! im a horrid composer though... lol. you give me the sheet music for anything though and i can play it.

[Forgotten {^}-{Alix1}-{^}]

some memory.

for someone who heard it once, and doesnt know what its from...so couldnt find it...you sure memorised it well. wow. well. none the less. its lovely. and although not composed by you, its still a nice little addition to newgrounds. you could have spiced it up with some other instruments. orchestral ones. nice. :D

alix1 responds:

The guy below you has an answer to what it is. I just used what i could hum and made it sound OKish.

[-fM!-JustaJourney]

OOOOOH......

hypnotism is as eery and frightening as this song. WOOOOOO!
This does lack a bit though. requires more structure and a greater layer of instruments. try strings and more percussives. also drop the basic synth. it removes all the drama and clashes, it sounds to Cliche. :D other than that. gd job M8. :D

FatalMessiah responds:

I actually thought it was lacking a little something to. But I couldn't really figure out what I wanted to add without ruining the way it flowed.

[~~Ressurection~~]

quite basic and repetitive.

it appears, you may not be so easily inspired. try going for a walk. get your head straight. seriously think about yourself and your compositions.
You having the makings of a good musician.
You understand structure, pattern, melody, harmony. key and Rhythm. keep it up. and get better.

EvilSpiritBeast responds:

lol its just a loop of a build up i made in a few minutes. sry! i've spent more time on other songs, but this was supposed to be simple. i wanted to see how many melodies i could stack on each other. it turned out decent so i decided to put it up. thank you for the review though!

[March of the Fey (incomplete)]

have you heard of tim burton?

if he made metal music. this is what it would sound like. truly great. so much more is missing from it though! to make it more epic try adding Glockenspiels, better strings and a deep eery double bass.
non the less. this is refreshing and unique. well done. and if you do change it. please tell me.

EvilSpiritBeast responds:

thanks a bunch. that really means a lot. I'll be sure to let you know when I upload a longer version.

[mountain climbers]

clashy and keeps malfunctioning for me.

but that may be my end.
however this piece is quite good. interesting ideas i must say.
you could flow your strings together more by slightly lengthening the notes to ovelap eachother. and then add a slight reverb for effect. it makes a difference.
OH! and another thing....
IF YOU KEEP JUST "CHUCKING" THESE COMPOSITIONS OUT. WHAT THE HELL DO THE ONES YOU ACTUALLY "WORK" ON SOUND LIKE! GEEZE! LOL thanks dude. someday, submit something you have really had a go at. i would love to hear it. :D

CodenameBob responds:

haha, will do, and im just trying to get ideas and critique so i know where to go with the ones i "work on"

[bellsybells]

LOL

LOL. omg. this is so cute! INSTA WIN! well done! truly impressed! simple. beautiful. and the chord sequence. WOwza. not that original. but you truly made it your own. its actually the kind of thing i would make. :D we could be a super music team! called the "A" minor team... or something else heartbreaking. LOL. thanks again. 10/10 and 5/5

CodenameBob responds:

haha, ohhh yeah, i wanted to do it with saxes, but i had a terrible time doing it and piano, i can only do in real life, not on this little crappy midi, but thanks anywayz
