tox's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Night Wolf]

the canine barks didn't help throughout the song, i would definitely keep the howls though, bring them out a smidgen more

also i liked that you had a pause in the middle...

HOWEVER a pause usually means a change of tone... a change of pace.. not just put it right back in

if you are trying to dust off a piece of furniture, you dist it with something... you then should not just simply shake that item right over the dusted area... its self defeating...
change it up a little!

digging the beat though :3

[The Land of Mistery]

very commonly i close my eyes and listen to peoples creations and then, see where my imagination takes me...
from a nice flowing stream... or maybe feeling how your heart fluctuates as a chickadee lands on your hand to feed on the seed in your palm...

i close my eyes to this song... and it is just dizzy... revolving... painful... bad...

start with simple sounds.. a chime... a bell... maybe a combo of the two...
then go out... dont try to add 7 things and mismatch them into a song

balancedbirds responds:

To be honest,I use only two hours to make this music and a little time to check it.
So the first and last is so simple that the music is ...^_^
Lots of music of Shadow Meadow were composed when I was twelwe.this is one of them.

Thanks for your advice!I'll find better melody and instrument group to make better music!

[Storm]

i would start with listening to other people and how they put music together, start talking to others about their techniques...

in absolute honesty... this song.... sounds.. really bad...

balancedbirds responds:

I'm just a learner.I can't compare with others^_^
I'll learn how to make better music here.Maybe after 7 years,my music will make you amazed^o^

[Bull In Field - Let It Go]

who sung this song?

yeah lets keep it that way -.-

chicken-tits responds:

so hursh, u brek r herts </3

[Forest]

delicate all the way though, it was a nice song for that reason

would be interested to hear what you would do with a dueling harp and saxophone

DinkBot responds:

Thanks for the review! I enjoyed this one a lot. I'll have to give the sax/harp duet a try fersure.

[Innocent Heaven [Remix]]

a very soothing and original piece
i loved your allotted mood that you had coming into this and then you carried it out flawlessly with the use of a max of 3 instruments at one time that are audible.

very very well done

[The Last Dance]

we all know that this is going to the front page.

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

How so o.O?
Thanks for being so confident about it though! :3

[Love At First Scan - Score]

i have to say that this would make a very interesting scene in a movie... from a horror intro, to an epic bachground, to a horror scene again, and then back to the wide openness of the orchestra again

and as i watch the video it goes with it makes sense that this is the thing that it would go with...

[artans]

remember that a background beat cannot follow the same pattern for more then roughly 25 seconds.
you have the roughly the same background beat play through the entire song,
1-2-3-4 increase pitch 1-2-3-4 increase pitch, repeat 2 more times then do it all over again

this kind of thing is ok to do twice if it is followed by a break or insection with a different background beat, a solo, or a "wild mix up" of the frontal beats (your lead singer) if you will

other then that, its the same copy paste over and over again

if you are working on a trance theme and are getting stuck in a loop listen to something like Keamg3Uydi4 on youtube and listen how break of the background beat happens every 10 seconds alternating with a 20 second repeater.

it makes it all fresh, and gives a great GREAT illusion of complexity even though he repeats himself a lot

JMSy responds:

ok but thats not trance more like dubstep...old skool and even modern trance does not break up the music every 20sec for 10sec different beat...

[Aero]

one of the better songs i have listened to tonight

keep that up yo

Shozi responds:

thanks man. glad you like it :)
