XotiK's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flying with clouds (Full V)]

It's aight.

Could be better. Sounds like some of the synths are not much different from presets. I can hear a padawan unless I'm wrong <_<

-Kick is nice but needs to hit harder.
-Needs snare
-Needs hats
-Crash/cymbal is too quiet.
-One of the arps is too simple and original.
-Nice Piano btw.

2:26 the crash is late it should probably hit at the same time as the last note of the piano melody.

2:28 - 3:17 & 4:30 - 4:49 sound weird and off sync.
either change you saw bass or that arp.

Song is just a bit repetitive. Yes you have a lot of different bridges and verses you could say.
New synths and sounds do come in eventually but take a bit too long thus the repetitiveness.

Needs some good transitions and build ups. kick rolls, snare rolls, crash rolls, reverses etc.

3:31 - the melody starts taking the song somewhere now.

4:49 - 5:01 sounds to different from the rest of the song.

-Ending could be better. Maybe a bigger bang or something unique.

Oh and this sounds like it would be better at a faster tempo. It could take off some time if it's going to be repetitive.

Altogether with all the patterns and channels you have, I think you can mix this song well, and end up with a 3-4 minutes long of a song.

Keep working on music. Good luck.

Thanks for the helping words :)

[-RG- Ocean Sun]

name fits the song

The intro isn't long but repetative, maybe take off 0 - 0:13

some of the synths are too plain sounding like they were just taken from presets. Same goes for the sound packs. The kick is nice and the percussion altogether is good.

I think the piano could have been made a bit better and I don't really like the order of the last 2 notes in the piano melody.

Song is also a bit too repetitive and ending of the song could be better. take of that last ding at the end. It seems out of place.

Great vocals btw.

Song has great potential.
8/10 4/5

thanx for the feeback.
I thought the song was repetative, but when I went back to shorten it up, I couldn't decided on what to take out. I really don't have anything else to say, so I'll back and mess around with the 2 piano notes.
