Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Deep Space (DjD)]

\m/

Very atmosphic track. But I had more of a deep sea or a large cave in mind than the depth of the space, but whatever. It doesn't take away from the great atmosphere you manage to create with the different sound effects.

Maybe you should try to add a few higher pitched sounds to create a more "spacey" feeling.

Mad-Muppet responds:

Thanks alot for your review! And yeah, high-pitched sounds are a good idea, I'll have to keep that in mind :D

[Oboe.Classical.No.1]

\m/

It's a good oboe track, but sadly the oboe is too quiet! It struggles to be heard against the background melody.

Also, at 0:12 the track sounds a little bit dissonant, but maybe that's just me.

The ending is a bit of a let down. Either try to loop the track or try to find a "bigger" ending to this.
Also, if you don't loop this you should try to make the song a bit longer.

Flash-MX responds:

Thanks for the review!
I agree on every point basically, I'm re-writing the piece and will probably upload a longer version sometime during this week,
I am also changing the entire composition of the strings, I pretty much rushed that process completely "D
I've also changed the frequency on the oboe so it cuts a little bit more through the rest of the piece,
Thanks again!

A very nice song. A mixture of a parody and a real love song, heh. ^^

The voice of the one singer is a bit strange, but together with the other voices it sounds pretty good.

The guitar is nice and simple, just how "love songs" should be.

[Tiesto Killed The Techno Star]

\m/

lol@Gorebastad going techno. ^^

To the song: I like the videogame-ish feel of that song, even though I expected something more dirty and heavy when you mentioned Gorebastard in the author comments.

Anyway, the song would fit very well in a RPG type game. Most likely this would be the track that would be played during fights. The song has a very nice length and it doesn't get repititve. Nice work! :)

SolusLunes responds:

yeah, that would be the day, when he does techno.

Glad you liked it! :D

[Quick Shot]

\m/

Not that bad for a test, I'd say. The drum and kick sounds work very well here, create a pretty good background track, even though it doesn't loop that well.

Too bad that the song gets repititve so fast, though. It's only one minute long, so there's not that much room for diversity in here.

I really hope to hear something longer and better planned out song from you in the near future! :)

I like the melodies in here and the fast pace of the song. I also like the different parts you put in here. Those are keeping the song from getting too repititve.

Too bad that the main theme is heard so often. You should vary that one bit as it starts to get a bit annoying towards the end of the song.

HMS-Productions responds:

Yeah you're right, variation is one of my weak points, but I think i've gotten better since this song

thanks

[<TheMayo>What Am I?]

The guitar and the beat sound pretty nice. The main problem is that FL always will sound like FL, so that it all songs created with it sound more or less the same. But I think you managed to come up with something different, at least I didn't have the feel that I already knew the song even though I have never listened to it before like I have with many other FL-tracks.

I like how the song slowly builds up. But sadly, there isn't a real climax in here. It seems as if the song is building up the whole time and then it's suddendly over before it really started.
Some sort of main theme would help here, I think.

TheMayo responds:

yea, i understand tht FL isn't the best program, but its the only thing i got, nd i hafta use wat i have. I kno theres a lack of a climax, but i dnt really have an interest in taking this piece n e further. thnx for the input

You're right. The song is quite catchy. I like the melodies you used in here. But I think there's still something missing here. It all feels like it is more of an intro to a much longer and larger song than a song on it's own.
Maybe it's the lack of a background beat that makes me feel that way.

However, I like the somewhat comical feel that this track has to offer.

LuciousClump responds:

I Actually get the same feeling this song is actually an intro for a group of songs I made
That I was gonna animate A couple of flashes to like a string of events,but don't worry it
picks up in part 2 thx fore the review :)

[Sorrow Knows Many Names]

\m/

It's a nice song, but I think it's too quiet. You should either play the piano in a more aggressive way or try to turn up the volume of your mic. Because right now many fine nuances of your play just can't be heard because of the low volume.
And I think it's a shame that we can't listen to it properly, because that what I heard sounded great!

MusicMyOxygen responds:

Its good to know you enjoyed it. A quiet feel was sort of what i was going for though. I realize that I probably overdid it though but that is because it was difficult finding the perfect voloumed in which to pick it up. Because while this song is overall quiest it has a part or two where it got a little louder, and you have to make it so that it picks it up, but no so much that there is fuzz or that you can barely hear it. I am not that good with recording and whatnot. I will hopefully fix the low volume issue if and when I re-record it. I am happy that you were still able to see through the low volume and to the aspects of the song and the playing of it. Thank you for review, I really appreciate getting them.

I like the calm sounds of this track. And you are right with your description. Either you are swimming in the ocean or you're a bird flying across it. But I think there are hundreds of different interpretations and all are as good as those two.

I also like that ancient/asian atmosphere that some of the sounds create, it adds another note to the song.
