Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[(_RGH_) Aero(on a plane) ".(."]

\m/

The intro is a bit too long in my opinion, but after that (when the plane takes off) the track gets a lot better.

You audialized (is that a word?) the plane crash quite well, but I think you should have added some dissonant tunes in the melody shortly before the plane "crashes", or some little breaks, to simulate some problems with the motor.

The ending is too abrupt, a little fade out or a big crash on a cymbal would have been better here, I think.

I like how you seperated the track in different parts with the description. It was funny reading it and listening to the track at the same time. It created a good atmosphere.

The sound is very good and the mixing is done pretty well. But there's just something missing. Something that makes me wanna listen to this song again and again. A catchy main melody maybe, that varies a bit from part to part.

I could throw a melody in here, better yet I should just make some lyrics

[Jason Needs A Girlfriend 3]

\m/

Well, the drums are very nice. The double bass is just amazing, and the riff the drum plays is cool, too.

Again, the lyrics get very repititve after a while and the drums totally outpower the guitar. So, it's hard say anything about what the guitar played... but it seems less repititve than in your first song I reviewed.

Thanks.

[Jason Needs A Girlfriend]

The lyrics are quite funny, but it gets very repititive after a short time. Also, the guitar could have played something more interesting.

Also, the balancing is a bit annoying. The voice is balanced totally to the right, the music totally to the left. It sounds a bit weird that way. Also also there where some statics when you played the guitar. Either this is because the guitar was too loud and the mic couldn't record it properly or it's because I need new speakers, heh.

Anyway, the song is funny, but too repititve.

The guitar fit in perfectly with the words..I improvised this after all..And yeah the guitar was recorded at a high volume..So yeah..If you have any EQ ideas then tell me.Because it sounds fine on my 5.1 surround sound speakers.

[Fantasia Nocturne No.2]

\m/

Well, the major problem with this track is the low sound quality. But I'm sure you know that yourself.

Unfortunately it's very hard to listen properly to the song, because some nuances are just whiped away by the low and muffled sound. But from what I can make out, I like this version a bit better than the first one, because the background melody seems to vary a bit during the song.

[Fantasia Nocturne No.1]

\m/

It's a very nice track. I like the deep sound of the piano.

The main part of this song sounds pretty awesome. I like the developement of the melody and the little "solo" parts you threw in there.

The background melody could be a bit more varied, though. It stays the same for nearly the entire track.

thanking im glad you liked it as for the backround staying the same, im new to writing for piano, so currently thats all my abillity will allow, plus the fact that my main instrument is piano, im basicly self tought, so maby in the future i will try that but for now its all i can do

[Town Theme Loop]

\m/

A great video game tune! This could either be used as a background song in a town or for a very cheesy cut scene. ^^

But I think this is more fitting as "town music", because it loops perfectly. But maybe it could be a little bit longer, because now it could get annoying very quickly.

sarias responds:

if you have never noticed, in classic nes and snes rpgs, the length of the song was very short due to restraints, i wrote this to be like a classic rpg track and thus made it short and sweet but im glad you liked it

[Alive(Original)(emc)]

\m/

It's a very long track and I like how it slowly builds up... maybe a bit too slow at times. Maybe you can cut the "intro" a bit in length.

Anyways, I like the beat that this track has to offer. And the melodies you put in here are great, too.

[n.83 (Demo)(WIP)]

\m/

This track offers a nice beat and a cool melody. It's very catchy and it doesn't get boring.

But it tends to get highly repititve in the long run, because there aren't that many changes during the track.
So, a few more changes from the main melody would be very nice to hear in the final version of this song.

[MAC 2008 - Monster]

\m/

I like how this song slowly builds up over the time. It creates a very dense atmosphere and it doesn't get boring listening to the song.

Unfortunately, the song loses some tension during the middle part. Until there, it builds up and still builds up and then suddendly... the whole atmosphere is lost.
:(

Maybe it would help if you made the middle part a little bit shorter.
