"No audio credit = badness"

submission: Piano Man

date: December 15, 2006

I want to know who did the opening music "Where There's a Whip, There's a Way". There aren't any audio credits. That sucks ass, especially since I'm a musician myself. Free, good music is a good thing, but free, good, uncredited music is just shit.

The animation was alright, except one point where the music is in the low register and the player's right hand is at the top of the keyboard. I'm sure even 'normies' would notice that.

Score: 10

"Thanks"

submission: Acorn Atrocity

date: April 2, 2006

Hey, thanks for using Choral Cue. It's a good piece. It's gratifying to know people like my stuff. If you need anything medievalish for the second part, just send me a note at a_sly_shrew@hotmail . Cool Flash, by the way. Grins for Queen and Psycho. Also, I thought you used my piece pretty well, especially when Orion is being all "Remember me". Peace.

Score: 8

"Kind of cool"

submission: {DKL} A Happy Life (Classical)

date: May 17, 2008

Kind of captured a feeling, though I was waiting for something more, or perhaps just a change in any aspect of the piece. Perhaps just changing the register, and playing the same notes an octave lower or higher would do the trick. Or even a whole other layer to the piece, like a woodwind melody. There are infinite possibilities in music, and I think you'd find greater enjoyment in writing your music if you tried more stuff. Perhaps something you'd never think of doing, just to see what happens. Also, the repetitive bass octaves could be mixed down a bit. They rather muddy the track.

Very good material, though. Keep writing. :-)

"Hawt blues"

submission: Warcraft Blues

date: May 17, 2008

Nice blues, with good solo....last thing one expects to find on Newgrounds. Funny, too. Kudos to you......a nice Hammond organ would add another level of awesome, but I'm rather biased, being a keyboard player myself. Anyway, great stuff.

Score: 9

"ACID, huh?"

submission: Rainflower

date: August 2, 2007

I like this better than the Lost Church piece, honestly. Reminds me of the music from the first Age of Empires game. Though the vocal-sounding instrument would be out of place there. Anyway, well done.

A few things about both composition and the NG audio portal. If ACID is the only composition program you have, you will inevitably find it constricting soon. You can get a free sequencer from noteworthy. Google them if you don't already have a sequencer. It sounds like you are knowledgable about music in general, so there are very few obstacles left to conquer. Also, it looks like you are taking some time between submissions. I never got a lot of buzz back when I was actively contributing here, but I do know that traffic is what gets you noticed and what gets you reviews. Submitting a new 'piece' every day or two, then tossing in the big pieces you really want recognition for is a good system. The oodles of people coming to check out the many pieces you've contributed are bound to stumble across the things you really put your all into, even if they have to wade through a few extras first. If you look through my oldest things, you'll see there's a lot of useless crap. But every now and then, there's something worth noticing.

That said, good luck. And get to work......:-P
