CeeeX's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Darkness Within]

It was pretty good, but some parts felt a bit short. You maybe should've added more to the wobble-synth to give it an extra punch because it did felt a bit empty.

But not too bad nonetheless.

[Elfen Lied]

It's hard to tell what your idea was behind of this music, since you didn't even know how to call this music.

The build-up too a bit too long before the hardstyle kicking dropped in, which is a shame, because the kick at 2:21, should've been the core base that would make this track pretty sick to listen to.

You did choose good sounds for the music ^^

[Pure Bass Session]

Dang, you only had to add punch to the clap by adding snares maybe or you would've gotten a full yes!

Airprogressive responds:

thank you ceex!

[Rainy]

The atmosphere in this track is introduced right at the start as it begins being a very mellow and at the same time dreamy. The climax has been reached in many moments which succeeded in giving you this very uplifting feeling.

I would and will definitely listen to this when I'm having my breakfast or having a shower. When reading, going outside for a walk.
Everything sounded right. The melody progression, the vibe and the mixing.

I couldn't tell the part where you began to get crazy, but I sincerely enjoyed this piece.

Definitely going to fav this! I'm glad that NG does have people like you posting music like these!

[Cloud City]

It sounds like it's greatly inspired by pokemon games, that's what I think.
I like how this music progresses!
The combination of all the sounds you've chosen to use, makes this music a treat to listen to!

[March of the Bone Children]

Well this sure is something that I'm not used to listen to, but I find it remarkable that you can make a composition like this. I would never make up anything like this!

I can definitely picture this to be in an animated film or a game!

I notice that you made use of giving each instrument a certain place in the "digital" room, but you could've made it definitely more wider, because it sounds a bit as if the members of the orchestraband are still crammed up next to each other.

This isn't usually my cup of tea, but based on the composition and your mix, I'll give it 4 out of 5 stars!

LeoMDK responds:

Thanks for the kind words and critique -- I studied classical composition in college, so this kind of composition comes easily to me (though a piece as richly orchestrated as this one did take a long time to make). I think you're correct about the stereo field not being wide enough ... I'll have to experiment with the panning a bit. I did this in Finale and Kontakt/VSL and just used the default settings for the instrument panning ... which may be "accurate" according to the layout of the orchestra, but maybe not exaggerated enough to translate to electronic production. :) I'll experiment with it. Thanks for the suggestion. Can I contact you when I upload the new version and get your opinion on the changes?

[Contemplatio]

The song is pretty good with just a little slip-ups.

What I liked about the music was the sound quality was crisp and clear, the melody of the guitar and most things just felt right when listening to this.

The strings that you used, however, could've been brought more to the front as it was very hard to hear the strings. It felt it was about to fade away when it actually wasn't.

Also both the solo and chords of the guitar was placed in the left side, which made my right ear feel a bit lonely. I preferred if you had placed the guitar solo on the left side and the chords on the right which gives the whole song a bit more dynamic in it.

You did a pretty damn good job with this track and I'm sure you'll make progression with each and every single new track!

Good luck!

[Tipsy and Dub]

This is definitely one of the better dubstep tracks I've heard around in this place, nice!

Fadeliss responds:

Thanks for the support! Glad you liked it! you can spot a track here and I'll listen if you want! And review! , and mix it, no issues, please, have fun with it! try , and take a chance,!! all for the music!

[Ghosts Passing Through]

It's really hard to classify this track to a certain genre, but I'd say that it's almost an experimental track.

I'm not sure what the purpose of this track was, as I felt questions rised up once the music has ended.

Does it sound good?
Well it's alright, but I it felt a little desoriënted, because I didn't know what to focus on. The melody? The drums?

It's not really my cup of tea though and I'm sure that other people might like it.

[Winter Mourning]

Godlike.

Did you use EWQL?

It's hard to hear though.

Turn thy volume up high and thy lamps down low.
