Calamaistr's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Agamemnon [16bit]]

sounds ALOT like coming from FF7

Its just exactly that sound. No criticism here. :)
Pretty cool, so now bring me to the boss, i will defeat him with my overpowered sword of a thousand explosions.

EmperorCharlemagne responds:

Well, it WAS made with Squaresoft soundfonts :p

Back in the day those guys were masters of the SNES soundchip, I'll tell you what.

[The Elephant Man [Genesis]]

1:00 haaa

took me by suprise, before that i wasnt much impressed it all sounded a bit like a clutter of background, no offence meant ofcourse but i just missed a standalone melody some way.

But at 1:00 it made sense like it was going there all along. (you probably just meant it as a refrain ;l )

EmperorCharlemagne responds:

I'll admit at certain parts i kinda wished for more clarity, but on the whole, I am pleased with the final product.

I kinda liken the entire song as one large jam section with a refrain at the end (kinda like Armored Armadillo from Mega Man X), so your assessment is not too far from the truth.
Glad ya liked it!

[8-bit Backsteinhaus [wsk]]

original work?

well done, will check you out sometime again.

wandschrank responds:

Yes, original work of course, I even played it myself with my keyboard instead of clicking it. ;P

Thanks for your review. New stuff will come soon. ;D

[I Drank The Wrong Potion]

haha what is this

i dont recognice shit in it :P

but its a nice compliment that something of mine inspired you though, you really shouldve added the vocals though, thats the best part imo. ;)

There should be a potion collab now that i think of it hmm.

ill 5 it for the effort and gesture btw, greets -cal.

treyhaur responds:

I know, I really muddled it up :)

I used a bit of an awkward sample from the song to make it. I did get the "I have a potion" line in there but I didn't get the vox to shine through as much as I wanted (they're buried in the background under an ass load of reverb).

Definitely let me know about a potential potion collab cause this was pretty fun in itself.

Thanks for the review!

[Final Fantasy 7 - Kosumo]

yes.

instruments are just right, sadly the flute is a bit in the background compared to the hits, perhaps thats about my own prefference, hell i am just halfway on this and am going to 5 it.

greets -cal.

saintedix responds:

Thanks for the review Calamaistr. I wanted the flute to stay quiet compared to the percussion personally. Great ear though.

[Mario Bros 3 - Airtrippin']

lost me when the bass started

its good no question about it but i think the percussion part was wrong, it couldve been much much better especially if you wouldve inserted the 00:53 - 1:09 part in with an eventual bar lift.

nevertheless, a 7 aint bad man.

[The Fire in Her Eyes [EC]]

if i played a nintendo game

i wouldnt be suprised if i heard your music in it, youre improving that much. :)
I hope 8bit comes back man, shit.. graphics are making videogame developement as expensive as it is, :/
Back when, games were made with a passion.
The same passion us composers make our music with, it was a passionate synergy.

We need that again.

Greets -cal.

[III (The Quest) [8-Bit]]

short

wich is sad, cause i like organ, this could easily fit into a 'restpoint' of a game, makes me think a little of battle of olympus for some reason.

you should make a longer version.

HungarianSubstations responds:

Indeed, this piece was actually created for an ambient noise project I am part of, so it was never intended to be a whole track. I am glad you like it though, and will certainly consider revisiting it, if not the use of organ-sounds in my future compositions ^_^

[Warbling Wumpalorp [8-Bit]]

the following is truth, not lies.

without lorp, there would not air.
without air there would not be bird.

Its a silly track, what more to say about it, it would bore me to hell if i listened to it for to long though, perhaps it would fit into a 'bonus stage' :)
Some cloud jumping to get points or whatnot.

HungarianSubstations responds:

Hahah indeed! Thank you for the review man!

[Little Tiny Adventure-Man!]

your own sound.

all i was missing was a solid melody on top, its not 'necaserry' but wouldve been nice.

It all sounds like a decent track for a urban stage ( you know, like in streets of rage / final fight type games)

Greets -Cal.

HungarianSubstations responds:

Absolutely man - I'll take it into account if I ever decide to redo/finish this piece.
Thank you very much for the kind words.
