Calamaistr's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[EC] The Showdown]

hmm

to much cymbal im afraid and some parts sounded a bit to forced, sorry man. (but maybe its because im listening to it without headphones atm i dont know)

EmperorCharlemagne responds:

not sure what ya mean by forced, but I won't deny I love the cymbal.

[The World's Greatest Magician]

love the instruments

stuff like this is only at its best with low fidelity man.

Tbh i thought emediately of odessa (from ttcx3 yes) because hes a magician aswell, but hes not fat.

:p

[Waltz of Reminiscing]

it has some flaws

its a nice piano sound though, wish i had that vst.
The walz tones sometimes fall out of walz rythm so you should work a bit on that.
Furthermore the composition is rather dull because its simple, but if you keep playing the piano im sure youll develope yourself, it took me years aswell.

[+BT+ Ocean Blue]

good sound, but one problem.

right on the 00:24 it seems to skip a note, and as someone else said i think you should add some retro percussion.

gr. Calamaistr.

btriangle responds:

Thanks bud, Im actually going to totally redo this song for fun, and make it a full song.

[The HalfAngelFreak]

oh come on...

This sounds incredibly chaotic at all times, even after listening to it 3 loops in a row..

Sure it has slight potential (at 0.40), but im almost lead to believe you should look for another hobby because its all completely musica falsa.

halfangelfreak responds:

Dear lord, you don't know this is supposed to be completely chaotic? Besides, this was my first composition on paper.

[Rucklo - Automatic Dude]

i like the sounds

shame the main percussion enduced a headache on me (for real) so i cant 10 this.
Its just to peaked, to sharp of a bass. I think with a more retro percussion this track wouldve gone in my favorites.

[If I had Lungs]

now this is music

it doesnt have to be 'super' it doesnt have to be 'pro' as long as its innovative and take you on a trip trough a story.

merlin responds:

Thanks, thats really what I was going for with this one! I'm glad you liked it. Be sure to check out some of my other songs.

Regards,
merlin

[Kefka's Theme Remix]

argh

The constant changing of tempo really ruined this.
As for the rest, its befitting kefka. And i love FF6 and the original track to this.

You should really redo this with a more constant tempo, it has potential.

[a Clockwork Orange Theme Remix]

I dont remember this

I liked clockwork orange, but i cant remember this music playing. Ohwell it has been so long ago i saw the movie, mustve been ten years if not more.

But i liked the use of instruments alot, it did gave it a whole other way to look at it.
And you're right, the main character is no villain hes simply ignorant to the pain hes causing and addicted to the chaos.

Normally i dont really apreciate people re-making music of existing works but i felt that this was wrongly voted low on, taking you did put down every note yourself ofcourse.
