Calamaistr's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Zippity - WIP]

hm...

Its extremely lacking in quality and then i do not mean the quality of the instruments used but the quality of the composition, it all sounds completely random and in no way contains anything interesting to the ear.

I still gave you a 3 score for the apparent effort but you really need to study some melodical insight, i mean this to be helpful.

A good idea could be for you to look into classical harmonies such as bachs work before you start making music in a genre that is completely dependant on its composition.

loansindi responds:

This piece isn't random. It followed a very strict chord/key progression. If you can't hear that, I can't help you.

I'm glad you think I put some effort into this, though I'm curious exactly what you mean by 'melodic insight.' Really, please send me a PM with your amazing secrets of melody.

Thanks for the review.

[You're hardly a ghost...]

get a bucket...

throw in some atelier iris, some disgaea and this would fit perfect as the theme music.

;)

Tomppaah responds:

I don't understand half of that sentence.. If you're calling me names, RIGHT BACK AT 'YA.

If not.. Thank you :)

[Tropicana.]

nyuuu!

the first thing that came to my mind was Super adventure isle!!!!

Im sure you can do great things with the right tools mate.
Keep at it.

Tomppaah responds:

Hah ;D Thanks man, appreciate it! Cureently i have no computer of my own, but as soon as it's working again i'll be sure to give your submissions a piece of my mind!

[#1 Team]

i dislike pop

but its not bad, at first it reminded me of some christmas song but its more a bit like a holiday version of punk genre. heh.

Hope you dont mind my view. ;(

Surdu responds:

don't mind at all. Thanks for looking past your bias! It means a lot to me that you would give an 8 for something you would never listen to otherwise

[The Insanity - Simple vs]

oh how i love someone who knows what hes doing

Ok, after having listened to 3 of your tracks i can say with absolute certainty that you are a good musician that has a good sense of melodical composing and no trouble making music in any genre. This track is so goosebump inducing, those background sounds are really good and the musicbox melody just makes it all the more creepier. Reminds me of the childrens room in koudelka (a game for the ps1) where you find vigna and valna . ;(

Great work.

sorohanro responds:

You should check Evil Kris' game... now that's a goosebump inducing thing ;)
Thanx for review.

[The Insanity - Metal vs]

you know..

the more i check out your music the more i am amazed.
Its funny though that i also have done tracks like these, but then with a whole other kind of quality ofcourse since ive only used consoles and no modern programs. Its interesting to hear this kind of music with instruments that actually sound like they arent synthetic. ;) I cant give you a low score with music this nice either.

In fact this made me think of something ill ask you in a pm.

sorohanro responds:

Thank you for your reviews and your very positive feedback.
Some of the instruments are real, that's why they sound so real :) I do play guitar and trumpet.

[Flying Dragon Skull Force Zero]

another 5

cause this track is way to silly in a good sense to have a low score. Sounds a bit like some of the asian techno from those racing/sportscars action movies.

but i also need to be honest and say its not my taste so cant give you a 10 on the review, sorry.

RayRayBeats responds:

lol, thank you for the input kind sir!

[Maximus!]

Same here, i normally dislike hiphop genre etc

But this emediately got me, and the transits are perfect aswell, i personally stay far away from anything commercial but you could be payed for this.

(i must add though, the background music sometimes seem to get old but then the piano comes in again and its all good)

oh and it loops like a bru. so 10/10

RayRayBeats responds:

My songs will always loop well :) that's the beauty of fruity loops!

[Icarus - Freedom Cry]

This is really good you know.

Happens to be my favorite kind of guitars, and both the start and ending were very kind/sweet, so its very nice on replay too. :)

sorohanro responds:

Thanx for the review.
