x-Exodus-X's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[_-={Defiance}=-_]

wow. incredible.

This song was so flawless, I am speechless!

Actually, i'm not! Hear me out, this was one hell of an intro song. I cannot eve begin to imagine what the climax of the game's music will like!

I'm afraid I didn't get the feeling of defiance from this piece, despite the powerful brass and title. It seemed bold, yes, but also ambient. Like, a marching army, not yet near battle, but both eager and fearful to find out what is yet to come.

This song was quite good, to say the least. The dynamics were perfectley chosen and placed. I must learn how to get some decent brass that doesnt come in an 800 dollar sound pack like the ones you use, lol. Don't get me wrong, i'm sure they are very handy and worth the price, but I honestly don't have that kind of cash! So here I end my review, keep spitting out one quality song a week, you're simply too awesome for words.
5/5.

-Exodus

MaestroRage responds:

A climax!!!

I KNEW we were missing something >_<!!!

Then again the project was already at 10 megs which is Newgrounds absolute limit, so we had no room for another song, unless we severely degraded the quality of what we had, which I personally did not really want to do. All the songs for the game were reduced as much as possible without jeopordizing sound quality.

As for some good brass, I don't know if you know this site.

www.sf2midi.com

but that site has a LOT of soundfonts. Some are brilliant, but a lot of them are pure crap to be honest. If you have the energy, then search away!

I appreciate the compliments, I am glad you enjoy the works :D. I will try to keep them coming, I hope you will be around to listen to some of them ^^.

Thank you for the review, once again i'm glad you liked the piece!

[Kefka's Tower-FF6]

uh yea

i dont have time to give it a full review right now but i liked the song and i gave it a 5/5. i like the FF music and im glad your making remixes of their songs. keep it up!

MooMan911 responds:

Thanks. I'll keep em' coming as long as I can find ones that I want. =P

[Keep on Dreaming]

woot, first review

little fuzziness in the start, but my song has that too! its annoying how you have to reduce the file size so much in order to obey newgrounds' 4mb limit! >.<

anyway onto the song. i like the beat, nice little simple techno/trance thing, goes well with the song. cool synth choice, they all went together nicely. the only thing i had a problem with was that 2 note organ, it goes on the whole song! not much variety there! besides that, nice job. i like that harp noise that you used too. check out my page!
5/5

-Exodus

TheAhiram responds:

Thanks for the review exodus! the size limit was just like that already, so it didn't effect anything. Glad you like it! Shure, i'll check out your page as soon as I can!

[to the future conan]

hmm

i dunno, i see potential in you i guess, but you should add length to your songs. none of them are over 40 seconds, theyre mostly pretty repetitive. 5/5, nonetheless, just add soem length and diversity, and more than 3 patterns, and you should be good to go!

BlackPlastic responds:

Hmmm wouldnt I have to work hard to do that though....

[Ultimate BassHunter Remix mix]

nice

i see you used my base in there! maybe you should tweaked it a bit, i dunno. btw..i didnt compose this song! it was orinigally made by the proffesional techno artist basshunter. i like your pad and clap, very original, but it was basically the same instruments the whole song, and just the bass and melody! man you need to add diversity and make some melodies/harmonies of your own. other than that, good job. 5/5.

-Exodus

KittenInAStocking responds:

yeh, I'm thinking of doing the melody over in A minor.
The notes would be:
A, A A A, E, B C
C, C C C B C
ect. it would be the same melody in a different octive
Thanks!

[~EnV~Cellular]

yea the drums are pretty sweet

very techno-ey, could definetley be classified as dance, maybe even with a few more rave elements you could call it happy hardcore! i really quite like this one. it was too short though! as soon as that loud, dominant synth came in with the melody i was like nice! its building up to awesome climax, but then it just faded out! besides that, great song, and oh yea, make the bass louder! 5/5 and download, check out my page too!

-Exodus

Envy responds:

I made this one quite a while ago, and I really liked it at the time. Hell, I still like it ^.^ thanks for the review!

[Great to Be Back (acid remix)]

nice work

whoa, cool song. i listened to both the original one and this one, the acid remix, and i must say this one is quite a bit better! you probably should of added some diversity though, i know it's trance but a nice little melody would have kept the listener more intersted. besides that its good, i like the synth you used from beggining to end,it may have gotten repetitive but i liked it. yea, so thats all i have to say, just make your songs go somewhere, have a melody, just something to build up to. 5/5 and download! keep up the good work!

-Exodus

KittenInAStocking responds:

Thanks!

[Untitled Melody (fix)]

yea

argh! that chord progression, it is so overused! i shouldnt be talking though, my song is in that progression to, but i try not to make any in it! still a great song though. i would classify this more as techno though. you had a nice little clap that came in at one time, but it was really quiet! you should have maybe made it a little louder. i like that little bell riff, really nice, and you had good synth choices. i dunno if it was me but that one hollow synth that you had come in that one time seemed to have good pitch but the timing of the notes seemed pretty random. i dunno. great song all in all, its got my 5 and download. check out my page too if you can!
keep making good music like this!

-Exodus

thegmann responds:

First off thanks for the review I really appreciate it.

As far as the instrument balance thing goes you are definably right mixing is the big area im trying to improve on right now.

The randomness is, in fact, randomness but i really liked how those seeds turned out so i used them.

If you like this song I recommend downloading the version below as it is slightly better quality. If anyone wants a full quality version just PM me.

[JAG~Ultima_300]

this is cool

hey beatmaster. nice song you got here, reminds me of techno. i'll call it techdance lol. i liked the kick then snare, it was a good change from the usually dance kick then hihat. plus you had that eventual snare roll and kick roll made a cool little change in the beat too. but besides that, there wasnt much diversity. it was pretty much the same instruments throughout the whole song, but i guess thats not too bad as long is it has that bouncy DDR mood, which it did. so, uh, 5/5 and a download. see you around the portal!

-Exodus

beatmasterJAG responds:

Hey Bro! Thanks for the 5's and the D/Ls!

I have contemplated making a longer version with more variety in it, and some breaks.

[The BassHunter Song XTreme Mix]

haha

mine has 38 downloads, 5 reviews, and used in a submition. plus, a 4.83 rating. ;)

good luck topping that!
