x-Exodus-X's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[AltS]- Vespiano]

Nice...

This is pretty sweet, I like what I hear.
Nice melodies, and terrific harmony work...I can definitely see this in an RPG game.
The drums are a nice touch, you had some cool beats in there.

Only one thing I would change...the piano is a little bit too preset-ful...FL Keys isn`t that great by itself, by with some effects you can get some cool sounds out of it. When I get back, I can send you the mixer preset I use (with EQ, Reverb, and such). It`s pretty basic, but sounds quite good and you can tweak it to your liking. :)

You get a 10 from me, cus it`s a nice song. The ending works well, I forgot to mention. What did you use to do that? Edison, Wavepad? It`s executed quite nicely.

Keep it up!

alternativesolution responds:

Wow! Great review. Your mixer preset sounds good, so sure. And yeah, I used Wavepad. Thanks a lot for reviewing, I really appreciate it! :)

[-GreenGreens remix-]

This is awesome..

The strings are flawless. Every instrument is used perfectly...

Truly gets the Kirby feeling across, while also staying within the great Waterflame style we all love.

A work of art!

[{dj-N} Tears In My Eyes [RM]]

Cool song...

Catchy synths, pretty nicely done.

Except, almost all your trance songs use that same chord progression. It kind of gets tiresome after a while, because a lot of your melodies are really similar too. Try something new, i`m sure you`ll find other progressions you like!

Anyway, pretty flawless song...

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Impact]

Nice. I liked it

Reminded me a lot of Pendulum`s music.
Nicely done! I love the hard bass and heavy snare!
Keep it up, man!

-Exodus

[+C+ Keep the Beat]

Nice, I like it!

Catchy melody. I remember you showing me it, I think.
I like the gate, that was cool. What did you use for it?

The bass could have been a bit louder though, and it seemed to play some noted a bit out of its range (too low).

Its a nice loop, and a full song would probably be pretty sweet! Sweet song!

Neon-Crepth responds:

:] thanks for the review! i think i might have played it a little for ya... the gated one was dance- orion string with some high eqing on the 5,6, and 7th bands. it sounds like crap by itself as im sure you've tried out. but it works to 'fill in the rest' as neodrummer said. i dunno what i'd do without the gater X] 'n yeah after the lowest note it hits i was originally having it go lower... but i decided i was pushing as it was.
thanks, ttyl

[darth mauls revenge]

Cool, pretty nice song.

You definitely get the creepy, vengeful feel across. I like the guitar-like synth you had going around 1:30.

However, I felt the song was missing some intense percussion. Some cool DnB breaks probably would have gone well with this

But overall, it's a pretty cool song. What program do you use? We could probably collab sometime, if you want...

-Exodus

[_-=[Don't Tell Me Again]=-_]

This is incredible...

Assuming you haven't stolen this (which i'm not implying you have), this may well be one of the greatest classical songs in the audio portal.

I would also like to know what Vst's or program(s) you used, and I can't wait to hear more from where this came!

-Exodus

[+C+ Perpetual Entropy]

cool song

Nice synths...this song gave me a jungle feel.
I love the square that comes in around 1:10. The synth at 1:20 was a little overwhelming though, but has awesome melodies come with it.
Cool effects, they went really well with the synths.

Also, I love the percussion. It's jumbled, but organized (which doesn't make any sense at all but I can't think of a better way to describe it...it's good!) The ending was cool...the snare was a little preset-y (the vintage 3 one in the end) but it's ok, that's a good snare.
Nice work on this..!

-Exodus

Neon-Crepth responds:

i agree about the 120 synth. i was EQing it yesterday and i didn't want it to sound too compressed, in that effort it became harsh and how you put it overwhelming. the percussion was from the pack of breaks you got for me. they worked out really well for what i was trying to do. lol, the snare i don't think was mastered at all. XP. oh well. 'n yeah, isn't it amazing what kinda effects you can get with just those crappy simsynth instrument!
thanks man. glad you liked it!

This...

is sweet! Definite download...

Awesome instrument choices. They were all perfect.

This is really, really good, and very professional sounding!

Where did you get the snare? VIP Zone? If so, I definitely have to get more stuff there...the bass too? It rocks!

Lots of diversity, never gets boring! Great job....

No apparent flaws...

DJ-X-POSED responds:

Really? None? There are a few actually, but whatever. XD

I got every sample I used for this piece except the lead from VIP Zone.
