Nex-the-Slayer's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[XY - Champion (8 bit)]

Well done, sir! I loves da 8-bit!

I was actually listening to this earlier on iTunes, since the soundtrack is out now. Very accurate, and on point with the original!

chaoticmarin responds:

Thanks! I tried this a while back, but couldn't make it sound nice until I got all this practice with PMD1. I owe a lot of it to all the practice I got, but also to some of my friends in the music community who gave me a bit of a hand with this particular song.

Well...

Don't take this as an overly harsh criticism, but your music needs more "OOMPH!", in my opinion.

I've listened to this track, and a few others on your submissions list. While the music DOES indeed follow the theme and style of Metroid, and is well written, this and a few of your other songs could use some sharper, accented tones.

Honestly, whenever I hear a traditional instrument in your music, it sounds weak and soft. And by weak, I don't mean low volume. It sounds like someone is purposely being light on the instrument (like "talking" as opposed to "announcing"). Talking is good for some instruments in some places, but for other deeper tones, a more forceful announcing sound is more realistic.

I know there's a limit to what you can do with synthetic instruments, but this is MY take on your music.

You do good work! Kudos!

This is what I need to hear! See I would have never known about this and I have you to thank. I will look into this and see what I can do to fix it. Hopefully when I do, it will take my music to the next level and we can turn that 8 into a 10.

Thank you again bro, and please continue to give your honest thoughts on my pieces.

Nothing too special, but it does take time ans accuracy to produce stuff like this. well done.

thanks, for noting that it took time, and um when making the it the sounds came out much better but when i made it mp3 the entire like background just disappeared so i was kinda cranky about that, but I dont think i did too bad. Thanks for the review, I dont get too many, maybe like 7 in total?
