nightvision's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rythmic Sadness]

Nice ambience

I recognized this piece from the G9Core podcast, good job on this one. I tend to really enjoy ambient pieces, and this was no exception, nice work. Good chords for ambience,

UnrealClock responds:

Thank you I needed another review I think this is the only good thing I ever did, but next week that wil stop... hopefully.

Nice ideas, but syncronization please

Haha, yes! The beginning was pretty fun stuff (reminded me of an awesome workout video), but the furthur you listen, the more frustrating it becomes as things become out of sync. Specifically the shakers and the bass line. If you were attempting some type of syncopation (down on the off-beats), then it wasn't quite successful. Definitely sounds fun in some parts, especially "eh nooowww-one, two, three". Alright, good try AngryStudent, but in the future try to make things a bit more solid around the edges. If the timing was there, I would think this was an interesting little track,

UnrealClock responds:

Yeah, I got a little careless that day. Anyway hope to read talk to you soon.

[warzone]

Well done, but is this yours?

This is an improvement "over the newer work" by far. Are yuo positive this is your music? If it is, then you did great, I hope in the future you spend this much effor on a song everytime,

nightvision

Jacque-de-la-morte responds:

No, this is not my music. One of my friends made it on his computer, but didn't want to put it on newgrounds because it loads it directly from your computer(if someone has hacked into newgrounds they can get your computer's code or ip address, I think that's what it's called). So I asked him if I could use one of his songs, and he agreed, provided that I only use one. And yes he is much better than I am.

[bebop-green bird remix thing]

This sort of thing isn't original work

This first bit of the song sounded STRANGLY similar to the second half of the intro. I would not consider this original work to be honest, I think you had better try "not remixing" an entire song if your plan is to only reverse certain sections. Please try to create your own melodies from scratch, i'm sure you can do it,

nightvision

Jacque-de-la-morte responds:

I would take it off if I could. I didn't just reverse certain parts of the song and am too lazy to finish the sentence.

[Sad Video Game Music]

Too much gain, I can't make out a melody

The intense gain on this song takes an enormous amount away from the song. I actually stopped the song once just to check that my speakers weren't broken because of the sound they were making. Fortunately it wasn't my speakers, but before I can properly review this, you need to turn the gain down a considerable amount please,

nightvision

Aenimus responds:

Then I did what was intended! Thank you for the 7's.

[Gloam]

Very interesting, well done

Very focused ambient track, mood was consistent. Alot of the audio samples you used sounded like weapon effects, which is interesting because unless you focus directly on each noise you would never realize what they were. A casual listen reminds me of a mid 1940 nazi secret science research facility. "Gloam" is a very appropraite title because it's almost overwhelming in the way it produces an "evil scientific" theme. You may want to increase the gain for the quiet melody that loops periodically in the left channel, it would have intensified the song even more. Good job in creating a specific mood for the listener, there's not much I would change. 4/5

nightvision

Aenimus responds:

I appreciate your thoughts on this piece, and what you imagined while hearing it. I was attempting to make something that provoked an uneasy feeling, and I certainly love your take on it! Thanks for the review, I feel special. (= 5/5 for the review, hehe.

[§Arbiter§ - Arise of Loth]

Excellent quality worksmenship

Though I don't have a lengthy review like the other's have generously given, I do say that this piece has alot of potential. First impression reminded me of a Milkman_Dan piece, I especially liked the beginning tremelo strings. It added to what was already a very solid beginning.

This piece should be used to a flash animation, it has several strong points for an action game [Half-Life style] introduction.

I would tend to agree that the cowbell could have been changed, but you ARE the artist of this song, and this left a fabulous impression on me. Great work, 5/5

Arbiter responds:

Length isn't all my friend, the quality of that amount of text is also.
I thank you for all comments, and I do agree when looking back, it's actually an anvil, and I don't like it in the first half, but it fits in the military half. Once again, thanks.

[-Orr-Nocturne in C# Minor]

Passionate, and Heart Touching

This is a wonderful piece David, i'm sure you realize that. This song intimatly connects with the person listening to it, I personally felt alot of diverse range of emotions through the beatiful job you did of articulating your notes. This piece was a song of your heart, a tale deep down that reflects who you are. I believe you are expressing personal reflection on a tragedy, reminiscing on a past experience that shook your world. The cold notes that you create , later turn to a warm comforting wind that explains and justifies the situation in your soul. This is then the music is temporarily joyful, and it is only then that you realize the entire gravity of the situation. I don't think this song ends with a conclusion, but rather an impact of opression on your life.

This is my brief interpretation of your thoughts, because not all thoughts are explainable to pen and pad. Your communication seemed clear and precise. I absolutely loved this piece DavidOrr, and I obviously 5/5 the score and downloaded.

nightvision

DavidOrr responds:

Wow nightvision, you're very well spoken! Infact, I believe you explained the feelings that I was intending to evoke in listener better than I could have. It's great to get a review from a great artist such as yourself!

Thanks for all of your support, it means a lot!

[Flight of th pheonix (re-done)]

Nice melody

Hello darkkloud, I had already written somewhat of a review in the forum, so i've decided to immortallize it here instead:

Darkcloud, you obviously have skill. But dont "compress" it nearly as much, and turn down the gain. That way we'll be able to hear the music you make, without all of the thumpin'. I bet it's good music, but my headphones refuse to tell me.

If I can make a difference for you, then i'm the one happy.

nightvision

darkkloud responds:

heh, its good to see that you decided to put this into a real review, and thanks alot men.

[Grey Sky Of Silver Moon]

This song sounds fair.

The beginning rythms are initially confusing each other. You might want to straighten them out a bit. I agree that the static is more of an initial distraction rather than a device to add diversity. The Vocoder effects were very great, good job in that respect. This might do well in the miscellaneous genre, not in techno. Good effort, but I would recommend focusing on diversifying melodies instead of abstract rythms.

UnrealClock responds:

I did not know where to submit a Glitch entry, so well yeah.
