Tarian's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mind Blow (Bloody tears remix, castlevania)]

This is pretty cool. It doesn't really stop, and while I normally find that annoying, the melodies and sounds were mixed in a way that keeps it interesting. None of the sounds are painful and it's not super repetitive. I could actually listen to the whole song, which is more than I can say about a lot of them. Nice work!

Keypat responds:

Thank you so much for you review man. I'm pleased you enjoyed it! :)

[Geometric Coast]

The first thing I thought when I heard this is that there is a lot going on. It can be distracting, and at times the sounds seem to interfere with each other more than they compliment each other. There also doesn't appear to be much of a structure, but I'm not too familiar with video game music so I'm not sure how important that is. It's not bad, and this is just my opinion, but it's not amazing.

Zechnition responds:

I think that structure isn't as needed in VGM but this song definitely needs more of one, Thanks!

[Av8tor-End of Time]

It sounds pretty good, I like the sounds you used a lot. However, it seems somewhat disorganized (in that the melody doesn't stick to the time signature very well). Aside from that, the arrangement works well and the drums are also very good.

Phlame1274 responds:

Thanks for the review! I'll try to work on the organization in the future. :)

[Electronic Kingdom]

This is arranged very well and the sounds mix together nearly perfectly. It sounds like it was mastered, and it's catchy. The one thing I didn't like was the kick towards the beginning. It sounded out of place because it was too loud and distracting. Overall, there is very little to complain about and it sounds really good!

Zechnition responds:

Thanks for your review and yes I definitely see now that the kick is a bit too loud. =D

[Rhythmic Hollow]

I find it very interesting how you mixed the background in, it really adds to the theme that you had already done quite well. The effects are well done, and overall the mixing is good. However, it is somewhat redundant and that is something you should watch out for.

Retsamehtmai responds:

Ah yes! Thank you, will do. ;)

[Lightning]

Good job, you captured the retro style very well with this one. The speed, which stays consistent, is very comfortable and this track is quite enjoyable to listen to. Overall, this is well done and you did a good job with the retro sound.

Thanks for the kind words!
