Echo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[Dr.S] Gmam]

Well, not a bad try....

It starts off with a piano of not such good quality and the high reverb on the piano didn't blend in with the following notes so that provided the intro with a great deal of discordancy. I recommend u use a better piano with less reverb as otherwise, the intro notes were good.

The main melody was good too, even though you varied it very little throughout the whole song. It always help to introduce alternate melodies as all u did was basically play that pattern over and over again with some slight melodic backgrounds playing faintly behind it.

Transitions weren't the best either, all u did was cut off that part of the song, fading it away so that u could then begin a new section. This isn't exactly what i'd call a transition as it makes the listener think that the song is finished when it actually hasn't.

Outro was virtually non-existent as all u did was fade away, this had started to get repetitive by then so i didn't even notice that the song had finished for a while :/. What you need is to reduce the gaps between sections and add some sort of climax between them such as some sort of drum roll oor reverse cymbal. to to this off, you would have to finish off with something different, maybe finish off with a ban (Crash cymbal, reverb kick, etc) or do a different outro...

Overall, its a pretty decent effort, but you still need to put some further thought into it.

[Giga La Nora]

Quite a decent effort!

Its an interesting loop although instrument choice wasn't the best as midi sounds always on the uninteresting side so that's definetely somthing u could improve.

It does sound qutie piratey but as for the genre i think it'd fit better in the classical style as its not much of a video game loop. It doesn't loop too well either so amyeb you could work on that.

Overall, its decent effort and its looks like u put some work into it to say the least. keep up the good work.

well It is mostly classical I wasn't thinking video game when I wrote it, but I kinda felt that way to me :) like runescape or something idk

[Planet Caravan (Spacewarp Mix)]

Not a bad job!

Quite an interesting remix, you don't have particularly exciting vocals though... ;P.

It wasn't bad as the vocals were slightly more distinct then the original and the instrumental melody in the background (although it got quite repetitive) used mroe isntruments then the original so it was better.

Overall, i think u desreve an eight for effort, idea and overall decent music.

[Aleos]

Very spoooooooky! Kinda ;)

Well, the bell set off the mood well and the slightly discordant piano really put up the picture of a haunted mansion. It definetely looks like u put a lot f thought into this even if it did tend to get slightly repetitive in some parts particularly as u didn't add a lot of alternate melodies especially with the piano.

I lik,ed the outro and intro even if the outro didn't exaclty smoothly blend into the itnro which is what's necessary in a loop.

Overall, its a good piece of music, very spooky and great concept. I can already imagine this in a deep underground level of a game with skeletons and other of the usual spooky stuff roaming around. Keep upt he good work!

[-Set In Motion-]

Like haggard mentioned, its generic...

...But still, its quite good. U put in a decent background and melody even though the instruments u used can be found ready on Fl Studio and can be heard in several songs around NG.

However, you put in good blend and there was a good drive towards the end. There were very little climaxes and you could've put in some more work on a heavier beat and a less repetitive background.

Overall, its a decent piece and well thought out. Not a bad effort, keep it up!

Unless everyone who owns FL studio is using z3ta+, my sounds used here are not FL studio ready sounds. Although, I guess it's impossible to have original sounds.

Thanks for the review.

[FL are you ready?]

A room for a lot of improvement...

It started off averagely and the piece was overall discordant and the harmony was way off. Its not much of a loop as the outro and intro arent smooth. They both cut off to abruptly.

Overall, there's a lot of room for imrpvement and i know ur still learning and all but this could be much better...

[(CHS) Do Not Resist!!!]

Not a bad piece!

Its not particularly varied and it did tend to get slightly repeptive after a while but u used several different instruments and set off the mood quite well. The beat was slightly weak and inaudible so maybe you could make the strong beats a bit louder.

U used a good blend of instruments and did an overall good job. You could work a bit mroe on ur outro as its a bit too abrupt.

Overall, its a great piece. Keep it up!

I'll do my best to kick up the bass in future songs that way you can feel the hit. I that you are right about that though and I will make sure to fix that next time. Thanks bro for the feedback, it was much appreciated.

[My Heart Is For You }{Alix1}{]

So emotional...

It definetely portrays the feelings you wanted to set out. It imiiedetely has a mournful air and seeing as the style is similar to that of the Romantic Period, it looks like you chose a good idea to start with.

You used varied melodies in mroe parts and the heavy chords set it off well although in some parts these overwhelmed the main melody quite a bit.

Overall, you did a very good job on this, you almost got a ten XD. Just keep up the good work and ull be getting tens in no time...

Yay! Thanks for this dude! :)

[Gunnin' For a Knife Fight]

Not bad...

This isn't such a bad piece. There was some slight static at the beginning. You started it off with a cool bass instrument. what i ddin't particularly like was the glitch in the main part but seeing as i'm not a fan of glitch i could be little baised.

However, it di ten to get repetitive after a while so maybe you could work on some more variety.

Overall, its a good song and with some more work could improve a great deal.

[Piano_Force 2 [Box-Killa]]

MY GAWD! That's brilliant!

This is such a cool piece of music. It sounds mischievous and cheeky at the beginning adn then it moves on to dark and spooky. It makes me imagine a cheeky kid getting lost in the woods and being chased by all the night creatures.

Even for a piano only song thsi is great. Nice work.

Overall, it looks like u put a hell of a lot of work into it so u deserve my ten.
