Phyrnna's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[From the City]

So yeah... as usual I love your tracks. This one has a nice gritty feel while having that usual hop and bounce from you!
Makes me feel wonderful and yet wholly inadequate as a musician. xD
Keep it up! :D

~Phyrnna ^_^

[Tune of Tempests]

Well then... I have to say this sounds just as I would expect an official version to sound like. :O I think you should send this to Nintendo!
Well done overall with the instrumentation and the mix... I can definitely hear the time and effort put into it.
Keep it up!

~Phyrnna ^_^

Step responds:

Thanks for dropping by! I don't think I'm anywhere close to the quality of the composers Nintendo employs but I'm flattered by the comparison.

Really glad you enjoyed this one, and thanks again!

Nice tags btw. I should probably be more creative with my own tags. xD
I think all the previous reviews have said loads about how good this track is so.... I'm here to also say that I really enjoy this track! :P Certainly has that Waterflame charm that NG knows and loves. xD
Keep up the awesome!

[The Dreaming (Piano Remix)]

Really nice song you got here! :D I really like it. :3 I haven't heard the original, but I think I'll definitely go check it out.
Only thing I can say about it is there's a little mixing issue which causes a little distortion near your mid frequencies. Not sure what's exactly causing it, although might be an effect plugin? It first pops up at 00:23 - 00:38 and later on in the song at around the 1:50 mark.
Keep it up! Looking forward to more from you!

balderdact responds:

Thanks a lot!! Do you have really nice headphones or something because I can't hear any distortion from my end :O

[Madness Combat: Intonation]

Pretty good!
Can't say it stands out as anything original, but it was certainly enjoyable! Mixing sounds solid and compositions not bad. :)
Keep it up!

[Voluto]

Repetition isn't a bad thing in music, it's just a matter of how you break up the repetition and make it interesting. I think you've done an okay job at that, although I think that past the halfway point it does need something fresh. Perhaps you could try bringing in a new instrument, a new melody/counter melody, or just switch it to an entire different set of instruments for the hell of it.
Mixing sounds good, although at some parts it sounded a bit overcompressed to me. That said, I work mostly with orchestral so it's probably just a preference thing to me.
Good job so far! Keep it up!
I wish you the best with the competition!

~Phyrnna ^_^

AeronMusic responds:

Yeah. It is a bit overcompressed but I like that. I could have add more instruments but I did not had the time for it. Many thanks for your kind review!

[{!RGH} Seven2 - Scratch]

I like your sounds and your style that you have here. There are a few mixing issues I could hear in terms of compression but the biggest issue that I have with this track is that all you have is one theme and variations upon that theme. It would be nice to have heard a second theme at least.
Not bad still, keep it up!

~Phyrnna ^_^

RyeGuyHead responds:

One of the side effects of using a loop pedal is the inherit lack of variation. It is a great platform to experiment with some ideas, however.

Glad you liked it!

[The Concert]

This is very enjoyable to listen to! As you've probably heard from everyone else before me, but the beginning is a nice touch to it all. The piano composition is admirable, and it makes me feel rather intimidated by how good you are at it. :P
Keep it up! I wish you the best for the competition!
*joins the audience in the clapping*

~Phyrnna ^_^

SoundChris responds:

Thanks HFX :D Glad you enjoyed my little concert experience! Piano always was my main instrument and until i was 16 (already 16 years ago ... omg) or something i wanted to study piano, conduction and composition ... maybe that is the reason why i try to care a lot for the pianos details :)

Thanks for your support and your clapping - highly appreciated!

All the best,
Chris

[Fall of an Hero]

Not bad!
You've got pretty nice theme and variation here and it was enjoyable. I would say that it is limited by only having one theme though, and I think if you expanded the song to have a secondary theme it would be quite enriching.
Keep it up!

~Phyrnna ^_^

P.S. Scouted you btw!

gordonshadow responds:

Tanks, I'm improving, but i use the free version of the program, so I'm limited, for the moment.
PS: Try to listen to the full history (starting from peacefull kingdom to fall of an hero)
Im working on anotter group of songs. Cya

[~SW~ Float]

Had to take a pause in my judging to leave you this -> A BIG THUMBS UP.

If only we could post images in reviews.... no wait that'd be a bad thing.

Anyways, I could say tons more but seriously, very well done!

SkyeWint responds:

Thanks! I gotta know, though...

What is this "tons more" you're talking about? I'd love to know how I can improve. Like, what I did right, what I did wrong, ideas you have to make the piece better, etc. It would be awesome if you could shoot me a PM with that "tons more" at some point, now I'm curious!
