Phyrnna's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Starchasers AIM 2014]

Audio Inspired Music Review
A very ambient piece that sounds like a backing track to a game. The sounds are interesting, however held out for so long it does begin to bore the listener a bit. I think if you added little melodic parts in there, it would certainly have helped.
That said, I don't think there was enough contrast between the parts when compared to the original image.

[Magnitude (NG Cut)]

Long time no see!

It's good to hear from you again! A pretty solid trance track here, although as pointed out before it's a bit repetitive. Then again this is trance so I think it's okay, maybe I guess it depends on the audience type and where they're listening from. Hence radio cuts and all that. xD

Keep making music and don't stop! :D

~Phyrnna ^_^

Mich responds:

Hey there, likewise!

I think most of the relative repetitiveness may be due to the cutting I did; there were sections I couldn't truncate because there was slow automation going on (as mentioned below I just sliced up the master export), so those portions are relatively long.

I make music when I get around to it, don't think I'll ever come to a point where I'll say "I stop.".

Thanks for the review!

[Moonlight Sonata (Cover)]

Well done! A few mistakes here and there, but hey! You got one song that you can play that I can't! xD

Back-From-Purgatory responds:

Huzzah! Better than Phyrnny!

[O Come O Come Emmanuel]

As usual, your voice is amazing!

Merry Christmas, and I wish the best to you!

~Phyrnna ^_^ <3

[In Anticipation]

Happy Holidays to you too! :D
I don't know if I have anything to say that hasn't been expressed by the folks before me, so I'm going to use this space to wish you the best this holiday season!
We should catch up sometime! :3
Cheers~!

~Phyrnna ^_^

Troisnyx responds:

We certainly should! I wonder how.... O_O
You have a good Christmastide, if by that time I'm not able to give wishes out. x

[8-bit Showdown]

FIRST! :D

EliteFerrex responds:

You're ALWAYS first in my book. (^-^)b

[A Medieval Theme]

Y'know, ever since I decided to check out your tracks, I've certainly not regretted it once. You have excellent music and talent and I thoroughly enjoy listening to your tracks! This one is no exception! I think your client will be well pleased. ^.^

Keep it up! :D

steampianist responds:

Thank you so much and im glad I did not disappoint hehe

[Automation]

Whoo! This is quite excellent I must say! :D

I like your use of sound effects to create a great atmosphere for your music. The non-musical elements of your music which in turn completes the music! Soemthing that I need to work on personally. >.>;

Great track that conveys great imagery!

Step responds:

Yay, thank you :3. Non-musical elements are really helpful to beef up your music, I find; I use them in loads of different songs of mine.

Glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the review!

[Ode to the Reader]

So your post about your own hotshits made me curious as to why you thought you were so awesome.

And I'd say you were quite justified in being confident about your own track!

This is quite an excellent track with wonderful dynamics! The transition is one of the best around, and it's excellently well done! Now I need to find me a foghorn to use! xD
I like the good mix you had there of orchestral and electronic. The percussion was also pretty excellent and sweet. :3

I wish you the best in the competition!

[A Long Way Home]

Y'know, I'll be absolutely honest, you had me scared that I'd lose to you!

Impressive track and the vocals are very good! BlazingDragon did a good job with the piano too!
Mixing could use a little work in my opinion especially since you're stuck with soundfonts. I used to use only soundfonts too, so I know it takes a bit. Although if you want I can always send some tips and tricks your way! :D Don't worry about not having EW, it's the skill not the tool that counts. I still use soundfonts. ;)
If there's one thing about the track that I'd like to hear more of are the vocals actually. It feels like a vocal prelude followed by instrumentals, but it would have been nice to have heard a return of the vocals. Just my personal preference though.
Regardless of the outcome of the judging, I'll say that your track is amazing no matter what they say. I'm honored to have been matched up against you, and you've definitely earned yourself a new listener! ^.^
Keep at it!

etherealwinds responds:

I practically had that feeling when I first listened to yours. As soon as the Uillean pipes came in I thought to myself "yeah I'm screwed". Who doesn't love an epic Celtic track? You certainly pulled it off amazingly and it's also an honour for me to have been matched up against you. If I don't make it this round, it doesn't matter because I had a lot of fun!

The reason I chose only to include only one dominant part of vocals is due to some of the judge reviews on Blind Maiden, my round 1 entry. It was very much dominated by a full vocal part the whole way through. Don't get me wrong, it did surprisingly well o_o but I decided for this piece I should have a larger focus on the instrumental side of it.

Thank you and all the best to you! Best of luck as well, although I don't think you'll need it =^o^=
