Phyrnna's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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!

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

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!

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!

[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

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!

[Fox-trot Fletcher]

So I'm trying to blast my way through listening to all of these AIM submissions, but sir I felt compelled to stop for a moment to leave you a review letting you know how much your submissions are like a blast of fresh compressed air in a sauna. Funky, fresh, and thoroughly enjoyable!

Seriously... you make me feel noob. >.> Get a job with Disney already. xD

steampianist responds:

thank you

and awww c'mon now.. youre no noob

Audio Inspired Music Review

Firstly, this is a thoroughly entertaining track on its own! The groove is great and it's funky spunk is wonderful! It definitely fits the art well and I think you did an excellent job.
One thing I do want to point out is that it does need a section with contrast to the main theme. That would make it more awesome!
Keep it up!

DuttonsaysHi responds:

Hey thanks! Yeah good idea! It seems the main issue was the lack of segments that could prevent repetition. Thanks again for the review!

Audio Inspired Music Review

I think this piece certainly is quite fitting to the art that it accompanies. I like the mixture of genres, and your addition of blues certainly fits the image well. The vox samples are nice and fitting too. A few of the transitions feel kind of rough, like the one at 1:26.
Overall a good piece and well fitting. :)

YouriX responds:

Aaah thank you so much for the lovely review. :D
Glad you liked my song. <3

[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!
