Irish-Soul's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Epic Sax Guy- Epic Orchestral Remake (Sunstroke Project- Run Away)]

Hey, this is pretty good! You took an epic song and made it more epic than it was before. I especially like the work you've done on the strings, making them sound extremely organic.

I don't think the BPM worked in favor of the saxophone VST you used for this song. I'd recommend either tailoring the track to the vsts you have (maybe by increasing the tempo or having a section where the saxophone can be quick) or finding a VST that can handle slower note lengths (like the sensual saxophone by embertone).

Overall though this is very epic and was a fun track to listen to.

CelestialChaos responds:

Thank you so much for the review! I agree with you thoughts on the sax VST completely, unfortunately that was the best one I could find. I actually had the tempo slower originally, and picked it up a little to try to make the sax sound less fake

[AIM 21 - Lighthouse]

Wow! I love how you embraced the 8 bit nature of the art in your music! It really sounds like it belongs in the space of that light house, which is cool. Your melody is super fun and I was drawn right in from the start. I also like the parts with the piano, it’s super calming!

There were a few moments when the bass was slightly overpowering and it made some harsh tones. I also think the bitcrush on the sound effects was a little much at times.

Either way, fantastic art and song! Great job :)

BaraAmann responds:

Hey ! thank you for feedback
Yep its look like the bass is taking a too much space a some point
and i wasn't sure about the crush too, anyway thanks for the feedback!

[Happy Silly Place.]

This is so calm! I like it :)

MassiveMarioLuigi700 responds:

Thanks dude!

[AIM - Ironhide]

Yo this is sick! That epic choir really adds a lot of UMPH into this track. I also really like your orchestration here.

Abendland responds:

Appreciate your feedback a lot! Thanks for sharing your thoughts, cheers, Chris

[Auston - Interstellar]

Dang, this is a great track man! Makes me really nostalgic for all the EDM I used to listen to like 5 years ago. Great job, this song was produced very well :)

AustonMusic responds:

Thank you! :)

[Zone Zone Act 2]

I can’t get enough of Aaron Long’s music! It’s always so good. He’s great at putting in small ear candy that makes the whole song just “work”

Aaron-Long responds:

aw thanks, that's really nice to hear!

[Caterwaul]

This track is so dynamic! So much is happening at once and I'm all here for it. Good stuff man!

UmValent responds:

Thank you man, really appreciate it! :D

[Pablo Escobar's Night]

I really how the opening of the song is in mono and the transition to stereo at 0:25. It opens the track up and helps with the vibe. This track feels like it would belong on one of those lo-fi youtube livestreams. The mix is super clean and I really respect it man.

If I had to give any recommendations/ feedback I'd say that I think this track could use something more atmospheric to juxtapose the beat. It doesn't need to be too loud, but having a pad in the background would really add volume to the second half of this track. However, that is a small thing and it doesn't detract from my score :)

5/5

TomWillson responds:

Thank you so much for taking the time to send this! I really appreciate your for time to listen to my music. It's very important for me...it's motivate me to do more and become better every day.
Hugs and peace ;)
