TheCon-Sept's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[La boite de Pandore (Demo)]

I like the sounds. but what else are you going to put into the portal? I'd like to hear more from ya.

Zipark responds:

Thanks. Maybe in a few days i will post others pieces. I work on a electro rock songs for a few months , so it will be probably the next. And some others orchestral after.

[Inside Out]

Keep making music. You have a great idea here and I believe your talent is going to keep evolving. Never give up on your talent.

Eventually you will get to where I am. Making some very interesting songs.

Your song here makes musical sense. But I would say maybe you ought to try a different DaW (Digital Audio Workstation.)

Learn it and make the move to creating a masterpiece that no one else will be able to touch.

Pick a DaW and stick with it. FL Studio, Reason, Acid Pro, Ableton Live, Pro Sessions.

All of those listed above are the names of DaW's. Each one has its own learning curve. Just pick one and stick with it. Learning the ins and outs of the entire program.

I would seriously consider getting a demo of the DaW before obtaining one to make sure it is the one you want to use.

But keep making music nonetheless.

LachlanInc responds:

I actually prefer using music notation software to make music, rather than Digital Audio Workstations. Also, I use a Mac, so I can't use most of those recommendations, and Ableton was too confusing.

[Paisley]

With a little bit of work on this track you could make it sound miles better. My complaint is that it sounds flat. Not boring, not too cluttered. just flat. Let your track breathe a little. I'd say so far this track is good. It just needs some really good post work to really bring out the idea behind this track. Nonetheless it is something different and I like it.

[The Road]

Great start. Get yourself some sample packs. Show us what you can mix without the stock samples!

EdKempeper responds:

Thank you for your review !
I don't understand what you mean by "stock samples"... For this one, I used synthesizers that were given to me by a friend, not the FL9 synthesizers. I only used one Fl drumkit for the hi-hats and one sample for the horrible percussion

[Foggy Streets]

I don't feel like I am walking in a foggy street. I feel like I am actually traveling through a forest at night with no fog at all until the end. BUT nonetheless I enjoyed this track.

LawnReality responds:

Sorry the name doesn't work for you! Glad you enjoyed it anyway. :)

[Sunday Afternoon Drive]

Definitely liked the vibe from this track being a bit trip hop like.

Keep it up. Eventually some hip hop rapper might come your way.

[Septette for the Dead Princess 14.9 million notes!]

Give this track some breath. I kind of feel like the piano is chocking me to death and trying to figure out why it cannot kill me.

Breath. The piano trills are awesome. But my goodness.... BREATH. Let it BREATHE.

[Taos]

Finally something different on NG... and sounds completely authentic with the guitar. Is this you actually playing the guitar? I wouldn't care if it was bought samples but.... It definitely struck a chord with me.

If it is you playing the guitar KEEP PLAYING!

Bitbeak responds:

Thanks for the positive comment :)

And yeah, the guitar work is all me. I shall keep playing but only because you asked so nicely.

[scream]

I like the drum set. But it could have a bit more excitement in it. The melody is fine but the harmony sort of throws it off immediately into like honky tonk.

Then the end has me confused. Maybe you ought to try a DnB track wit dis.

Make it so you want to "F"N Scream already!" AGH THIS IS A BORE! And I think I heard you SNORE!"

Dunno thought I'd throw it out there.

Tarteviant responds:

true :/ thanks :3

[P.A.I.N]

I like the idea behind this track. I feel like I am trying to do something in a foreign landscape but I can't figure out what this puzzle is telling me to do. I like the build up to the middle but... that high register sound is just not right for me. I want to love this song but I can't get over that high register sounding bassline. I know there is an underlying bass track but that high register sound just doesn't sound like it fits. Maybe knocking it down a an octave should help it. But... I think it needs more done to that synth. Maybe scratch it up or make it sound more throat like. This is just a bit of criticism.
