Marscael's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Death.spkh]

You have some nice effects in this one which is pretty cool. I really liked the ominous ambiance at 1:16-1:38. And the distorted sound that comes in at 1:52.

But once again I'm finding some sounds to be much louder than the rest of the song and it can be hard on my ears. There's also about 20 seconds of silence at the end of the track for some reason.

That being said though, I really do like the beat you have here. You should make a track that has more like 1:16-1:38. your really good at that and it sounds really cool.

FantasistEldrun responds:

Thank you ! Yes, I found the beat too loud after publishing (?) if it's the beat that you're talking about,
The 20 seconds of silence at the end of the song are due to a LMMS export bug that calculates notes after the general volume came to 0 to never go up again, there was, in the export vision, other notes and tiny end silence.

I'll try to follow your advice, even when most of my music actually come from my inspiration without I have a precise goal in mind, but sometimes I get a goal and it's getting better when my inspiration is added to make it possible.

Anyway, thanks another time for your review :)

[Past or future]

Idk why but I was expecting someone to start rapping at 0:27. Anyway, I think the sounds used in this song are very nice and is why I rate 4 but; it's hard to hear each different sound. Maybe if some of them were a little quieter the track as a whole would sound a bit smoother.

I do think it's interesting, given how much is going on, that there doesn't seem to be any audio crackling. Well done.

FantasistEldrun responds:

Oh xD, maybe someday soon in the future, why not ? :)
Still my problem with mastering volume of the instruments... ATTEMPT AND ERROR/. CONTINUE/?

Well, for this, I just put the main volume down and use some effects that regulate it (more rarely)

[Jazzy D D Funk]

You should make this loop better cuz it honestly sounds like it would be great for some sort of upbeat project.

FantasistEldrun responds:

Yeah, I sorted it in a short way because I had difficulties to fix LMMS' fx bug , but I'll try to make it longer and re-upload it in a new file .

Anyway, thanks for the 5 stars !!! Glad I had one from you now :D

[syst3m ov3rl0ad]

God I love how all over the place this song is. My favorite kind of music. The way it jumps around in the middle part of the song especially. And I don't know what it is, but 2:00-2:38 reminds me of something.
The only criticism I have for this is the rumbling at the end. It's a little overwhelming but I don't think it should be removed, just tweaked if you know what I mean.
Also there's nothing wrong with a long song if it has a reason to be that way! I'm actually quite curious about what the extended version is like. If you still have it I'd love to hear it!
Also also, good on you for getting FL Studio! It's gonna be a big step. There's so much to learn on it. I got it recently and feel like I have no clue what I'm doing hahaha.

[Something Random IDK]

That was a pretty pleasant thing you made there. Would be really cool to hear an extended version of this.

[No logic. Just emotion.]

I think this song could use plenty more instruments as it felt quite empty. That being said, the beat is nice and simple. So I feel as though this track could be improved rather easily in some ways. Even if it's just to add some faint background noise to create some atmosphere.
Not bad. :)

FantasistEldrun responds:

Thank you ! I tried to make a piano music basically... And my inspiration were not at 100% , the goal were also to make it feel sad and melancholic... Well, maybe I shall try to get back to work on it ? :)

Anyway, thanks for your opinion !

[For those who cant see, those who cant talk, and (eventually) those who cant ear]

If it was shorter it honestly sounds like it would be a good opening track for something. The way it speeds up.
I like how you used some unique sounds for this project. Also, despite a lot of the instruments sounding rather... Intimidating? The song doesn't really give off a dark vibe. Which I find interesting.

FantasistEldrun responds:

Thanks for the review !

I have been working (in the sense of giving efforts) more on this track than usual, so I am happy you found this :)

And for the instruments, the goal were to make a DnB dark track (at the start) but then I just followed my intuition that told me that something more semi-atmospheric would be nice too. I am still myself disappointed by my own beginning here :/)

[Suffer]

So I actually really liked the beginning of the song. However the drums don't really fit very well imo but I can't figure out how to explain why. Otherwise though this is a decent spooky track. And I wish the beginning kept slowly growing in intensity.

FantasistEldrun responds:

Thank you for your comment ! Obviously I never really have been into spooky songs, so... I havnt been so inspired. Anyway, I see how to improve now !:)

[Dominate]

Ok so Dominate has some interesting sounds but it's kind of repetitive and nothing really blends in very well. But I do like the drums. You seem to be pretty good at that.

FantasistEldrun responds:

Thank you :)
Many said that I had a nice sense of rythm ; All I'd need is to find my own samples. But... How ? Thats my preoccupation right now

[Roller - Soon finished]

Well I liked that strange noise that happens at 1:40. Nice, casual song. I'll say maybe the first half of the song could use a very subtle synth or something like that to compliment the atmosphere of the second half of the song.

FantasistEldrun responds:

Thank you again :D

The goal was first to make a rap instrumental, but somehow it growed bigger and bigger... Now I dont really know what it is ^^'

I will try to work more on my songs from now
