Xenophaje's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crash (Metroid Prime)]

I love metroid

Being a fan of the Metroid Prime series I had to hear this.
It's very good, Much better then the actual theme of that crashed frigate.
Its got a slightly different feel then the original. It sounds more street like, but I definitely here the wondrous rhythms of metroid in this.
The ending - was it suppose to give a sudden shift in feeling like a fade to black moment of doom type thing? It seems like it

Kloudtana responds:

I'm not exactly sure what i was going for, at the end, honestly. I just love making crazy noises and making them fit into songs

Thanks a lot for your review :D

[EPSSounds- Distant]

I'd like to be able to make music like this

I wish my music sounded more like this. Its robotic yet has a cosmic kinda feel at the same time.
I don't that this is video game music, it sounds more like techno to me.
You didn't happen to make this in FL Studio did you?

EPSSounds responds:

haha, I was thinking it could be for like a racing or chase scene in a game xD
But yea this is all in FL Studio, I don't buy any stuff I just use the basics of what FL 10 gives. My arp and pad sounds are 3xOsc's and my bass is a SimSynth. Kicks Hats and Snare are just EQ tweeked but they are basically what it gives you when you first start up FL Studio. :)

Thanks for the comment ^_^

"thinks" ~hmmmm...techno~

[Blue Mars]

That robot voice

You used FL Studio to make this didn't you?
The robotic voices sound like those of the speech synthesizer in FL Studio.
Those same voices are kinda just random, but the music itself is good.
"Stop... I-Want-you-to-electrify-this-shit"
I chuckled a little, and the transition was good.
But to be honest the voice sometimes eluded me to believe this is composed of different rhythmic ideas.

[Dark Gen]

Awsome

The song is almost.
Kind of an evil, robotic ,futuristic type of feel.
You wrote this song in the dark, I wouldn't think of the dark as being capable of inspiring something like this. I guess it just gave you ideas then? Its very well made, but the ending came so suddenly - it just dropped. It makes it feel unfinished but that's just my opinion. It's your music do whatever with it.

[Regrets *Icybeats*]

Hmm... its pretty good

First of all this belongs in a game, Background music to an adventure game of sorts thats what I think.
the barbaric sounding thuds give it, A tension the suggests a journey.
You know It sounds music from a Zelda game now that I think about it.

[Bear VS Jaguar]

Nicely done

Your good at sound effects
How did you do that bit at 00:23
It sounds 95% Real

TomStheVoice responds:

Thanks! I actually mixed two sounds. One of me with a rough grunt at the beginning. The second of me making the bear roar that follows through.

[The Imperial Cross Dresser]

lol

I want to see this in a flash no... I HAVE to see this in a flash

[Kpheeyat's Voice Acting Demo]

Clever and well done

If your as good an actor as a voice actor, you should be on SNL.
Your robot voice is good.
I have a challenge for you...
can you talk like the emperor from star wars? I mean EXACTLY like him. I can

Kpheeyat responds:

Challenge accepted.

[SH - Circle]

Its very jolly and catchy... cool

I usually don't like giving hip hop a listen but I just heard this while in the audio portal and instantly liked it. Its Upbeat and snazzy, if I come across more hip hop in the future I'd probably like stuff like this.
The use of the voices as rhythm was brilliantly done, that is in general a rare quality I look for in music.

shaggyhaired responds:

Always glad to hear that.

[Digital Landslide]

Cool

Very Tense and filled with vigor. Would be great in a game as boss music.
It would have been a better idea to call this a video game song I think.
The rhythm has got a warping, evil sounding flux to it, which is good.
Right towards the end you kind of lost me. I think it would have been a way better Idea to make it loop but thats me, its your song.

MadMath responds:

Yeah you are right, now that you say so, I realize it definitely sounds like a video game music... I'm gonna make an edit and change the category.
About the end... It was the best part for me, but I can understand it's a bit different than the rest.

Thanks for the review.
I'll leave it as a song, but if someone wanna use it as a "boss music" for example (you gave me the idea :D, and I'd love to !), I can make it as a loop.
