Kor-Rune's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Murder]

Interesting!

The grinding high pitched razor sharp waveform kind of hurts, but the Youtube fights are an interesting choice of instrument. The rhythms you made with the crowd are awesome, and the drums are groovy. Pretty cool c:

PIED3 responds:

Yeah i think i went a tad over the top with the high pitch stuff. Thanks for reviewing!

[Sky Guardian 2.0-Metaljon]

Sweet melodies

I love the harmonies, and the riffy/pretty 6/8 is such a great feel, and the later riffage is intense. The leads are fucking sick as usual, specially round the end. damn you can play.

I might bring up the bass and rhythm guitars a teensy itty bitty more to punch with the kick drum, but the mix is still super sexy.

3:16 solo is ridiculous, fuuuck.

Thank you MJ

Metaljonus responds:

kor!!! ya this whole song is 6/8 I love that time sig. I'll be sure to bring up the rhythm guitars and bass a bit thanks for the tip! I need it!

[SHSI-Metaljonus]

Super tight and kickass

So incredible, sir. Meaty tones and fucking killer riffs, and a tight sound. Loving it

Metaljonus responds:

oh shit!!!! the fuck you been?? :( thanks for the review!

[Kor-Rune's]

Sweet licks!

Sexy reverbs on the solo tone, some smooth tapping too. C:

I'm eager to hear your blues track, Bad-Man!

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man, I wish I knew actual scales and shit. haha. The bluesy track isn't fantastic. it's just drums and a very simple base line..

Thanks again, dude. Your soloing is fucking fantastic. The backing track was wicked too. :)

[Eternal Retribution (?)]

More changes, sound and composition

It sounds kind of bleak for the first minute when it follows that progression and has the repetitive melody going. If it had vocals or a sort of lead instrument, it would justify repeating so much. This sounds more like it would belong in the background of a rock song instead of a straight solo piano piece, and doesn't really merit a lot for listening value.

Also, it sounds like you're using Edirol's piano? That can be a beautiful piano sound if you just change up a bunch of velocities. Right now it just sounds like everything's at one level, and when everything is peaking, it reminds me of a Dragonforce song. Also, the ideas in this seem separated from each other, and it makes it kind of sound like a sandbox at the transitions.

I'd delve into jazz and classical if you were really wanting to create really beautiful and unique pieces!

Pure-Metal-UTA responds:

I actually agree to all of this, this wasn't my best pieces even though it took me a week to write. I personally like Memories of the Stars better.
And yes, I did use Edirol's piano, i actually really like it (Edirol's piano, just to clear that up). Now that I have a midi cable, i'll probably make alot of adjustments to this song, and record it with my electric piano.
Thanks for the review!

[~|| Never Ending Dream]

Woah, this is new!

I really like this. There's not a lot of electronic music on NG that isn't a straight quarter kick and a tired old progression done before.

This is new and fun! I love all the melodies and hooks, etc. Keep making more!

5/5

T-Free responds:

Thanks for the review, of course I'll keep making more! :P

[The Survivor [Orch.]]

The ODST menu music IS magical

And so is this!

It has that isolated feel. I like the ambient percussion and misc stuff thrown around. Great tones and excellent phrasing! Your chordal transitions are beautiful.

Zero123Music responds:

[Zhoxu-Metaljonus]

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks mang I love you in a non gay way. \m/

[NRS-Metaljonus]

Mmmm, the intro

SO LOVELY.

The drums kick in and I orgasuum. The chords and the melodiesover the diminisheds and whatevers are so pretty. GOD AND THEN THE SHRED.

Your solos and phrasing and tone is just magical. The break at 3:20 makes me wish I were you D: EPIC TRANSITION.

Still lovin the solos D: God this is jammin'. The return to the theme is majorly epic.

GOOD JOB MJ <3

Metaljonus responds:
