HeartOfTheStorm's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[UntitledGlitch.mp3]

Swag. You could call it Time Lapse. That title would go well with any glitch song. I really like ALL your stuff I've listened to so far, which I can't say about anyone else here on NG

InvisibleObserver responds:

I may just edit it to play up a time lapsey feel and call it that for the sake of putting titling to rest.

[AuruxBlu - Cloud City]

The sound quality at the beginning is pretty darn scratchy and overpowering/annoying. The soundcloud version sounds slightly better, but i dunno... the scratchyness degrades it. Hard to say. If I heard it with lower volume or background noise it'd be solid static, which is what you don't want.

AuruxBlu responds:

I forgot to mention that I only mixed this preview on moniters. My last set of head phones broke and I haven't bought another pair since. Thanks for the honest input, I wouldn't have noticed it other wise. Hopefully I will buy another pair soon...

[AuruxBlu - Monument (FL Core)]

Finished?

It's great background music for a building moment in something where there might be dialogue. Does it feel like some trance I'd often enjoy listening to? Almost, but not quite. If you want something more impressive, I can only offer that you could break away from that monotone synth at points, reach a climax, break it down, change the pace and/or stretch the wings with some ridiculous transition. That's only if this isn't finished.

AuruxBlu responds:

There was a lot more I wanted to do but I didn't want to keep on working on it cause I was afraid I would keep on editing. Though, it has been bugging me to finish it. I have been experimenting with monotone sounds and subtractive synthesis lately and wanted to take the opportunity to do something awesome in this song. Thanks for the feedback.

[Teratai]

AHAHAHA! *grinning*

Nothing like a dream come true! Well, I might be dramatizing, but it feels so right man! Throbby, open, passionate. I looked up teratai in the dictionary.com, all I got was teratoid: of, resembling, or being a teratoma teratoid tumor. Lol that's not what you were going for was it?

Anti-Citizen responds:

No... No i definitely wasn't going for that. :P Teratai is Malaysian/Indonesian for Lotus. Because i secretly stole a quite distinctive sound from flying lotus. Listen to his stuff and eventually you'll find it. ^__^ Glad you like it. Thx for the review. :D

[Antiskill- Caribbean Sand]

Neeeeeeeeds one thing

It 100% needs a soundscape. Ambient noises like waves, seagulls, everything you might hear on a Caribbean shore. You need to stretch this into 3 dimensions! make me feel at home soaking up the warmth of the sand!

For example, I heard a harmonica song, which would be very plain, except there was wisps of wind, echo effects, wind in the trees, a small crowd conversing, and the occasional dog bark. It put me on a sidewalk walking past someone busking in a bright white city. The noise coalesced wth my reality.

Dream dimensionally.

YakovlevArt responds:

Yeah, I know exactly what you mean.
I'll try to put in in my next track, if I make it like this one.
Thanks for the comments =]
Much appreciated.

[Angelic Euphoria]

Dude, what the heck

You have the drummy intro to make it usable in the club, and it goes quiet for HOW many seconds? All the patrons will be like "what's up?" I'm sounding mean, but what sprung into your head to give a 3 minute Uno break just to build it? Don't get down, just laugh at the ravers looking at each other awkwardly or leaving the club. As for the Non-build, I'd give it a 9.5. I hope you realize I'm only shredding this because you seemed convinced it would work to liven a crowd publicly. I'm not asking you to make a typical rave song, they suck. That misunderstanding only really deserves a 0.5 reduction, because it has nothing to do with music skill. ANYWAY, good job.

syphonmax responds:

Holy shit, you know I was so tired at the time I was completing this song I didn't even notice that rather odd silent moment! O_o

No worries, I shall get that fixed asap. Thanks for the heads up! (:

And since this is an Uplifting Trance song, not a Rave song (don't necessarily like them) it's all about the build up and climax that puts you into what you could call a "State of Trance". Just listen to songs such as:

Andy Blueman - Neverland
Andy Blueman - Sea Tides
Daniel Kandi - Liberate

Just to get what I mean. I'm not into that typical rave and dance song thing, I used to produce quite a lot of them, until I got completely sick and tired of it, so I'm just widening my skills and playing around with different genres (now, being Trance). I'll probably be producing a completely different genre of music by the end of the year.

[NSP - Unattainable(Extended)]

Fancy pants

You ever play fancy pants? this sounds a lot like that music. happy, piano, organ, drums. Go play it if you haven't. It's on NG.
Pretty outstanding music! No complaints, it feels right. Aesthetic satisfaction.

BobMarleyClock responds:

Haven't played it yet, but I'll definitely give it a try. Thanks for the compliments.

[DJ~Clyme-Dream Come True]

Ditto

I might be sheltered, but I've never heard a good dance remix of classical music, other than this of course. You are doing what I totally want to do, offer the world an escape from all the hurt that's so familiar. Just a few minutes if it makes a difference. Thanx!

DjClyme responds:

:D I'm glad you liked it! i put a lot of work into this, and its nice to know that it has paid off. :)
