HeartOfTheStorm's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bataille Royale EXTEND]

Pan. Did you try this with headphones? It's a pain to have the song almost entirely in my left ear. Let me know if you fix it. The music is very nice though, loops well, has energy, and has great variety.

Troisnyx responds:

The entire song was done with headphones, yes, but I was following what I knew to be standard at the time: the piano was to be slightly off centre, to the left, as you would normally hear in an orchestra. Now that it's the main part, I'm assuming centre?

I won't be able to fix it until later this month because of headset troubles (I'm literally brought to a standstill with sequencing). And might I add, that's a bit uncharitable, taking away two whole stars for panning...

[Kr1z - Summer Ocean(Remix]

Nice! I guess the first 2 mins of this have been released before, they're pretty familiar. Speaking of old completed songs, what about releasing "I want things to get better"?

Mrmilkcarton responds:

Hmmm.... I'll think about it. It has been finished and was supposed to be released like a year ago but never got around to it.

[Night Time in the Field]

Your chiptunes are always so king-sized, with a ton of variation and activity!

ElectroHarbour responds:

Thanks

[Altered Perception]

Whoooaaah! What a beautiful pulsating track! Thanks greatly for the free download. A nice healthy 6/5 in my eyes.

Xorberax responds:

Thanks dude!

[Kreacher (WIP)]

Pretty sweet so far, love the Crysis "cloak engaged". It's hard to tell what you need, but at the moment I think that echoing grungy wub stuff need to progress throughout the song.

YakovlevArt responds:

Yeah I love that sample too XD
I want to make that reese work more throughout the track but I don;t want it to be the center of attention.

[Food of Love {durn}]

If music is the food of love, what food would you compare this song to? I'd say Jell-o, it bounces, it's bright, but the melody is a bit too uninteresting, sure it tastes strongly of lime, but that's it, no deviation. A melody synth that blares the same three notes for the whole song.

durn responds:

Aye, that's where the vocal were supposed to come in. This is very much a supporting track, it's missing the wailing & soulful lead vocals that'd make it tropical punch jell-o. ;) Thank you for the critical review, Heart. :)

[New Friends]

I dig the atmospheric piano, the dynamic range, the chillness. I'll agree with LizzyB that it needs some more spice and refinement. I really do like it though, thankyou!

YakovlevArt responds:

Ah alright, I guess ya'll mean like more layers and such. I think I get what you mean, but it makes me happy that you guys still liked it to this point.
Thank you too=]

[~When Light Shone Through]

What? I can't listen to a better version of "When light Shone Through" just cuz some dude claimed your work as his own? Do you think you might be overreacting? It's not that I'm dying to listen to your music, just don't understand why you'd make us all miss out.

DjClyme responds:

well, I'm trying to get a copyright on this song and i dont want the fact that this is on newgrounds to interfer with that. Once i get the copyright i will be re-releasing it.

[Splintered Dreams V2]

Nice and intense! DL for sure! I noticed some melody from the song Palladioat 1:57.I didn't bother to see if any anyone else in the comments recognized it, they're all so darn long.

sumguy720 responds:

Sweet! Yeah I think I got that from Palladio but I had no idea what/when/where. Thanks for telling me the name! I was just like "where did I hear this? why does it fit so well here?"
