PhilVille's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Melodic Drama]

Hilarious

XDD This made me laugh so hard. XD
It makes me think of some kinda poorly drawn crayon animation XD

SimonG responds:

Haha, it made us laugh too lol.

[K-Dm|Zajed - Harakiri]

Nicely done

This is Hot stuff I like it! All you need is to vary up the drums a bit and gimmie some more bass. I really like how you did this, great work dude.

5/5

K-Dm responds:

tru

thx for the review

[timid girl]

I wasn't sure what to expect.

But this is damn good, I like soundtracks like this. It really serves a place in any RPG game i'd play. I'm quite sure you have your theory down. Oddly enough it makes me feel good, cause i was feelin like shit. Great work I'm really impressed.

vibe-newgrounds responds:

Thanks, and cheer up! :)

[Damn Right!]

This is alot better...

Than most stuff i hear on this site, its usually all the same stuff over and over again haha

broove responds:

You can find some very good tunes aswell. Thanks.

[DjSc00p - Head Up(Final)]

Its pretty cool...

I like it it gets me hyped for a few mins, the transitions are great and your sense of ear is pretty good too. It would make good dance music in a club or somthing. I like the beat too i almost forgot to mention that.

I'm more into other types of music than this so I don't really like it as a genre. I like it because of your work.

DjSc00p responds:

I'm happy when ya say that you like this even though your not really fond of the genre lol. I'm glad that other people could enjoy this :D thanks for the review!!

[Rick Roll (8bit)]

hmm

i think if you used some different voices it would sound alot more 8-bit

pheel responds:

Fair enough :P
Maybe it's something I can work on n_n

Thanks for reviewing

[Big Bag Of Bastards]

I don't get it

Why the guy below say this was crap its pretty Awesome i like it ^_^

meltinjohn responds:

i suppose everyone has there own opinion though

[[Reign of the Empyre] (Raw)]

this ones fun

I like the Drums in this one alot more it cuts out too much but thats alright ^^

dj-KDUB responds:

thanks for the review

[[Reign of the Empyre] (techno)]

its cool

i like it but i wish the piano wasn't so heavy in the begining, and maybe some voice treatment on the piano would be a sweet deal ^_^

other than that its pretty cool...

dj-KDUB responds:

thank you sir

[Tetris Medley [Orchestral]]

Well by all means

I can't really classify this as being professional, from a theoretical standpoint your lacking in overall orchestration and voice against voice contrapuntal motion. you have certain voices doing things that wouldn't really be necessarily strong for the role that it plays within a full orchestra environment...
don't get me wrong its a wonderful arrangement and by all means provides that buzz that you get from hearing one of your favorite pieces.

you have to make sure than when you state a certain chord that you follow through with that chord by making sure that you add all chord members when needed and nothing more. like in the lower voices of the piece you are emphasizing and completely different chord with a single note and it creates this awkward dissonance that makes me feel rather uncomfortable. when you have an instrument solo you have to make sure that no other instruments are interfering with its direction (i.e poor melodic support , improper harmonization, and vocal conversation between the solo and the backup instrument)

honestly i would say that this would make a stronger case if it were of a different genre. but thats only because certain parts reflect pure orchestral scoring and most other times not so much.

i apologize if i seem harsh or abrasive, I just cannot send your way with a pat on the back. haha! i just noticed that you were concerned about being professional. with that information i have to provide something that way you can get to your goal of being pro (i'm not saying that my way is the only way or the best cause its not by all means) i just wanted to plant a little seed of contemplation and you have my full support as a veiwer. Great work ^_^

what program did you use to get that sound quality?

BowserThedestructive responds:

good old FL studio 8 see when i make these i output to full 32-bit float wav tracks then i resync the exact lengthed files which contain each set of instruments [layered] n stuff inside sony vegas 8 and then output that out to the mp3 You hear
and of course theres mastering which i work on i do a global "master" channel reverb relating to what i want be it glaceverb and garritans ambience this is made up of mostly Garritans personal orchestra instruments though at times i use hypersonic 2 and thats what i meant by being a pro mostly :) i am able to make the sound quality very good although motionally i cant really do it like a 20 year old proffesionaly orchestrator being what i do is simple i still think it sounds pretty good :)
