PhilVille's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Baked Beans]

haha

haha wow thats really good i like i like the how you keep it so full the whole time ^__^

[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

meltinjohn responds:

thanks for the review PhilVille !

i suppose everyone has there own opinion though

[Soft Jazz jam]

hmm...the drums

It was pretty cool up until the drums came in the way they did. acctually the drums kinda throw the whole feel for me... but your chords are pretty sweet, the progressions struck me as kinda odd in a few spots but your pretty awesome ^_^ great work
its just the drums that put me off,nthey need more variation too.

[[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

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Japan]

i just really enjoy your work

your so amazin haha! every time i see your name i'm like its already epic XD
5/5 everyday!

[Bass Boost]

Please don't do that

Your equalizer settings are very speaker destructive and can be seen as malicious.

the sound that you had was interesting but the settings prevent me from wanting to listen further that the first 5 seconds

[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 :)
