popraz's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Screamu]

Original

Definetly originality is at the top of the list of qualities for this song. The mixing is quite clever, and the use of percussions is interesting to say the least. Twisted melodies and kick-ass beats, plus those freaky voice effects and the screams make me say this is one hell of a good song ! Congratulations !

Cryptowen responds:

Thanks! I've been thinking of doing an extended mix & using it as a single to promote my second album (which I'll probably be making next summer).

[Sapphire Tears]

Very Good

The melody and flow are great, the synths are well mixed on the track, with a minor complaint that the beat is a bit buried under all those synths. Other than that, it's a great effort ! The first minute is spectacular !

merlin responds:

Wow! thanks for the compliment, I'll definitely consider re-eqing it to give every instrument a fair chance at your ears.

[Phasing Action]

Really good

Vibrant, richly textured, a good, solid trance track ! Great sound mixing and awesome beat. Loved it !

TheRealAcren responds:

Thanks, great to hear everyone's reviews.

[Element of Dance - F-777]

Sloppy ?! Where ?

Seriously ! This is awesome stuff ! The melody is awesome, the synth mixing is great, though I must confess I don't really understand why the volume has to fade a little in places. Everything fits in perfectly in all the right places. This is a really great dance song !

F-777 responds:

Thanks =D! I have the cut off automations just cause the kind of dancing i had in my head could use those areas for certain stress points =).

Thanks so much!

[Icarus - Above the Sea]

Excellent !

This is a beautiful song, there's not a single part of it I didn't enjoy. The synths are also well arranged and mixed into the track. The melody is beautifuly composed and I liked the seagulls and the ambiental sounds because I think they add to the overall vision. This is one of the best tracks on Newgrounds.

sorohanro responds:

thanx for review, very nice one :)

[Above Dome 16]

Good

This so reminded me of those 80's film scores for sci-fi's. Nice touch with the helicopter-like sound and overall a good use of synths. Good song !

Chaos-Eye responds:

80s sci-fi music is the best, like Escape From New York.
Thank you.

[T2: The Arcade Game (genesis)]

Sweet

A nice techno track, with a smooth groove and great sound quality. Good use of percussions and great techno synths. Great work !

Lighty158 responds:

Glad you like. This song was actually difficult for me to master. Thanks, again.

[Sweet Dreams(RequiemForADream)]

Awesome

Wow, this is really unique ! Excellent he way you merged the two songs together ! A powerfull and vibrant track that has instantly landed on my favourite list. Excellent work !

HappyHomicide responds:

Haha Thanks so much dude!

[Titanium Bullet]

Awesome

Awesome beat, great sounding synth work, overall good rythm, and very crisp sound. I loved it !

Mitrox responds:

thank-Q

[Novarri's Nightlights]

Very nice

I used to play on the demo version of FL too, but if you really want to make good music, you should try and find a full version. There's so much more that can be done on a track like this. The piano work is great, but I felt the techno bits needed a little more work to blend neatly into the track. Otherwise this is actually pretty good.

Novarri responds:

Hm, I thought you could do everything on the demo version, just you couldn't save the file as a .flp? Either way, I agree - and this song was originally not uploaded (I mean, I made it over a month ago!) except last night I felt like stickin' it up here. I think I originally intended to redo it, but it's not gonna happen. I want my next project to be completely new.

But I know what you mean, and being able to save works-in-progress really helps when you're going back to fill them out. And honestly, I think the piano bits need some work to blend into the track too :D
