Astrono's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Final Chronicle--_--(3:21)]

All the moods

Every time when i listen to this song it amazes and inspires me.
And when i listen to other Drum 'n' Bass song i 'm trying to do Drum 'n' Bass too, but back to the review.
It starts out with nice twinkle bells, then there comes a little bit agressivity and suspense in the song with the violins and the low strange bass you used, that's my favorite instrument of this song.
Then the drums are done good but the rhythm is a bit too much switching at the intro, i like the way you used all the other instruments through the other parts of the song and mood changes quite a bit everytime in this song.
This is a great song, and i can really see it used in a Flash submission, this almost reminds me of the kind of songs ParagonX9 makes.

I don't give only 10's and a 5/5 often.

Keep it up, you are a talented music artist!

PERVOK responds:

There are a few things I've fixed in a new version that is for my own personal listening pleasure.

1: I fixed the mastering on the drums/switched to higher quality *non-stock* samples.
2: I made the bass more abrasive and violent sounding, making it stand out more in the mix.
3: Transitions that were rough are now smoother than a baby's ass.

And... it's all flattering and all, but I hate being compared to Paragon :(

Thanks for the review.

[My Mind]

Nice

I like those bells you used, and the soft and nice synths.
Enough variety, and the harp is really nice too.

I haven't played Final Fantasy though so i can't say if this sounds exactly like the original song from Final Fantasy.

Good work, keep it up.

- Astrono Please, take a listen to my Audio if you'd like :)

Cosmos8942 responds:

Hmm...thought I did a decent job on this audio...oh well...guess I will just have to work harder on the next one...and maybe play around with FL Studio to see what sounds good.

When I actually get the time to go through your audio and write a decent review...I will...until then^^

[Analog Dreaminess]

Nice dreaminess

I can see why you choosed the title.
This song is really bright and cute in some way, like you have a beautiful romantic dream, or a baby dreaming. :)
I like all those tingle sounds you used, a really interesting song with enough variety in melody's and good instrument choice.
Only thing is that for me, some of your rhythms were a little bit out of balance, but then you fixed that again after a few seconds.

Good song.

triangleshower responds:

thanx a lot, but man, i'm gonna hafta name my next song aaaaa or something so this doesn't get all the reviews!

[OX~ Above the Clouds]

Good but still work on the rhythms

Look, now it gets better!
The voice at the intro was the best thing for this, i guess you tried to make a song for an airplane because if this was a, look at the sky song the voice wouldn't really fit it.
I really like the synths you put in this, and the voice is pretty good too.
The drumloop is good too and fits this song, i like the bleep sounds.
Good work, but i say again, try to work on the rhythms.

On-yX responds:

Thanks :) I've been waiting for a review on this song.

[OX - Tech Loop]

Good melody's, other things need a lot of work

This gets a bit boring, since you repeat the same melody too much.
Although it's a loop you can at least try to use two or three different melody's which sound good with eachother, and i hear pre-sets in this one again.
Good thing is the melody again, i really like the melody's you mixed through eachother in this one, but still, instruments.
Drums are good.

On-yX responds:

I thought it sounded amazing at the time, and I was oblivious to the fact its too short. I didn't know I could create my own sounds, and I could use the pattern thing.

[Ambience of Sound]

Hmm

Hmm, i don't really like the fact you used pre-sets for this.
But if this is your first little song i can understand it.
The first thing repeats too much, then the voice comes in.
And then the synth, which plays some melody's in too different rhythms, you have some good melody's in mind but in this song, (i still have to listen to your others) you have too much problems with making the good rhythms.
Needs work, but i heard worse things.

On-yX responds:

Remember, I wasn't exactly a pro.

I love this piece

This song is really creepy and strange but beautiful too.
I really love those robot sounds in this song, and the other mechanic sounds.
With the main instrument, which gives a kind of feeling like you are somewhere else, and the beat adds more strangeness to this song.
A brilliant piece, keep it up and make more like this.

LJCoffee responds:

Thanks - seems that a few peeps are using words like "creepy and strange" I'm glad that you liked this one.

[[MS] - Blue Oiled Potatoes]

A good space feeling

The intro started really calming.
With a good beat through it, and some nice background sounds, the water sounds were a good thing that you added to this song.
It keeps on like this for a long time, the relaxing and calming part.
And then after a while the pad comes in, which plays some great melody's which i love!
Indeed, it reminds me of space, the mysterious feeling.
As others said, this sounds much better than your other songs.
Try to make more songs with this NASA space expeditions feeling.

MackerelSalad responds:

thank you good sir

[Forgive me Newgrounds!]

Good work

I like those metal instruments you use at the intro and the melody's are ok too.
Enough variation in this song, the rhythm isn't bad either and the drums are good too.
Nice little song you have here, i like it :)
If i should say something you have to improve on.. try to make it longer next time is the only thing i can come up with and keep on doing like this.

Pandora-Tranquil responds:

thanks for the constructive review!
ill never touch this song again lol its just a melody I liked so I put it on here, check out Gateway!!! its a lot better than this and I made it like yesterday.

[[GF]If-I-Could-Be-You[GF]]

Nice

A nice intro you got there and indeed a happy song.

Good melody's you used for this song, the part with the short notes was really interesting.
I liked it and i had to think of a kind of stadium when i heard it, this could be a perfect song to play at party's.
Only thing you could better add next time is a bassline.

Nice work, keep the songs coming.

GroundForce responds:

what's wrong with the bassline? has it to low high frequ? cuz if you have a sub, you will notice it ^^
