kuro-rpg's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[DOOM Tribute - Hangar]

This would totally work for E1M1.

I also liked what you did with the bass. You played around it and helped give the track some extra personality. Nice! :D

Tremulos responds:

Glad you noticed my super fancy bass programming! Thanks for the review

[Finding Out]

Nice job! I like how this one turned out. Just enough variety in the style so nothing felt overly repetitive. :)

KuroTheFox responds:

Thank you :D. Check out my other stuff too!

[DooM 2 - The Pit]

Nice job!

You captured so much of what made the original track interesting. :)

PaulyBFromDa303 responds:

Tried to stick with it. Sorta jazz it up a bit. Thanks

[To Make the End of Battle]

VERY MUCH "To Make the End of Battle". The melody was spot-on, the bass was great and you were not way off on any keys. Sometimes I find re-masters and re-mixes screw up one note and I find that kills the entire performance (Secret of Mana: Meridian Dance, comes to mind), so I am glad you pulled this off quite well.

It's too bad 5 stars is the highest...

dyeo responds:

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy it! I'm surprised this song hasn't showed it's age... it was actually the first song I made in Famitracker ^//^ Once again, thank you!

[PassThroughTheForestPiano]

Looks like you and I are the only ones who have tackled tracks from Threads of Fate! You did a pretty nice job on this track! :) I immediately recognized it as soon as I heard it. :)

DrMackFoxx responds:

Threads of Fate/Dewprism is definitely an under-appreciated game, if you ask me. May have to check out your remake sooner or later. At any rate, glad you really liked this song and thank you very much for the awesome review! :)

[Finale - Quest for Glory]

I recognize this! This is the last track from Quest for Glory 4. Nice job! :D

AudioLion responds:

Thanks!

[Meridian Dance]

YES! This is probably the first mix I have heard that got the climatic 8 measures at the end of the loop done RIGHT! GREAT!

RobSoundtrack responds:

AWESOME thanks so much Kuro-RPG
I'm glad there are others that share the same emotions for this song!

I wish I could do it again with todays gear/knowledge....Who knows I might...

[The holliday]

A very musical piece you have put together.

Good:
- Your use of instruments that (I think) you do not normal use works out to your advantage. It reminds me of something from PS1's Dewprism game because of multiple instruments playing very different things to create your music.

Concerns:
- The main melody is over-repetitive. Repetition is not a bad thing so long as it is not overdone. I did sometimes wonder if the same could have been accomplished in 0:45.
- The pattern of your music (Like when percussion comes in and out) seems very similar to some of your past works. Try changing things around a little to keep things less predictable.

Overall: Quite good! :)

Adjeye responds:

Thank you, really you're helping me alot!

[Deadly bond.]

Quite interesting!

I think this is actually one of your better efforts!

Good:
- Nice change of consistency in the style at 0:54 with the sudden withdraw of all notes and substituting it with piano. Piano is awesome IF you use it right. I would say that counts!
- The off-harmony notes with the Sawtooth Synth(?) after 1:12 complimenting the accompanying notes. Nice indeed!

Concerns:
- No bass? Adding bass may or may not work for this kind of song though...
- Percussion felt predictable at times. It ended up feeling monotonous rather than dynamic.

Best Use?:
- A Video Game BGM I could see it working in. Probably a mild action/adventure scene with suitable tension and build-up to a major plot element and/or development.

Thoughts for instruments in future pieces:
- I am a fan of Choir Ahs for background noise and New Age for certain higher notes.

Adjeye responds:

Thank you for your build-up review!

[what time does.]

A solid and decent effort!

Good:
- The off percussion at 0:45 was an interesting touch.
- Like the piano at 1:20. I am a piano fan.
- Rhodes Piano at around 2:00 with the light Sawtooth(?) was a fun combination.

Concerns:
- The bass and synth got old very fast, giving me a feel of declining enthusiasm for hearing it. Liven it up more with a change in the basic feel.

Favourite Part:
- Part at 1:20.

Overall Feel: Not bad, I think. Maybe it could stand for improvement, but it is fine if you choose to leave it alone.

Adjeye responds:

The part at 2:00 was actualy a jazz guitar but, I had the same feeling about this song as you had I think.
