Wayv's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Way of Life - WIP]

Personally I like it the way it is...
But hey, if you want to add some bass, you could always do the signature Blackmill bass. That would probably fit nicely.
I love the sound, progression, and beat to this though.
Pretty epic

Semaphore responds:

It was an idea and unfortunately not much more than that.

[Red Stallion]

The lyrics are pretty disconnected from each other, but man, I don't really care.
They retain the mood of the song, which I absolutely love! It's a great piece--really!

[LDOHD]

Cool sounds, cool chords!
I liked what you did with the drums in general, but when they went into double time they were a little distracting.
Cheers!

[Silence]

I don't know...I was nodding my head for sure to this beat. for what it was, it was very calming and enjoyable. I think you could have added a melody though. You have a solid foundation to what could be a full blown song. Seriously, just reopen this thing, add a piano track, and see what you can do!
Have fun with it!
It's easy to be content when you've brought a work this far, but I encourage you to look at it as a task to keep the attention of your audience, and make sure you leave no stone unturned, and no measure too empty.
Nice!

NGKFlower responds:

Thanks! I'll keep that in mind. I felt like it was missing something

[Light Driving]

I see someone with an incredible ear for melodies! The song flows with diversity. You lack in music production skill, as far as I can see--not that the mastering is terrible, I just feel like you kept all the instrumentation to a bare minimum.
If you keep making songs with this caliber of musicality in it, you will at least have my attention.
Work with what you have as far as production though--I've seen some pretty crappy productions receive recognition because the musical content was excellent.
Keep trying new things, and just develop your style. Amateur music production is a skill aquired by practice and time.

So, I like it!
It's entertaining; the surprising harmonies engage my attention more than a mediocre dance beat.
I would like to see more of a resolve though. After all the travelling and wandering of the song, the listener wants to hear where the emotion is. I didn't feel much emotion in this song.
You know those synths you built all the tension with in the intro? Well what if you used those to wind down the song? Just a thought. I see a lot of musical understanding in this. I don't see as much interest in the drums, which is OK.
All I could ask for to complete this is a wind down; a more gradual and subtle closing.
Very cool!

I laughed so hard though!! This made my evening

[Driven On Edge]

That snare tho! Very 80s sounding. I liked it.

[Edge of Faith]

Um. Brilliant. I love the atmosphere, the drums, and pretty much everything else.

[Channel Surfing]

Your drums are super groovy man! I really love the precision and balance in that area. Your guitar melody is pretty sweet too, though not too spectacular.

I'm glad you enjoyed it, thanks for the review pal.
