Pandora-Tranquil's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rucklo - Distress Call]

Hello again Rucklooo

Lovely creepy\uplifting chill mix. I like it, weird vocals lol did you record them? or are they just random?

Either way, nice to see you on the top songs list, you deserve it for being here so long!

my only problem with it is it takes a while to change up the melody, but other then that its good, interesting choice of synths as always, I see you are still the same style (guess its hard to break free huh? same here.)

Well anyways, talk to you soon bud,

PDora

[Dreams (Piano version)]

Gorgeous

I didnt like it too much at first (and im a huge fan of pianos in music) but it started sounding really nice.

Im not sure if you compressed it for NG or what, but the voice could be clearer and with more definition to it - I actually was writing how it would rock if someone harmonized with it, then you did so yea, good call :-P

But other than that, its rather good.
Nice lyrics too, I really liked them.

p.s lose the delay on the voice in the second verse

Naitzmic responds:

Glad you changed your mind after listening to it a bit then. =D

I can appreciate the input and the advice, but you should
know that Alex (the singer) and myself are performers - not producers.
We just hit "record" and do our thing basically.
Sometimes it comes out good, other times not so much...
It all depends on personal preference, I guess.

Anyways, thanks alot for the review.
Appreciate it.

[†Demonic Signs†]

cool stuff

Great guitaring and decent lyrics, but the vocals couldhave been more harmonic with the melodys and the other vocals in the beginning parts (the harmonizing parts obviously)

oh and I love the outro

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Haha, Glad you liked it overall and thanks a lot for the review!\m/

[[TMM43] Feel in Trance]

advice to make this track great

The fourth sound that came in (synth im sure)
kick it the hell out of the song all together.

Drop that shitty hat.

After you do those two things you have a good intro, play the intro like you do here, but with those changes, maybe put in a better hat, but make a drum roll or something that leads up to a climax with a nice solid lead. THEN change the kick into a hard hitting one, and maybe raise the bass on the bass as soon as it climaxes.

then you have a really good solid buildup.

TMM43 responds:

Thanks for reviewing Pandora-Tranquil.
This song was more of me fooling around with a new plug-in I got. The leads and synths are all preset sounds. I'm sorry if they sound so crappy.
I really appreciate your review! I'll take what you've said into consideration when I re-make this song.

[[TMM43] Heavy (?)]

one word and some advice

This could actually be pretty sweet with a catchy lead and some filtering.

its not DNB of course, this is hardcore dance (not bad) but one word:
compressor.

put a compressor on master and add some melodies.

or scrap it, your choice lol

TMM43 responds:

Well, I am redoing this song because it's sparked so much controversy! I thought I did an OK job when I first made this, but now I hate the way most of it sounds. I'm fixing it. I'll be adding a melody, getting rid of that hit every 5 seconds or whatever, lowing the volume, yada yada yada. It's going to be better. Promise.

Thanks for the review!

[DjRick VS. DNBM4K0R - POPKORN]

lol

omgwtfbbq.

[Stratodancer (4min33sec)]

Woo

Gives a very "movie-like" approach, with some more reverb on the synths itd be trailer-worthy.

Some melody breaks, its kinda....idk I can like feel what I want the melody to do and it doesnt, some notes I feel should be longer, but it IS very good, lovely melodies, and good progression!

I didnt get bored one time during this, I love the higher synth that plays through most of the song, if you CAN make the notes longer, I'd suggest at least doing it during the breakdown of the song, because instead of short taps, take some control of the song with some longer notes.

Anyways, love the bass also, it really goes very well with everything, perfectly on key, just get some more reverb so u can have some more atmosphere goin on.

I got really bored and checked out my ng account and remembered you were like my fav NG person lol
you really helped me develop musically (when I was still a noob) right now I cant make music tho cuz I dont have a updated fruity loops account (and it is expencive to buy!) so yea, no registry entrys.. :-(

*cough* well sorry for the extremely long review, just wanted to let you know I appreciate all you've done, and let you know how I feel about your latest!
good job!

I voted 5

:-)

AdmiralConquistador responds:

Really? I thought the song was a little too "wet" with reverb and delay, and I took some off before mastering... It feels right to me. I wonder what you would do differently with some of those longer notes that you mention, it really intrigues me and I love this type of feedback; of course you would have done something differently, you're not me! I remember what you're talking about too, back when you were still new to this, and I would give you rather harsh reviews, but always constructive, in the hopes that I wouldn't... umm... I don't wanna say crush your spirits, but more of a "man, I'll show him I'm better!" kind of spirit boost. I know it worked; your music rocks! Anyway, thanks for reviewing my works, and for being a peer, and for developing right before my very eyes... It feels good to know that you directly impacted someone. :)

[Battered Senses(1min34sec)demo]

when you get sick of mainstream

This is what you come to listen to.

Nice, original, calming music.

I'm sorry, but I'm really feeling way too lazy right now to do a full in-depth review.

Keep makin music pal

[Zion-Vital Sacrifice]

original to say the least

weird break, I was like, so wheres the trance at? hidden behind all that other stuff?

Its definately origional, interesting choice of synths, I like how it turned from a pipeish sounding synth to the harder lead. Pretty cool, decent bass, I dont like the kick though, too weak. And the clap doesnt fit as well as the other drums do.

The beginning was kinda repetitive, but the rest of the song was pretty good with the production.

however I dont like the outro, it just makes it get repetitive, just end it with a bang and a bunch of FX or summat.

The-XI responds:

Yeah, the clap didn't work out too great. I didn't wanna look through thousands of samples to find a better one, so I jsut chose one and stuck with it.

Its 'repetitive' because its dance than trance, actually... its ment to be mixed, I guess. Thats why I didn't have a decorative outro.

As for the kci being too quiet, if it was louder, it would distort.
