Ragnarokia's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sometime]

A good classical song.

I especially like the starting part, and at 0:21 the style is still present even with the change, the same goes with 0:43, it is good that you manage to keep the style during these changes. At 53, despite the change is style from the new drum, the song is still flowing perfectly well. However at

1:09 the symbol thing ruins the atmosphere slightly. The 1:25 distorted instrument, is not so much of classical and it slightly works during the symbol instrument but is not a very good instrument to use in this song.

At 1:48 the style returns back to the older one that worked well, though the distorted instrument ruins this part.
At 2:08 the music returns to the original style which works very well, and then the piece slowly uses instruments, this ending works well.

Keep up the good work.

[Zafer-- Tribute of XEPHER]

Enjoyed this a lot.

The vocals as many have mentioned, were very good, These vocals grabbed my attention immediately which made me focus on the whole song, this makes it very good and effective. However the vocals were cut out mid speech at 0:17, this looses the atmosphere slightly.

The same problem for the vocal cut of is present at 0:40 as the instrument goes quiet but then cuts off during the sound, there was still another second before the next part began and I think you could have let it last for another half a second.

I personally like the sudden change in the style after 0:41 and I think it adds to this piece a lot.

However the time it took you to make this does seem far to long, music at the most should take a few months. Though it is good to see that you used this time to make it good.

A very good song here. Also a download, keep up the good work : )

Thankz for comment, and yeah, i have some problems with the vocals and FL.

[Man In the Smoking Mirror]

A very good piece of audio, loved the style.

I especially liked the opening and the other creepy parts of this, those in themselves if you were to release them separately could be used in quite a few submissions. This whole piece together though, I can see being used for a good horror / puzzle / surreal platform genres of flash games. It also has a slight Madness availability as well.

I especially like it at 1:00 when it begins to pick up, this is done very well and the long 30 seconds, makes it slide gently in to the new style, which works very well compared to a quick change.

The build up over the 2:20 time works very well and this works with the quick introduction of the drum etc.

This piece was made with perfect instruments for this style in my opinion, and I can see it being a very good addition to anything it was put on.

It is hard to fins areas that need improving here, I might say that the ending cuts of a bit to suddenly, though this may add to the style, but it may be bad if it was to be used looping in a game, though this could easily be altered by the user.

I like this so much that i am making it a favourite and download : ) And I would like to ask what program you used to create this, if you can add it in the reply.

WritersBlock responds:

Thanks for the review. I'm glad you like it so much. My main purpose for this song wasn't primarily for flash, but it would have some good applications in appropriate flashes, but it is a large song, so instead of looping it, I would expect that a flash artist would only use a section of it, or something like that.

About the programs used, it was all FL studio 7, and it only had 4 instruments + drums, I think. And they all had varying amounts of effects and junk layered onto them to bring out the creepiness of it all. But I also used some sounds on my keyboard (helicopter ^_^) for background, as well as a bit of random guitar. But for the main part it was FL Keys, 3xOsc and a couple of free VSTs, I think there was one there that was solely ambient sounds, a bit of rain. But a lot of it was experimentation, and it was fortunate that everything came together so neatly.

Cheers for the fav and DL.

[::Z::Melodies of Life]

Melodies of Life!

I wonderd when I saw the name and it really is, this is very good. A great ending to a Legendary game and you kept the style without the voice. This is made very well.

There are some of the instruments that carry on for longer than the original piece, but these tend to make up for the space left by the voice. And as such they work very well.
I will say I am not such a fan of the instrument brought in at around 2:29.

Overall you kept the style that the original had and as such this is a great piece of work.

[FF7-Cosmo Canyon | TranceClub]

Cosmo Canyon, got to love it.

Great take on the great music. This sounds very, very good.
I originally thought it would not work, butseveral seconds in it got to me, this is not completely my style, but I still love it.
Keep up the good work.

[Calliope]

Great madness song

I think this my be my favourite out of them that I can find, I like how you keep making these.
If anyone knows the ones Krinkles uses could they PM me please?

Anyway great song, and all the notes are correct, there is nothing that sticks out unless it is to fit with the song, great work and keep it up.

[STUMILANT SONG CIRCA 3069 A.D]

Pumping extreme violence into my ears.

This is so far that it is Legendary. Painful yet very funny.
Every single instrument is painful and far to loud.

[Memories...]

Grand parents dying is bad.

Mine died while I was about 12, saddening. It is good to see you wanted to make this to respect them, it is a nice and gentle song, I like it a lot.
Keep up the good work.

Cruston responds:

Thanks Ragnarokia, it is a tough time of life when people die. This melody came to me after his funeral and I did it all in one shot. Thanks again!

[Arnold Rimmer (Feat Will)]

Does this class as copying?

If it does then very bad and it should be deleated and you should feel ashamed.
If not then this is amazing and it is an automatic favourite, and keep up the good work.
It has been a long time so I can't tell wether it is the real one or not : (

[KR- Mario 64 dire docks remix]

To hard.

You have the theme here, but it is painful to my ears, you should smoth down all of the instruments in this and make them less sharp and it would work.

Noted, thanks for your review.
