Naoki-Reisen's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stardust Speedway]

Can be faster...

My comment (tell this to your friend):

It's just my opinion, but I think a faster version of this will be better. 'Cause it's "in a speedway", right? If it's as slow as this, it gives less energy.

But overall, the song is still decent, so I'll give it an 8/10.

macoh415 responds:

my friend made this song as of the game sonic 2. Yes it was used in stardust speedway. still it was a good beat

[Pokemon G/S Lance Battle Final]

Makes me wanna headbang while playing Pokemon

Now I wanna beat up Lance again. :)) Really nice and clean instruments. Nice notes; every part pulls me back to listening it. Everything is just awesome.

Burn7 responds:

Thanks! And you should go beat up Lance. He is awesome, but deserves an ass-kicking every now and again.

[Is This Truely It?]

Kinda noisy for a cutscene, in my opinion

It sounds alright, but not that much for a "cutscene song". In my opinion, what ruined it is that instrument that goes "waw-weow" or something like that (I think it's an instrument with a phaser effect). Maybe soften the sound of that.

Overall, sounds sad (that's what I'm feeling from it) yet cool. :))

liljchosen responds:

Yeah i agree with you a little. I tried to give it a little futuristic taste with that sound. Its called the paleolith. But i will definately take ur advice on that :) And thanks for the great review :)

[Invisible Full Moon RGRemix]

Umm...

You really should not submit a song yet if you know that you're going to get a low score for it. Try working to the fullest on a song for maybe some days or weeks. Or maybe remaster them if you really want that song to have a high score (though it won't really be that exact same song now, right?)

Anyways, decent remix here. Maybe giving more "delay" to the synth, also the synth kinda sounds like Boom Boom Dollar :D

Raigon50 responds:

Yeah, I have tried to work on a sigle song for an extended period of time before. I just can't do it. I start working on it and I feel like I need to get it done that same day. I'll admit, my haste is sorta a weakness, but at the same time, I feel like it's a good thing. It's how I come up with some unique stuff.

[Rainy night walk]

Fresh indeed.

In my opinion, adding 1 or 2 more instruments (maybe 1 as a piano) will make this song better. Or maybe more notes for the saxophone.

CarlTheVoiceactor responds:

I've been getting that a lot about adding more but I didn't want to overwhelm the song since I made it to be slow and somber. Thanks for the review though.

[{sPhly} - Uneasy Tranquility]

Lacking melancholic feeling...

What I said above, and maybe the hat, in my opinion, is better if a little louder. Also, the bass is overpowering, so the other instruments are not totally heard. Anyways, it's still a good song. Maybe just reduce the levels of the bass.

Shoephly responds:

yea, maybe, though wanted to have a heavy bass to promote a somewhat malancholic feeling, seems like I failed doing that though ;(... :D xD

Anyway thanks for the feedback, I definetly agree with you about "too much bass" but, I wasn't 100% whether that's what the song needed or not, which is one of the reasons why I'm posting it up here; to get this kind of feedback. And apparently i should remaster a lil of this song so that there's still a somewhat heavy bass but so that it doesn't overpower anything, probably gonna take some time xD

Thanks a ton!

[Tardocki (Demo)]

Nice for a first!

Kinda noisy at the other half, maybe proper compressing and equalizing on that part could've made it better. Anyways, really nice! My first wasn't like this! 9/10, 4/5!

skydragn responds:

Thanks very much! I didn't even master this at all, and I'm pretty happy how it turned out. It's a little generic but my friend and I were pretty much teaching ourselves how to use fl studio.

[Thick Rain]

Eerie

Its empty feel gives the feeling of "thick rain" just fine. The samples are used well to give an eerie mood, though it becomes much more of an "escape from death", in my opinion. The scores are also nice, though in the ending part, you could have made it more dramatic. Again, it's my opinion. It lacks on giving impact, but I like this. 9/10, 4/5.

InvisibleObserver responds:

Fair comments, I'm glad the atmosphere of the song is getting some positivity.

[5UP 2.0]

Relaxing

A really nice song. Though I think it won't fit a video game that much.
Also, is this composed on FL Studio? Some instruments seem familiar. :D

9/10, 4/5.

BAWLS responds:

*blushed* Yes... :)

I'm a FL n00b.

[White Reaper - Castlevania Remix (Heart Of Fire)]

Nice!

It has the old game feel, but still very enjoyable. The use of synths are nice.

BallinFatty responds:

thanks, glad you enjoyed it!!
