Setu-Firestorm's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Feral-Fox - Forgotten Land]

This piece would be suited for gaming

This is definitely battle music for a game. Very well composed, executed, and mixed.

[Dreamerz: Machines Will Fall]

Great for an action scene

If you're not scoring anyone's flash movies/games, then these people are really missing out on some really good work.

This piece would most definitely be suited for a mecha battle scene.

Hmm, I'll have to advertise to do that then, never really saw the potential in this stuff : D

-Thanks!

[Dreamerz: Fading Into Time]

Excellent Ambient Piece

Wonderfully done. This piece creates an auditory vision of the idea and mood behind the title. It takes a lot of talent to be able to pull that sort of thing off.

Keep it up!

itsameyayo responds:

Wow, thanks much! I'll be sure to kick off a track on Tuesday night, and another sometime in December :D

[Khuskan - Nocturne in D Minor]

A simple but well composed piece

This piece has that same drive that Chopin would have in his pieces. I commend you on not only your composing ability and talent, but also in your use of technique and keeping the mood set in that of a true Nocturne.

Thank you for sharing. Keep up the good work!

[tristan grains of sand]

Interesting and original

This piece, as well as being original and well-conceived, is very well mixed and executed.

I'm impressed by the display of originality involved here. Personally, though, I'd work at making it longer (unless you intentionally wanted it that short).

[Trance Blaster]

Good piece, but formless

There seems to be no song structure involved in this piece. I suppose that as a trance piece, though, it could get away with that. I could not see dancing to this piece, however, I could see this piece working very well with a dark sci-fi action sequence scene.

So, in respect, I enjoyed this piece.

[Tremolo Attack]

Great!

I use Edirol Orchestral for all of my orchestral pieces (I believe I submitted some to the AP as well).

This was a good execution, and it would be well suited for a survival horror game.

The transition from the slower creepy music into the intensely moving music was well done.

TheAmateurAnimator responds:

Thanks. I like this song(it was the first actually good thing I had made with EDIROL), but I think I made it too short.

[Mystery Temple]

Well defined and executed

In the composing of this piece, you seem as though you knew exactly what you wanted to hear. Just listening to this, I feel I can see what you were seeing that gave you this inspiration.

While this is a simple piece, simplicity in music is never a bad thing if it is done under the right circumstances.

Great work.

TheAmateurAnimator responds:

Thanks.

[Kirby Remix]

For a first mix, this is "okay"

This piece still needs help. It sounds as though you only have the basic layers laid down, which for your first mix, is a good start. However, you need to build on top of this. Add more instruments and movement. And furthermore, bring the lead synth a little more forward so it doesn't sound as "in the mix" as it currently does.

This is a good start, but I cannot give it a high rating just yet. Keep at it.

[Mario Beat *demo*]

Needs more to it

You have an interesting mix here. The timing and variety of samples is astoundingly good, however, add more instrument lines, perhaps a bassline and some techno synths. Don't let these game sfx samples drive the piece; let them complement it. I would use this current piece as a foundation and build a song on top of it.

Kasualty responds:

Keep in mind that it's only a demo.
