lesexoflex's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[New Dimension Ext Saw Mix]

I really liked the grip the beginning had me in, but I felt that the finish was a bit abrupt. Other than that, the sound is bouncing and ricocheting in my cranium, a feeling that I do enjoy.

AlxEllis responds:

Thanks for the review, I'm really glad you enjoyed this song :) and yes the ending is a tad abrupt I wasn't sure where to go with it as i didn't want it being "too" repetitive, never knew, might make another mix! sometime

Squares of a delicious milk-chocolate bar - for the ears: absolutely sweet.

HolyKrap92 responds:

thanks!

[Don't wana (be here)]

You could definitely improve on the flow, but I'm rating you on the vocals and not so much on the piano portion:

Disregarding some of the off-pitch moments, your voice is especially beautiful when it hits the higher notes. For example, I found that 00:25 and 1:30 begin to invoke powerful emotions (which songs should do); choral and overtone singing suits you :)

I'd like to commend on what you have so far and encourage you to practice, practice, practice.

11linda responds:

The piano is an old instrumental that I downloaded from freesound.org to use for radio plays I used to try to make... so it wasn't created by me. I thought I gave credit to the one who made it but I will have to recheck and see if I did that right.

It's funny, in choir I was always an alto, but I hated it. I know it is a little pitchy I will definitely practice on that and hopefully get a better, I haven't taken any vocal classes or anything so I just kind of went with it, and I know it shows, especially in the flow.

Thank you so much for your feed back.

[Hambrosia]

Hahaha, I recognize those sweeps from one of FL's sfx packs. Good utilization of them :)

Deidara responds:

Haha yeah I found those pretty cool for starting off.

Thanks!~

[Descent and ascent]

It's perky- in a good way.

I can't decide whether adding voice to this one would be an improvement or a drag. But anyway, I enjoyed it.

Fabyy responds:

Haha yeah thank you :D
I think I would just add one phrase in one of the calm phases, but i'll have to see :D

[Ravaged By Demons]

It gave me goosebumps: the atmosphere, the rich dark voice, the growling - mwah~ wonderful blend!

Laphin responds:

Thank you much for the compliment!

[-586rick- The truth]

Pump it, pump it, pump it!

It's certainly got cowbell; I'd like to see this continued to a greater extent. Good job on what you have thus far :)

586rick responds:

haha well thanks for the review.

[Avatar: Last Agni Kai]

Right off the bat, the strings and the drums mesh powerful to create an unwavering, powerful emotion. Well done.

Just one thing: from 1:30 to the end there was this strange tubular, space noise that I didn't fully understand.

jvonm responds:

Thanks for the review!

You're right-- I noticed the noise at the end after I'd posted it. I added some sidechained noise to certain places to give it the texture of a recorded performance rather than a bunch of virtual instruments. Those last few seconds are ugly noise leftovers that I should have removed.

Outside of that small detail, glad you enjoyed!

[Jungle Hunt 1]

Really unique. I really felt the music at 0:41 and 0:45 with the voicing of "jungle hunt". Mmm, it was a good mellow-retro listen :)

VideoGameCult responds:

Thanks, this is based on the music near the end of the game Jungle Hunt for the Atari 2600.

[Back in the 60s]

If funk was what you were striving to achieve, you've got it. That bum-bum bounce and mineral synth do the trick nicely.

Keep it groovy Capn ;)

CapnCoconuts responds:

Thanks! I appreciate it.
