Syrupmasterz's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[No running in the halls]

Auctioneer-esque mumbling to the tune of a mystical dance song? ...That also turned out to be rad? Dayum! Colour me pleasantly surprised. :P

Composition alone, sounds like something I'd hear from the PS1 Pandemonium series, and that my friend gets you massive brownie points.

Keep up the good work!

ShareeBon responds:

Audio original from Baldi's basics in education and learning.
Thanks for the generous feedback my boi.

[Who Dun It?]

Holy smokes! This just screams of PS1 era horror games. :D
The main beat persists throughout most of the song with the piano coming in the the creepy distant chanting to keep the song diverse.

If you were to extend this song at any point, I'd just say that the song would need one more piano solo/tempo change before returning to the main beat.

Keep it up!

ShareeBon responds:

Thank you for the feedback!

I got inspired by some Detroit: Become human Music.
Especially from Connor's missions.

[Traveling song]

I unfortunately lack the musical knowledge to provide any real insight or advice about the mixing, but I CAN say that this is a nice chill song to relax to.

Kinda makes me think of some of the Menu Songs from certain RPG games I've played, and that my friend is a compliment. :P

As for trying to sound more professional? Don't worry about it, there is a thousand and one different ways to make music, so don't think you need to follow a formula or your work might become predictable.

I'll give you the wise words from a Snowboarder I know... "Don't force it, FEEL IT!"

Just keep making music and you'll gradually learn ways to make bigger and better songs.
Keep on grooving mah dude!

[The Competition]

Hey you posted it!
Now it'll be easier for me to link to it at the end of episodes. :P

Possibly responds:

I did :D I look forward to seeing the episode!

[Mathy Funk Beat]

That first beepboopboop WOOOOOO caught me off guard with my volume so high up, hurt my ears a little. haha

I really like the middle part of this song, from 0:52 to 1:26, since I'm terrible with instrument/genre descriptions I'll just call it 'Digital Lounge Jazz' or 'Cartoony Funk'. That kind of stuff is my jam and I'm hard pressed to find good examples...

...However, you sir have made an excellent example. :P

Reminds me a lot of the Sheep Raider Soundtrack from PS1, even Persona a little bit, though your style is unique and different from it.

Keep it up my dude! :D

JimPMusic responds:

Woooaahhhhh!! Thanks for the feedback. You my friend are too kind!

[WHY CAN'T I FINISH A PROJECT]

The trick to finishing something is to finish it even if you don't like the way it sounds.
From there, keep tweaking and adjusting things to make it sound better. The song is 'finished' but can still be improved upon.

Doing it this way helps prevent the 'it's not finished' mindset and helps to alleviate a bit of stress.
Give it a shot, you got nothing to lose by trying! :P

CRSNT responds:

Thanks for the feedback, but as my master said, "Nothing sounds good until it does" - Seamlessr

I typically try to refine everything before I move on to the next "Part" of the song, and I sorta know what I want something to sound like, but I can't. Either because I don't have the knowledge, or I don't have the equipment (VST's, Plugins)

I guess I should stop trying so hard and not focus on one specific thing. And if I try so hard to make it perfect, I will never make any progress. So I need to force myself to get my ideas down and fix it later. "If you keep your pen in the same spot for too long, you'll just get a big dark puddle of ink" - Just Monika

Anyway idk why I spent so long writing about this, I don't really know what got to me but yea, thanks.

[someTrash_073]

Well you certainly did try to compose a boss battle song...AND YOU SUCCEEDED! :D

I don't know why, but the dodoodododly doo-s and the other synth kinda give it an Egyptian feel, it's pretty cool!

If I ever end up needing a song for a movie/game where characters fight someTrash, I'll happily use this. Keep it up!

maldan responds:

Thanks :D

[Kotori [ Future Bass ]]

Haha, it reminds me of some songs from the Ape Escape games.
Nice work!
