JacksonTime's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Duel de Forlat]

Love it. Very interesting chord progressions, melodies and arrangement. Excellent job. Btw, for not being a sound technician, your mix sounds fine. Everything important is heard clearly.

[2017 Orchestral Demo Reel]

Very diverse! I like the way you orchestrate strings. Those ostinato's really work for what you're doing. I love it.

[Forest landscape]

This is cool! Very interesting chord progressions. My only critique is that there should be more dynamics. Perhaps around the 1:03 mark the piano can be less busy and more quiet, so when it comes back into the main theme, it hits even harder. (I like the dynamics at the end though) Nonetheless, you still wrote very good music. Good job

TaedolMusic responds:

Thanks for your advice! I'll develop to more dynamics.
Have a Good Day :)

[2002: A Space Adventure]

I really love the chord progressions you chose. My only recommendations is you should increase the volume of the drums, make the bass a little more obvious and decrease the volume of the lead melody. This is a very good, fun composition, but you should work on your mixing. All in all, good job on this!

IanPatterson responds:

Yeah I'm awful at mixing lol. That's something I'm well aware of and trying to get better at. Glad you like it though!

[Liberty Bell March]

Now for something a little different. Great job on this. The mallet percussion makes it sound like it belongs in a silent film. My only complaint is that it's a loop, so there's no fart at the end.

All jokes aside, great job

[Allegro in B-flat]

Fist of all I must ask, is this your composition? If so, Beautiful orchestration.. Beautiful arrangement.. Are you a fan of Josef Haydn? I'm hearing a lot of that in your work.

MJTTOMB responds:

Year late on the response—sorry. Yes, it's my work. Mostly I just post scraps here or projects I write for practice. This falls under the latter category. I don't have any particular fondness for Haydn above any other composer, but it's easy (and good practice) to ape the elements of his style.

[8bit Final Battle]

This is great :) I am a huge fan of The FF games (and their music), The main motif is very catchy, but it starts to get a bit sloppy towards the end of the loop. Overall I think Nobuo Uematsu would be proud. Its good to hear some good chip music once in a while.

wandschrank responds:

Thanks for your kind review! :) I variated the rhythm a bit towards the end, adding some "randomness".

[The Graveyard Gig]

This is my personal favorite of yours. It reminds me of The Good old stuff (Beatles-Clapton-Hendrix) ya you problably know them. Oh one more thing what organ vst`s are you using

AliMaredia responds:

It's off of a Yamaha keyboard.

[8bit Space Travel]

I like your use of saws and noise.

wandschrank responds:

Thanks!
