lantaren's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[House Attempt_1]

pretty good.

though what kind of house is this? it borders trance IMO, but whatever. still cool either way.

I gave it 5/5 (because this is fairly good, and to counterbalance anything that could happen to it, just in case... so really a 3.5/5)

SpliceMan responds:

This track sounds more trance than it does actual house. I wish I had more of an ear for house, but I'm more dedicated to the fast-paced beat. Thanks for the review. I was trying to go with progressive house, but progressive I hear, takes a lot longer to build up!

[A Piano Named John <-(FTA)->]

pretty cool

not exactly my style, but it's pretty good. very dark and... ominous perhaps? yet strangely.... interesting. not sure how to describe this one actually 0.o

FaeryTaleAdventurer responds:

That's perhaps one of the reasons I liked this soundfont. It's richness in its darkness, to perhaps being somewhere underground, like a sewer or cave. I thought about keeping it mostly dark, by hanging around in the lower octaves, but as I was making it, I felt that it needed some brightness to it, to give it a melancholy feel at best.

Good to know that it has a mysterious feel to it.

Thanks for reviewing!

[Peace - Dj Sonik]

isn't this more of house...?

still good either way.

DreamEater responds:

yeah it is, but this track made platinum before I got a chance to change it... It's stuck here now ><.
Thanks so much for the review bud, I am really glad you enjoyed my submission :p

[Something I'm working on.]

voted a 5 to even the rating out

It's okay, better then the 2.3 you had at least. pretty catchy though. I kinda like it. a bit strange sounding though...

GrayZ responds:

thanks man :)

[Short Tetris Metal Remix]

cools, I like it.

like the other guy said, it did get a bit messed up at 0:14.

great otherwise BTW.

Eteocles responds:

But would you have noticed if he didn't say anything? ;)

Thanks though man! It's pretty crappy compared to a lot of my newer stuff hehe

[Piano Song-[Dj-S]]

epic

this is epic, continue.

Sacrafan responds:

Thank you. I haven't played piano in a while. I appreciate the review.

And I will, just because of you. Well. And that guy up there.

[4 Felicia]

megaman-esque?

sounds very much like something out of megaman :D

what vst's do you use for the... arp synth I guess don't know what else to call it very clear @ 0:31?

B0UNC3 responds:

oh shi- late reply.... Everything was made with 3xosc in fl studio, so any subtractive synthesizer could make them :)

[A part of something.]

pretty good.

I think you could have harmonized the lead synth with the bass synth a little better though ;)

also, work on that beat. sound very generic. the piano part felt like it was lacking a bit much though, because it had built up into something lesser then it was before, giving a false sense of ... direction? I'm not sure what the word is...

maybe you should work on not throwing everything out at once and leaving nothing left for the rest of it.

you could also place the piano at the beginning and build up into the synth part, because when I play through it enough, it sounds like the piano goes first, then drums kick in with synth ;) sounds more natural.

If you don't get what I'm talking abou, then don't worry...

and if the piano part isn't the end then you can keep it there, but I think for the time being that the piano would better fit in the intro.

thats just IMO though, so maybe I don't know what I'm talking about XD.

asddaw responds:

Thanks for the great reply!! :)

Yes, right now i'm more or less building a structure, what I will fill it with I really dont know yet!

I have a new version up, called "bombobobombom", wich is more or less 5 minutes long, I included everything I've made in the track there, maybe it sounds better?
It still lacks something that I cant put a finger on, maybe your better at that? ;)
