[Nightcore remix]

It's a really big mess...

It seems like you cranked the volume up as loud as you can for each mixer track. Turn it down and work on equalizing. Also, I found a bunch of disharmonic notes here and there that make it unenjoyable to listen to. The intro sounds like two different melodies slapped together and expected to work well, but they just clash so bad. Keep trying.

"ur not paragonX9, i give it a 0"

This song is pretty intense, I think it fits your description very well. I'm digging that vibrato you put on the violin to make it sick sounding. Keep making music bro, it's alot more interesting than most of what NG has to offer.

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Lol . Many thanks man . I compose with my heart, I don't jsut slap notes on just because it sounds awesome . I love the mind's structure, and the words of our soul . I speak through judgement, not garbage . Another great review :3
Just so you know, I been only composing for 17 days now . =P Not even a month ..
Imagine what I could make then XD .

[AA - Brown Town]

Neat lol

Yeah it does feel like you're lost in some creepy forest at night, I like it. Most newgrounders probably won't though because it isn't another "basshunter" remix or some gay shit like that lol.

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Well said . It's the same concept as that shitty movie Twilight . People don't know what ''true'' is anymore . I really like the way you think, I appreciate your reviews . Thankyou . ^^';

[RD2010 AA - Mechanical Defeat]

Damn dude...

That's depressing lol. The song sounds pretty much as you've describe it. It's almost surreal, as if it was in some sort of movie or something, where an intense scene is happening, but instead of hardcore music, it's that soft orchestral or ambience tracks.

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Thanks, I worked really hard on this . I rarely ever see money in my life, it would be bliss to be able to win 250$ by speaking through my mind's whispers . I will never give up music, music is my life . :3

[AA - Stardust]

Idk what everyone else's problem is

I think these songs are rather interesting. The only thing I think you should do is clean up some of the disharmonic piano notes so it's more soothing to hear.

AphoticAthanasy responds:

Thankyou . Omg, Lol . I knew my songs were fine . I think the submissions got 0 bombed, just now . Sigh, why are people so immature . Humans lol..
Thankyou man, OMFG HEY ITS YOU . I love your industrial music you made back in like 2009 I believe . =D!

[-Halfway out the dark-]

Nice idea, but...

I think it goes wayyy to slow, and it's kinda bare feeling. Give it some better equalization and turn up the speed a bit. I suppose some RnB style lyrics would go nice with this kind of song though.

[Colossus [Dubstep]]

Keep the strings...

I don't think they feel out of place, they actually made me decide to download this song. The only suggestion I have for this song is that it could be longer, other than that, this song is pretty boss.

Nice

Before I read your comments, I thought the melody sounded familiar. I didn't get TBOGT or Lost and the Dammned because I don't have any microsoft points, but I watched the trailer. GTA is pretty badass.

About the song, It does sound like the original. It's pretty groovy, I just think the EQ could use some work. I also don't think you're an amateur, your Industrial and Ambient peices have inspired many of my own songs. They have this charm to them that I think is awesome.

snayk responds:

Yeah, it definitely does sound like the original. I wasn't really trying to make it something very different, but I also wasn't attempting to make a carbon copy. I barely listened to the original save for a few pieces of it here and there. I really just wanted to take the main melody/feeling and use it.

What specifically about the EQ needs work? I actually think this song sounds a lot more rounded than my other dance music.

I suppose what I meant by amateur musician was hobbyist musician. I'd love for it to be more, but that's all it is right now. If I want it to go any further I'll need to get a little proactive. Nothing's ever going to happen if I just submit music to NG and wait for someone to stumble upon it and get interested :P

Thanks for the listen and review.

[One Final Hope]

Pretty Intense

I like it. It sounds like it'd work in an epic battle scene or a movie trailer.

I just have one question though. What software do you use to create this?, because my orchestral software is starting to sound pretty dated and I want to look into getting something new.

ProudAardvark responds:

This is Logic with Symphobia, Vienna and a bunch of cinematic percussion hits from SD2 and a few odd EWQL samples as well. If you have any specific questions about the setup, I'm happy to fill you in! Send me a PM.

wow

This clearly isn't the DL_Deadmaus from FL studios.
