ShatterTheSky22's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Classical Piano Solo]

Wow

It's really, really great. I write alot of piano stuff myself so believe me when I say this is good stuff. I would have loved to hear a deep, low chord or two thrown in there (maybe in the longer version, which I hope you pursue) and the sudden quick segments are spectacular. Sometimes it sounds a bit weird when you jump tempo like that from a slower one, but you execute it pretty flawlessly here.

WizMystery responds:

I'm leaning towards a lower part in there somewhere, right now the left hand is up there in the treble clef a lot so it's time for the bass to get some input.

Thanks for the really, really fast review!

[TL - Carol of the Bells]

Great take on it.

When I first read that challenge, I knew it was going to get some awesome results.
You got the beats down exactly right, and it sounds really cool in this trance style.

TeHLoY responds:

Hmm. Thanks! Glad you said so. :)

[Not Worth It (Thirteen Swells)]

Not sure why you don't like it.

It's really great in my opinion. It's a bit mesmerizing; I think if i let it play a few times, and just staring at the visualizations until I passed out. Haha
I particularly like the really low background effects in the sub-range.

I guess I just felt like I could have put more elements into this track. But then again, I could just be my harshest critic....

Thanks for the review, I'm glad you enjoyed the track!

[Carol Of Bells Alto Saxophone]

Pretty cool

I like how you recorded the carol in two different instruments. It sounds pretty cool in alto sax.

AccountableMasses responds:

thanks.... it was rushed session though..... could of been better.

On a side note, if you believe you could make something out of it, please, feel free to do so.. I'll add it to the Christmas collab for you

[Dragon's of High]

Hypnotizing

To be honest, I don't see anything fitting horror here; much more dramatic in my opinion. But I like it very much. Not to say "it sounds videogame-like," but I could picture this in a good game for sure at an emotional point.
My only criticism is I think its mixed extremely loudly, so much so that it's distorting the audio a bit. Besides that, I enjoyed it!

VincentRamos17 responds:

well upon your critism i dont blame you for saying that it would really fit in a horror video and well i do program some games but i do accept how you put your view on this song... although i am happy with the way i built it but i find it a little loud myself.
though im glad you enjoyed the song

[Spaxcat Reloaded]

Wow

Not my favorite type of techno, but technically speaking its really great.
Especially around like 1:40, the background melody layered in is just perfect.

JackLiddle responds:

Thanks ^^ appreciate it :)

[ST - Final Generation]

Great work

I think mixing wise, the main instruments overpowered the percussion a bit too much for my taste, but that may be what you wanted. Either way, it's a solid piece and when it drops out and builds back up, it's a flawless transition.

SandTraukz responds:

yeah i know the main instruments overpowered the percussion. But anyway thanks :D

[Business Time]

Smooth Jazz Vibe

I can feel this, I like the instrument and the composition. I think it's great, my only opinion would be to diversify the percussion a bit. The snare hit is a bit "hollow" sounding, and the part that repeats at 2:25 feels like it's just missing something small, I don't know. Maybe a different bass/snare combo. But overall, it's a really great piece that I can see someone singing or rapping over.

JMace responds:

Thanks for the feedback, I see what you're saying about the drums. One of these days I'll update the snare sound to something better haha.
