Surkol's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Town]

It sounds fitting for a town theme. So you nailed that. I would like it more if the drums were more retro sounding. ♡✧( ु•⌄• )

ScottJacob responds:

I was thinking more traditional acoustic drums would fit nicely with the small town theme. Keeping it simple with woodblocks and bells, giving it an eastern feel. Retro drums could fit nicely too though. I appreciate the feedback, thank you!

[Don't Let Me Go]

This is great! Would be cool if you also had some gritty bass in it too. | ・ ෴ ・ |

SimonVonck responds:

thank you! <3 I'll keep that in mind for my next future bass song ;)

[Ascending]

Nic! The drop at 1:15 could have been better. The thing that I didn't like with it was the slow cutoff effect used when the sound comes back. The sounds should start instantly after the drop. Maybe try doing something like Zedd with 1 clap and then the beat starts again. Like "Stay the night" at 2:46.
GL to ya ! ( ◞･౪･)

RiSUKU responds:

Alrighty, thanks for the tip :)

[The Night (Delight's Plight OST)]

Najs strings. Love the bass/woosh transition at 1:58. I can't put my finger on it but the piano part at 2:00 sounds like something I've heard. Like a Castlevania theme. I think maybe you could've used a better synth sound for the pattern at 0:22 but it sounds better in the later parts.
Cheers! (◕(‘ 人 ‘) ◕)

MysteriousPresence responds:

Ow hey thanks for the review ! Mate it's so satisfying when someone just review your track because why not ? =D
I love this transition and those strings too ! :P It's actually a fusion between a staccato violin (which plays the melody) and a staccato cello (which plays the chords) !
To be honest I just made this part of the melody without thinking at anything else, so it may look like something that already existed ! :3
Oh I actually love this synth, but the game version, which I will maybe upload, has a piano instead ! ^^
Thanks again ! =)

[Far Away]

Really n1. You should be able to get a glimpse of what the whole song is gonna sound like from the start like a Pilot and you nailed that. I don't feel there's a real hook in the song but I like it anyway. It sounds a bit cluttered with the synths around the 1 minute mark, maybe you could've dampened the synths or something to make space for the vocals. (゜▼゜＊）

TenodiBoris responds:

well thank you very much for detailed review,I find helpful when people actualy listen to my songs and comment...every criticism is welcome I look forward for more of those.

Th0ma5 responds:

[nebula blender]

Well made as usual. Got me thinking about Harvest Moon for some reason.

johnfn responds:

Thanks! Never played or listened but hey

[Robot Factory]

Great stuff here. I like the sounds. One thing though, I thought (maybe wished) it would be a higher tempo at 00:17.

:D

wellie responds:

thanks, i was thinking of doing something like that. might do it in my next track :)
