Valtanen's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mural OST - Drifting]

This gives a feeling of hope. Having goosebumps right now.

And.. I think I have something in me eye.

Got to try sometimes myself doing these kinds of songs. Might be worth trying. How long did this take that you got this awesome song?

BlazingDragon responds:

The original song from a couple of years ago probably took around seven hours to make. Making this version for the short film probably took another seven.

I'd love to hear you try making some orchestral music. Thank you for your kind review. :)

[First to Those Peaks]

Very nice, how much did it cost to make this? :D
And how long did it take?

CFox responds:

Well it's all synthesized so the only cost was the cost of the computer/software that I use... which altogether cost around 5k... although I didn't pay it all at once, I've been slowly building my setup over the past few years whenever I have the money.
This track I did in one day, which was about 12 hours... sometimes when I get really into a track I lose track of time and just plug away until its finished... which can be a bad thing because sometimes I forget to do things like eat. :p Thanks for voting!

[In my mind]

It was good, until that peepy sound came in 0:55. The notes doesn't really fit in there with those chords.. But then it disappeared.. :D Here we go again..

You should fix that little problem there. :)

And the song is clipping.

Otherwise, nice song, just some little errors there but they are fixable.

Djcheezyful responds:

i am then im going to re-upload this it took me 2 hours to make but i'll will fix it today!

[Seamless]

Surprisingly well mastered and mixed. I like it. :)

but in the 2:23 part you should have put some reverb or something in that hihat, in my opinion.

Subliminalvids responds:

Thanks!

[TTCD - 1 - Zansevelt (intro)]

Nice

Beautiful piano in the end. I like it :) but the other things sound a little retro -styled game music and I don't really like that kind of video game music.

Calamaistr responds:

thats ok, i used a wide array of instrumentations, this album type (ttc) style has always been a combination of classical and retroesc electronic instrumentations. :)

alot of thanks for reviewing, youre the first that reviews something of mine in a month or two.

[TL - Distant Light [trance]]

made me more happy :D

great work.

one critic I have in mind is that it's pretty repetitive

TeHLoY responds:

thanks! Though, trance music is made to be repetitive, its the progression that counts the most.

[Sygnus]

1 question..

Why you didn't put hihats in this?

christho responds:

Well, i think i kinda forgot. But the song was never fully finished anyway.

[Desperate Times (WIP)]

ok..

first off,
to me this isn't trance.

This is too messy for it.

Trance is not meant to be so intence, if I'm right

PainasaurusRex responds:

In response I present to you the Tetris Trance song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ajytxx Pkt0c

However, I can agree that it's probably not suppose to be intense but I couldn't really think of where to put this.
