DreamEater's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Lonely Heart]

Cool Groove!

This is pretty shweet; I really enjoyed the beginning.
The slow fade in from the instruments at 0:06 and 0:25 sounds great!
The ambiance of everything in this track is pretty cool, and all of your Instruments seem to fit pretty nicely together.

After a Couple minutes of listening to this, It became pretty obvious that your drums here are just a nice-sounding loop... and you only changed up the beat once... at the very end. So that knocked a star off right away (try not to use loops unless they are layered and change). I was pretty disappointed to not hear a break-down in this song as well. Don't be afraid to change it up!

All in all, this is solid... but needs work
Great effort!

Thanks for the review! This is difficult to talk about, because you can't respond to this, but I didn't actually use a loop for the drums, I layered them completely by myself (no loops at all were used actually). It didn't really occur to me to make a breakdown, it didn't really seem appropriate for the song, maybe I'll could give it a try in anything else I make within this genre.

[Journey to the Afterlife]

Epic!!

This totally reminds me of something that you would hear in like Halo or M.G.S. Incredible Work Steph!

Love the orchestral elements of this song sooo much dude; The Strings and piano fit together beautifully.
I also really like the dynamics behind this song, and the driving drum rhythm that breaks in completely tops it off.
The mastering sounds brilliant AF... what can I say?...
except this track is a masterpiece!

Amazing work bro

Step responds:

Wow thanks! Really glad you like so many different things in this song. I'm also surprised you compared this to MGS soundtrack, because I've always loved that soundtrack :P.

Thanks a lot for the review!

[Faith in Motion]

Soundscapey

And that's cool, cause I really dig stuff like that :P...

This submission is pretty cool, and also very creepy x.x
The vocal work in this is pretty dope, and the instrumentation is very unique.

The transitions in this song aren't quite as smooth and chilling as the instruments themselves though, maybe work some kind of drums into this and echo effects to help bridge a transition together?

Just an idea :P

Great Effort!

SoulSecure responds:

Well, the sudden halting and commencement of the different parts was intentional.

Bullets fly fast, but thoughts fly faster.

[Long Gone (Bugg)]

Dope

Love the chill intro; the mixture of glitchy/echo instrumentation here is brilliant.
The Build around 1:00-1:30 seconds is incredible, and the low-pass filter effect over the drums sounds really cool.
Big props to you on the super dope background ambiance, and bass groove; very very sick.

Can't hear much that I would change about this track bro; I love how chill and unique this piece is .
Absolutely Brilliant Work!

Thank you very much :)

[In F]

Cool beans!

Nice to hear something on newgrounds that actually in key!
This tune has a very happy-uppity feel to it that I can dig :p

I really wish you would have gotten a little more creative with the melody in this song though; Many parts of this song were very repetitive, and the instruments got kind of got irritating after a while x.x

This song lacks instrument change and dynamics.
It's awesome that you wrote this song in one key... now change it up brotha! :D
also change the pace up a little :p

Great effort!

The-iMortal responds:

Thank you for the review! The reason this sounds so repetitive is because the melody is supposed to be replaced by vocals.

[[dB] Sleepwalker]

This is pretty dope!

I love the drum loops used in this one, and that accordion sample lead thing is sick.
The breaks in this sound great also, I loved the clarity of the samples.
The mastering was a big plus in this one as well (very nice work).

Couple things bugged me though
- A lot of this song sounded (Loopy)
- The lead samples that come in at about 1:00 sound really muddy and spread out.

Great work nonetheless!

Thanks for the awesome review! :)

[Re-Collect - Venus]

Very smooth tune!

Loved the choice of instruments in this song, very well chosen and mixed.
The drum kit you used for this sounds super tight, the leads sound crisp, and most of all the sub-bass sounds fantastic! Also, the ambiance behind this one was incredible!

Aside from the technical elements of this composition, I really enjoyed the fast-paced feel behind everything.

All in all
This track is pretty fckin awesome
Incredible effort

Thanks again. :D I'm glad you enjoyed the track so much. I enjoyed making it. Thanks for reviewing. :)

[Stargenx - Justice (Alt. End.)]

Same Review; Alternate Ending

I loved the orchestral opening accompanied with the piano; makes you feel as if something huge is starting. A master-plan taking effect, and spreading across the globe; or even as if the whole world is joining together to defeat a great evil.
The guitar work in this was also great! Loved the note harmonization, and not-too-harsh tones as well.
The mastering on this must have been some pretty beastly work, but it sounds like you blended all of your samples real and artificial, very nicely :)

There's not much about this track that I would change.
This is pretty incredible, and definitely close movie soundtrack material!

I noticed this version was shorter than the original as well; personally, I like the longer one.
It seems much more professional sounding, and dynamic.

Great Work!

Stargenx responds:

Thanks for taking the time to review both! I just put this one up, in case people wanted a different ending, my favourite is the other version too.
