K-Pone's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Testing]

Seems like you know how LMMS works. Well done.

TheMagicCape1 responds:

Thanks for the feedback! :)

[It began from a village theme]

Awesome. May you could fill the quiet parts in the middle of the song a bit with some ambience (maybe some reverb or some wind noise). Anyway, excellent use of the Sonatina Orchestra. And again a very cool song showing what kinda cool things LMMS is capable of.

Jernemies responds:

Duly noted. Thanks for the rev :)

[Perpetual Headbang (FDA)]

I like it. Quite simple but cool. Maybe you should add the reference to the original Song to the project instead of only putting it into the description.

Clatform responds:

Done aaand done!
Thanks a lot friend!

[Look Up]

I wonder how this would sound if you'd leave teh limiter/copressor on the kick drum away. I think it would sound a bit nicer.

Geoplex responds:

I'm trying to emulate pretty strong kicks (stan sb, Lazslo, etc) so that's really not the direction I'm trying to go in, sorry :p (i would never limit a kick, and only the click in this track is compressed. I think your comment might be more directed at the samples I'm using.)

[-+[Scarborough Fair]+-]

Beautiful, really beautiful. I love your voice. It fits the atmosphere of the song so well. The composition is also really great. I wonder if I'd ever make it to write some lyrics for a song of mine.

LadyArsenic responds:

=) Thank you so much! I'm really glad that people recognize the composition as well as my vocals. I believe in you! If you write some lyrics maybe you can toss them to me some time and I'll record them ;D

[groove machine]

Sounds pretty good. I think I know what you mean with 'stolen'. The main melody reminds me a bit of 'Sign Your Name' by Terence Trent D'Arby. Anywa, it's quite nice what you made, and it's not stolen at all, just a bit similar.

johnfn responds:

Ha yeah it does kinda sound a little like that song. I've never heard that song before so it's just an interesting coincidence I guess. (Also, I think my variation is slightly better than his ;-) ;-))

Thanks for leaving a review :)

[SkyDrive]

There's one thing on this song which is really annoying to me. Whenever the kick drum is played, this forces the limiter to 'overlimit' all the rest. On normal speakers you might not notice it that hard, but since I'm using headphones most of the time to listen to music, this is really awful in my opinion. Anyway, I like the rest of the song!

Geoplex responds:

Yeah, just noticed I uploaded the wrong mix. Fixing :P

[snowfall in an empty land]

Kinda like this experiment. Somehow it reminds me of a remix tune from remix.kwed.org. The one I mean is the remix of Trick Bag by Mordi and DJ Skitz. If you'd like to listen to that, it can be found here: http://remix.kwed.org/?search_id=4839
(remove spaces, if newgrounds is still putting them in there automatically)
It's the acoustic piano at the beginning that reminds me to that.

johnfn responds:

HAHA WOW

Yes I was TOTALLY inspired by this. In fact, I had initially listened to it a lot years ago, but then stopped and in fact I totally forgot the name of the song! Now that you point out it's a Trick Bag remix I found the one that initially resonated with me:

http://remix.kwed.org/files/RKOfiles/Dafunk%20-%20Trick%20Bag%20(modified).mp3

Such a beautiful song... Dafunk (the guy who made it) is just amazing.

In fact one of the main reasons I switched up the chord progression in the second part is that It was feeling a little too samey to that song. Also, I couldn't write anything nearly as good as the main melody line in that piece, which is adsfjbeautiful.

Anyway thanks for the review and blast from the past :D
