Practitioner's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Block 13]

There's a ton of potential in this. A lot of it sounded legitimately pretty badass. Maybe just work on the transitions a bit and try to marry the roughness to itself a bit better when you've got it all going at once. You do a good job putting it all down but it seems like it needs a little extra in some places to feel like more than a sick beat. I can't really tell you what the extra would be, so this can't be all that useful to you, but I do really dig it and I'll be watching your stuff.

[Pensive thoughts]

Beautiful. I love the arrangement. Also like your reverbs, which I've seen a lot of on pianos but less so where it actually adds something. Pretty good overall.

lantaren responds:

thank you, technically it's a delay, but there is also slight reverb on the piano it's self. I think this is probably my most beautiful song being that I didn't throw in a break beat and any electronic sounds at all.

This is really nice. I love the symbolism you described in your comments. It's really cool thinking of the music as a medium in that sense as well.

The music builds really nicely, and the way the instruments come in in sequence is nice, but maybe there could have been something more distinct from the rest in there to complement such a nice arrangement, like a break where a different arrangement comes in, but I guess that could work against the loop if it isn't done well.

Great work overall.

Jade-the-X9ian responds:

Okay, so I guess I'll have to experiment with different melodies, then.

Thanks for the advice! ^_^ I really appreciate those!

This is pretty cool. I'd put more work into some of the effects to try and get a more novel sound in some spots, and maybe switch out to some sort of break with a different core pattern eventually, then return to the main line. That's all kinda just me though. Feels like the point of this was more to try out all the different things with the main line so it kind of makes sense that there's no break.

Anyway, I'm just rambling. It isn't bad at all, but I'd revisit it later on. I like the way it goes out though.
