Semaphore's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Future is Here]

really great =)

you get better and better =)

it seems you have a talent to sing for songs which sounds like a ballad from Frank Sinatra ^^

You already play very well on your guitar now

keep it up Chris

[Work work work]

RDY for a movie

You catched really the intention of work with this song =)

Sometimes when the clash and the drum set in it's a bit harshing, maybe you can fix that with a limiter

but all in all it is a

great job ... or should I say great work work work ? =D

Greetings Semaphore

[Climbing (Uplifting war style)]

I really like it =)

I use FL Studio, Edirol Orchestral and the EWQL VST's by myself

besides the soundquality of some samples like the chor it's flawless

but nothing you can't compress with a nice mastering

it's a very lovely composition =)

I advice to set a little hall effect for all instruments especially the violins and all in a seperated mixer channel that you can change the hall-strength for every single instrument by ear but not at the drums because they would sound spongy

that would give the feeling all is far away , big and more epic in my opinion

keep up making music

Greetings Sema ^_^v

Cleverhill responds:

Hi!
Thank's for the tips!
Glad you liked it :)

["Dreaming of You" -[N]-]

a bit to harshy

I really like the soundquality and the melody but the vocoder is to harsh for the whole song

it must be softer when you fix that and reupload the song pls pm me and I will vote a 10 then =)

[Wont Forget You (Remix)]

better without vocals

the vocals are sometimes a bit out of sync

but I think it would be much better without voclas

maybe you can upload a instrumental version and send me the link =)

I will vote 10 and 5 points then ^_^v

cheers Sema

[+- Click Clock Wood -+]

OMFG!

I love the music of Banjoo Kazooie

let me fall in nostalgy ^_^v

great work =D

AikaMusic responds:

Thanks, Haha I knew fans of the game would love it. Hopefully I'm able to really do something awesome with this in the future!

[Ave Maria Sound Alike]

very good =)

I really appreciate your classical ave maria cover

philip1300 has written a very scathing remark he's rather a simple techno listener

I really like the deep sound of the piano and the clear sound of the chor

the only note I could recognize as different in compare to the original was at 0:29

and that's your free composing artwork

the only thing I would change is the higher part of the piano into a harp sound because it would be more harmonic in my opinion

apart from that it's a 10 worth because I never heard ave maria at newgrounds and in such a nice way

Cheers Semaphore =)

sorohanro responds:

Thanks for the nice review.
I didn't want to make a cover on "Ave Maria", is just a sound alike, a piece that should just remind you of the original.
The reason of making it was just to show how just by using vowels you can play tricks on listeners mind. You listen to "A-e Ai-i i-ia" but what you hear is "Ave Maria".

Anyway, today the sample patch will be online and feel free to download it and use it ;)
Check the forum in 40~50 minutes ;)

[Aero Crazy]

I love it ^_^v

the instruments sounds like midi sometimes but you really hit the feel of the song =)

it's in tact and you did a great voice part with this flute or whatever xD

Zmandestroyer responds:

Its actually part midi but i make a rough copy before the final thanks man! Got any song requests?

[An Evening In The City]

you can do it nicer =)

I really like it but I have some critism to improve the song

the all instruments should be louder less the soundeffects

the lead instrument should be audible on full pan

the beat, clap and hihat are a bit to mono and dry

some effects are missplaced ( I don't mean the tact, the tact is great) and out of harmony

maybe you should go up one octave with the leadinstrument

if you upload a new version write me pls =)
