Semaphore's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Icicle Rain]

I really like this one. It's dreamy has good chords, good sound quality, nice amount of reverb and the most important it has soul =)

Couldn't had done it better

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thanks, that means a lot coming from such an awesome musician as you! :D
I've grown to like this piece more and more over the years, although I didn't think that big of it when I first made it :p
It definitely has soul though, as all genuine improvisations and compositions tend to have XD

[Your Bright Side]

I love your songs always a pleasure when it comes to audio quality and harmony in a complex way =)

Normally drums bother me in that kind of quite music but you connect them so well with the rest of all instruments that it fits perfectly, your style is unique here on Newgrounds and I enjoy it very much.

And a question from composer (you) to hobby composer (me =D) Which Soundlibraries for the instruments do you use? They are so crystal clear I have to know

Greetings Sema

vibe-newgrounds responds:

Hi there. Thank you for reviewing me. :)
The question is not "What library do you use", but "What do you do to make your sound clear". I believe the key is in the way of using EQ, reverb and stereo panning. If you don't like the timbre, change it. If you can't hear a specific instrument in the mix - remove it because it doesn't add anything to your music. Pay attention to dynamics and imitating real playing for some parts: humanization, micro-delays.
The instruments are my usual Native Instruments Kontakt Library, Miroslav Philharmonic, Garritan's Giga Harp, Linplug Albino, MusicLab RealGuitar etc.

[Within You S6N9]

Hey shadow6nothing9 I really like it. It reminds me of the 28 Days Later theme too. But that's not a prob at all =) never stop doing music ;)

Cheers

[Silent Hill Promise]

The first movie scared the hell out of me and all in all is silent hill the horror itself for me. This song is the only thing from silent hill you transformed in a good thing ^^ thanks for that. Sry I write this comment so late but I had to break out from silent hill first ...wait did I heard a siren?

[Coldplay-Fix You (vd RMX)]

I love the original and this is an equivalent cover =)

viewtifulday responds:

Thank you :) That means a lot!

[Childhood Passing By]

I wish I had such inspiration and talent for piano pieces. This really brings my emotional stress level down. A smooth modern classical piano piece like that is seldom to find on Newgrounds. Stay on this way =)

Greetings Semaphore

BlazingDragon responds:

Your piano pieces aren't bad at all. I like how you don't strictly quantize or stick to a metronome.

Thanks very much! :)

[Silent Owl - Aeria]

This is more than just a few notes together ... these are feelings.

I love all of your pieces.

Never give up on making music =)

vibe-newgrounds responds:

I won't. Thank you. :)

[Unfinished Shit]

Krussi just one thing.

COME BACK!

[Eternal Eclipse]

This is absolutely on of my favourite songs on Newgrounds.

The samples, mastering, soundquality, harmony, instruments, effects, building, variation, melody and complexity is just perfect.

I will vote as much as I can that this will be on the " Best ever" list one day =)

Greetings

just a fan Sema
