CelestOrion's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[RPG Maker XP - Battle 2]

Great job, Blue!

Didn't even realize you were on NG. Nice track you've got up here, had a different air to it, compared to the original. This version was more relaxing. I'd like to hear some more later on.

~CelestOrion

Evan-Kaminari responds:

Thanks very much. Getting a style is fine, finding the instruments to fit is the problem. D:

[FF8:librati falti]

Aw, dammit...

Well, there goes the satisfaction of being one of the few who's pulled off the Liberi Fatali here.

Anyway, on to criticism:
It was well-written, and it might just be me, but it had a more 'innocent' atmosphere to it, compared to the original. Slower-paced, and quite calming.

Noting, though, that some of the strings sounded a bit too synth-y, to my tastes. What sort of VST do you use for your orchestra? I would suggest looking into EWQL Symphonic Orchestra for some top-notch quality.

Keep up the good work, I'd like to hear more from you later on.

~CelestOrion

dbz-dude responds:

Thanks.I use edirol orchestra vst but im currently downloading EWQL gold,so a change in the quality will happen soon i promise.once its finished downloading i might redux this song.

[Angel Island-Metaljonus]

Great Stuff

As expected from you, you've pulled off another great Sonic mix! I like the energy you added to the beginning, since the original didn't have too big of a groove compared to yours! Can't wait to hear what's next in line, bro.

Oh, you wouldn't mind if I used this track for an animated Sonic series I'm starting up here on Newgrounds, would you?

~CelestOrion

Metaljonus responds:

I completely wrecked this theme lawlz. This would make a good intro for the series imo :). Thanks for listening.

[[CrUZR] - True Area 53]

Great Piece!

Lol, looks like Deraginator hit you up, as well xD. You've done a great job with this piece, I find myself tapping my foot in beat with the tempo. Great choice of instruments, and they rhythms were right on. Can't wait to hear some more of your work in the future, 'specially that Nonaggression that you might be doing. YOU BETTER DO IT BETTER THAN I DID!! J/K

~CelestOrion

CrUiZ3R responds:

Heh. Yeah he did. But i've been working on nonagression on and off and it is changing here and there. I'll have emphasis on the leads correctly done :P.

Thanks

[Sonic2BossThemeRemake-MJ]

Great Stuff

I liked the old version, as well, but I can tell that the recording quality has improved in this one. Great job with the guitars, keep them coming out!

~CelestOrion

Metaljonus responds:

lol damn got some haters up in this place eh? fuck'em The quality is wayyyy better mang thanks for listening.

[8-bit S&K - Sky Sanctuary [XD]]

Great Job

Any good Sonic mix is worth a favorite by me. Sky Sanctuary is probably my favorite song out of the Sonic and Knuckles soundtrack, other than the Final Boss and Doomsday. Keep up the great work!

~CelestOrion

Sephirot24 responds:

Doomsday is one of my favorites too. Sonic 1, 2, 3, and S&K all have great music. There's a lot to remix =D
Thx alot for taking your time to review! Glad you like it! ^^

[loop of awesome]

horrible

This track doesn't loop very well. To do that, you have to truly feel the beat, and know where to start the song, and where to end it.
Also, there is little to no melody at all this track. If you have a keyboard, try playing some random notes until you get a feel for a certain groove, and build up from there.
The percussion was...alright. Don't get me wrong, it was okay for whatever music was even in the song, but if you work up on a melody, you'll end up having to change up the percussion to fit it, anyway.

In all honesty, you need some work on music knowledge and fundamentals before you go throwing songs into the Portal. But if you keep working at it, I'm sure that you'll improve over time.

karlkoolkid1999b responds:

no!

[We Came To Finish You!]

This is great music!

The first time I read the name, I didn't know what to expect, and when I heard the first few seconds of this track, I immediately knew that I would love this song. Great work, and keep it up!

~CelestOrion

midimachine responds:

Awesome, thank you very much :D

[Jenova's Theme Metal FF7]

Nice Piece

I like how you made the guitars lower than the original song, which gave it a different feel, which is something that I look for when listening to songs in the Audio Portal. Keep up your good work, keep playing that guitar!

~CelestOrion

speedmetalmessiah responds:

Indeed I will. Luckily I'm not the only person who was a fan of shifting the guitars down. Thanks for the review.

[Collosal Collaboration Up]

Epic

I'm quite impressed how you developed the piano line in the beginning, and the echo was fitting. I really wasn't expecting some 8-BIT tracks to enter the song, either, but you have done a great job on incorporating the two together. I'll be sure to stay updated on your work, I would like to hear more tracks from you like this.

Haha, thanks dude :)
