AppleJack's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The last supper (v3)]

This is a really nice piece that contains really nice melodic pitches, has a good tempo, nice rhythm, and dynamics were overall good. The intro was very nicely done, and i loved how the drums kicked in at 0:37. It was very nice to listen to, and the musical blend here is very nicely done. The guitar was a nice touch to the end.

I only identified a few flaws in which i thought could be perfected a bit:

When using that organ synth in 1:44, the pitch was really high, and kinda hard to listen to for the first 10-20 seconds afterwords, but the synth got bearable when other synths kicked in at 2:18. Also, a few notes in between these time periods didn't make to much sense, in terms of dynamics; you had a few high notes, then a few low notes, and then high again.

The song, at times, sounded "monotonous" when the tune was repeated over and over again. Sure, you used different synths with the same notes, but the tune is so overused, that the song sounds boring.

Also, at 2:44, the pitch was a bit too high, and kinda hrt my ears, so tune it down a bit.

3:21, the transition could be worked on a bit.

So really, the summary here is that i hate the part from 1:44 to 3:21, everything else had a nice musical blend and had good pitches and all. I think you need to make the pieces melodically consistent throughout the piece, as some places really didn't work out so well with one another in making sense in terms of musical melody. All in all, you did a pretty good job, and I enjoyed this piece.

MaartenC responds:

Thanks for your review mate. I'll take a good look at it. I also found that the pitch at the first climax was a tad too high, though it's quite hard to fix that. FL Studio kinda gets stuck at that point.

[It's Complicated...]

cut the beat to 120-140 and i think it will be fine
otherwise the tuning and sounds are nice.

TastyTeo responds:

I wanted it that fast to be a mindblowing melody. the tuning is not good the beat is not loud enough :D Thanks for the review.

[GEMINIjU -Indecisive Ways]

i felt that the intro was a bit weak and didnt really match the song very well, and didnt really go with the tune. however, the song later on got better and (i think) from 1:20 it got better.
I feel like this song was like many sounds just jammed together, and not much has been put into this, for the transitions weren't that good....
otherwise this is a good song, just a bit rough on the edges....

Great song as usual! loved the beat, rhythm, and dynamics. the sounds are superb and i loved the melody.
just wondering, what happened to the vocals of this song? are you going to upload that version of this song here?

keosni391 responds:

Don't think so. Didn't like the vocals! :)

[Recursive Glee]

This is a great song! i loved the beat and melody in the song, but really, the intro was WEAK!
first off, the intro didnt really fit it''s tune with the song very well, i think, and i think even the instrument was off i think. otherwise, this song is amazing/
Great job!
