decoyultimatum's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chaoz Fantasy - Orchestral]

ok here me out

i play in 3 different orchestras so please take my advise
ok your orchestral sounds srry to be hating but could sound a bit more realistic but hey if this is what you were going then fine but thats just one thought
my other problem is your instruments are hitting too hard the only instruments that can really hit the way your makeing them over and over are the trumpet cello flute and piccilo for moving notes like those let all your other instruments ease into it a bit more some of the stuff your pumping out would kill some profesionals (not literally) in the future please keep these things in mind i believe you have a lot of potential im only trying to help by giving you the opinion of an actual orcheasta player (i play double bass :D) from the bottom of my heart if you make anything else pm me id love to listen to it

Beforez responds:

Thanks for your review!

To be honest, I only used some presets which came with Logic and Nexus for the orchestra. And you're right, I'd better keep some variation in the velocity of the notes. Thanks, I'll keep this in mind when I'm making something new.

I'm sorry I killed you :(

[Orchestral Metal Piece 1]

another great one :)

my only problem is it took just a little to long to get into it but if i was just listening to it while playing a hard boss battle or something it wouldnt make any difference definatly a piece that would be way better in a game or movie but from a stand point of just wanting to listen to music i belive it couldve goten to the point sooner and had a bit more diversity but thats just me still a great piece

Gravey responds:

I actually love the intro, but no song will please everyone. ;-)

Thanks for the review.

[[NB] Megaman2 Wily stage1 WIP]

you know

you have to be one of my most respected artists on newgrounds i really like what you have done with this song its not to different but still really good i think you could have built to the climax a wee bit better but its ok the way it is thanks for another great remix

weemeee responds:

haha thanks for the review man! :) Appreciate it.

[Piano World]

nice

for something that developed i would have liked more layers also the orchestral pad you used could have been a bit easier on the attack i feel it hit a little to hard

smilingpig67 responds:

Hey good thinking; I've worked with Garageband for about 2 and a half years now, and the orchestral section never really satisfied me... I'll see what I can do with the EQ for future songs... but thanks! :D

[Hero intermission]

um srry

i hate to be harsh but i think its best for beginers the entry was very rough to be honest it didnt really sound good at all srry it got a git better in the middle though i think you could be better by at least adding some layers the lack of harmony background makes it sound vintage also that added sfx at 1:01 dosent sound good

demonrunner23 responds:

ehh swing and a miss

[Decisive]

ok kool

i really like the melody and the way the music flows but i warn that the intro was a little drug out

AvizuraNG responds:

Aha! Well, thanks decoyultimatum!

[-|FROST|-]

ok um wow

the begining was kinda rough and it was a little slow but overall i really loved this song the composition is great please tell me what program you used to make this

15thDimension responds:

I used FL Studio to make this. It's a great program.

[Carol of the Bells X-mas]

another great piece

the only thing and its probably just my preference but the electric guitar its well in my opinion kind of a dominant instrument i would have liked to her the guitar having a bit more aggressive dynamics. it just kinda sounds muted like its just harmony if that's what you were going for then that's fine i'm just giving my opinion also just out of curiosity i am a music creator and i've been looking for a different program something that uses more realistic music the music that ill be putting on here soon is more of a techno type of thing but i would like to make some more orchestral music id like it if you could comment or pm me about your current program please and thank you

Gravey responds:

The guitar's intent was to primarily be a base for the rest of the ensemble to stand upon. It is not intended to be the main focus of the piece in any way. The idea was for it to create a sort of driving pulse for the rest of the ensemble to build upon.

As for what I use, I primarily use EastWest products for all my needs.

Thanks for the review.
