NightCrawler's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Moondance]

Hmmm.

I'd say it's VERY lacking in confidence. I know this song can be fantastic if you guys just play it with a lot more enthusiasm and kick.

Otherwise, it's fair I'd say.

XanRethan responds:

I think that probably hits the nail on the head. We weren't one of Those Schools with the HUGE jazz bands... but we made do with what we had. Our saxes were playing very quiet and laid back... but i don't know if it would have been better if i'd led the trumpets to play too loudly rather than blending like we tried to. Thanks for the review.

[Sad Samba]

Good, but...

This song was delivered fairly well but I believe your jazz band should try to challenge itself more and choose even more difficult songs. The sax solo was nice, though it seemed lacking a overall story. The drums (which I see that you played) did have some kick and kept the song together very well, so props to you.

The recording isn't the best, but you get the overall idea if you can stretch the imagination a bit. But yea, maybe you can suggest to your professor some more challenging music. Maybe stuff from Count Basie.

[..Rise..]

Awesome.

I was really able to feel this. Some notes I didn't quite agree with, because it seemed like the different sections kind of clashed. Otherwise, this is just great. A lot better than all the other 'jazz' in the audio portal. (I put quotations, because this is one of the few that I would actually agree with being Jazz).

[Ball Game - Nyack Jazz]

A clever twist!

On an old classic. This was nice. Some intonation problems here and there, but few. The singing was also a little quiet, but I see that's because this was a live performance. The abrupt ending was very strange, but I laughed.

Anyway, yea this was really good. I cant wait to see more.

[LoZ - Beauty of Zora's Domain]

Excellent

Let me just say right off the bat that this is excellent. Far better than most of the crap in the audio portal.

Now to help you out. I forget what they are called, I think the are called Chimes. I hope you know what I'm referring to. Anyway, they last a little too long. As if each time they appear, they dont cut off as crisply as the rest of the song is. I'm not saying to remove them, but rather to end them at the appropriate time.

Really, other than that, I can't think of anything else wrong. I especially love the harmonies you have at around 40 seconds. Just phenominal.

[NGaiden-Bzlsk mnfld (RazorMix)]

Phenominal

I love listening to his, and have listened to it for a while now. I seriously, like others before, cant understand how this doesn't have above a 4.5! It doesn't make any sense!!

Dj-Rec0il responds:

yeh its a sahme its below that but hell life isnt fair sometimes :). at least you liked it and left a rev after you :) im happy you liked it

[5 Year Penance]

Hey whats up?

Yea, congrats on your five years! May the next five years be filled with absolute HELL! No I am just messing with you. I like this song, it was well put together. I liked some of the loops, they fit together nicely. Anyway, keep on doing your analysisissis. (I am so good at spelling!) Ok, this is the end...

my only friend....the end. Ok seriously, KUTGW, peace.

Zerok responds:

Thanks. Some of the transitions were sloppy though. Whatever, I'll get better.

[ParagonX9 - Defection]

This was great

I just have one question. What program do you use in order to make your music, i dont care if it cost money or not, but i would really like to know. Please contact me somehow (check profile) in order to tell me. Your cooperation would be GREATLY appreciated. Anyway, loved this song. KUTGW!!!
