Emid's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nami - By The Sword]

Man what an incredible piece! I always get inspiration from you and try to improve myself. You are a very very talented musician mate. I pray all the best to you.

Mattashi responds:

Thanks a lot Emid! This piece was quite different and a challenge since I had to write this for CrabbWalker's animation so I had to make sure it would fit the scenes. This was also my first time scoring for an animation :)

[Epic Trailer-Live Die Repeat]

This is pro quality dude. Very well structured and true trailer music as you wanted it to be. I can imagine how much work you've put into it. I don't have any suggestions; you are in the right direction. Looking forward to hear more from you.

SteveSyz responds:

Thanks so much Emid! I worked really hard on this one and I'm always looking to improve in the future :D glad you liked it!

[Jungle Life Original Compositi]

Fourth song?? Can't believe! Well done.
Try more variations, make it feel full and play with dynamics if you are into trailer type music. This piece is very very nice but static. Give life to your music by putting soul into it. Just a humble suggestion. Bravo and keep it up.

SteveSyz responds:

Thanks alot Emid :D I've learnt a lot since this track and i am definitely switching up the dynamics and such for my tracks! looking forward to improve :P

[Coronation - PT - WIP]

Hauntingly beautiful and elegant. Vocals are exceprional as well as their translation. Would like to hear the full version when available.

Given that this is just a mock up, I would refrain from commenting on the techicalities apart from one thing that I think strings are louder than the voice burying the vocals behind. Also strings are too wet. But again I can assume the final version will be fantastic. Looking forward.

Jessismith responds:

Thank you. And yeah, the strings are really muddy, and the vocal is turned down due to quality of the mic I was using to record the vocal. The final version, once finally released as a soundtrack version, will hopefully sound much better. :D

[The Shaman Transcends]

Been a long time since you submitted something. Glad you are back.

Its not what you usually do but good stuff. Sampling world has changed the trend and original music seems to be rare now. Good job by using the original instruments and transformed them into a mythical storyline. Hope we hear more from Lord Samulis :)

samulis responds:

Hey Emid! Glad to see you are around. I'm waiting for YOU to submit something myself!

I've been really busy working on some scoring stuff, so I haven't been able to put much up lately, but I have been working my tail off! ;)

[Tomb Of The Ancients]

Extremely pro with the typical game mood. I can't praise enough you compositions now. I enjoy each and every track you upload.

Mattashi responds:

Thank you Emid :)

[The Weapon]

I am really getting more and more impressed by your quality of mixing/mastering and not writing ability. Why? Because your writing has always been inspiring and intuitive. Seriously, as a doctor I want to dissect your brain to know what's going on in it lol...hehe. I second what MrBellington said below. You seriously need to work on your album now.

Mattashi responds:

Hahaha thanks Emid! xD
tell you what you can have a look at my brain in exchange for 10 new songs from you :P (I would love to hear an album from you aswell!)

[The Nightingale Order]

What!!!
What a sick piece, love it with all my heart. Yes it does have some Two step from Hell elements. I am working on a piece and I was kinda stuck at a point and I admit this has opened a door of creativity in me. Very well done Alex! Yes I wish it was a little longer.

LunyAlex responds:

Sorry for the extremely late response, hah, a lot has been happening.

Thank you very very much for your kind words and input. I'm very glad you liked it and that bit about opening a creative door made me glow with happiness, hah.

Again, thanks a lot!

[Lili's Song]

Beautiful song, awesome composition and lyrics. Though there are some elements I don't like which is only a matter of taste. Well done!

GhostLawyer responds:

Thank you very much!

[The Place of a Skull]

I like that you know what you are doing. Things are not abstract (as it seems) but connected. The only minor thing I would go for is to fade the atonality at 4.15 till not heard. But this is not even a suggestion but a matter of choice. Very well done.

Phonometrologist responds:

I like to think I know what I'm doing, but really I cannot say that I know how these things will turn out. I sometimes doubt what comes out is really me as I have no idea at moments. Your personal preference was definitely an option, but I don't want people to think the contrast between parts had no connection at all and by thinking that they were two separate pieces.
Thank you for the time as I know it is perhaps even more precious to you in how you spend it.
