TheZaaL's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Pokemon TV Theme (Metal)]

Yes, you could have compressed it, but I'll take as it is :P

Cannot see any flaw... exept if you want me to sound like a jerk :P There ARE some things ticking me, but they are so small and insignificant that you could easily go without, because it sounds awesome as-is!

Things ticking me:

First time I hear it without the high-pitch main riff!
Somehow different... weird :P

Lacks of punch and clarity in the kick, mabe try boosting high-mid and high-end a little bit.

Good job, keep it up!

RobSoundtrack responds:

Thanks for the continued reviewage, Zaal!

[Infinite Power]

You know what?? There's always something sounding bizzare, limit wrong in your tracks. Master is ok as usual, now can you try to make something coherent??

For the loop, select "wrap remainder", it'll help.

BowserThedestructive responds:

You never seem never not misunderstand...

The song was already rendered with wrap remainder.. but how I made the song is why it is not able to perfectly loop but to me it loops pretty fine. My misunderstanding to you is what do you mean by something sounding bizarre "limit" wrong in my tracks." your sentence does not make sense. I produce with very good VSTs, also this is coherent. In my eyes its PURE EXPRESSION OF SOUND. Now that's not to say to I am not working to produce coherent tracks but this is was a spur of the moment track. If you think something is wrong in a track in which I do not hear even with the studio headphones I have, be more specific and more detailed ;). Because I am starting to think its your speaker/output is what is making you hear something that I do not...

[Untitled]

Ohhh, that's why you love that idea!!

-0.5 because the looping seems somewhat odd...

Definitively faving you!

Troisnyx responds:

Thank you! ^_^ I'm really glad you love this piece.

[Finished Symphony REMIX]

Bad note at 3:00!!! :P But I can understand if it was on the original, because 3:15 was somehow ok.

Pudding to you!!

Cahzmana responds:

theoretically we would say the same :)
it cant be done if you look it up in books or whatever.
but it needed to be done since there wasnt any other note to fit with the next lines.
thanks for your time mang ^_^

[Restless Dawn]

Each time I'm like "Oh, another one!!! YAY!!"

Sriously, though, have you ever thought of making "THA SONG OF YOUR LIFE" or something like that???

Or is it already done??

OcularNebula responds:

You want me to make something better than all my other stuff, something UBER EPIC SUPER AMAZING?!?!? Well, to be honest, I get pretty excited about all of my songs while I'm producing them and right after I'm done I marvel at the result... But then, after listening to them for some time, I get bored and have to write something new. That's part of where my inspiration comes from. I can't really name the "best" song I've written. From this year, I probably like Extatica the most, and it's also the most popular, so that seems right...

Or were you talking about a song about my life, literally? Or like, a really long song? I'm always a bit afraid of tackling really large/ambitious projects in fear of disappointing myself if it falls short of expectations...

[TimmY - Elyda(WiP)]

Well, you sure know how to sign your works, and that's niice!

Reverb + Cahz = AWESOMENESS

Srously though, I'm lucky you're the only one abusing of it on my mp3, or else I would go crazy!

Cahzmana responds:

i beg your pudding sir,
the abusing started when i was born.
im 20 years old now.
so, interrogate my creators for further info lol.
and no, there was no such thing as a manual back in that time,
they had to do everything by hand, and head. if you feel what i mean.
like a bad day at a summer party.
and you have to outsmart everyone.
you cant just rollover and expect people to take it like that.
but hey sorry about this nonsense makes no sense.

thanks for your time again,
and for everyone else, i read everything, and i know you smiled.
even if it was for a short moment OR deep within your thoughts.
smiling makes me happy lol.

[Mayhem]

You could try FL Stereo Enhancer, really helping widening the sound when starting from 1 sample... or narrowing down when it's too full!! But I guess I'm too late :P

You nailed it!! Totally!

Great job!!

RobSoundtrack responds:

Thanks Zaal!
Good to hear from you

[Odyssey of Centuries]

That special style you have hitting those guitar notes is really unique, each time I hear one of your track it hits me like "Oh, that's DanJohansen!"

I gotta say though that sometimes it gets annoying, because you apply this exact same style to totally different music(reffering to older songs from you(really older :P)). Now while those songs are 'good' by themselves, the difference in genre is so drastic that it doesn't quite add up in my head, and usually I tend to skip those in my MP3.

But this time YOU NAILED IT!!!

DanJohansen responds:

Well, I have a wide range of styles I prefer to make, I know that all these different styles and ways of creating music will appeal to totally different audiences, which is something I accept and expect. But I wont limit my creativity though just to appeal to the same set of audience.

You should listen to my Chinese Dynasty track and you'll probably go: WTF is this!? This isn't ''trademark'' style Dan Johansen. But one thing I have in common with all my pieces, is that I focus on creating melodies that I hope stick with people after hearing them, I never make atmosphere-only music.

Anyways, glad you dig this one! ROCK ON! And thanks for your time :)

[Guardian Of The Garden]

Ok, so there's a lot of akward/bizarre/limit wrong (pretty sure, it would sound different (in a good way) otherwise) notes, which explain my note.

This is not jazz, for example passage like 1:26 is not belonging in this type of music.

Not much more to say!

BowserThedestructive responds:

Well of course not the stuff I make really doesn't have a genre jazz was the closest I could pick because of the elements I used. But thanks anyway ;). This song was meant to be bizarre and stuff but I liked how it sounded so I went with it.

[Testing My New Piano]

Hohoho!! Approved!

DesoloZ responds:

lol XD
