Mattashi's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[After Us]

This is a great piece! Kind of gave me a "The Last of Us" vibe :) Really loved that part that starts at 01:57.
I have to agree with Emid though, lots of instruments seem to be in the center. don't be afraid to pan some instruments far left or right!
Great song! would love to hear more from you :D

Thonz responds:

I loved the soundtrack of The Last of Us, so it definitely influenced me with this and I'm glad it's noticeable. Means I'm doing something right :). It's really overwhelming to get such good reviews from great musicians like yourself and Emid. Thanks for taking the time to review my piece. I'll work on the panning!

[[Wr] 14: Epilogue/Credits]

Beautiful composition! A shame the game wasn't finished because the music is amazing, I hope other people will make good use of it.
Nice work Samulis!

samulis responds:

Thanks dude! Glad you liked it. :)

[Lost Ruin of Zodra]

What a beautiful piece! some of the melodies reminded me of some of Yasunori Mitsuda work.
Would fit perfectly in a game.
Good job :)

VideoGameManiac responds:

Thank you, I feel honored :D

[Rejected Trailer Music 2]

Very interesting sounds! Was wondering what is The Shelter about?
It sounds very dark almost horror like. A shame it got rejected, maybe someone else could make good use of it.
Nice work!

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

It's all cool. The Shelter is a very unique movie...horror, sad, awesome. The score I did for the trailer should be released this week. And I get to score the whole movie, so I'm not sad. I am the composer. :) I have a few other tidbits of sound from other movie promos I could probably put here too, that weren't used. Cheers for the review, mang. Been a long time since I seen you about!

[Spacewalk]

Awesome track Mawnz, pleasant song to listen to, has a nice catchy melody.
I was gonna say the bass sounds fine to me but then I read you made some changes to it :P
I think the loop is a little bit off I think that's because the final bar doesn't end completely.
Nice work and good luck!

Mawnz responds:

hey glad to hear from you man! I made it cut off since it looped worse before, but yea it's very sudden so I should look into it. Glad it was pleasant listening to it at least!

Thanks for listening and the review, best of luck to you too!!

[Tron Shredder]

Love this track! it sounds very retro, not sure if you ever played Blood Dragon (Far Cry 3)?
It made me instantly think of the music from that game. Very catchy melodies :)
Nice work man!

Spadezer responds:

I haven't played Blood Dragon, but after seeing a little bit of the game I'm probably going to have to look into it.

Thanks man ;)

[Bop]

I like it! it's a very catchy theme especially the part that comes in at 01:28
only part that bothers me a little is the transition at 3:01 maybe you should have added one extra note at that last part, let it ring for a while have some sort of little build up (reverse cymbal or something) and then kick into the next phase.
I love your melodies though, nice work! :)

Wilhiemthe2nd responds:

Thank you very much for the review!
I personally decided to use the transition I used so the next phrase would kinda surprise you with the increase of tempo. *shrug* I like it.
Thanks about the melodies too, I used to be so bad at making memorable melodies, I think I'm getting better now. c:

[box of secrets]

Man I love this! I can definitely hear ZipZipper and Steampianist in this xD
Love the guitar aswell.
Nice work!

johnfn responds:

Hua huahuahua thanks dude! The guitar was pretty tough to record because I was playing at like 180bpm or something, while I normally do like 120bpm. (I'm not exactly a guitar virtuoso.)

[soar]

Awesome song Johnfn! Very catchy tune :)

johnfn responds:

Thank you Mattashi! :)

[Light in the Darkness]

Fantastic work Emid! Fits the picture very well. Much luck to you in the contest!

Emid responds:

Mattashi, so nice of you good friend.
