XGM-Zeth's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[~|Ultros Crashes the Opera|~]

Let me explain something:

Step 1; Open FLStudio 5/6.
Step 2; Download midi file, insert into FL.
Step 3; With no effort, use one of your illigally downloaded plugins such as Edirol or Garritan.
Soon to be East West.
Step 4; Replace instruments.
Step 5; Add tempo changes
Step 6; Submit.

This is the recipy to become the most pathedic scum at newgrounds.
I only like your one last song you did with your keyboard, even though it was off-tempo and everything. Because there actually was some feckin effort.

And don't give me that "bought" bullshit.
You couldn't make music for shit until SmartPoetic told you how to midi-rip.
and NOONE would buy those VSTi's when they're that damn new to the whole composing thing.

Klace responds:

*sigh*
Another one of these reviews.
To start it off, I do not MIDI rip, I import the MIDI Into my Finale Demo, then get the Sheet music, print it out, then play it, so yes my music resembles that of the MIDI's I used to compose it.
As for Ilegally downloading my software, I wouldn't do that at all, especially when I plan to be composing pretty much my wholf life onward from now.

I can obviously tell your just jealous, because otherwise there would be no reason for this review at all.

I used to like your music, but now you've got a downvoter, Good day.

[§Arbiter§ MAC6 - TANKMEN]

You stole my ascii.

Bastard.
Anyways, beautifully created my friend, I enjoy these kind of tracks, and I'm glad you begun submitting to NG.

The oboe lead could have been better, but I'm a sucker for the last part.
Anyways, Great song, keep it up.

[The Night Stalks You]

Rock on!

You made my brain die by making such awesome tunes ! >:(
Let's hold hands and call satan over for pizza ! >:(
Or not, ok.
This song was really great productionwise and great job with the guitar.
The score is...because I'm bored. (You know I love you) Continue rocking !

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Pizza and Satan. Thanks for the score, and the kick ass review!!\m/ Your music is phenominal, so...ROCKING ON MOTHERFUCKER>

[FFX Battle (Orchestra)]

Nice Rearrangement

You have some decent samples, I take it it's soundfonts? if not---tell me what you use.
Your friend---Zeth :D

[Ninjaz Theme]

This one made me laugh.

One of the fewer tracks with actual vocals at this webpage. Sound's really great :)
5/5 and much hugs >:(

Bezo responds:

Aw, thanks. Hugs...weird.

A lot of my songs have vocals. Not as much as I'd like, I must admit.

Glad you liked it.

[AoE Overture (Bezo)]

Great song.

Was a beautiful song, And I've been anticipating and hoping for some more stuff from you.
(Long Time-Listener).
So I hope my 5 will do you some good :)

Bezo responds:

Thanks a lot. I've been anticipating and hoping for some more stuff from myself as well. I have done so little lately.

[-Orr-(ST) Love]

DavidOrr - Orr (ST) Love

I liked your piano chord structure; harmonic.
After a while; there came some half-muted pizzicato strings; volume up on them next time.
The flute probably would have been better an octave down; but good nethertheless; Your piano was actually quite simplistic; but still works.
I hear that you play the keyboard Maestro/Orr (Which one do you go by?)

---

I think you could have added percussionate works; shakereggs; bongo's; timpani's.
All would have worked; believe it or not.
Not your strongest piece; but it gain's a seven; and a five to boost your scores a bit.

Best of wishes; Christian S. (Arbiter)
Ps; I'd love you to swing by my page and review my songs; more will be added to my section later.

[DERANGED (Better Quality)]

Nice.

Ok, BMI---
That was some smooth guitar playing and I'm rather impressed.
The drums was simple, but worked throughout the song just fine.
I'm impressed of your vocal skills---not that many that can actually sing at this website.
However--If you messed up somewhere, I'll say the same to you as with MaestroSorrow.
It was with the equalizing.
I feel that this track should have more bass on that el-guitar.
So it don't sound that thin.

Anyhow--Check out my music if you find the time.
pretty much the same genre as MaestroSorrow does.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man. The song is really cool. I wasn't the artist that performed the music. It would be real kickass with a bass line though. Thanks for the awesome review and when I get home from work, I will give your stuff a listen. \m/

[_-=[United Front]=-_]

Ok; My first review in ages.

And only because it's you.

Ok---In the beginning I felt it was lacking depth. And once again.
I feel that your percussion is good.
But overpower too much.
You have great melodic lines going, however;
You once again have not put enough emphasis on the contrabass (if there even is one).
So the track seems too thin throughout the whole thing.

You had alot action in this piece, which I liked.
And great use of the bells.
The choir sounded rather fake---but unless you feel like spending thousands of dollars---I can see why. So dont worry there.

Your clarity is rather bad, due to no equalizing.
Making this track sound rather washed out (Like my previous tracks, before I mastered equalizing.)

You're a great composer Sorrow---But there are still errors that need correction.
I'll admit that I've lost alot of my own melodic feel, but you still have yours.

The way I see it in this track--You had alot great idea's, just not executed well enough.

-Sorry for being harsh, and I hope you'll forgive me :P

-Christian Sandviknes

MaestroSorrow responds:

Pfft, Silly Zeth, you're true words and facts do not phase me! I turn a blind eye to your review --_--!

No No I joke, I jest, I jibe. Whenever I make a song of this caliber (ie, more then 10 instruments), equalizing becomes so friggen hard, and I understand that. I guess I just need to pay more attention to what i'm doing with those lil knobs.

Do not apologize for your thoughts Zeth, they were good ones. Thanks for the review ^^.

[Strive--_--]

I saw this one being lonely without reviews.

I didn't really like the intro part, and I really hated the synth strings, as for it being bad. Though the song catched up with me later on, after the reverse cymbal.
Well; I cant see too much to say about this song.
Good work--Keep it up.
