FRAYDO's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Blue Zephyr]

Beautiful.

Lovin' the atmosphere I get from this song. I feel as if flying through space listening to this. As I fly through space I admire the many stars that shine ever so brightly.

I do feel that the guitar is a bit out of place. It has an okay quality, though it could have been better. Not much a problem really, though a better and cleaner sound quality would have been great to go along with the rest of the song.

Good mix!

YanX responds:

Yeah i know.The guitar is a bit out of place.Unfortunately i can't fix the music anymore because i lost my file of it .Sorry :(

[RMX - X-Naut Base]

Nice.

Very similar to the original, though you give it your own touch. I like it!

Good mix. Everything seems to be balanced out. Drums aren't too overpowering, yet at the same time you are able to hear them. They blend in smoothly with the rest of the song.

Good work! Always love to hear some Paper Mario.

Krizy responds:

Ah yeah thanks! :D
I see what you mean, and I have to agree a bit myself :DDD

Thank you very much!

[Epic Fucking Battle]

Alright.

In the shower you say? Inspiration can hit you at any time and at any place lol.

I'm not really getting an epic battle feeling from this song. Needs more drive, more power. It just doesn't seem to have the elements that makes up an epic battle.

Don't get me wrong though, it's a good track. It's good for a battle, just not an epic battle.

godset responds:

I know what you mean - Thanks!

[Mario Underworld Remix]

Decent.

Pretty good Underground remix. The guitars and choir are a nice touch. The water drips are a nice addition as well, as they add to the atmosphere.

I don't know if it was intentional or not, but I kinda get a bit of a dark, scary feeling from this song. It reminds me of Super Mario 64's Haunted House.

~1:01
This caught me by surprise. Love the new sounds.

Great work.

Andertxuman139 responds:

Thanks, mate.
That was the atmosphere I was looking for, some scary place but without losing the Mario esence. The water drops that I used give to the song a underground effect.

The 2nd time is my greatest work from this song, and I love it.
Thanks again. n_n

[SMW - Hip Hop Sample]

Okay.

Nice track. Love the hip hop flavor here.

The one thing that bugs me in this whole song is how choppy it started. Not really a good start, but as I listened to this more it started to flow more smoothly.

Good song.

booyadiaz responds:

Thanks

[Koopa's Path]

Not bad.

Great song. Love the chorus. It's perfect for this song, and it sounds amazing. The strings compliment the chorus well.

It's just that guitar. It kills it for me. Slayer? I'm not really liking the sound of it. Everything else is great, but that guitar.

Aside from the guitar, I like it. Always nice to hear a Super Mario 64 track. Good work!

BlackskullB responds:

I know about the slayer guitar, I really hate it as well, I just can't find a good realistic guitar VST out there, do you happen to know of any?

[Night at the launch base]

Nice.

Would this by any chance be for the next Sonic Shorts Volume? I would imagine this as a menu theme, or possibly even a sneaking scene. I don't know lol.

Aside from that, I like this. Pretty calm. Easy to listen to. Good work!

Ragezero responds:

There is this project 20 made by Sonic Paradox at the moment, requesting a lot of flash, pictures, and music :) I hope it is in that, but I haven't had any confirm yet :)

[Megaman 8 - Stage select Mix]

Peaceful.

Megaman 8 sure had great music. This is really calm and peaceful. Something I could listen to all day.

I notice that you replaced what would be the bass with the piano. While I'm a bit disappointed with no bass I just love the sound of the piano. Adds to the tranquil atmosphere.

~1:12
I love this. You added your own original part to this. And it loops rather nicely.

Wonderful.

YanX responds:

Yeah i forgot too put it but i'll do it right now ^^

[Orchestral Theme 3]

Epic.

Listening to this has put me in a different world. When I close my eyes I see myself in that world. A world engulfed in flames. I'm seeing an entire army of beasts and demons marching. You sir, have succeeded in setting that atmosphere.

There's something I notice while they are marching. Those chants are a nice touch. Certainly add to the evil atmosphere.

~2:31
This is where I see the hero entering the scene. This hero is descending, almost as if an angel, with weapon in hand. He sees what lies ahead of him. He knows what he must do and what the stakes are.

~3:10
Insert epic battle here.

This is truly a masterpiece. I can tell a lot of hard work went into this. You have earned a 10 from me.

Gravey responds:

Thank you very much. I'm glad you found the piece so wonderful to listen to.

[Megaman 3 Main Theme (DJ XeMeX Remix)]

Good.

Nothing made with a MIDI could sound this good.

Awesome beginning. Love the buildup to 0:25. The thing I love about this mix is how you mix it up. Way to keep things fresh and not repetitive.

~3:42
My favorite part. I love how you go back to the original at the end. Reminds the listener what it was at first.

If this is what you do with the Megaman 3 intro, I would love to see what other Megaman remixes you can do.

CAK3MAT3 responds:

thx for that review man ^^
