Tangerine's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mi Otro Yo]

Muy chulo

DancarMar responds:

Gracias!!!!!

[Gonna Make You Sing]

Out of all the reasons I've seen people mind-control control another, this is probably one of the more relatively wholesome.

Very cool concept though, especially for a song. I also love that guitar solo near the end haha.

Thetageist responds:

...Relatively.

Thank you!

[Demonic Dash]

I never knew I liked spooky wub wubs so much. Haha well done, I love this track

Preds responds:

tysm ^^

[Ascilia's Theme]

Oh haha, I didn't see this. I love the oboe so much. The low strings in this are so spooky too haha. Amazing job

Bosa responds:

thank you sm! the oboe has always had a haunting tonal quality to it

[Frankenstein's World Tour]

Oh my haha, I love this so much. It's spooky and goofy all at the same time. Then it turns French at 00:51 and unfrenches at 00:56 xd. Haha jokes aside this is the type of music I dream to make in the future. You're amazing with your instrumentation and pace. 10/10

I wish you the best of luck with this year's spooktacular!

Manvineo responds:

Awe shucks thank you so much, and good luck to you as well on this year's spooktacular! <3

[The Secret of Farmore Manor]

The story is amazing, the music in the background is just so well done haha. Sounds so professional.

Bosa responds:

thank you!!

[Trapped]

It sounds so unsettling. I really like what you did with the static and the spooky piano.

Latadenata responds:

Thank you!

[X3ll3n & Benji-G - Mayhem]

There's no way this wasn't front pages. This has no right to go as hard as it does. Not gonna lie, reminds me a bit of payday music

Edit: haha yeah that seems just about right

X3LL3N responds:

I'm glad you liked this. For a track that didn't get frontpaged, it did have a decent amount of listens, which is always cool

[-Wildflowers-]

Hey mate, you've got some good potential with this. A good rule of thumb for avoiding clashing notes is to follow the chords.

So basically let's say the scale is C D E F G A B. When playing two notes together, try to avoid notes that are right next to each other on the scale. So C and D won't sound good unless you phrase it with context. D and E won't sound good if they're played together. That is because notes right next to each other tend to clash.

Instead, try to use notes that are a note or two away. So for instance, if you're playing a C, make the other instrument play an E instead of a D. This will make it sound a lot more musical and clash less. I hope I'm explaining this well. I'm not a great teacher, haha.

Anyway, I think the sound effect at the beginning comes in a little harsh, so maybe if you slow the crescendo with the sound effect, it'll have a much more pleasant effect.

Typically, you wouldn't want the drum snare to be following the same rhythm as the other instruments. The cool thing about drums is that they can build and keep their own rhythm alongside other instruments. At 00:28, I think a basic drum pattern would have been really good and brought up the pace a little bit.

But yeah, honestly just keep going. You'll refine as you go along. Try to learn as much composition-related music theory as possible. Trust me, once you get the basics down, you'll be able to make amazing music with little to no effort.

I like 02:26. I think its really strong and a nice way to end off the piece, haha.

Hopefully, this has been helpful. Good luck with your future music!

Creeperforce24 responds:

I did get a little bit of what your saying, but I feel I’ll get better as I practice, thank you

[Form for Orchestra]

I love this a lot. Every section is so wonderfully done. You should remix more of their pieces xD

50Steaks responds:

I would, but a lot of his works are well outside the scope of what I've done on musescore (drumstep, dancey w/ lyrics, whatever). This song from him was a one off. My next project is actually something from my singing monsters.
