Tangerine's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[One Of My Favorite Characters]

That's such a difficult voice routine. I'm really loving the general tone and projection coming from your voice when you play that character. I really hear something amazing spark when you play the mime. Absolutely outstand characterization. You truly convinced me that you were a mime through your many words. Absolutely outstanding!

In all honesty. This made me laugh. You're a comedic genius. Great job!

CarlTheVoiceactor responds:

Thanks for the kind words, Tangerine! Glad to have brought some good laughter with my goofiness!

[Battle Drums]

These drums are amazing! Just a quick question. Where can I find the audio portal to get these SF2 files? I'm still pretty new to Newgrounds and I'm still learning where everything is. Thank you :)

Troisnyx responds:

In the search bar, type in "800 SF2" without the inverted commas and it should hopefully bring up the associated forum thread if you look under Forum Posts.

[Burn It All(revamped)]

Sounds really good! I like how you used purposeful discordance in some of your notes to give a slightly sinister sound. I really like it! Great job.

TrandafirTeodora responds:

Thank you so much!

[S1LENT GHO5T - Take 2]

Sounds great! Best of luck with the competition. Even though we're competitors in the grand scheme of things, I still hope do well!

LJTLegendaryL responds:

Thanks! Best of luck to you as well!

[Appear Strong when You Are Weak]

Nice song! 01:02 reminds me a lot of the song I made recently. Great job though! Sun Tzu would be proud.

Speedster978 responds:

Thank you for the feedback! I'm glad that you liked it. Which song of yours does 1:02 sound like? I'm curious to listen to it!

[Connecticut]

I love it! It's so different from your previous music! It's so groovy at the beginning and just builds on that feeling. 1:29 this section is really nice to listen to. This is hands down my favourite of yours so far. I love the new sounds! I can't wait to see some string instruments!

Actually this was a previous FL mobile track that I finished on FL mobile, you can see that in the software tab. I am still trying to learn what I’m doing on the PC. Really? This is your favorite of mine so far? I was afraid everyone would hate this one as it sounds extremely basic and progression is much slower than I would have liked, and the second half felt rushed, but I guess not. But yeah I’ll probably do this type of thing again eventually.

Wow, this is certainly an interesting one. I personally haven't listened to many of Sibelius's pieces. But I like this interpretation. Every movement is something completely different yet it makes sense. I'm not too sure how to describe it.

I really love the sudden change that you made in 1:58. Despite the guitar SoundFont not being the best (At least I'm assuming it's a guitar since it says in the tags. It honestly sounds more like a traditional European guitar or a traditional Japanese plucked instrument like a koto).

The percussion at 2:36 caught me by surprise. The beat/rhythm was not what I was suspecting. It was a nice change. 3:30 is another example of this. 5:40, I really like how you sped up the drum kick to every quaver (or crotchets if you have a very fast tempo). It really made that section feel like the climax of the piece. 0:41 Call me crazy but I feel like a slower beat in this section would have been nice. Almost like a friendly post-intro warm-up to the song. I also feel like (And I know this is probably a very stereotypical drum beat.) a snare would have been more impactful than a clash.

I don't really have much to say about the melodies since I actually liked them all.

Once again I'm just going to say it. I really like how much the song contrasts as you *move* through different movements. great examples of this would be 00:39, 2:21, 2:54, etc. I think this may have been one of your best pieces yet. The more I listen to it, the more I enjoy it. You did a really good job with this one. Keep it up!

The thing about every movement feeling different yet also fitting together is thanks to Sibelius for the most part. I did try to use the same percussion instruments throughout the song with slight mixing changes in an effort to convey a sense of everything tying together. The guitar sound isn’t a sound font in the traditional sense, it’s more of another instrument channel that I tried to make sound better by layering with a harp. To create progression I only added the pitch thing when the kick comes in, so that may be why it doesn’t sound good at the beginning. Yeah, the march is supposed to be the climax, as it’s the final movement. That was part of the reason making them 3 different songs was so essential in the production, I needed to have 3 different tempos to contrast the movements. At 0:41 I feel like a snare would have been too repetitive given that in the second movement the snare was the main percussive instrument. Adding a slower beat I feel would have completely ruined the pacing of that part (fast movement, slow movement, fast again). Oh and by the way, there are only 3 movements, and they switch whenever everything goes quiet. I know what you meant though. Thanks!
