Winterwind-NS's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mina's Anguish]

its pretty nice

i like more songs that have a sorta heroic feel to it such as ur "last trek" song
this is still pretty nice
keep it up

WinterWind

Diabolo-ical responds:

Thanks. Keep up the good reviews! (lol)

[Overture for Brass Quintet]

wow

that was really nice!
i actually enjoyed this song.
work on ur dynamics tho...
like when the trombones (tuba?) have the melody
while the trumpets play the consecutive eighth notes. the trumpets should play softer in that part. kinda hard to explain wut i mean lol
like at 00:07 and 00:18
the french horn was kinda wierd throughout the song too.
all in all this was pretty nice. keep it up
stick to classical music. there isnt enuff here on NG lol check out my songs.

WinterWind

wseegers responds:

Thanks!
This project was on a deadline so it was written kind of quickly, but you're absolutely right about the dynamics, thanks for the constructive criticism. Your stuff is great (and you've got quite a bit!). Have you ever heard of GigaStudio or Garritan Personal Orchestra? You should check out some of those sound banks, because unfortunately (I struggle with this every day) the quality of some of your tunes get lost in the sequencing. But man, really nice stuff.

[Simple and Clean X2]

try harder

i know u just started but dont just import a midi and assign an instrument...
put more effort into your music,
dont get frusterated if it takes u more than a day to make a song cuz its supposed to take u more than a few days to make a masterpiece lol
ok start i guess...
dont get mad please, learn from this and reform.
i look forward to ur next song :)

WinterWind

StreamKnight responds:

I didn't lol. I changed some stuff. Studied the notes. Wrote my own complete dance remix version (will be out soon). This is more or less a practice session since I am familiarizing myself with fruity loops.

[K&K - Dragons]

amazing

this song isn't recieving the right score...
I'll rectify that lol
incredible song, it truly breath taking...
you seem to have a real prodigal talent towards art in general.
Your concept art for your upcoming movie is awesome. your 3d designing skills are insane as well. Music is definetly your forte above all though, undoubtedly.
I love the intense feeling you get when you hear this, the fast drumming, the bass drum rolls.
00:58 I can really imagine a dragon opening up his huge wings as he steps out of his little cave. you professionaly give imagery to your music, which I lack lol
If I could some words of inspiration via email from you, well, that would make my day itself lol

WinterWind

Edgen responds:

WinterWind! Hey man, wow! thank you for such the kind words. You've got some amazing talent yourself in music and this review coming from you really mean a lot! I appreciate everything and ya, definitely shoot me an email and we'll talk 'shop'. all the best! /j

[Outset Island Orchestrated]

this game rocks (so duz the song :P)

i redid this song also a while back but i dunno if i wanna submit it tho... lol
really cool, only thing that didnt sound real was the tamborines... sounded kinda like marakas (marambas? Maracas? i dunno wut its called, that spanish instrument, u know wut im talking about)
awesome

WinterWind

SuperTonic64 responds:

You should submit it WinterWind, it would probably be a lot better than my version! :)

Its maracas! :D I used tamborines, but I guess I need to find a better soundfont for them. :P :D

[FFVII Battle Theme Orch.]

this is cool

i might try a remix of this song too
this was pretty awesome
tho some of the melodies couldve stood out more
no other suggestions other than that
great one.

WinterWind

SuperTonic64 responds:

Thank you! Yeah, next time, I'll try to include the melodies a little more for my next battle theme! :)

[Memories of Old--A Fanfare!]

nice one

this is a pretty catchy song
reminds me of christmas sorta lol
i liked the pizzicato strings,
really gave the happy feel to the song
keep it up
look forward to more songs

WinterWind

SuperTonic64 responds:

Thanks for your review WinterWind! :)

I wrote this a year or so ago, but I reworked it a little to make it more catchy. :D

[DJ Karbon - Acid Bath]

intense

loved the fastpaced drums in the beginning, the voice cut in was a nice add (kinda like the avalanches) the cutting edge bass was sweet, the stuttering snare parts were cool...
acid bath is a really fitting name lol
great song, once again...

WinterWind
5/5

Karbon responds:

I thought Acid Bath was a terrible name, but i guess it does seem to fit in. You can imagine sitting in your tub full of acid while this is playing. :)

[The Last Trek]

amazing

this song is incredible...
if u check out my song that ill submit in a few days, it actually sonuds kinda like this...
i didnt like the part wen the percussions stopped and the strings overflowed everywhere with their sustains, love that bass drum tho. viola parts are similar to requiem for a dream lol
u mustve done that by accident after remaking that song
this is reallly awesome, great job man this goes in my ipod

u used edirol right?

WinterWind

Diabolo-ical responds:

"i didnt like the part wen the percussions stopped and the strings" - Neither do I. Oh well :)

"viola parts are similar to requiem for a dream" - I sent this song to XGM-Zeth before I uploaded it. He said the exact same thing. And I agree - but I like to stick to what I know :)

"u mustve done that by accident after remaking that song" - Na, it just kinda happened

"this is reallly awesome, great job man this goes in my ipod" - Thanks very much dude

"u used edirol right?" - Yes.

Thanks for the review and high rating!

[A Christmas Rondo]

its snowing

00:29 there was a dissonant allignment between the oboe and the soft clarinet (wrong notes?), it happens in a few other places like in 00:49, i really like the bassoon tho and the strings are nice. and i loved the piano part with the trilling flute/piccolo... MORE PIANO! lol
overall that was nice... a little to early tho lol
pce

WinterWind

Khuskan responds:

I was going to add more to the piano but it seemed to overpower the other instruments if i added the bass cleff.

Yeah I noticed those mischords when i listened to it. Its mostly due to the fact when I was recording this, I did each track seporatly, and the actual chord sequences changes between each of the sections, even though the melody does not, so It got a bit confusing.

Oh and I made it so early so flash authors could use it.
