Grandvision's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Our Legend Falls]

Beginning was amazing. Last Momens were mediocre, just boring changing string section + french horns, not much to enjoy and dig through the progression. Then it gets good after 4:20.

EvilRaccoon responds:

Thanks for the review. Sorry to hear that you found it boring. It was important that you feel isolated, neglected though, as the character bled out through an emotional state. If it was large and broad, it would feel like a squad of men dying, which isn't what we wanted. It was following the vision we had. Glad you enjoyed the rest.

The harp is one of my most favorite instruments to mess around with, it's unfortunate I can't play a real one, hell I can't even afford one. I stick with east west samples. Getting an authentic melody going with a harp is hard, especially with harmonics in it. Really great voice, but it feels like it could be sung a little higher to harmonize with the harp. I really wanted it to be longer as well, the triplet chorus coming in was amazing.

etherealwinds responds:

Sorry that it's not longer!! Forgive me. Thank you for listening :)

[Windows]

Windows 7 I presume :), haha just kidding. Why Windows? Christmas windows, behind a starry sky, soaring snowflakes gazing in the distance, calling out to the everlasting wind of the winter solstice?

I don't know. Great job. Great imagery.

Step responds:

Windows 7 indeed! And certainly not Mac OS.

I actually have no idea why I called it Windows. Well, that's a lie. I do have an idea. I wanted to give it a vague name which leaves more room for interpretation. That being said, why I chose the actual name Windows is beyond me.

Thanks for the review!

[Clarity in Vengeance]

OooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOoooohoooooo. oooh o: ho-ho. Yes :3

LunyAlex responds:

WOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooThanks! :D

[Nought Location]

Woah bro, this reminds me of post rock, almost like but with it's own unique style. Very unique. I love the little bells and synths there and here, creating a nice mellow feeling while still keeping it fresh and gritty. Great job. I don't have much of an opinion on the drums, they sound cool being sliced but otherwise, I think slicing them a bit too much constantly could get annoying for some people, maybe it's just a preference, otherwise everything else is great. Good mixing and mastering as well.

DX-Interactive responds:

Thanks, yeah I'm quite a post rock fan, but also listen to a lot of electronic / idm. I agree I overdid the drum slicing on this one! I also think the end is a bit too full as well. I've got a lot more material up at https://soundcloud.com/secheron-peak and http://secheronpeak.bandcamp.com/, the album that this song was on was released under just about the same Creative Commons license as newground's audio is, so if anyone can make use of them in games and stuff I'm all for it.

[Homecoming]

What the fuck. That bass. It gave me a boner. Urgh.....

Acid-Paradox responds:

BASS BONER

[Teaching My Students]

Wow, I didn't even realize this was looping for 5 times until I tabbed in to the window to see it only lasts 1:12. It loops so perfectly and doesn't seem to be repetitive. Great job! Outstanding!

Bosa responds:

Indeed, sir! I thank you!
