Oberon9580's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Decisive Battle FF3]

Loved it, but just one thing...

Why oh WHY couldn't you have chopped off that 2 seconds of dead air at the end!? It would've looped perfectly then! :(

shadow6nothing9 responds:

Yea, I'll delete this and shave off the last 2 seconds then upload it later. Thanks.

[A Battle Not Forgotten]

Regarding your song's name...

For a song named "A Battle Not Forgotten", it certainly won't be very memorable to me, sad to say. I will be frank and say that although I did grin & bear it and listened to the whole song, I was quite frankly bored to death listening to the guitar for 2 1/2 minutes straight. There was no change in the melody whatsoever aside from you substituting one instrument for another occasionally; the other 7 layers of the song stayed constant for almost 2 minutes. In addition, because you were slowly adding layers to the song, it wasn't even til after the 1:00 mark that it sounded somewhat interesting. I do hope you continue on this though, and would look forward to hearing a revised version.

HAZEBlade responds:

Thanks, but there are ALOT of people that like it the way it is im gonna change and do a little more things to it but its just a sample its not the full version.

[Laguna - Golden Machine G]

Aside from a few minor things, loved it!

I had seen you post this for review on OCRemix, and am glad you put this here as well. Laguna's theme is one of my more favorite FF songs, so you immediately are in good favor with me. :P

That being said, there's 2 things I noted that could be fixed to make this even better.

1) The machine gun/grenade effects you used from Laguna in FF8 just don't seem to jive with the song in my opinion. The gun sounds slightly off-tempo (which can't be fixed unless you slow the song down a tiny bit).

2) During 3 parts in the song, I was getting a soft, very high pitched tinny sound coming out of my right headphone from 2:12 - 2:27, again at 2:37 - 2:47, then once again from 3:34 - 3:56. It was very distracting, and sounded like a misplaced note.

Other than that, loved the song, and hope you can make it even better and get it posted to OCRemix. :)

Gario responds:

Thanks for the honest review, dude!

This will be revised sometime pretty soon (although the revision will not be posted here - I rather like having a unique Newgrounds & OCR edit of the same track), so you can keep an eye out for it on OCR.

The gun sound wasn't actually supposed to line up - it just so happens to almost work that way, so I won't be adjusting for it. I have a personal preference towards the SFX, so they'll probably stay, too. To each their own.

The squeaky sound is a part of the drum set. I'll center pan it more so it's less distracting - thanks for pointing it out.

Thanks for the review!

[Rpg - Overworld Theme (update)]

Yep

The lower volume did the trick; it sounds MUCH better now.

Sonic-Freak responds:

Yep ^^
and thanks to you it's now much better

[RPG - Overworld Theme]

Decent, but the volume killed it...

The music was alright, but the sound kept getting distorted due to the music's default volume levels being way too loud. I'd recommend resubmitting this once you lower the volume, and it'd sound a lot better.

Sonic-Freak responds:

thanks, I'm going to fix this and resubmit this <:

[FinalFantasy: Masters of]

Beautiful submission!

I was really thrilled how this took me way back in my memories... the transitions between the different themes was practically seamless. Excellent job. :)

bitium-ribbon responds:

I'm glad you noticed that. One of the things I worked hardest with when I made this was the transitions. I was amazed how well they fit together though... lol

[Iced Out]

This is OCRemix.com-level music here...

Seriously, this is just flat out awesome... I can't think of anything better to say about it. Please make more. :)

NemesisTheory responds:

Will do mate, thanks for the review. :)

[SSBM -- Hyrule Temple (ALT)]

Excellent work with this one.

Title more or less says it all. There's really nothing to complain about with this one at all. :)

I demand more!!

LightOtaku responds:

And more shall come! XD

[F-Zero GX Mute city remix 2]

Love F-Zero songs :)

Liked the song in general, but 2 things bugged me:

1) The bass was drowning out the melody in some parts, which was too soft in itself.

2) The cymbal sound effect started to get annoying when you had it repeating at points during every beat.

Please feel free to keep making more F-Zero songs... I'd love to hear one of the Big Blue track.

Gorekiller responds:

Thanks, man ! Yeah ! I know this cover isn't perfect but I find it much better than the first one I 've done ("F-Zero Mute city remix"). Did you listen to my first Mute city audio version ? If it isn't the case, do it and leave a review to tell me which one of the two versions you liked ! And don't worry ! You'll hear my Big Blue cover soon ! Thank you for your support !

[supermario docks trance v2]

Very, VERY nice redo on this song!

Honestly, this is one of the better Video Game category songs I've seen lately on the audio portal lately. You've seemed to have makd a lot of marked improvement in your submissions, and this song just shows how really good you are getting. I highly recommend this to be downloaded by others, and please keep putting more stuff up. :)

mariomusicmaker1 responds:

=D thanks alot for the great review!
dont get 2 many of those too often :P
