Oberon9580's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[MegaMan 2 Woodman Mix]

Marginal, but you have room to make improvement.

For fooling around, this wasn't awful, but it could have been a lot better.

1) Your sound samples were way too loud. I had to download the file and listen at 20% normal volume for it to be at an acceptable decibal level.

2) A decent song will sound somewhat organic in rhythm; yours seemed almost mechanical to the point of me thinking a robot was conducting it (yeah, I know, Megaman & robot, har har :P).

3) Your sample chioces were alright, but they could have been varied more. Maybe something like a faded choir in the background around the middle would spice it up a little... that's just an example; it's your choice in the end.

I do hope to see you attempting more songs though; try to give them a little more effort though before posting them; it'll be worth it. :)

[Fairy in a Jar | SL]

Loved this song.

This song is near perfect. Your guitar and percussion samples were very high quality, and nothing overwhelmed any of the other parts. It was a pleasure listening to this, and I'd recommend anyone who sees this to download it.

Thanks alot for reviewing Oberon. The song was alot more complex but i decided to cut alot of it out because it sounded so good. I spent alot of time tweaking the guitar samples to get the best sound possible and it has paid off so far.

[Forest Of Hope (OLD)]

Another very well put together song

This submission of yours really gives new life to this Super Mario RPG song. It's even more vibrant than the SNES version. If you didn't have the 2 second gap of dead space at the end, it would probably loop very nicely. Still, a very nice job yet again. :)

[Zelda II dungeon]

Decent submission, but seemed a little tame.

This submission of yours was alright, but from my perspective, I saw a few things I'd like to point out:

1) It seemed hollow, almost to a point of minimalistic at quite a few points throughout it. I know songs often start this way and build, but I really didn't get the feeling that it was building up much, even when the other instruments came in.

2) Too repetitious. The first portion could've been shortened in half and still had as good an effect at adding elements as you'd planned.

3) When you did do the one part in the middle (2:23 - 2:38), it ended in a note echo that clashed horribly with the section you continued afterwards.

Again, it was a decent song, laid back and quiet, but I personally felt you could've done more with it.
