LastEncore's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cresada]

Meh.

I give you a 9 oooh wait! It's high quality and the chord changes are nice. Nice instrument use. Transitions are smooth. This will more then likely be an All Time Best. Nice track. If this is one of your 'lesser' song it'd be nice to hear one of the higher tier ones that you save from the Record Mongols. Nice track, you deserve to be signed. It's almost beautiful. You are pro sir. Pro.

tankbusta responds:

no im still working at my music so ill still say im amateur lol hahahah....thanks yes im working on new music that people are taking a look at. ^_^

[bs - Money!]

Relief!?

You don't know how relieved I am after hearing some guy above you in the new submissions screaming in his mic to hear some actual music!? Ahh man. Well I would give you a all out review but it's just to early in the morning right now. So I'll give you a 7 and let th reflect how I do like the song and it's pretty catchy but it could use some transitional work and some depth and such. Like your instrument choice though. Uh nice?!

battleshield responds:

ok thanks for your mercy :P

[VIOLENT hill]

Terrible!? :)

You are way to bored man. Find something to do!? Come on!?

[im teh cult of personality]

haha

Man I almost died laughing when I heard the cult of personality come on. But uh this is horrible though. Good for a cheap laugh them. Nice. Real Nice. I just can't give this any stars man lo well ok 1. ahh man...absolutely terrible.

[Mario World - Ending]

Never heard this before.

Yet someone I feel connected to it. As it does feel very mario like. My only complaint and reason I didn't give you a 10(note I gave you a 10 because i hate deducting points for quality unless i absolutely have to) is because, well I haven't heard it before thus it kind of leans me towards a higher quality piano. The ragtime style piano is fine and all I just really would have like a serious piano reverbed that sounded wonderful playing this and that would have done even more for me... nice arrangement though. (-.-)'

CrazyCookie responds:

You know, I realized I had forgot to put a decent reverb on it when the listens hit about 3000, thus me not being able to edit it. Then I read this review and simply went "I know, I know.... HOW FOOLISH I AM!"

[No Where Near Remix]

(F) LastEncore Review.

Sadly, I never expect good songs to be in the New Submissions...but I guess they have to be submitted at some time.

Plus---/4/
(+)High Quality Sounds. Very nice.
(+)Intelligent Trance Beeps.
(+)Smooth Chord Changes for Rhodes.
(+)EQ and Balance are great.

Minus---/6/

2x(-)"Tempo."
I like techno as much as the next guy but this tempo is just a little bit to fast for my taste. It almost takes away from the musicality of it. Making it difficult to follow it just feels like the song is rushing itself into oblivion on a train they can't stop. Slow it down a bit so when hear what's happening.

2x(-)"Percussion."
Well the percussion is very techno. Thus, used before. I've probably heard these type of hi-hats and snare/clap a good amount of times over the course of my NG techno listening. They just don't vary enough to generally take the song to another place. It stays foot mounted in one form it's entire duration. It's not bad percussion it's just not original enough for me not to minus it.

2x(-)"Transitional Work."
Now the song does transition well, but only in a since of things dropping off. In essence the song never leads itself. 'It just happens.' Try to work in some cymbals to turn up the spirit feel of the track.

*Additional Comments*
(-.-)'Vary it. Make it Epic!?"
Change it up a bit from time to time. Drop of the drums into a smooth piano riff and bring it up to high Trance Saws or something. The pads need to carry your chords even more so to make everyone feel where the song is going. Overall it's a very nice track that could use some upgrading. It's fine where it is but it seems like even in all it's smoothness it needs to become beastly later on. A song with two sides is always better then one side. Give something to look forward to in your tracks and keep us listening. It's a very calming beat though.

Last Words/Final Score*
"Not what I expected."
Final Score:8
Vote:5

Cisetam responds:

yea the tempo is a bit fast now that i look back on it

[Stairway to heaven(rap)]

Nice.

This is pretty hard for me to review music-wise as I can hear it but voices overtake some of the musicality of it for me. Nonetheless it's a nice mix. The only thing I don't like some of the chord changes but that has nothing to do with you. It's a pretty nice rap. The percussion kind of zzzZZZ's me but that's cool. Hayz sounds sexy though. Nice. Track.

xplicitlyricist responds:

haha.
Cheers man.
Glad ya liked.

[MPZ - Sleep (Preview)]

Mellow, Calm, Soothing.

The chord changes at the start are real nice. Well the chords throughout the song in general are real nice. It's actually really good on the Melodic side and there doesn't seem to be anything needed to be added as far as instruments go. If you just wanted to though I would try out Pads in the back, maybe synths to highlight the chords. But mostly I would put pads to fill in although it's pretty full with the piano chords but it would certainly add gloss to it. Like some pads that make ambient sounds in the background.
The drums though, are pretty shallow and you can never have enough percussive instruments. I don't know how this song exactly feels about cymbals but if you added some backward cymbals and things of the light would add a "Epic" feel to it. But it'd be careful with cymbals because those could change the entire mood of not handled gently. Other then that the flow is real nice. I like it man.

MPZ responds:

Pads
More percussive
Backward cymbals

Thanks. ^ ^

Sounds like that would work out good.

[Everything (Wanna Be)]

Nice.

This is actually really fly. The piano is kinda muggy sometimes. And I didn't like the chorus to much it was just weird and sounded nice. But it was original though so you don't lose to many points there. And I liked it in general. So if you looking for a producer check me out man. I'm pretty good at RnB tracks. Nice track. You got that 5 spot. Hell this just even had a bridge which was nice...

kenubo responds:

Thanks dude, especially when it comes from someone with as tight as tracks as yours.

[The Barren Desert (nearly Fin)]

Intrigue

It's odd in it's on way. It has lke a HipHop beat going with some kind of classical intuitive put behind it. I can tell that you use FL Studio simply form the piano and the techno drum. It's not a horrible song but it's very odd. So I don't know exactly what to give it. I do like the chord changes though?

SkatingIsGenetic responds:

Odd, ha ha.

I'll take that as a compliment.

Yeah, my songs consist of very little, I still have to get the full feel of FL 7.

Some day (whenever that is) I'll start to stray from piano cause I use it so much, which isn't entirely bad but not all that good either.

I just have to learn how to expand.

But, what about it is so odd?

Do you mean odd as in...I could improve on or...?

I'm a big fan of constructive criticism so if you could...

But anyway,
Thanks for spending the time to review!
