RedHotPoker's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[_-={Wrath of a Broken Soul}=-_]

OOOOOOOOOO

If i were to stab some one i would want this in thet background. Epic work as usual. And tehn it drifts into a slow choir. The remorse after the killing me thinks. :)

And then you swell once more into a climactic finish. Wonderful. Love the abrupt ending really adds a extra wow factor.

I come to the portal for about 10 mins and what do i find? you've submitted another masterpiece. Good stuff.

Oh and last time you responded you asked me if i was to be makeing any more music. The answer is no. Not for like 2 months. GCSE's to revise for, and i can't find my bass speaker or my mike. (stupid dad hideing them.)

Nice work old boy.

MaestroRage responds:

:O!

Stab somebody?! But what if they were totally wearing Kevlar armor?! WHAT IF?!

The imagery you had is pretty close to my story, there is indeed the anger, the frustration first, then the sorrow and regret, and then the absolute conviction.

Also, although i'm a little saddened to hear you won't be making anything for 2 months, I respect your choice. After all there are things in real life that just demand absolute attention.

When you are back into the creation scene, please let me know! I will gallop my way to your page!

Thank you for the review RedHotPoker, i'm glad you liked it! Keep up the good fight!

[_-={Victorious Day}=-_]

Very battle-esc

Very nice. Proffesional game standard music again. Reminded me alot of Kameo elements of power by rareware. A very interesting song. How do you create the long sweeping strings and the almost religious choir's? There very nice. It loops perfectly which adds to the effect. Lovely stuff as always.

MaestroRage responds:

the religious choirs are from many choirs being blended together, and the sweeping strings are like the choirs a blend of different strings. There is a raw sounding string synth I used that really gave it a neat boost in the right feeling, so I totally kept it, adopted it, raised it, even sent it to daycare.

It would loop better if it didn't have that build up at the beginning. Originally that beginning was not there, and was meant to be used as a form of intro into the battle and the rest would remain constant. We decided against that and in the actual game it's not like this. I just threw it in there cuz I like the buildup :'(

Thank you for the review RedHotPoker. I believe I have some pieces of yours I was meant to review, but never got the chance. I'm hoping you've got some more excellent ambiance for me!

[The Monotony of the Undead]

Wow

The begging ambiance was among the best i've heard. And then those wonderful beats came in. You are a wonderful artist. You weave melody into every thing you do. Also i notice that almost all of your new tracks have nothing. A good way of gettin attention is to lurk on the forums and such. People learn your name. Your name desrvs to be learnt.

LfunkeyA responds:

woah! thanks. i didn't expect this track to get a positive review. well i'm trying. soon i'll be gettin Reason, maybe trial v. or something, you should check it out, would make your ambients even greater. anyways, keep it up.

[_-={Sunset Requiem}=-_]

WOOOOOOOOOOO

When ever i find out you've released a new song i littarly drop what ever im going and come running. And today you haven't dissapointed. A wonderful sweeping score. Amazing stuff. Sensative
yet powerful. Although i have to question why there is bird song through out this piece? It doesn't by any means detract from the piece i am simply curious. A fantasticly emotive piece. Pls check my new song if you have the time.

MaestroRage responds:

Whenever I release a song, I generally drop things as well! First I knock over my speakers for doing nothing for me (all work done through headphones), and then I punch out my keyboard, because I mean, what the hell is wrong with it!?

Then I run away from the PC abuse cops. Run by Microsoft... go figure!

To answer your question, the birds are there for not only to please the ears, but to also tell the story.

The image I had for this piece is as follows.

It is during noon, the time where the sunset is most brilliant. The earth, the sky, all painted with a the hues of red, orange, dark yellow making it all truly serene. Underneath a large tree, with the light filtering through the leaves, there are rays of light dancing on a tombstone.

The birds are there to enforce the whole setting.

I will check out your new work right away! Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

[==(Liquid Edge)==]

Very nice

Nice and gentel. Thats what i like. I would have prefered a bit more bass though but thats just my personal preference. I love the way you flow through out the song from what sounds like quite a distance away to right in my ear. How so you do that? is it to do with equlization? Oh and i just reached the end which was so abrupt i was like "WTF?" but it was a nice contrast. Good stuff.

[-Orr- The Pharaoh's Tomb]

Wow

This blew me away. I was just sat down listening to the beatles and then came across this and you knocked me sideways. Every thing is perfect, the organ is wonderous and as for the industrial sounds well there simply astounding. Do you play the guitar as it is also a fantastic part to this song? Hell in most songs there is usualy only one (if that) great thing happening at once, but you manage to cram in 3 outstanding sounds in at once. You are a god to me. Lovely stuff.

DavidOrr responds:

I don't play the guitar, I did some modifications to the "Hell Spawn Guitar" patch in Reason. Although it doesn't quite sound like the real thing, I think it's a pretty decent sounding patch.

Glad you enjoyed the piece!

[-[ Crunch LOOP ]-]

Nice

Very interesting. Felt really grimy and awsome. That bizzar voice like noise that seems to spread through out this song is wonderfull. My only problem is that you can tell when it loops, which considering this is a consistant assalt on the ears is dissapointing. Very good work.

[_-={Arise Sleeper}=-_]

Grrrrrrrr

You'r to good. >:( You simply blow me away with each new piece. The build up is fanctastic. and then you slow it down for the mystical tinkle of those bells. And then it swells again. Amazing stuff.

It is hard for me to truely comprahend how you can do what you do by yourself. And dont give me any of that "Any one can do what i do." stuff Because to see some one you idalise putting them selves down is heart wrenching. I know you are amazing and you should admit it too.

You shall keep submitting quality submissions for the rest of your life.

Or else!

MaestroRage responds:

I disagree! If I was able to make things that scared the crap out of people, i'd be quite happy >:D

It seems the best I can make them do is sometimes pick up an axe, and make their neighbors catch said axe with their face.

It's a fun game, the winner usually ends up paying the hospital bill...

Everything I do is self taught, which is why I believe anybody can do what I can do. It is no secret my good sir ;), I don't try to hide anything, and I don't refuse people who ask for help, like drawing. All it takes, is practice, passion, and the willingness to neglect school work *unless your school work is music, in which case, neglecting that would equal you not being here...*

I don't put myself down my good sir, but I don't put myself above others either. I make damn sure that my head never exceeds the size my skull can support.

Thank you for the review, i'm glad you liked it ^^

[(Gillenium) Muse - DEMO]

Nice

A very nice listen. It's calm and soothing but it courses with energy and life. Wonderful stuff. Hmm Dance? I suppose it could be but its leaning more towards ambiance in my ears. None the less this is fantastically done. Keep up the good work.

Gillenium responds:

Haha, even my dance songs lean towards ambience! It's definitely dance though, dude. My first ever dance song and my first song made in Ableton Live to be released. Thanks for the review.
