Dudidum's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[MainTheme]

Very nice

Ahhhh that reminds me of loads of old RPGs (SNES etc.) I've played so far :).
Good memories.

You song sounds at first happy, then a bit dark, then mysterious and again happy. Overall very adventurous!
Various themes good elaborated and packed into one awesome song :D.
Suits perfectly as an RPG main theme.
I'm really curious what the game is going to be about and hopefully you'll get it finished so I can try it out :)!

But please, just clear out the areas where the transitions from one part to another take place.
Perhaps a problem with the fading algorithm?

Keep it up!

megalolord responds:

Thanks mate! Yeah, I was really aiming to be original and to be really in the RPG style in the same time.

The game won't be in flash but in .exe! The .mid sounds really better than this (more clean and everything).

[Cayur - edreeROP]

Cool and unexpected

A bit psychodelic rock at the beginning but the change in the middle of the song really catched my attention.
That was really unexpected and therefore awesome :D.

The dissonant elements in the first half are a bit hard to "understand" musicially but there are some damn nice melodies in it, which keep the song very interesting (especially starting from 0:53).

Last but not least, well played guitar and bass ;).

Keep it up!

Dud

[hearts turned to stone]

Interesting

A simple but effective way to create such sounds.
Very dreamy :).
Reminds me a bit of the game Unreal.
This music belongs into another world :D!
Good job ;)!

Keep it up!

[A Piano's Testimony]

Superb melody!

This flowing piano melody just sucks you in :D.
And everything else around the piano fades in and out like perfect.

I just love how everything synergizes^^.
Keeping it simple was the right choice here. No brainfuck, nothing you must hear a thousand times to get it.

This really happy melody just instantly improves your mood :).
I like this song very much, it was pleasing my ears in every way ;).

Keep it up!

Dud

ps.: How long did it take to complete the song?^^

Gravey responds:

The song didn't take a whole long time to write. There was probably a total of twenty-ish hours of work simply because I was using all new gear. Thus I had to learn as I worked.

Thank you for the review.

[Memories / Erinnerungen]

Nice little song

I like the simplicity of this song very much :).
This nice tune is easy to listen to and helps to relax ;).
Did you write this song that way or was it more an improvisation over the left hand theme?
I ask because I can hear you hesitating (like "what should I play now?") in some parts^^.

Anyway it's really a nice song!

Keep it up!

Dud

[Rucklo - The Backyard Murr]

I don't think it's bad

It has a mysterious feeling with the 'creepy' baseline and those higher notes.
I like this short tune because it all goes well together and you can actually hear all the details ;).

Keep it up!

Dud

Rucklo responds:

glad ya like it man! thanks for the reveiew!

[Thunder Day]

Nice

The main theme is a really catchy, the middlepart has a nice flow and is somewhat relaxing ;). The part from 1:50 to 2:05 reminds me of jamiroquai... this awesome groovy disco like cord progression ;D.

You did a well job in putting all instruments together, there's nearly nothing wrong or annoying ;). I just find that the drums are a little bit too loud during the main theme.

Good work and keep it up!

Dud

ChrisisD responds:

thanks! the thing is with the main theme... I really want to give it that powerfull feel... thats a little bit hard to do with my comp ^^ glad you like it!

[Mac9 - Love's Inclination]

Ha nice :)

This is a really nice creation.

The piano phrase is really catchy and the overall melody is just an incompareable happy one :).
The stops are cleverly placed although the first stop may be a bit too long (for me that is^^; I'd have expected the entry just a beat earlier so it somewhat broke the flow if you know what I mean^^).
And finally the dynamics along with the variety of instruments you've used are very well done.

Another thing that found was that the piano alone sounded a bit "dry".
I mean just a bit of reverb or sustain pedal would make it perfect.

Other than that I think this is another brilliant piece of yours :).

Keep it up!

Dud

[==(Cloudclimber)==]

Another ambient genius

This is really a piece.
There are so much things to hear in this song.
Somtimes too much but this is really a heavy multilayered piece.
But you accomplished not to overload this song with the load of effects you used and I think that's not an easy task.
The piano melody at the beginning with those effects and the "birds?" is my favourite part.
For example exactly at 1:19 there's in my opinion one effect too much and therefore it sounds a bit overloaded to me^^.
Other than that it's really well done.
This asian sounding part also catched my ear and proves the versatility of this piece.

Keep it up!

Dud

[Reasoner- I'm Still Here]

Relaxing.... yea really

Music is one big fine thing when it comes to express ones feelings.
It helps you in difficult times and can create moods and feelings beyond imagination.

I think this song proves it again that you can give those feelings, which are bound into the song, to others aswell ;).

Overall a very nice composition with very fine harmonies.
I'd say keep it rather simple than complex but a complex song here and then is a good way. Simple songs for relaxing and comlex songs for enjoying music itself. ;)

keep it up!

Dud

ps.: Is it computermade or being played?

Reasoner responds:

100% played :-D Thanks for the nice review
