Dudidum's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[In One Last Glance]

Very smooth piece...

Yet again you proved that playing to destress oneself can produce astounding music pieces.
And while you're in that relieving process you hit every note where it should be. If you happen to record such pieces (as you did) you would be simply amazed what you've played.
I recall these awesome feelings several times myself where you try to relax and get away from every sadness . It gives me the chills every time I hear such pieces because I know what it feels like to play something like this.

keep up this awesome work!

Dud

btw.: The Piano sound is absolutley outstanding. Is it a real one?

[Tremble]

Now that's your style

Another wonderful epic work of yours and the new vsts sound really awesome. This song seems rather sad and dark but I think thats what you wanted :).
And I hope that the piano will never ever disappear in your work!

Keep it up!

ps.: I love those fun facts :D

[Song of Storms - Zelda Remix]

Nice one

I think it sounds very close to the orignal (in terms of instruments).
The only thing (as mentioned before) is the 2 sec gap at the end that ruins the loop :(. But never mind that ;).

Keep it up!

Crossofdevil responds:

Thanks I'm trying and get this program called Reason because I really feel like remixing songs again. Ill send you a message if anything comes up! :)

[_-={The Deads Witness}=-_]

Very interesting piece

You still are one of the best (if not the best) composer for orchastrated heroic themes. This one is another very good composition from you. The choirs, the shoutings,... everything gives you a clear picture of the story you want to tell ;)

keep it up!

MaestroRage responds:

I'm happy you were able to see a clear vision Dudidum! I appreciate the kind words and the review thank you for both :D! I'm glad you liked the song!

[The Beautiful Savage]

Definitely a great sound

You are back and you didn't lose any of your good sense for music. ;)
As someone already said the feeling of this piece matches with Requiem for a Dream nearly perfectly.
Everythings fine, from the piano work to the damped (distorted?) drums.
n1 really!

keep it up!

MilkMan-Dan responds:

I will certainly keep it up, man I would be so lost without my sense for music wouldn't I?

Requiem for a Dream is a great piece and I'm proud to have the comparison drawn.

Thanks mate. And Take care.

[(_RGH_) Glacier Bay (: x)]

very dreamy song

I like the slowly playing strings and the the piano in the backround. They work very well together.
The melody is sad and simple. :)
Interesting is this helicopter-like baseline in the backround (in the middel of the song) and your choice for drums.
All in all a nice outcome except for the end because it's a bit too aprupt.

keep it up!

RyeGuyHead responds:

I muffled one of the drums alot, sort of sounds like rain.... or crap. Havent decided yet.

But i used another standard kit, i thought they molded together nicely.

thanks for the review!

[Failed Love]

Long time no hear ;)

Hi Jackie!

This song is a real double kill.

Firstly you played on your real piano which has a really beautiful sound. Furthermore the recording quality is astonishing.

Secondly the melody is sad but very beautiful. It's really a melodramtic piece which lightens up in the end.

But the thing which I like the most is this emotional playing of a good piano player like you are.
I think I can hear that you had a really good time while playing this ;).

Because of that things I added this song to my NG playlist.

keep it up!

[_-={Remember Us}=-_]

Great!

You give a lot of your pieces an epic touch and I like that very much. Your handling with the instruments (when it comes to where and when) is very good and still improving I think.
The song got an asian touch to me because of the melody and that fiddling instrument (of which I don't know the name ^^).
Nice arrangement, nice instruments and nice melody!
I love it and added it to my NG playlist :)

keep it up!

MaestroRage responds:

That oriental feel comes directly from the Oriental instrument the Koto. It's simply a brilliant instrument which can be used both as a very sweet guitar like state, alongside the quick plucking wonder it delivers here.

I love epic tracks. It consumes my very soul :'(

I'm glad you liked this track, I hope it entertains you for several hours! Thank you for the review ^^.

[(FW) Battle]

nice!

A packing song with a nice tension build up (starting at 1:20).
The strings in the first part of this piece where an interesting and good choice and combined with the drums it's great ;).
Fits very good with the idea of battle music.

keep it up!

[(nal1200) Reminiscence]

cool piece

A piano work with some interesting ideas.
But the timing how you mixed every single note together sounds a bit strange and the slight distortion at the end when the synth plays together with the piano in is a bit deranging.
Other than that it's cool :)

keep it up!

nal1200 responds:

I think you're referring to the chorus sounding off one beat. I tried the other way around with the first note being a pickup, but it didn't sound as cool as this. The distortion at the end is a total messup. Didn't think that was the music, but my laptop. If I remix this, i'll be sure to fix that. Thanks!
