Delina's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Walk In The Dark]

I can't decide

I'm really torn. I like the inventive lack of structure - its like a poem thats really good even though it doesn't rhyme or stick to meter, but its also unpleasently bouncing around. I think it would be perfect with a little more cohesiveness tying everything together. Otherwise it feels more like sound effects than a 'song'. But if thats what you were going for than awesome job.

alienfetus responds:

A lot of that has to do with my total ignorance about things like measure and meter and all that. I'm kind of just learning as I go. I'm glad you liked it though. Thanks for the review.

[~CoSS~Caelia (boss)]

Its pretty good

First part is the best, but it sounds like its trying to be too many things at once.

Deadchick responds:

I am not gonna lie, but yeah I would that is true. I couldn't think of much to do after that. Last time I do a song after pulling an all nighter.

[80's Alleyway Altercation]

This made me pull out my 48 Hrs Cd again

I wish I was a music major so I could be more specific, but when the song goes into its main part at :37 in, the xylaphone sounds too loud for awhile - maybe see if backing down on that when the music unfolds there to see if it doesnt make it a little more fluid. Overall I loved it. One of the better submissions today.

noumander48 responds:

The xylaphone part is loud in the mix toward the beginning and end because it's a 5/4 riff over the main melody in 4/4 time. I'll check it out and see how it sounds lower in the mix or just a decrescendo when the drum-kit drops in!

Thank you Delina,
glad you enjoyed the track and I much appreciate the review!

[ME- Still Alive (Final)]

Just above Mediocre

Thats a beautiful voice in a song that has a serious identity crisis. That voice is sultry and emotional, and a little gritty, but the music suffers so much from the contrast (as well as a lack of any stand-out instrumental preformances) that it really starts to sound like crummy soft techno. Plus the lyrics are kind of boring. I listened to it twice and all I can remember now is that she's alive and she wont apologize...everything out I zoned out for. Vocals would sound great in a remix and with a more complex bass line.

MilkGilk responds:

Better than nothing I guess. I'll keep working at it I guess...

[[gabber] Violent Stories]

Meh....

Its not bad at all, but it lacks all forms of melody through half the song. I think you could keep the heavy, sort of scratchy sound if you had an underlying melody that tied it together with all of the rest thats going on in it. Alot of times it just sounds like a bad mic. But it was cohesive, it was pretty impressive.

culmor30 responds:

Yeah, there's a lot of clipping on most of the instruments. As for melody, eh, I didn't want any. Whenever I try to add it, it makes the song feel happier, and I wasn't really going for that.
