Teckmo-X's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Expedition]

So here's the deal. This song is heading in a good direction but I think that it could do with some more instruments touching the song at the heart. From my view I like the cinematic entrance at the start and the chiptsune sounds pretty good however I would have considered adding a bit more to it. Some more synths should give it a bit more of a rhythm to the song and a bit more of a lively scenario. The lead needs a bit more work. From all your songs you seem to be able to conduct the rhythm perfectly fine with the various synths added but the lead also plays that important role where it catches peoples attention. It's important to remember that your rhythm and lead parts should correspond with each other to create a perfect melody. I liked the song throughout 2:12 where you hear more of that sweet chiptune sound. That's the kind of sound you want with your songs but don't just stop at one lead, go for two. With two leads you can maximize the songs true potential. Try to work on your lead parts and you'll be fine. Otherwise a nice soundtrack you got here.

Zechnition responds:

Ooo a big review, thanks! I definitely understand what you're getting at with getting multiple instruments to work together. You didn't mention much about mixing so I think i've gotten pretty good at that, now it's time to work more on composition and getting those instruments sounding perfect! =D

[Plains Theme]

I'm not 100% sure as how you started off but this sounds really good. What I like about this is the nice feel that it has in video games and it sort of brings out a nice welcome to something new. I'm feeling the 8-bit/ chiptune type of sound and it came out good. My only problem is that it was just not enough. When I say this it doesn't mean that it was bad, it just means it needed more of a fill. It shows some gaps in there that could have been filled for a much more lively effect. The sound is good regardless. Good work!

Edman520 responds:

Thanks for the advice! Ill try to work on that either refining this song or on my future songs.

[Stargazer]

This sounds good but I feel like it could use a little more. The track sounds a bit dull from the lack of instruments used. Either way it's good work.

Zechnition responds:

Thanks for your review! And more instruments, got it. =D

[The car chase]

This is pretty good but could have done with a bit more though. Either way came out great!

LaserVision responds:

Thanks ;) I get what you mean

[Pixeled]

I like it!

Zechnition responds:

Thanks!

[Elliphant - Club Now Skunk (REMIX)]

Really good. In my perspective it sounds like something I'd listen to when I'm about to get hyped for something epic. What Plugin did you use to get that grungy sound?

Djjaner responds:

Refx Massive 1.3

[Star Wars Cantina Song Cover]

Fucking awesome really!!! Love the smooth composition :D Plus I think this is a great tribute for the new movie

larrynachos responds:

Thanks a lot, Techmo!

[Read the DESCRIPTION!!!]

Now this wasn't bad but could be better. Either way it is still a good start up. Could do something with it but you'll have to send me a file copy. I can do FL Studio so msg me ;)

The-Cockenator responds:

this only took me a short time so yes it so uncomposed and so unorginized i just wanted to make a competition around it the Part after the violins and that wasnt really supose to be there but i will fix and patch all of it when i get some one who is ready to work on it with me :)

[.: Far Sky :.]

Wow :O This is just amazing!!! >.< It feels like I've just reached lvl 100 and I'm about to fight the Final Boss of the game. I can imagine it already. The fireworks, the epicness, the amount of eye shattering awesomeness just spewing out from every corner of the game. This is truly something I've never noticed before and it just get's me in the moment. I fucking LOVE THIS!!!!!! <(^.^>

larrynachos responds:

I never got the impression that this could be boss music, but I'm happy you like it so much!

[Last Era, Evening Stroll]

The most perfect song I've heard so far on my scavenge throughout Newgrounds. Sounds like it should definitely be in a game like MMORPG of sorts maybe something even more. Amazing job dude really great!

Darknessbreaker responds:

Such kind words of yours, thank you very much for them! :)
Well we worked as a pair on it and both of us made what he was good at i guess :3
I try to keep it up!
