ZuwerWS's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[What is an elevator?]

I like how you mixed it, it's once strong on the left ear and then it's strong on the right, and then it comes all together. I really like that drum ride in the second half. Overall a very solid track, not amazing, it's pretty good.

[Jamuary 4th - Generic Midi Loop]

Well it sure is a test track, I still feel like it's perfectly fine, maybe could have finished it up to loop it and after the 3rd time it'd quiet down, but yeah I can understand you wouldn't want to do a brand new song on each day. so this is servicable.

MauveDash responds:

I wanted to, HOWEVER I genuinely couldn't (an all-nighter after a 4 hour sleep does that) and threw out a random test I made whilst trying to come up with ideas for Day 2

[Counting Steps and Scales]

I like your idea for it, although I feel like if you would want to go for such a thing the whole thing should have been slowed down, or rather fastened up to a 3/4 or 3/8 instead, to make it seem like more of a practice, the song itself is pretty nice to listen to. I don't have any big issues with it, I think it's fine, just lacks a proper ending.

ButterBees responds:

All of these songs are meant to loop, so I don't really get what you mean by a proper ending. But I do kind of see what you mean by changing the time signature thing. That's an interesting idea that I didn't have at the time of writing (literally last night lol).

Thanks for the feedback!

[JourneyJam]

this is really cool, I like the melody the guitar and the drums, it's about right

Arponax responds:

well, lets go even further beyond today. XD

[High Noon at Midnight]

Day 3 of Jamuary? Already? that's like 1/10th of the month gone by now, woah. It's gonna be a shame when it end because here you come with yet another great piece, and man I love how you change the keys right before the middle so rappidly. And chords don't have a 'correct order' for you, you somehow make completely disstatched chords work together really well by really going into the uncharted territories. My only issue with this is that there's no real ending.

Also if you are going to tell one of your favourite recent OSTs, then I have to recommend the ost to Gunman Clive, it's not great, but it's a silly little game I recently 100% on my 3ds and it deserves credit where it's due since it does what it sets out to do very well.

ButterBees responds:

You don't know how much I appreciate comments like these. It really makes my day!
I also recommend checking out some of my stuff from the last year or two! I've really been doing my best to improve over these past few years.

Thanks for the recommendation too! I'll be sure to check it out.

[Chocnoon - Hazardous Mansion (CDXCIX)]

I read it as temporary and I have been dissapointed, as there awaited me no secretary /j

I feel like this is fine, once again, not much to say. I know it might be annoying, but I do think all of your songs so far have just been decent. Although the end definitely makes this my favourite out of the trilogy so far.

MWMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM responds:

You've listened the Mansion Trilogy? That's cool!


I appreciate that this song was your favourite of the trilogy.

[Flame of Passion]

Here's Day 3, let's see how the story continues you guys :flushed: (yes that was intentional).
if I had to point out one thing, or actually two things is that the drums DEFINITELY SHOULDN'T GO ABOVE ODCB (that usually worsens the quality of the sample), and a smaller issue, and really nitpicky one at that would be right before the song actually starts the sample cracks a bit I believe. If the drum issue were fixed, then it would've been easily 4 out of 5 stars, but man is that too annoying of an issue for me. I'm ranking all of the songs by how they got released and what I think while listening to them, I list out what I think could be improved on and why. This is Why I gave it such a low score, because once again I really do feel nauseous when listening to it. I hope you don't think about this one score too much, but please keep it in mind (although the problems I described might be because I'm autistic and really sensitive to certain noises because of that)

JinZ responds:

Thanks for your feedback

[Emerald Timber (Jamuary 2)]

Did you use the minecraft SF2?
Also woaaah kirby great. This is more of how many SF2's can I spot, there's also definitely I think something from the mother series? This is also short and sweet, Definitely sounds like something you'd hear before the end credits, a little cutscene like in Kirby's Adventure or like in Super Mario Land 2. Good stuff

CarpetBakery responds:

It's all Kirby instruments except the crash cymbal and realistic oboe

[Jamuary 3rd - Sleeping The Night Away]

Yeah the inspiration from PMD is clear, even though I only played to the first game on the 3ds, and listened to Super's ost, and didn't really enjoy about half of both, I can say I really like the franchise. It's short and sweet (this song) like they say.

[BRKNBT (Day - 2)]

This is a pretty solid track I have nothing against it, it's neither great nor bad. i gave the scared emoji to SamaadBae5 because I felt like it'd be funny

Bunchie responds:

I appreciate your feedback! What can I do to make the track better?
