SokolMusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[EDEXY - New Decade (Intro)]

I can easily picture this being used in a trailer for a Roland Emmerich film or something along those lines. I do think though there could be a little more energy for the large drum ensembles. Other than that, it sounds great!

edexy responds:

Wow :o Thank you:)

Sounds good, but in my humble opinion, it could use some more reverb and polish.

A few of those VSTs that you have listed are in my wish list; can't wait for their next sale and add them to my palette. I do get tired of working with Garritan Personal Orchestra 5.

I would check out Alex Moukala's Youtube Channel to learn more about making orchestral music. His favorite VST is Metropolis Ark 1 and he uses it well.

KevinMueller responds:

Thanks for the feedback. :) I'm always scared that too much reverb destroys my mix, but in this case I think you're right, a bit more reverb wouldn't have been bad.
I do know about Alex's YouTube channel (I learned almost everything I know about orchestral music from him).
Be aware that if you intend to buy for example Jaeger, you need to buy the FULL version of Kontakt, which kinda sucks. Also: some libraries qualify you for a cheaper upgrade to the full version of Kontakt. One is for example Hans Zimmer Percussion. Maybe Metropolis Ark 1 does so as well, but I'm not sure.

[Chant Of The Lone Wolf]

Not a bad track; some of the instruments could use a little more reverb in my taste. Other than that, good job!

Edit: Wow, congrats on being frontpaged!

I saw your website and I must say, I'm impressed. I've only been writing music as a hobby for a little over a year, and the music I have released so far sounds shoddy at best, so take my advice with a grain of salt.

Every comment & reaction is taken in consideration ! :)

It's nice to hear constructive feedback, may it be positive or negative, I don't mind as long as it's constructive.
I may be making music for a living, but it is difficult to reflect on your own personal projects, so having exterior reactions is always helpful to improve.

[Dark World Adagio Extended]

Outstanding soundtrack!

Haunting and emotional; I liked how it was used in the flash game "Vorago". Hearing it in the game led me here, and the extended version did not disappoint.

Thank you very much !
