MRM3's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[To The Death [Jamuary Day 2]]

Hey Q!
It's MRM3, I just got back on NG a bit ago after life had dragged me away from this community. So glad to see mah fav artist (you) is ...are?... still here and making great music! Literally music to my ears lmfao
Flawless work, as usual. I find it slightly frustrating when someone just keeps putting out pieces that I can't really criticize.
The atmosphere you maintain is really something. You create a void of something that seems like nothing to compose over, and I'm not exactly sure how you do it.
Still love your drums >.<
The Reeses are really well set in the track. A seeming chaotic energy that has been tamed, subdued and caged, raging and clawing for a grasp, yet obeying and playing along as you've arranged. It contrasts very nicely with the ambiance of the backdrop.
Hope life's treating ya well, and hope to keep hearing from ya!

Quarl responds:

Hey you, I suppose it has been a minute. Thank you so very much for the words. There's always a flurry of activity on Newgrounds so without an update like this I might not have realized you were absent until much later. At your age I'd suspect life to drag you away often, those early 20s can be rough and tumultuous. I got no complaints about life, my blog has all sorts of DIY projects constantly taking my attention but Jamuary means I'll be here everyday for at least the next month :D

Very glad to hear from you YayJay, and fun new name. I might not have caught it if you hadn't said something :3

Hey dood happy holidays!

I am doing okay! I have had some medical problems but I am getting past them.

I am still writing and will be posting more music soon.

Glad you are still here!

[Thing]

Honestly, I like the rhythmn throughout the song.
I am too tired to give feedback now. Maybe later!
Keep up the good work!

On a more serious note,
So, a few things here. Try to make the notes flow a little bit better together, It almost sounds like notes were put onto a midi sheet, in half/whole/quarter notes and sorta just left there. Maybe there are some note overlaps where I wouldn't put them. I like how you drew out those few notes at around 5 seconds. I'm not sure where you're going with this, i.e. what genre you're aiming at, but try to build a chord progression and layer notes over than progression to make it flow better.
A little EQ goes a long way in creating a better sound, layered with some reverb, test out some effects on the instruments to liven it up a bit! Creating dynamic notes, i.e. not having all notes sound exactly the same, making some of them softer, and some louder, creating glissandos and crescendos is a great way to spice up your composition!

Keep at it!

[Tempora]

From a compositional standpoint, you really nailed it here.
I love all of the harmonies, the chords you used, and the instrumentation you painted the chords with, and the melodies floating over them. 5/5
From a mastering standpoint, you're a good bit of the way there!
What's good: No clashing between instruments, no clipping, good instrument volume balance, good EQ across the track
What can be improved upon: dynamics within the track, accenting certain notes, bringing precussion and drums a little more into view, instead of being so far in the background
4/5
Total 9/10
Overall, really grand track, With a bit of mastering, this track could really blow my socks off. Really well done! I love how the track changes often enough to not become boring and repetitive, but stays constant enough to be thoroughly enjoyed on the whole journey!
Keep up the great work, looking forward to hearing more from you!

Thank you so much for the feedback! I saw this instantly and went back into the original project in order to try and bring the drums out more (admittedly, I was lazy with the mixing on the drums so they were all processed as one track which was a big nono) and reuploaded the audio so hopefully now it'll sound clearer. It really warmed my heart to read your review and I'm so happy you enjoyed! :)

[Forest chirp]

Could very well be backing music for a game like MC.
I like how it's vague enough to be able to be enjoyed without being paid attention to. Like I could put this in the background and not //listen// to it but enjoy it thoroughly.
For what it is, It's well done.

TheHerowither responds:

The funny thing is, i made this song for a game that i am working on

[Felix Zophar - ROYAL]

Nailed the atmosphere, there is no clash between the different parts. I love the custom fills, the mastery modulation in the drop. The different segments are just that perfect length, where you want them to be longer, but if they were longer, they might become too repetitive, so the only way to get your fix is to listen again lmao.
Kicked ass on this one bro.

[Jomekka - Eighto (Keany Remix)]

I would listen to this above the original. any. day.
I really don't like Eighto, but you've made it into something i enjoy!! :DD
Very well done! love it!
And I really love the bridge, I am a sucker for bridges, and yours does not let me down in the least! :DD

KeanyGD responds:

Wow man, this means a lot to me, really, I'm so very happy you liked it :)))

[New journey]

Ooo the atmosphere :DD
does have some dissonancies, don't know if they are intentional or not.
Do love the absolutely detuned feel.
nice job!

Gougou responds:

Thanks :)
I wasn't sure if I had to upload it because it was more like a test song but I think I made the right choice :)
