SuperGoodSound's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Muse]

if this is the first song you've ever made

then good work. it shows you can pick things up quickly. Drums really aren't bad. Synths will likely get "fatter" as you master techniques of layering, synthesis/sample and synth programming, and fx routing (parallel, modular, insert and otherwise). Synthesis and even techno can become such a deep field to the people who really investigate it that it might seem overwhelming. Maybe you'll get to the point one-day where you can code your own synths (difficult task to do it right, to be sure) and you'll no longer need to rely on other people's inspiration for virtual instrument ideas.

whichever path you might take, just make sure to try new things and invest in the best possible monitoring environment you can (behringer truths would be a good start unless you've already got a better pair or mix with headphones). always remember that there is a better way to do things.

hmmm...interesting

funny, because I linked over here after seeing Swolfx had favorited one of my songs. Then I saw the only other selected favorite she had was this one. Now I can see why. I'm really pretty truly impressed by your 'portfolio'. You're 18? And you're this prolific? You've got an amazingly good sense of harmony as evidenced by this piece alone and I would venture to say that you probably play piano (at least, most people can't just "MIDI" their way through a piano and epiano melody like that). I would also venture to guess that you probably want to make a career of either scoring films or writing video game music...because most of your music is basically perfectly suited for it and it'd be foolish to think that you didn't have a very good shot at making it a career.

Good luck in your ventures. I encourage you to keep composing (and especially to remain as prolific as you currently are - the more practice you get, the easier things start to come). So I'm curious though...what do you use as a DAW (do you have multiple?). What are your vst instruments of choice? Controllers? Monitoring setup? Hardware? Audio Interface(s)? I'm rather interested in what your setup is like.

I made this with the factory presets in Reason 3.0, and Im using the program stand alone right now. Although once I become more knowledgeable in Ableton(it came with my M-Audio midi controller) I plan on syncing the two programs up, cuz I heard they work really well together.

You hit the nail on the head with your prediction of my goals. Good to know that you see a future in me! I'm going to give your stuff a looksee in a bit.
