Lokatt's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[|Baldur's Gate: Town Square|]

And in the Onyx tower...

Later, when speaking to Kheledon, you can hear the original song playing just barely there (if I remember- I haven't played Dark Alliance for ages).

Sad part being, that small bit of plot right in the tower connecting the tavern to the tower was the only real plot in the game once the first act was over.

VGSongbird responds:

yes it did play... I think.. it's been a while for me too ;)

Thanks for the 8! ^_^

Fuck Lyrics

Listen to the Stork Theme by Atomic Bitchwax and try to tell me that it could be improved with lyrics- because it can't. Seriously. Instrumental songs can be much more powerful than any songs with lyrics.

gOrc responds:

Of course they can, lyrics always punch the instrumental progressions in the back and nobody listen to the little details in riff and melody anymore! thanks for the review.

[Distant Night (NW)]

Nice job.

For someone not really well-versed in FL, the song is very nice. The instruments sound good, the rhythms are there, and you don't seem to be lacking anything vitally important.

There's two big things I think could be improved- transitions and repetitiveness. The transitions don't flow very well- it's a straight cut between one thing into the next. As for the repetitions, the last quarter of the song doesn't evolve or build very much on what you had already done before.

Hopefully this is helpful.

Nikowolf responds:

yeah it is. I was hoping to like extend the last part of the song so it sinded nice for an end but idk how to do that yet xD.

Anyways thanks for review =]

[Tales of Symphonia - Fatalize]

Good, with some bad,

First, Kudos for actually doing SOMETHING with the baseline and actually having DRUMS! That's more than any other remix I've heard.

But, that's also the problem with the song- the melody is a little too soft and understated. Otherwise, this kicks the other remixes' butts on drums and base alone. Only one I'm downloading.

BlueSkar23 responds:

Thanks a lot, man. I'm back from my dormant state and I'd say I'm a lot better at using FL now. Look out for a Fighting of the Spirit remix!

:D

[Fatalize RMX]

Bah-

I think this remix has two main issues- the tempo seems relaxed and the guitars.

About the tempo, I can't suggest much. Move the bass part and get a more developed drum line going.

As for the guitars- I think it has something to do with not being clear enough. Fatalize moves fast, and using instruments that aren't well defined comes out muddy.

DJ-HappyFace responds:

Hmmm...Fair enough. Keep in mind I made this quite a while ago, and If I went back to remake it peopel would complain lol. Thanks for the advice, I'll keep it in mind.

[+*. TOS - Fatalize (2) .*+]

Ugh

The church organ sound is horrible.

Special-Ed responds:

Just out of curiosity, did you happen to listen to the whole thing? It's a bad habbit of mine to start songs with a boring, or slow version lasting just one measure or so, and then break into the intense rest of the song. If you did hear the whole song, then I'm sorry for the terrible sound.

[[SD] Strollin']

Whoa.

I didn't even notice that this HAD looped.

SupraDarky responds:

lol, I guess that's a good thing! :)

[~EnV~Heaven Rd. 3]

Evolution

This song has evolved quite a bit from its first incarnation. Each one has gotten more complex, a little more fluid and graceful. My favorite part of this one is right from 2:10 to 2:20, where the drums in the background drive and build the music back up to the chorus again.

Very nice work.

Envy responds:

Thanks 8D They get more complex as I learn new stuff so that I can make them more complex... Some people dont like them being this complex... But thats my style so theyre gonna have to get used to it XD
