Reddrad's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[forever [demo]]

i don't usually listen to stuff like this but i really like this song
everything just comes together perfectly. i really like how you've pulled this off

[Pink skies]

this is incredibly pleasant to listen to
it's kind of one of those songs where i just lay on my bed and play it as i cool off (i really hope that's a normal experience lol). makes sense; it's likely the description was based off an experience like that
love it

[Despair]

i like this a lot. it definitely gives off the feel of something very dramatic, and i think you've done it well. i normally don't like mass repetitiveness, but the way the piano loop changed slightly by only changing one note really brought some life to it
one thing i'd do differently is the strings. they don't sound bad, but the way their, if they were real instruments, bow changes directions feels so off. when i use strings, i like to have the next note slightly overlap the original one to make it feel more smooth and life-like
overall though, really enjoyable. i like it

[Dark Exultation]

jokes aside this is p good
it's obviously aged but regardless i like it

[AIM 2023 - a glimpse]

imma be real with ya this kinda sick
all of the instruments, especially the beginning guitar (i think, i don't play many instruments, i only compose), had a very beautiful sound
also, funny story, i was typing my review, and i had typed down "even though it is meant to be a solo instrument, i wish there was some more stuff giving it a little more depth", and well... i certainly got it at 0:46
that transition right there is a big turn off for me. it may seem picky, but when you have a very sudden loud part, it can really screw with listeners
regardless, this is a very nice song, albeit with a few things i personally would change. i wish the best of luck to you in the competition

[Withdrawal]

yoo
this kinda has like a heisty-feel to it yk, like if there was a segment in like a movie where a character was doing a stealthy heist of a bank or smth, this would be the music that plays
it just so happens to be that i love music like that, so good job. i dig it

Thanks a lot! Glad you like it.

[2003]

you may be onto something
i like this track, but there's one major problem: there is little variation among the song. it doesn't evolve, the melody doesn't change, it simply just is. you had the right idea with some of the other sections, namely at 2:54, but it goes for way too long without development, but if you keep cracking at music, you could be incredibly good
don't let my critiques discourage you. i genuinely believe that you could be great

[Cookie]

groovy
not my genre, but it's well made. a lil repetitive, more than i would like, but regardless, it's enjoyable. it reminds me of (and i mean this in the best way possible) of youtuber outro music. yknow that stuff from like 2015-2016, yeaaaa
p neat

[These Mistakes are Mine Alone]

nostalgia value aside, this song really captures that sad feeling that we can all hear, but it also feels nearly motivational at some parts. i do not have much to say simply because there is not much to expand on this. a masterpiece in songwriting, what else can i say?
