Aalasteir's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Recently]

Your atmosphere is great, bass is mixed well, and the unique sounds make for a great composition.

JamesHeart responds:

trying to find the strange but satisfying while also not going to far to harsh this ear of the listener.

Thank you

The wide bass in this was an experiment as the best thing for a bass is to keep it mono so I'm glad the bass isn't weak ^^

[Pop Pinned]

Excellent, personal and great style. Additionally, your chorus is very good!

JamesHeart responds:

Thank you
was worried about the vocal quality a bit
not the most confident in recording as of lately with my recording area all being wood floored

I'm glad it its doing well
like throwing spaghetti at a wall and hoping it sticks ^^

[VoicesWithCorey - Episode 1 - Joe Porter]

Thank you so much, @VoicesByCorey, for creating your podcast. I enjoyed listening your episode, and overall, the experience is overwhelmingly positive. Excellent music, @heyopc!

You have a great sense of humor, @DrEojPuerte!

Please, what do you think about this?

I get distracted from the conversation by the background music. I find it much easier to focus on the conversation when there is no looping background music. The intro music is great, and I think it’s a wonderful addition.

Please, would you be interested in creating a playlist for your podcast?

@VoicesByCorey, I respect you for showing vulnerability about your emotions and dealing with Imposter syndrome. I did not know that; I would have never guessed that you felt that way. What I respect most is your honesty, genuineness, and the respect you show.

Thank you, @VoicesByCorey @DrEojPuerte @heyopc you make Newgrounds more awesome!

[JOEL TRUSSELL | CREATIVE BLOCK #174]

Great episode with amazing stories! I absolutely enjoyed discussing the unique charm of creating bad, ugly drawings. Also, House MD is a great comfort show.

[Operations]

Absolutely amazing! Your rhythm is immensely well-crafted!

JamesHeart responds:

Thank you!! ^^

bits of the percussion just happened it fall into place on its own
I ended grabbed the right drum samples randomly at the start

[MCKENZIE ATWOOD | CREATIVE BLOCK #172]

It's amazing to think that skills come from doing what you find fun, and the importance of soft skills like communication and being able to listen to directions helps a lot.

I was actually shocked when I heard about the working on projects segment when you're not familiar with the source material. I thought that was an almost necessity every time, but actually, it is not a necessary, and I didn't realize that!

I also really enjoyed the voice acting segments; they were very funny. That surprised me! I would say this is the funniest episode I've heard of Creative Block so far!

[Broken Robot]

James! Your song has amazing energy, a great sense of adventure, and excellent power. Makes me feel happier, and I always feel transported into a wild and immersive landscape.

Your attention to detail and skill in creating your absolutely amazing music, crafting a story with such powerful sound and variations with soul, gave me goosebumps. At the two-minute mark of your song, I felt enriched by how you balanced your instruments and created excitement. I'm always happy that your song is royalty-free; you have a kind heart.

An excellent conclusion at the end of your song, very exciting and full of awesomeness!

JamesHeart responds:

｡ﾟTヮT Thank You!

This means a lot ~
I was really having fun with this
I wonder what world you saw ᵔᵕᵔ

royalty-free or whatever you wanna do with it yup yup

[Walk]

There is a strong emotional undercurrent of melancholy, and you convey a sense of vulnerability and strength very effectively. I admire the uniqueness and personality of your song. I wish I had more of the same abilities as you to convey such ferocity and strength, almost to a powerful, tear-inducing level. It's evident that you're pushing and utilizing your musical tools to be unique, and I deeply respect your fearlessness in experimenting with the auditory landscape.

I can confidently say that one of your major strengths is your bravery in expressing yourself. This song is from four years ago, and I can see that you have maintained this strength throughout.

[New Found Language]

I enjoy your positivity and bounce in your music. It speaks a language of music, and I think you express it very well with excellent fluidity, the sublime, and a sense of happiness! The atmosphere is presented in a way that creates a sense of progression and changes, invoking a feeling of wander and adventure!

And how you transition from a quiet part to a part with extra energy makes the progression feel impactful. I definitely enjoy the quiet parts and how they contrast with when the energy pops up. You have an excellent skill in creating a well-defined structure in your music, and I believe you should give yourself immense credit for the passion, heart, and soul that you put into your music. You should be very proud of your abilities that you have worked hard to cultivate, which are unique and personal to you.

[Inktober #28 - New Found Groove]

James is awesome! The guitar is very unique and absolutely great! The collaboration is excellent, and it's super amazing how well the creative flow works. What impresses me is the variation in your ability to use different patterns in your rap and the depth of soul. Your rhymes are great, and they fit so well.

I really enjoyed the song. Your lyrics are excellent; I appreciate how creative they are and how much ground you cover with strong, imaginative imagery. The emotions you convey are powerful.

@Cyberdevil I thought the intro sounds resembled a guitar XD

You make an excellent team! @JamesHeart @Cyberdevil

Cyberdevil responds:

Is there... a guitar?! These instrumentals really carry an impressive level of detail, I may have missed certain layers here to this day... may need some better speakers...

Appreciate the compliments man. :) I cringe a bit at my annunciation and tone going back to these old ones, but I'm glad you liked it; am still proud of the writing for sure! James brings out the best in these.

Thank you!
