Aalasteir's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Guns (Pico Day Mix) - Friday Night Funkin' UST]

Great teamwork! The song you have created is excellent, a barrage of violent flourishes that evoke an auditory combat scene. A legendary rap battle! The chart is not going to be easy on this one! Excellent for celebrating Pico Day and the Newgrounds community. You are all awesome!

MasterHand4444 responds:

Thank you Aalasteir!! I’m very glad you enjoyed it :D

[BACK TO IT AGAIN]

Lively and dancing energy, along with the fast-paced beats are very uplifting! You have an absolutely great sense of style Dieswyx!

[Uzi and Joy]

The atmosphere and sense of strength in your song are very powerful. It has a great balance of dynamics and a bouncy vibe. Your sound captures the essence of Newgrounds to the very core.

[World Goth Day Collab]

Absolutely amazing collab! Super cool to hear all the creative goth songs!

[A Sine of Relief Collab]

[Riding - Att 2]

The atmosphere is excellent, and the beat is well-structured and unique. Very atmospheric! Great melody!

Tysm!

Atmosphere is mostly created by this cool FL Studio plugin called "Fruity Convolver," it convolutes the sound and mimics a real space. The reverb is awesome, and imo it's better than Fruity Reeverb 2

For the structure I just decided a nice, chill buildup would be nice, glad to see it payed off!

For the melody, I had to redo it, (hence why it is named Riding - Att 2), actually I redid it multiple times, once on a complete do-over on a new project, and the other one was jus an edit.

Thanks for the feedback!

Hello from Newgrounds, Sam! Regular Show is an amazing show. I would say that it's a good idea to have a joke exercise book that gives you challenges, allowing you to solve them and challenge yourself to think of comedic scenarios and then improve them.

Thank you so much for sharing your input on my question at 1:29:21. You are right, I did not realize that in the professional animation realm, that mentality was not an issue.

Regarding Gordon Ramsay, he does have restaurants branded as Hell's Kitchen, which I didn't know. Additionally, it's also a place in Manhattan, Hell's Kitchen is also the name of his show.

I didn't know that you watched those types of YouTube videos! I enjoy watching: PatricianTV, SsethTzeentach, 2 Left Thumbs, BluShades.

Yes, Jason, you are exceptional! What really resonated with me in the episode is the discussion about being able to create ugly drawings. It is so pompous and stupid that people try to present their sketchbooks as finished art.

Knowing that it's okay not to show your sketchbook to anyone and to be happy with creating art for yourself.

That is a really good motivator for being confident in your creations. I feel that is extremely encouraging for people who struggle with confidence in drawing, knowing that it's okay to make bad drawings. I also enjoyed hearing about the concept of nonlinear story structure, where you create the exciting bits and then try to connect the parts with each other instead of following a straightforward system. I think that is a really good way of structuring a story, using a nonlinear system.

[Winter Solstice (full ver)]

Very cool and atmospheric. You have a good sense of progression, and the mix is balanced well.

MrMcMusic responds:

Thank you very much Aalasteir!

[Newgrounds Squatchcast #2 - Investigating with AlmightyHans]

Great to hear how the incidents are analyzed with a background in costuming and film, which gives a good perspective.
