larrynachos's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Combustible Lemons]

Wow, the intro builds up to a fantastic climax! I was a bit skeptical of the dialogue, but it fit in perfectly!

Cacola responds:

Glad you like it!

[Time Travel Duck]

Not feeling the beat or melody at all, man. It honestly just sounds like you placed notes randomly ;_;

Fizzento responds:

I'll admit, I'm not good at coming up with melodies. I (usually) DO place notes randomly, and then think of a melody of it from there until I think it sounds good.

[Moonlight System (Collab)]

I like the bouncy feel, but the hi hat just doesn't fit.

Cacola set the stage, and Tvvist fuckin DESTROYED

This is sick, guys!

Cacola responds:

Thanks! The high hat probably could have been introduced more gracefully, it would've sounded better.
Tvvist did an amazing job, he was awesome to work with!
Glad you enjoy it!

[Tir Na Nog]

Probably my favorite piece from Chrono! Everything is just so RIGHT about this piece. Jordi's vocals are as wonderful as ever ^-^

ChronoNomad responds:

Huzzah! Many, many thanks for that. ^__^

Yeah, I can't help but love the heck out of this piece, myself. It was also a ton of fun to make! I'd be curious to see what you think of an older piece that I did, and my most popular track by far (for some bizarre reason), Forever Fantasy.

[Radical Dreamers]

Beautiful <3

ChronoNomad responds:

Right? Yasunori Mitsuda is an inspiration, and I really enjoyed making a cover of his incredible composition. As much as I love making new music, I'll probably always do covers and remixes when the spirit moves me...

[Exploring the Rift]

A+ work here, man. The drum beat, the lead, it's all so good!

ChronoNomad responds:

Space. The final frontier. These are the voyages of the starship ChronoNomad. To boldly go where no one has gone before...

A+ is good. I will never turn down an A+. Thanks for another quick review!

[Pendragon Legacy]

Man, I'm going down the list of all your songs, and this stuff just keeps getting better and better!

Ah, might I ask what soundfonts you're using for the woodwind and string instruments at around 0:16? I can't seem to get proper sounding instruments from the vsts I use :(

Keep up the good work! I hope your other songs are as good as this!

ChronoNomad responds:

Hooray! So glad that you like the music. There's certainly plenty of it to peruse... :3

The stringed instrument is called aaviolin, and for a soundfont it's kind of amazing (imho). The woodwinds are a mixture of Ocarina and Ocarina Glissando, with a smattering of Ocarina Staccato in the chorus. It's also a soundfont--well, technically three soundfonts that come together as a set. Heck, most of what I use is soundfonts, believe it or not. The only VST I actually used in this was DSK World StringZ. Go figure. xD

Ah geez, this is too good! So simplistic, yet so energetic! The mastering is excellent, and everything just kinda "clicks" together. Teach me your secrets >A<

ChronoNomad responds:

Do I have secrets? Hmmm... I guess if I do, it's to just make music for yourself. Other people will vacillate between loving and hating the music you make, so trying to please the general public is simply an act of futility. I also love to make a wide variety of music across numerous genres because, well...why limit oneself? So I guess the secret would be more of a philosophical one: be true to yourself.

All that aside, I really appreciate the slew of reviews you're giving me! I'll be responding to each one in turn as I am able. Thanks for being so awesome. :)

[Cracked Pavement]

Oh dang, this is great! I agree with johnfn, the samples are kinda awful, but it's still fantastic.

Congrats on 170 fans! (I was the 170th lol ^-^)

ChronoNomad responds:

Haha thanks, larrynachos! Congrats on being my 170th fan, thanks for the kudos, and I'm glad you enjoy the jam. If I can do this with such godawful samples, just imagine what I could do with the good stuff! ^__~

[Attempt at Something]

There's not really much I can say about this, other than the fact that it's awesome!

Good luck in the NGADM ^-^

introstalge responds:

Thanks man :)
