DarKsidE555's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stumbling]

Fun times! :)

Ah yes, that was fun. Reminds me of the good old days when I sucked like hell as well. Your riffs weren't bad and the playing was pretty solid, though the soundquality and the overall emptyness is the problem. Of course you're just a beginner, so I give you some pointers what you could do to get a bit more out of your recording, than just a wall of sound. ;)

First off, if you don't already use audacity, download it. It's free and a good start in the world of recording. Of course you could buy a real recording program already but they are more complex as well. Audacity is good to learn some basics.

You def. need drums in order to pump out a solid track. Acoustica beatcraft is pretty ok for the start. Google it, you can free trail it for 14 days. Mixing/Recording takes time, so take it easy and don't get to hasty with it, good things require time.

If you have questions regarding your sound etc. feel free to visit the NG audio forum. Lots of musicians there that can help you with nearly evey questions.

All in all, keep it up! ;)

1/5

Alright man. Thanks for your help. I'll take all the advice I've gotten on here and other websites and my next song should be a lot better.

P.S. - Yeh, I do have Audacity. It's what I used to record this song.

[Rig, MRage, DS555 - Authority]

Dis da shit!

But I are in this as well. :(

Don't forget the provider of metally metal guitars! ;(

Hopefully Rage will send me something soon, I would really like to work on this one again. Never really heard this one before to be honest but it was nice surprise! :D

[Guess This! (T1)]

Green Day - Brain Stew

If you had played it better or at least with drums it would have been enjoyable. >___>

[The Unfilled Void x2]

All with the force young one!

Hehe, you didn't wait but that's not a big deal after all since you got all the shit down just like how it should be. Glad to hear that my ass kicking worked and hell how it worked. Just compare this with your first version and laugh at your wasted potential. ;)

Anyways, I bitched at this too much already so I just say, I enjoyed it like a cold beer on a warm sunny evening. Kicking fucking ass riffs! Listening to this over and over sometimes. :D

5up you fuck! ;)

[Megaman X]

lmao!

Been listening, been laughing. Congrats, you gotz a constant clipping track with this. XD

Funny to listen to old stuff and find all kinds of errors and flaws, even on my own shit.

Thanks yet again for that drum template for my version of it, you know best about the outcome there. hehe :)

[Pestilence]

Not bad!

For a start! I started out worse. ;)

Cool riffs there. Pretty clean structure and overall enjoyable to listen to. The guitars are a bit "fuzzy" for my personal taste but not bad at all. Drums could be eq'd a bit better and they could also be a little more up in the mix. Compared to the guitars, they are barely audible.

Overall though, pretty cool tune to start here. Liked the structure and feel of it! So, 5up as a welcome gift!

Have fun around the audio portal!

MOFAUX responds:

Thanks, i agree with you on the guitar tone not being sharp enough. This was the first song I recorded with my new guitar (ESP Ltd Viper 400) and my new Shure SM57, so I was kinda experimenting with the mic placement. My future songs will probably have better guitar sounds.

[Redneck Set Mixing]

Ima :3

This is fucking funny man and hey, no british accent. lawl. Nice story line and I really wouldn't think that all voices are done by you. You really put them down differently. That's cool, even for some cheap microphone shit.

I mean there is background static because of the noisegate/limiter I guess but overall. Fucking funny. Listened a couple of times to this. The Redneck sounds a little like bad-man. lololololol.

Anyways, good job homedawg! ;D

You know teh score!

[The Flutter Theme]

Not bad!

Nice guitar arrangement of the good old flutter theme. Some minor fuck up's here and there but overall, enjoyable to listen to! Like the original part as well. All in all, good job! 5up!

Welcome to the audio portal!

thehitocrimes responds:

yea the fuck ups, there cant be a song without some :P:P im glad u enjoyed it, :D

[Epidemic War]

Cool!

The opening kinda reminds me of a Mega Man Zero song. Inspiration maybe? ;)

Overall, this one builds a bit long for my taste but the rest is pretty smooth. Cool vox as well. Don't like the synth guitarness that much but it's not to bad in the mix.

Plus points for the lyrics. Cool!

3.68 / 5.00 (+ 0.091)

Schleif responds:

thanks man, much appreciated! mega man zero, eh? played it once, but can't really rememember the music. i'll have to check it out though =p. and yeah, synthesized guitars are crappy. that's a fact. but since i'm no guitar hero, that'll have to do for now, haha. thanks for checking \m/

[section_87]

Short...

but nice. The sound is good, a bit near at the clipping meter but it's still alright. Like the spectrum where the sound goes. Nice little loop there! :)

Keep it up!

Tokolos responds:

Thanks DarKside, much appreciated!
