DarKsidE555's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[DonkeyKongCountry2 - Metalized]

Nice!

Yeah, get's you from the start. The guitar sounds very aggressiv. Like speedy said, there are some fuzzy parts in there. Hm, unusual.

Overall, nice.

4/5.

rocker206 responds:

Yeah I dont know, it could be the way I recorded that one. Oh well thanks for the review.

[Tribute To F-Zero]

Ok!

It's an ok tune, but the hell...guitar generators suck hard. Thats why I only give 5 in Clarity and 6 in Effort. It's just sounds sterile and not "real".

Drums sound nice, maybe a lil bit blank but doesn't bother much.

Give it 3/5.

Xyanide responds:

Well you see that's the thing about guitar generators I tried to make them sound better with a bit of chorus effect over it because if you don't put any effects over it. If you only knew how to make them sound like this you might have given me more points for effort :P

[Subdue The Beast]

I'm a lazy bastard XD

Yeah, been busy the time around so I didn't wrote many reviews the last time. Hm, I voted that means that I must a review now. damn. >_<

The Track is fucking nice, love the pintch harmonics...I'm a little freak with that babys ^^
Sweeping sounds good, I know how hard to play this shit is. >_<

I heard some little playing errors here and there, but fuck it, it's cool.

And now for a final question, what did I vote? ^^

Cheers, over and out!

FlameMesial responds:

First of all, thanks for reviewing!

Thanks for the compliments, yes sweeps can be fooking 'ard as 'ell.

Yeah I fucked some stuff up, but yeah, who gives a fuck?

I think you voted zero, you conniving backstabbing bastard!!

Cheers Dood!!

[Mega Man 2 - Woodman]

remember me!?

If yes, good, if not...I was that "asshole" who started all that "self-downloader-thingy".

So, how did I came up with this idea you may ask. Well, I checked out the track, thought, yeah not bad and wanted to leave a review for it. But before that I updated the site and saw that the dl's raised more than fucken fast. Ok, how could this be I thought. Your site wasnt up at that time and you were pretty new to the audio portal, not a bad thing, but it was strange. A new artist there, reaches Platinum in less than 7 hours!?

Ok, so I watched the dl's rise and rise, and it just stopped going up so fast (20-40 dl's in each 20 seconds) just at Platinum-status! Then I thought, ok now it smells really funny. And the rest...well, you know the rest...

Maybe I should have waited with it, or didn even started a thread about it, cause now your site is up again, I checked it and I saw that there are many people out there who are listening to your work/s. Easier to say, it was stupid.

It's not my manner to missjudge somebody and I see now that I made a mistake, so therefore I apologize. I just hope that you now can better understand my motion to start such an "propaganda" about this 1 track and I hope we can be artists who are respecting each other.

--------------------------------------------------

To the track itself:

Good track, though the guitars sound a lil fuzzy and flat to me, you could put a little bit more effort in the playing. Overall good one.

I give it 4/5.

--------------------------------------------------

Just a friendly advice at the end:

It's not a good idea to rate 5 for your song just when you put them in the portal and got no review or dl for it. Cause some or many idiots will directly zero vote without listen to it first. It would be better if you vote 4. Cause in this way you get more attention, even if it sounds stupid, and those nice zero voters oversee you the most time.

ZombiePosessor responds:

Woah. No harm, no foul dude, I don't mind. Its cool that you had the balls to apologize tho. Yeah, I've taken note of that "don't vote 5 for yourself" thing, it makes a lot of sense. About the guitars, I use a different way of recording them now, with an m-audio box, so in my newer stuff, they don't sound flat. That was always a problem I had, how flat they sounded. Thanks for the review dude.

[Dueces Wild]

Not bad!

You already said that the demo is crappy. Beside from that it's not bad, some nice riffs in there.

Vocals sometimes sound weird, but I think it's because of the shitty quality.

It confuses me a little, cause the track has no real start and aprupt ending. The structur is yeah, a little confusing to me. ^^

But apart from that, nice.

[Rage (updated)]

Still not good enough!

Ok, if I turn my volume up high now I can hear the loop, but it is still to quiet.

I don't know what kind of program you use for recording and mixing, but get some tutorials for modifying your amplitude.

The loop is ok, maybe the riffs could sound a little more varied. Try to change them a little. Overall it could be ok, if it was louder.

Only can give you 1/5 for this, sry man. Hope you don't get me wrong.

Mini-Media responds:

thanks for the review...I will try harder next time
