DarKsidE555's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-The Fallen-]

Sweet!

Some nice melodical work here dude. I agree with speedy about the guitars. They could have been a little more up in the mix and thicker sounding but it's not too bad. I enjoyed the intropart very much and for me it could have stay in that style.

The heavier part was cool as well, nice wanking together of the guitars. The drums had a good tone also. The transitions could be a little smoother though, it takes a little bit energy out of the song but not too bad here as well.

Overall it was some very nice recording. Good job there dude!

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for -The Fallen-, raising its score from 4.31 to 4.36.

[Fallen Shadows]

Nice but needs work!

Your drums? Or did Bad_Man lay a hand here? ;D I guess those are drums by my old fart. haha. If not, good work on them, nice overall tone.

Sadly, the guitar tone didn't satisfied me. Very blurry to say at least. Give your guitar a little more compression do get it pumped up. Also, double the guitar layers for a thicker sound and don't forget to start EQ'ing your shit asap. You'll hear the difference. The riffs were pretty simple, though, they made their job.

Practice a little bit more on the solo, since it sounded more like a jam around then a structured solo to slap someone with. ;D

The structure of the tune was good and for your first real one it came out great.

Keep it up! :D

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 4 for Fallen Shadows, lowering its score from 4.25 to 4.20.

darkskoot responds:

ya i did the drums and the main reason the guitar sounded bad is because i have a $1 mic. once i get a good mic i'll make some good quality songs
thx for the review i'll take these pointers into mind

[Unstoppable (effortless vox)]

Interesting!

Yeah, sounds more industrial than metal to me but it's cool. As mentioned in bad_man's review, it was chaotic but fitting the same time. Lyrics plz? Or was it just random shit?

A let-down in this tune was...The "kick". It was way to overdone in the mix. It's kinda annoying really.

The rest is just fucking psycho. Could fit well in an experimental flash or some sort. Nice sound as well.

Something different, yet refreshing.

Keep it up man!

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for Unstoppable (effortless vox), raising its score from 4.00 to 4.17.

soulmasking responds:

-lyrics are at the end of the response-

Yeah, I would say it's more than likely both genre, but they don't really allow "multi-classes" on ng, so I picked what I felt it was closet to.

I also can understand people's aversion to my drumming. I know it overwhelms the songs and can even take away from everything else in it. While I do understand the problem, I can't say I'm gonna change it much. I love heavy drums, but I can see what you mean with the "kick". It is a bit loud, and does get monotonous after awhile.

I appreciate your critique and I will keep it in mind for future projects. Thanks for your compliments as well (+ the 5 & 10)! I appreciate your awesome review and you can bet I sure as hell will keep it up!

[Organic Pulsating(LOOP)]

Haha!

Now whats this? Laughed my ass off at first. Pretty unusual stuff from you man. Funny sounding as well. XD

Good job! ;D

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks Homer..I got a shitload of this shit kickin around on my computer. May upload more ..

Thanks for the review and vote!

[MacabreMaleficence]

Well...

fuck mee sideways. Druggy as fuck stuff right there. Boob on guitar distortion. Sounds a little bit "uncontrolled" but that makes it cool.

Drums had a nice tone as well. Maybe the cymbals could have been panned better, since they are going down-under in the mix pretty much.

Overall it made my head go up and down, especially in the faster part later on! \m/ Loops pretty good too!

Eat ma five you SOB!

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for MacabreMaleficence, raising its score from 4.50 to 4.57.

[StompMosh - Squishy Mix]

Cool shiat!

Awesome groove there. Nice use of fx. Especially like those "fuzz / distorted" drums in the beginning and later on.

Cool stuff dude!

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for StompMosh - Squishy Mix, raising its score from 4.00 to 4.50.

encino187 responds:

Thanks, you know how it is sometimes, you think people will appreciate it and then it gets slammed(moreso when you enter it into a contest lol).

I appreciate the compliment.

[Blizzard Wolfgang]

Oh yeah!

Great opening there. Sry, I couldn't provide the wanted sounds. Only thing I have to bug here is the volume. Waay too loud in the final master output. That, and it seems like that you clashed too much freq. together with the Equalizer, because of the fuzz here and there.

Other than that, I enjoyed the remix you set up. Some tiny mastering errors but good stuff none the less!

Gets ma 5!

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for Blizzard Wolfgang, raising its score from 3.80 to 4.00.

Zero-Resurrected responds:

I had a hard time trying to fix the final mastering levels. If I go and do this one again sometime, I will be sure to try and fix it.

[Megaman X-style Boss Battle!]

Very good!

Sounds more like something out of Mega Man X5 - X6. Still very smooth. Not much else to say here. This track has quality, battle feeling for sure and "use me in flash" written all over it. ;)

Awesome work there! Keep it up!

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for Megaman X-style Boss Battle!, raising its score from 3.78 to 3.90.

Spiriax responds:

Yeah, when I wrote "Megaman X-style" I meant over the whole series, and X5 - X6 foremost. :) Actually it is heavily inspired by the Megaman X5 Boss Battle track.

Thanks man!! :D
