DarKsidE555's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-> JJR: Turtemple <-]

Not bad!

Don't know what the previous reviewer wants but judging a tune just with "theoretical" shit ruins the music. Get some feelings fella.

Anyways, to the track itself. You could have used some other VST's. The one's you've selected sound very flat without a good vibe. If the tune sounds that way in the original too, it's just fine but I think you can do much better.

Keep it up!

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 4 for -> JJR: Turtemple <-, raising its score from 2.86 to 3.00.

[Hynotized]

Quite relaxing!

Sadly it's so short. The "woobeling" chorus gives the hole track a kinda "underwater" feel. It's indeed, soft and calming. Good to lean back a few minutes and forget about everyday life.

Good job, keep it up man!

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for Hynotized, raising its score from 3.00 to 3.29.

[Call Of The Sky]

Nice one!

It's solid, not very much actionpacked but then again it's a kind of ambient like tune. I can see this as some menu music or something like that.

Good job on the track.

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for Call Of The Sky, raising its score from 3.57 to 3.75.

[Execution]

Tha quality!

Man, if the quality on this one would be better, it would kick some real ass. Can't bearly hear the good vibes.

Though I think it's too much downrated, so I'll give it a boost. :)

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 4 for Execution, raising its score from 1.75 to 2.20.

[The Cleansing]

Grooovy shit! \m/

Fucking sweet shit man, I like it a lot! At first there's that clean beginning and then it get's all RoooaR! \m/ The short breakdown was also a nice touch to the song man. Only thing I didn't really like was the tone of the snare and the volume of it. Didn't quite fit with the rest. :(

Dude...you definitely NEED Guitar Rig 2. Your guitar will sound so much better. Also your solo's. They are cool but way to much undergoing in the mix, whats pretty sad. :(

Anyways, good shit!

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE_555! You voted 5 for The Cleansing, keeping its score at 5.00.

speedmetalmessiah responds:

Yeah I wanted to switch the snare but I would of had to remake the entire drum track and I really didn't want to do that. Who knows for the vocal version I just might do it. Guitar Rig 2 would be pretty sweet I've been wanting that for a little while now. Thanks a lot for the review and the criticism Darkside keep it coming.

[to the core!]

Pretty nice!

I guess you know for yourself what you did wrong and what could be improved. ;)

For your first ever recorded track, it was good. Though, I can't hear the drums, or was the hi-hat just for timing?

Also, good opening riff, I would redo this one, building on that.

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE_555! You voted 4 for to the core!, lowering its score from 4.25 to 4.20.

darkskoot responds:

i had guitar drums and bass but something didn't work and the other tracks didn't play i guess

[downwards]

Not bad!

For your second submission, it's pretty nice. Good job on the quality. Usually it's worse. :)

I didn't like the drum track on some places like in the beginning with the double kick but overall he's pretty nice. Where's the guitar? You can't to metal without a guitar. XD

Well, the piano fit here and there. It was an ok touch I guess.

Overall good job for second submission, just add some guitar next time. ;)

4/5 from me.

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE_555! You voted 4 for downwards, keeping its score at 4.00.

darkskoot responds:

thx! my guitar amp is screwing up so i couldent record

[Mighty Tankmen]

Choolio!

That grooved my balls man. Very energetic and actionpacked. Did my latest tune inspired you to that galloping riffing? ;)

Only thing I have to complain here are the drums, you could have brought them a little bit more up in the mix.

Overall, cool entry man, wish ya best of luck for the contest!!

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE_555! You voted 5 for Mighty Tankmen, keeping its score at 5.00.

speedmetalmessiah responds:

Hmm your tune may have had something to do with it wouldn't suprise me if it did haha. The drums are a little low in the mix but it's about the best I could do in the time I had to do it. Thanks for the review and good luck to you aswell.

[The Fall and Rise of a He]

Oi! :)

So you did enter, not with a custom submission but with a cool one none the less. For a first try at a classical piece this is really good. I can imagen this one in a RPG like game like "secret of mana" or something like that.

I wouldn't say that it could fit well as a tankmen theme, since it's more like a funny animation but Utah has the final word as a judge. :)

It's emotionpacked and sad. Hence the title! :) As suggested I would stick with classic if I were you. Good job and good luck!

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE_555! You voted 5 for The Fall and Rise of a Hero, raising its score from 4.00 to 4.09.

LoneEagle responds:

That was my dilemma, should i enter the contest or not? I wasn't too sure as i know that this piece is not what suits best the tankmen... but i said meh what the hell i'll just submit it anyways and see what others think.

I really don't think i'm not "going to stick" with clasical music. I really like to raom free and however a song turns out then that's how it is. If it turns out being a classical song then great :) It surely is good to know that there's another door opened for me... which is classical music hehe.

Thanks alot for the vote and review man.

[Tankmen Theme-Metaljonus]

Crap!

Now thats what I call a theme dude. Very darkish and and "end of time" feeling like. What kind of fx is that what you use in the beginning? "wobble"? It's kinda the same like in "brain damage" which is pretty neat.

Not much to say else hear. Good job dude and best of luck for the contest. :-P

Oh yeah, I'm pleased now **points to review of first entry ;)**
