DarKsidE555's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[For Whom the Bell Tolls cover]

Perfect!

Damn, I thought I was listening to Metallica right there! Fucking awesome cover there man! Very, very much boob on! Soundquality is superb on this! No complains about anything at all. Great job! :D

5/5!!

speedmetalmessiah responds:

Damn straight! Thanks for the review bro.

[Total Payback]

Totally! >:(

Too bad it's so short. Wished you made a full tune out of it. : /

Ah well. Anyways, nice playing man! I totally disagree with the guy below me. A loop is not often very diverse. It's a loop, not more and not less.

Sound could be a bit better cause it fuzzes here and there but overall very nice and good to see you submitting something again. ;)

5/5

Chrizzly responds:

Yo, thanks Darkside!
Yeah, well it's a great riff so if I get the inspiration and riffs that match it, I could make a full one out of it!
Big thanks to your review!

[Rig - Urban Rain]

Uhm...

I'm a bit loss for words here...hm...how to start this the best? This is by far one of the most ORIGINAL things I heard on NG. It's tripping...the sound manipulation on this was just astounding. You sure that thunder was just a paper bag? :P

A worthy 5 here indeed.

Rig responds:

Thanks, man! The thunder is indeed a paper bag, and one of those things I discovered by accident. I actually wanted the paper bag sound to be rain, so I ran it through a multiband compressor and played with the levels. I accidentally boosted the lows all the way up, and was surprised to hear that it sounded like thunder! :)

Thanks again for your support!

[Rucklo - Chiptune Jingle Bells]

I vote teh 0! >:(

Just for fun! lolz. Naa, just kidding, you know the score. Very nice work so far you damn bastard! Good stuff!

Still hate you though! >:(

Rucklo responds:

that's ok, I still hate you too lOOLOLLOLOLOLOL

thanx for the hatred, bitch ;)

[-=LJC=- 8-bitty Ditty]

OMG LJ! :D

This is soo fucking addictive. I really don't know what to say. This is 8-bit goodness. on it's very best and original too! This would perfectly fit in a game as menu music or credits or overall song. It fits everywhere!

Damn addictive to say it yet again. One of my new fav. tracks for awhile! Which means a couple of fives for you! ;D

Keep em coming my good man!

LJCoffee responds:

Thanks man - I'm glad you liked this one. I had fun making it and now I find myself playing more and moar with this style - I'll probably be adding a few others sometime soon.

[Be there(to davey)]

tooooo quite! >:(

The playing and everything was cool and solid! The only MAJOR let-down is that this song is waaay to quite in it's master volume output! >:(

None the less, good song there man! 5/5!

Any lyrics to provide perhaps? :P

696-dregon-696 responds:

yeah man i know i was and still geting used to mixing stuff by my self

lyrics.

liveing life it seems easy until its the end
i didnt think youd leave me after all the time we spent
will i find peace of mind in this lonely world
watching the grass grow and the clouds slip away i feel cold so cold

cant go on living this life
i did every thing i could to be there
now that your gone its hard to feel
wishing that pain wasnt real

all the things that weve seen all that weve done
all the lonely nights we were on the run
asking god does no good i only here your words
time after time i scream why did you leave me

[Solus- 8-Bit Bells]

lamo, noic! :D

Hey, hey. Nice on there man. Sounds well composed and very 8-bit like. Liked it! So here's ma 5 and you can suck ma e-pen0r as well. ;)

Good luck in the contest!

SolusLunes responds:

MMM. EPENOR.

Does it come in sandwich form as well? :D

[Everlasting Soul]

damn! :/

Phew...much things to work on. First off, what was that strange clipping in the song...was that meant to be drumming!? Oo

IF so then...woah...damn man, not good at all. Didn't fit, not a bit. If you want an easy to use and cheap drumprogram for the start, get a hold of beatcraft. You can find a trail version of the prog. here:

www.acoustica.com/beatcraft/

The guitar sounded more like it was a big...very big improvisation the hole time through. The tune lacks of any structure. Though, I have to say that the playing itself was solid and there is a base you can work on.

Piano didn't fit at all. The notes were often different to the guitar playing. Not a real benefit for the track. Btw...what did you do 2:30? Wham, your sound just changed into something bit "better" there.

Overall I say...phew...much to work on. I hope I wasn't to offensive with my review and I hope you'll take some things as an advice for your future stuff.

2/5!

DJ-Ultimize responds:

Nah, the thing wasn't offensive. I know it needs working on. I'll make it better!
The thing at 2:30 was a change in dynamics. I haven't mastered the dynamics changer on Cool Edit, if i left it the same, it would have sounded much much worse. I'll try to work on geting the shit before that point to sound the same.
As for the drums... that's just a shitty electronic drum pad I have.
And the Piano, I'll work on chaning the melody of it to match the guitar.

Thanks for the help!

[.:The Concept Of God:.]

Evil! >:)

Impressive. Not only the structur but the fact that you managed to get those fucking synth guitars sound "good". I have to admit, I wasn't aware of the synth guitarness first, in the first few seconds I thought they where for real. XD

Anyways, great job on that! Though, I have to say, the overall soundquality wasn't that good. There are a lot of points in the song where the freq. just clash into each other and create fuzz. It could also be the higher master volume output because this track clips and cracks A LOT. Also, I didn't like the drums very much later on in the song, where the machine gun kick sets in. They get too "technoish" and remove themselfs from sounding like "realistic" drums.

Overall, this was a very fine composed and executed song, thats why I give my 5 for this, though I hope you'll also keep the mentioned things in mind.

Crueldeity responds:

I will dude, Thats one thing i've really yet to wrap my head around is mixing the final track, i'm gonna get a new sound card and eventually a new speaker set up, and find a better way to reduce clipping and what not, but thanks for the constructive review!

[AmbientPuzzle]

Metroidish! ;)

For a first it's very good, though it's more or less the melody of metroid. No need to worry about that, because the song is unique in it's appearance. Soundquality is good on this one as well but a little bit bulky in some places, like the ambient kick for example. As said before, not bad for a first try.

Well done! Have fun in the AP! :)

5/5

EpicMastermind responds:

YAY I have a 5/5 for my first song ever!!! YEEESSSS!! :)
thankyou for your review! The melody is not the same from Metroid, the instruments are very similar though. Also, I'm having problems with the buffer; FL Studio exports the mp3 with the low quality buffer.
