DarKsidE555's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fall Into The Blazing Cold]

Not bad!

Liked the beginning. Though, the tune is roughly mixed. Most important thing, watch your master output level. It should be around -1 or -2 db to keep the track decent. It clips a lot, mostly because of the base drum. I don't know if that was in your intent but to me it just sounds wrong. The bass is barely hearable, guitars are also way too loud compared to the rest.

The track has a good structure though, nice to listen too but it needs some more work to count it as a winner. Not the playing, the problem is the mastering. Practice that more and I'm sure you can hit shit in the future. ;)

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 4 for Blazing Cold (bass reduced), lowering its score from 4.57 to 4.50.

BazookaZombie responds:

if you read some of my other esponses, the problem isn't my mixing, thats why i had to submit a second version in the first place. the mix sounds just fine in the program i recorded in, but when i export it it all goes to hell. i need to learn how to mix to compensate for whatver that export does to it. hopefully i'll get it down by the next submission. but thanks for the review anyway. always nice to know people are actually listening to this stuff,

[Mixed Emotions (with solo)]

WTF!?

LoL...funny thing. I just tried out the NGAP player and it brought me right to this track. Did I ever heard this one!? Hell no, wtf!?

Anyways, it was fucking nice. The strumming in the beginning, cool solo with the organ. Nice shit man. It still is funny that it's nearly 2 years old now. XD

Good job! lol

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for Mixed Emotions (with solo), raising its score from 3.60 to 3.69.

Hahaha, damn man I wasn't expecting to get any more reviews for this one. Lucky for me that it brought you here I guess. The music I played over was all thanks to Zenon/Blacknoize or whatever the hell he's calling himself these days. Anyway man thanks for the review.

Wow...this track is pretty old.

[Metal quebec - Tetons pointus]

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for Metal quebec - Tetons pointus, keeping its score at 0.0000000000000000000000. lol

QuebecGrinder responds:

haha ,thx bro! I hope you liked the voices this time , even if they're in french!

[Mercy Isnt An Option]

Melodic!

Indeed. Cool opening, my newest tune will be one melodical fucker as well. Riffs and leads were played very well. Drums could be a bit more present in the mix, also some other samples would be nice or some more reverb on the kick for example to give it a bit more wetness. They are a bit to dry on my ears. Anyways, just a suggestion.

Overall it was very kick ass to listen to! Keep it up dude.

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for Mercy Isnt An Option, keeping its score at 5.00.

Xerxes-Sangco responds:

Hehe yea I don't have many samples for my drums so I just reuse the same ones over and over again which I don't really mess around with much. Can't wait to hear yours as well hehe. Thanks for the review, feedback, and 5 DarKsidE555! I appreciate alot! =D

[SR - Psychedelica]

LoL Korn!

You know...this reminds me way too much of korn's porno creep. The bassline, the guitar, even the drums. Sure it's not quite the same but very similiar on some parts. Still, nicely played and well put together but...where the hell are the sound samples? :/

Good entry none the less!

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 4 for SR - Psychedelica, lowering its score from 5.00 to 4.67.

SineRider responds:

ah fuck, I knew I forgot something =(

Well I can't say I have ever heard that song before, maybe I'll check it out and compare the differences

thanks for the vote XD

[Rucklo - is Khuskan´s mother]

Mothertucker! >: (

What in the name of fuck were you thinking? I am very disappointed. Well shit, that was pretty nice actually. A bit to much high-ends though in my opinion but other than that I can imagen some stoned pinguins dancing like hell in your appartment.

This should have been on #2 along with the LoLgang. Though the LoLgang kicks more ass. XP

I also hate you. <3

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for Rucklo - is Khuskan´s mother, raising its score from 3.55 to 3.67.

Rucklo responds:

I HATE YOU TOO!

[*Gods Granted Wish*In Progress]

hmm...

Synth guitars ey? Well, there is a melody I guess. It's none the less not working very well. The strings clip at certain parts. They also lack of a harmony with the guitar synth. Try not to overdo things, less is often more. If you want some tips or tutorials to help you, for example check the audio sticky in the bbs audio.

I guess the song has potential BUT it needs a lot of more work before it's sounds good.

Just keep it up and practice you will get better in time!

ReapeRs-LeGenD responds:

i had no intention of it being "Good" or "Bad" just a clip, ehm im trying to get better, slowly. yeah, i would use my guitar but my amp is currently in my storage. but yeah, ill keep you in mind when it comes to recording. ;)

[Zelda (Echoz remix)]

Nice!

What more to say? Interesting and cool remake of a classic tune. Good job on it. :)

Note: Review get. :P

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for Zelda (Echoz remix), raising its score from 3.95 to 4.00.

EchozAurora responds:

Thanks man, always appreciated.
I'll make sure to hit ya back sometime.

[Heavy Shit!]

Rock on! \m/

Heavy riff indeed. I wonder why no one has made a comment on it yet. It's pretty good stuff. The mix is also tight. Maybe the drums need to be a bit eq'd more but other than that I can't rly find anything wrong with this.

Good beat, nice leads. \m/

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for Heavy Shit!, raising its score from 4.25 to 4.40.

Quickbeam responds:

Yeah, long time since I uploaded this song. I can't believe that you were the first to leave a review and it was about 2 months after I uploaded it. Un-fucking believeable. Anyway, thanks for the review man.

*Waits patiently for Bad-Man to review the song*

[dj_padman - Klung]

Trippy!

Yeah, thats what I'm thinking about...not rly the kind of ambient stuff I listen to...when I listen to ambient but it still goes into the direction.

There were some really tricky passages in there (the stuttered parts for example). I can't find anything to bug or to critic about on most of your stuff. It's made professional and thats just it.

Kudos!

Thanks for your vote, DarKsidE555! You voted 5 for dj_padman - Klung, raising its score from 4.25 to 4.33.

dj-padman1 responds:

I put this in ambient? oops, my mistake. This puppy is probably a misc, but I think I'd survive putting it in Industrial. miscellaneous is a bit crowded its depressing...;P

Ooh, yeah, when I see an opportunity to put some 64th notes someplace, I leap on it!

Thanks for the review dude.
