Sonofkirk's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[_-={Dying Heroes in the Sea]

Great

Really well composed, as always. You have a very specific sound and since the first second of this song, I knew it was you :P

I must say the begining was a bit abrupt, a slow intro wouldn't be a bad idea, I think. Though, the rest is pure bad ass, the "creaking" at 0:05 and later in the song were great, it gave the song a pretty tasty dark ambiance. Then, when the vocals came in at 0:28, it surprised me, I think you should turn down the volume of the vocals. Then it gets better. And the ending was epic as always, the bells were a great addition, this is the little thing that make the song awesome :P.

Hum, a great piece here. A bit short in my opinion but it loops so it's alright. Nothing else to complain about, just thanks for submitting good pieces.

MaestroRage responds:

I agree with you, under normal conditions I would agree a slow opening would be good. However we are looking at an intense scenerio that doesn't relax until it's over, so the song must loop, and it must be intense from step one.

The tenor voice, though I agree, is loud, it wasn't that much louder in the mix for me... I hope this is not going to be a problem, I should have sent the song around and seen if it performed well on other systems. Thanks for the heads up.

You're more then welcome sonofkirk! Thank you for the review, i'm glad you enjoyed it!

[Metal Buurthday, bitches]

Haha awesome

Lol, "Happy Birthday" Metalized ... never saw this before. Greatly done, the drums sounded a bit progressive so I like it :P. Good guitar job also. Though, it's pretty short, lol. Seriously the end was awesome and I want more, so can you please make a fucking extended version ? You better do this, or ... I come in Canada and will regret it haha.

Keep up the great work my big dude 5'd \m/

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Haha, thats all it takes to get people to come to Canada? Just be lazy and not finish anything? haha.
Thanks for the review, son. Seriously, come to Canada.

Ambiant

It was more anbiant than trancy as the guys said, the slow tempo and the pads give the song an obvious Ambiant feeling. About the song itself, it was too simple: the chord progression was the easier you can write and the rhythm was the same during all the song. Those two things made the song a bit boring, though I can imagine that Ambiant songs sound like that.

So, please, put more diversity in your song and it will get better. But one thing, the background sounds vere quite cool, the water and the storm were a nice addition.

Nice : )

Lol yeah the begining was kinda harsh, surprised me a bit :P. Though I enjoyed the overall quality of the song, almost professional. The instruments you used were good and you did a good job with the delay at the begining, it was well in tempo. The drums weren't bad but it could have been a bit more diversified, I think it's the major problem in this song. Though, it looped very well for me, well done.

A pretty good track, overall. It could have been more difersified, so if you make an extented version make sure to add some samples and patterns : ).

[RES - I Don't Care]

Humm

First thing I noticed, the beat was too repetitive in my opinion it lacked of originality. I got bored very quickly. Also the chord progression was way too simple and it accentuated the boring side of the song. Like Deflektor said, the drum kick saturates sometimes, you could fix it easily decreasing the gain of the kick. Otherwise, the instruments you chose aren't bad but it could be better so yeah keep trying and you will get better : ).

Swerve responds:

The beat is not the most interesting I've made, I know.. But this many comments about it?:P The chord progression was pretty simple yeah.. Cm G Am F If I'm correct.. So yeah, that was not very groundbreaking or anything haha.
I have improved, this track was submitted about a month ago, so that's long enough to improve.
Thanks for the review!

Great

The begining had a great ambiance; the pads, the piano and the birds gave the intro a very relaxing feeling. Then when the synth and the drums came in, it was quite groovy I must say :D. The reverb on the snare was very 80-ish lol, I liked it. Then, I enjoyed the arpeggios near the endding, again very nice ambiance.

You really catched the right feeling with this song, I can easily see the coulds and me flying into them :D. A great entry for the Mac8. I can't really give you any advice, just keep it up !

Epic

Awesome choice of intruments, the begining was epic as fuck. I don't know what was instrument that moved between the speakers but its was great, good panning job. The other synths sounded very cool also. Though the only problem was the drums. I would rather hear a more solid beat to make the song stronger if you see what I mean ; ). Anyway the chord progression was good, not to simple and not to complicated and overall very effective. Epicness is the word that could describe the song the best. 5'd.

Nice

Good job, dude. I don't listen to Video Game audio very often but I liked this one, I enjoyed the quality.

Good choice of intruments. You did a nice use of FL Studio, I'm getting tired of all these guys that don't know how to use it and that post on here. Finally a good production : ). Yeah I enjoyed the instruments, the beat was nice.

Good job with the melodies, it was pretty simple but effective and very catchy. I enjoyed the chromatism from 0:31 to 0:33, it gave the song an epic feeling, nice addition. Though the overall sound quality was a little "cloudy", maybe it was expected : ).

POP

Loved the vocoder, I gave the song a really nice feeling, you really can play all the style of music, I hate you so much lol. Gread distortion guitar tone, neat. And the snare sounded so great, this program has a fantastic power, I have to download it.
Your voice is great also, well done. Keep it up : ). 5.

Dimoria responds:

I actually made it with extremly much autotuning just to show a friend how fucking annoying it is :p You can also play all sorts of music. All music styles are connected. I still have lots of trouble with already written jazz. If you know how I mean. Cheers.

[Saknad Av Skogen]

Short, fuck you

Why the fuck did you submitted this ? I hated it because it was a preview. And I hate previews because it make me looking forward for the finished product and the finished piece never comes ... Sucks.

Lol no it's was good as fuck. EWQL rocks hard. You have a fantastic taste with the melody. All these Swedish are fuckin' virtuosos, I hate you lol. Keep it up and make it longer please. 5'd.

Dimoria responds:

Haha it is no preview :) it's a full song I made for a part in my brothers game.
Hah no we fucking aren't :p I'm no better then anyone else :)
The song had to be this lenght because the part in my bros game was just a said scene showing how the main characters home and family was burned.
So it was kind of short. And I made the song fit the scene.
Cheers ;)
