whatusernamedood's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Space Sonata]

Thank you very much! This was really nice! I'm such a sucker for sexy basses.
My humble opinion on what you did wrong is the *flow*. You hyped me up in the beginning and that set the "bar" for everything else that comes after it. And "after" did not meet the "hype" you created in the beginning. Stimulate my eardrums, baby.
But, dood, this was awesome.

zktaichou responds:

Thanks for the review! What went on in my head was that the starting part is the departure from the earth which is quite a grounded experience, hence the bass boom booms haha. And then my mind just wandered into the emptiness of space =)

I'm glad to see a different perspective!

[No Exctraction]

the Slayer hype is real lol this was awesome.
Stereo image is just so unreal, I envy you, it's playing inside my head, like wow.

DESHIEL responds:

Slayer is only good as its master. ;D

[I've No Idea What I'm Doin']

Delicious sundae! With G-cherry on top! We like happycore!
No useful comments on mastering because I'm not that good yet. But that bass was tasty af.

Noisysundae responds:

Thanks very much. Good to know the bass is not too overwhelming.

[Mega Man 1 - Bedtime Stories w/Sensei Pong]

Beautiful story, too bad it's daytime in here :(

FlyingSheep responds:

Thank you; the original idea for doing these came from not being able to find good bedtime stories that are video game related for my kids. Luckily, they enjoy them, which is good.

Children are my target audience, but hopefully I can write and create videos that all ages can enjoy. This one was fun, though. Surprisingly, they take a bit of thought and time to write.

Again, thank you for following. More should be on the way--the one I'm working one is definitely one of my favorites. It should be up at some point within the next two weeks. Spoiler: it's a Minecraft story.

[The Infinite Cosmos]

Nice idea! Cute riffs! Decent vocals! The outro made me bang my head, so that's awesome.
Drums feel a little unreal though. Like you're not a drummer IRL, that kinda "unreal". But that's just me.
Who cares, this was awesome.

MetalRenard responds:

About the drums: Well... The drums are all midi grooves by a real drummer. I'm always very careful to program drums and other instruments realistically, only 2 hands and 2 feet ever used (and rarely all at once). The main drum riff is a midi groove I messed around with from Studio Drummer's grooves, the entire midi for the drum kit is also humanised (so it's not perfect, on purpose), and the timing is altered so the hits fall a few milliseconds before the beat as this gives a sense of realism and more of an edge to the song. I also know how to play drums IRL... BUT! Nothing will ever replace a real drummer, it's true. Same as with any instrument, can't replace the real thing. :)

Thanks for the comment! I'm glad you liked the song, it's been too long since I've made something new! :)

[Pug Run]

Need a light? Wanna turn up the heat? ;)

Your style is just awesome and unique. So this is definitely a treat for my ears. You doing drugs while doing this?

Keep up the interesting work.

[N.H]

Now record a bassline on your (slightly less distorted) guitar, drop it by one octave; have fun with EZ/Superior drummer - and ta-daaaaaah! You won the internet!
Nicely recorded.

Loyir responds:

Thanks buddy. I will check out the programs. :D

[Domyeah - Burning Red Giant]

Honestly, delete the intro, at least the first 20 seconds. That chord progression, all alone, almost chased me away.
You said drum and BASS, but there is no bass. My ears desperately want some bass to make love to this sick kick you made, right now. It really lacks the low end.
The keys are a little dry for my taste, reverb or delay, pick your poison, see/hear what you think.
The WAH-WAH-WAH (1:30-2:00), is throwing out some audio junk when the phase goes down (point a gun to my head, I can't remember the name of the effect).

All this above? Nitpicking. Talking "technical". Utter nonsense. You've got "something". You tried very hard not to kill me with boredom. Non-repetitive stuff is really, really rare. Good job. Keep on doing what you do (and improving too).

Domyeah responds:

You know what? You're totally right with the whole "low end" thing. I'll work on that in the future. Thanks!
