DjGubkafish's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Slaughtering Grounds]

Very cool guitar lead . I wish this was a little faster and more upbeat .

I think most rock songs have guitar in foreground but i feel like drums area bit distracting .

rainheart666787 responds:

Cheers for the feedback! I wanted to mirror the original theme as much as possible but a faster track might have worked better. i also agree the drums are a little loud (my mixing needs work) but thank you for the review!

[UnsteadyContemplation]

The recording quality is terrible . Sepereate sound channels if you can . This melody reminds me something from 15th century . Maybe if you add some lairs with other instruments it would pass as cinematic build up .

MikeeUSA responds:

Sorry you didn't like it. Try out some of the other songs.

[Airwolf 2014]

Never played Airwolf but it has that old arcade space shooter vibe .

Sounds more modern than console music .

So it's a remix? Well it must be good one

Dj-Rec0il responds:

Not the game, but the series that went duing the 80-90's.

[If we]

Love it . You did a very good job of cutting and sampling vocals .

Sounds pretty laid back to me .

DJMERKEREE responds:

Thanks alot dude, haha yeah the vocals went through a couple changes before i landed on this sound.

[Magmoor Caverns remix]

Were you inspired by Soul Reaver by any chance?

It reminds me ambient music inside citadel .

Although you made it too uplifting and electronic parts felt out of place for me .

I think you should try to keep it one genre

ApprenticeBlacksmith responds:

For me this was more of a test of trying to remake something by just using my ears.

Actually I was first trying to make a Soul Reaver Legacy of Kain main theme or something else from it :)
Were just lil bit too complicated.

I am actually making atm more cinematic and much less messy versio out of this.

Thank you for your review!

[Acuity]

I think you should progress music faster . 50 seconds with same pattern is too long .

Piano was too much in background and didn't harmonize well . Perhaps lounder electric analog would be better .

Overall it needs more variations .

DJ-Infinity responds:

All fair observations, particularly about the piano which I didn't want to have punch through too much of; nor become lost in; everything else, so I tried for a middle ground.

Faster progression, I somewhat agree: I recall being advised that one should get to the good bit within 30 to 60 seconds, but perhaps sooner rather than later is the better option?

As for more variations, I would say that I wanted to keep things fairly simple and consistent, although maybe I took the risk of being closer to the boundary of boring this time.

Whether or not the aspects you mentioned are a matter of taste, it's good to read what someone else thinks, as it keeps me on my toes a bit. Thank you :)
