Deathkavaderva's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[abandoned system]

Now I feel fkd up....

Dude that's some scary shit! I think it interrupted my heart rate for a second. Felt weird around my chest. I can see it in some noir style film, it has that disturbing kind of feel to it. Just suggest some more reverb on that siren and a quieter first 5 seconds, they were just a bit too loud. After listening to this I don't feel quite right...
You like dark shit, check out my Industrial Science song.

[The Cemetery Of Spirits]

good

But the bassdrum didn't work very goodly. It wasn't a big enough sound and only did quarter beats instead of making more of a pattern. Needed lower, wetter reverb and especially needed dynamics eg slowly fade in at the start instead of just DOOM stratight off. Bit overused but apart from that some great emotional music here with a good theme.

[monsterpiece]

nice concept

But I think you should work more on the tone of your audio. The instruments had good melodies but (forgive me if you meant them to sound this way) they were way too dry for this type of piece. They stuck out too far. I would suggest putting more reverb on them for a more atmospheric quality-- also on the drums.
That lead synth at about 40 was too loud as well, just a bit. To make your sound beautiful I would suggest putting a lot of detail into effects so instead of just playing the notes the instruments emerge gracefully etc because that adds more emotional power to your music.
Don't worry about my score-- I think it's good, just not great. Yet.

[Eatable Panties (extra chewy)]

you know

Call me crazy but if I wanted to kill my equipment i would have used a hammer.
Eatable panties... that would be awesome! You could spray em on and then lickem off and voila!(not in urself)
The beauty of experimental is someone says "that's shit" and then you say "thats how it's meant to sound!" Because there are no flaws I can hear and i'm seeing panties I 10 you.

Auecs responds:

this is pretty much the best review i have ever gotten! Thanks so much!

Keep it real!

[Bancheist]

not bad!

Sort of calming and uneasy at once. These bank robbers are bad and they know what they're doing, theyve done it a hundred times before. I think this is quite good but you've slipped under the radar bad ( i love listening to stuff with the lowest score of its category). I vote this 5 so more will hear it.

[Drops of Life]

ableton is better than fl!

A very relaxing piece of music that goes well in the background to add atmosphere to the situation. What synths/plugins do you use? Are they free?

Gillenium responds:

I do agree that Ableton is better than FL. However, I made this song before I ever knew about Ableton Live :P I couldn't tell you what plugins I used for this song, because all of my song files from this era are gone. I lost them in a hard drive crash. So, I can't remix them or change them apart from redoing everything. But, thanks for the review!

[So full of an empty gallery]

fuk

It IS kinda creepy, despite it not sounding very creepy or not sound like it is supposed to be. Sounds almost happy or comical. Maybe that is why it is creepy. I'm thinking of and abandoned playground or carousel with happy clown faces painted everywhere but the place is all run down, dark and decrepid...hm! Interesting...

Pandoryk responds:

I'm not a big fan of this song I've done :P The next I'm preparing will be better!
But I found something really interesting in it and it's pleasant to read what you wrote! ^^
Thx for the review!! =D

[Rig - Epic Orchestra: Enhanced]

beauty

This is very nice!... Percussion was unexpected but very good and you know I would have benn quite happy for it to continue the whole way simiarly to how it was for the 1st 29 seconds ( it would relax me to sleep). I don't think it needed strings or somehow I don't think the to styles fit together seamlessly but this is still nearly a masterpiece (for want of a better word). And I have to disagree with you in one point, I think the name dosen't say the half of it (the music is much more than just an "epic orchestra").
I think the cellos could definately sound better in some parts though. Apart from small flaws throughout the piece 2:30 onward is gold, just a bit too loud.
Love the emotion.

Rig responds:

This was one of the first songs I ever made, actually. I chose the name 'cause I was tired - I finished it at 4 AM. :P
Thanks for the suggestions!

[Descending Upward]
