HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Red Peony | 2023]

Oh yeah this banger. It's in my usb mix now muahahaha. I really love that retro swirly flute sample, I need to use it more myself - got it on my Omnisphere hehe. Also, the ambience FX and and the key-vibes are thicc man. Good work :3

Bertn1991 responds:

Thanks for welcoming this tune into your USB mix. A good home, I'm sure. And yep, I'm big-time into Omnisphere. Guilty as charged.

Big, BIG thanks :3

[Phantom Africa | 2023]

Some epic vaporwave DnB here. Very intellectrual sounding. Kinda reminds me of Soul Hackers 1 actually! Friggin' hawt. IDK why this masterpiece isn't in my usb jam collection. Welp I'm fixing that now. Thanks for sharing!

Bertn1991 responds:

The jam collection? Oh my, the honer—it is high. Haven't played Soul Hackers yet, but it's on the list. Anyways, thanks for listenin'!

[Zephyr Base | 2023]

Dig that 80's vapor/synth wave rock. The chord-work is especially epic...and gotta have that sexy synth brass baby!

Bertn1991 responds:

Only the sexiest synth brass will do ^.^

[Nimi Nama | 2023]

That is definitely one epic World acoustic big beat track there. Nice work! Love that electric Dulcimer sample from Omnisphere (That is what you used right?)

Bertn1991 responds:

Oh, good ear! Love me some Omnisphere.

Thanks, as almost :^)

[A Colder Blue | 2023]

Hitting up with another comment copy/pasta from your YT cuz i be lazy lol. Wow 2023 is almost done... So Happy New Year in advance :P

"Damn, I love how 'A Colder Blue' evolves. Perfect name to a perfect track. The 1 minute mark reminds me a lot of a lot of Enix and Atlus games back in the day." -me from yesterday =p

Bertn1991 responds:

Wishing you a prosperous and productive 2024 :D

(Holy goodness, we're in the mid-2020s.)

[Camel Star Hit Record | 2023]

Holy crap, that lead synth work is killer! 'Camel Star Hit Record' is definitely going into my car mix collection hehe. Funky!

Bertn1991 responds:

I recorded each part with my keyboard for this one, having a fun time with pitch-bend wheel.

Whoa, the car mix? I'm honored. Huge thanks :o

[Carmilla | 2023]

Nice low-fi GBA-ish styled Castlevania-inspired theme thar!

Bertn1991 responds:

Definitely big-time Castlevania influence with this one. And Bach probably. I do like Bach. He should release a new album already. It's been almost 300 years. Anyways, I thank thee :-)

[Pride in Perdition | 2022]

Ooooo how did I miss this? Love the orchestral & contemporary vibes here. Especially love the percussion FX. Kinda reminds me of Axiom Verge actually. EPIC!!

Bertn1991 responds:

Ooh, haven't played that one since the early Switch days. And holy heck, the Switch is almost 7 years old now. Got-dang. Anyways, glad you found this track. Thanks as always :-)

[Director of Sunshine | 2021]

I wish you looped the mid part where the drums came in, but otherwise a very very solid track that is both emotional and inspiring.

Bertn1991 responds:

Ah, I see where you're coming from. Probably should have been stretched out a bit. All the same, thanks so much!

[Mechanoid Hive]

Love that saw-synth at the one minute mark. Great soundscape and beat too. The pads are so lush and expressive. That synthwork is killer all around. Nice work!

ClitBait responds:

Thanks so much! and glad to see you again!
