HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Harvest of the Apples | 2021]

Love the detache string accompaniment. Piano is very convincing, is it live played?

Bertn1991 responds:

It's with a keyboard of course, but yes, it is me playing. I'm happy I finally got a sustain pedal. Thanks for listing <3

[The Patron Saint of Lost Things | 2021]

Hollup, is this from Cowboy Bebop? I'm in the Raaain...the Raiiin.....actually the melody is a bit different. But I got those vibes big time. That organ sample has a surprising amount of depth, what'd you use for it?

Bertn1991 responds:

If it sounds like a track from Cowboy Bebop, it wasn't intended ^.^'

The pipe organ is "Organ KH Floeten 1" from Kontakt Factory Library. It's like $7000, so...

♫ a pirate's life for me ♫

[Apricot Rag | 2021]

Pretty grood Bimmy Bert.

[the new world]

Bootiful. I like that the lyrics are dissonant a bit at parts, which creates a melancholic dream feeling. Pretty decent work overall :3...dat Flex and VSCO...so robust for free stuff hehe.

[Barefoot in the Park]

Great work! Man, I love how it's soothing with just a whiff of the melancholic.

[Fly Me To The Moon (feat. MisterJames)]

Is this the OG credits theme?? Either way, this is great. Love the Somba, Jazz elements. Nice production. Nice work! EDIT] Also, live-played brass is always epic :3

TeraVex responds:

Ayy! It is an arrangement of the OG credits theme! Wanted to give it my own lil spin on it! Glad you enjoyed the listen! I gotta use this trumpet more in some tunes

[Good Riddance (Hades Cover) with friends]

Welp...this is a good way to get hyped for this game. Nice work fellas!!
I should really grab Hades...damn. But my backlog of games is burning a hole in my pocket rofl.

Especially a fan of the gothic elements, that bitter yet beautiful pad and the vocals, ofc.

[Scrap Metal Jungle]

I think it's fine dry, especially if you're going for a retro vibe. The bass could do to be mixed a bit better. But eh, otherwise, it's a cool tune.

[The Robot Becomes Aware]

This is some cool experimental stuff haha. The bass drum is OK in the context of experimental methinks...but as pitbulljones said, it does lack some of the low range punch you'd expect. Up to you really.

[stumped]

Hm...Good basis to build off of. Might want to make the beat a bit more ambient if this is all you want to do with it. Like half time beat maybe?? Just throwing that idea out there.
