HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[HexCeed - Weightless]

Strings are a bit stilted on the velocity/start, but the rest is super kocher. The pad adds a lot to this. I'm bad at pure orchestral myself, so I really can't cast stones, but I felt I should point string-thing out, in case you are in a position to fix them. If not, I'll overlook it next time.

Natcl23 responds:

No, I know what you mean, I often have problem with that, but I'll see what I can do, anyway, thanks for your comment!

[Paranormal World]

That is one eerie swing-type dirge lol. I like it!

[Mechadata]

I think its the reverb amount. Reduce it all on every track by a fair bit. Then ease it up a tad, once everything sounds less pushed back. Boost the percussion by a fair bit and bingo! You can do this! 1:20 I think a half-tempo snare hit would do a lot to keep the intensity going, even on the slower breakdown. Same deal with 2:00 area I guess. Maybe some sort of rhythmic sequence to aid the slower parts feel more intense. That, or very Low piano and string notes. Pardon the edits :D

RealBlargMaster responds:

I can't edit this anymore. I'm not able to save my projects in FL

[New inspiration?]

Love the almost swing-like vibe to the structure. Would love to hear the full version.

[MEGALOVANIA (Beepbox Remix) ((again))]

Pretty decent, the bass is much louder than the rest of the mix. I think I get the intent here, but the other instruments might want to be brought up a bit I think. Also noticed at 5:03 that the guitar sample was much cleaner sounding without the bass, so I think the bass is also hogging a low-mid frequency as well. Other than that, this is pretty cool.

RealBlargMaster responds:

If you think that something is off or doesn't sound quite right, feel completely free to click on the big ol' link in the description and mix/master/EQ the song how you see fit. It's fun

[Attack!]

Parts I liked. 0:36 to 1:19

0:00 - 0:35 is rough, but in the context of 0:58, it makes sense. So I'm torn here. Maybe a simple alteration of the beat and the bass would help? Run another pass by me with an edit, if you feel like it. Oh, also maybe lower the snare type samples by 0.2** dB or so.

[lost in space listening to 2000s pop rock]

This feels live-played (recorded obviously). It's hard to get this kind of melodic vibe with just a mouse haha. Great progression and it says what has to be said and GTFO. I love short and sweet tunes :D....

WUT!! DAMNIT. 0/5 now. JK

Troisnyx responds:

I did get that melodic vibe with a mouse prior to March of this year out of sheer necessity. 😁

I'm glad you enjoyed it. Thank you~

[lost in the jungle]

Love the jazzy vibe going on here. Or is it Swing? Lots of love went into this, I can tell.

[Hyperjump]

Pretty dang cool. Nice and bouncy. The breakdown at 1:40 is nice. 2:41, that count-down thing is a bit too jank for me. The count-down is a bit jank and it plods along a bit. Maybe my ADD is to blame. 4 is the best I can give. Sorry!

[The Night, Alive]

Glad I grabbed this album. The Night, Alive is another great tune. Love the Oriental vibe sprinkled throughout. Nice breakdown at 2:24. Then a kick ass guitar solo follows. Man this one evolves a ton; so nice Prog Rock vibes going on. I like the transitions too!

ConnorGrail responds:

Glad people are liking the flow of this one! Making all these sections work together was a lot of fun.
