HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Children Of The Sun]

Man, that sounds like a Silent Hill 3 or Dark Souls title lmao. Incidentally, I really hear an Akira Yamaoka vibe here. Love this!!

Mel responds:

thank you! ive never played those games or heard of akira yamaoka haha but i appreciate you!

[Summers Grave]

T_T RIP Summer. Love that uncanny vibe.

Mel responds:

thanks man and yeh. that shit gone

[EDEXY & Dimentros - Wayfarer]

Damn your music is always so damn solid. My play-list is full of your stuff, I discovered. Lmao.

edexy responds:

Whoa! I am very happy about this, thank you for appreciating my music <3

[Alpha Stat1on (Orchestral Ver.)]

Mix is solid. The instruments could use more dynamics (especially on the fade-out)?? I'm kinda shit at programming orchestral stuff too, so no sweat really. This'd be great in a retro game or NG movie, methinks.

[Rue [Original Mix]]

After all the ear-rape 400dB tracks, a quieter one is very welcome. That said, a 1.4 dB boost on the Main should be just perfect. I like the instrument choices. The bass might be hogging the 250 hz area a bit too much though.

[An Autumn Afternoon]

Pretty good. The crash is clipping, bit too loud. In fact, all of the tracks could use a -1dB fix and the ceiling should be fine. The Cymbol is the worst offender though. Composition is pretty cool. Reminds me of Undertale a bit...oddly enough.

Lucasberry responds:

i'll try to fix the crashes soon. completely forgot it lol.

[Synthwave_Feels]

So classic Synthwave, I'd assume would use 808 samples or reverby rock drums.
Also, does classic Synthwave use side-chaining (and Cutoff Frequencies on the Master)? I thought it was more brick-wall-of-sound hahaha. It's so well produced. EDIT) The pads seem legit. Bass could be a bit more squelch-y sounding imo. With some bowm bowm sounds.

baryiscool responds:

Thanks for that !!
i used the wrong base now i think about it
i used my Sub base instead of my mono base ..
but 808 samples mmmm.. i have those

[The EarthBound treatment]

Good ole nostalgia. Nice work with the sf2's mate. Nice groove too.
