HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Full Auto - Semi Auto]

Some clicky artifacts here and there. Other than that, this is pretty cool. Love the swishing riser FX and the guitar is fire.

[One Bad Dude]

Some peeps don't appreciate the old-school muddy mix in their retro rock. And I gotta say it works extremely well here. Man this is some blast in the past epic rock.

[Identity Crisis]

Grooooovy. With some Metroid Prime vibes. Win! And an Ozzie Osborne feel.

Sykozealot responds:

Never played Metroid Prime come to think of it

[Ruse]

Always love some genre mixes in my metal. Tricked me too lmao. 'Ruse' would be awesome with lyrics too. Also, that snare choice is killer. Nice kick too.

[The Dreamer (Old Demo)]

Man that harmony and slow tempo rock is such awesome retro metal. Nice work man.

[Genfunk - Stage 1]

Hehe I'm getting some Darkwing Duck (NES) vibes here. This is awesome.

Sykozealot responds:

funny you say that, I actually did a lets play of the "Darkwing Duck (NES)" game a long time ago

[Genfunk - Stage 2 (Train Station)]

Well this is interesting, for what you got going so far. The arpreggio work is especially cool.

[Genfunk - Stage 3]

Hearing some clipping artifacts at 1:24 to 2:00 ; 3:04. Seem to happen on a snare sample or something. Other than that I like the progression and mood swings that fit the description nicely. Very cool 2-phase boss theme.

Sykozealot responds:

I went back and fixed the Artifacts you were talking about...it was that sneaky snare, when I went into half time and extended the sound for some reason at the end of the snare sound it has a cutting noise

[Genfunk - Stage 4]

This for an original game or just for shits n giggles? This is real tight, especially the 1:01 mark. This is mixed a tad too loud I think. Maybe a 0.2 dB reduction will help on master mix. Or at least on the drums and bass.

Sykozealot responds:

Just for fun,and to practice using Gennybeta and YM2612 VSTs

I have reduced the db for the Kick Drum and Snare and slightly on both basses...yes there are two different basses playing at the same time lol
