HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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

[Solar Eclipse]

It's mixed a bit quiet. Interesting Beat. I don't get the 1/5 star. Did you piss someone off? Still, the volume differences are f**king with me. Especially at 0:51. I think you have a good mold to base this off. Lotsa potential here.

Rekuiem responds:

I probably did piss somebody off, idk it was a lot of weird choices on this one.

[Rough Rider (2020)]

Very western and a bit Tribal sounding too, oddly. Sort of like Cosmo Canyon from FF7, vaguely. Love the whistle, nice work with the Portamento on it. When the choirs come in and the rest of the cadences arrive it's just beautiful. All the instruments jive well, fit in nicely and the mix is decent. Definitely a 5/5 and I ain't blowing any smoke up no one's ass.

[zami - Ideal]

Groooovy.

[KEEP FIGHTING (feat. RealMrSnuggles)]

Has a strategy game vibe to it. Lol I recognize some of the sounds and they are used fantastically. Nice work guys. The Phased feel is cool too! Dat low choir is so Metroid Prime vibe. Love it.

DIMENSIONLORD responds:

PHASED BRASS FOR THE WIN

[Bunn & Skoda - Ice Water]

Why does this stuff cheer me up so much? Bertn1991 sure is a good composer. Nice re-adaptation of his work.

[Bunn & Skoda - Squirrel Country]

This is pretty cool. Sounds kinda wild west-y. Guess that's why they call it Squirrel Country.

[Void]

Pretty kewl. I'm not a heavy metal expert, but I think this is decent. Parts like 2:23 feel a bit too maxed out headroom wise.

RaneMusic responds:

Ok, thx for the feedback :)

[Marble Garden Zone]

Nice work on the reverb delay and chip stuff.
