HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[AddBad - Storm]

Cool bass down-pitches. Though this is mixed quietly, isn't it? Still, lots of cool touches here. Liking the vocoloids and gating.

[Scavenger]

Haha i'm honored that one of my originals was remixed. It's a very liberal approach, so there's a lot of new stuff to be gleamed from this. And this is hella creative and spooky. I also have another version that has some melodic ideas at the 3/4 part. I intend to do more with that version someday. "Scavenger" reminds me that I need to focus on my originals more.

[Midnight Symphony]

Metal dubstep? Well this is killer. Great soundscape and FX too.

[A.P.Earth | Legacy 2019 | Vampire Mansion]

Man, with an updated sound library, this would sound killer. But the present samples are holding it back imo. Except the choral and the bell sounds.

Still, for a budget library, this isn't terrible and 'Vampire Mansion' is definite Hellion dirge material.

[Demystify Feast [Touhou] {TGP Remix}]

More sombre & reflective than spooky. But it does have some mystery feels to it. Hey, this reminds me of Parasite Eve. Kinda has a wintry feel at 3:09. A very interesting branch-off.

TheGoldenProof responds:

Yeah, I agree that it isn't really "spooky" but it is more spooky than any of my other stuff. I usually make music on the weekends, and my brain gets a little fried on weekdays, so I didn't really have the will power to go out of my usual style. Originally it wasn't even going to be a creepy piece, and I was just messing around to prepare to make this this weekend, but after experimenting with an arpeggiator and getting the dark base, I liked it and kept it and decided to get it out by Halloween. But yeah, because of time, it didn't really turn out like I wanted.

[We Are All Doomed]

I got a sense we're heading somewhere bad too. Bilderberg Doom.
Finally, a dubstep-ish tune that isn't overcompressed and blowing up the speakers. *cough* I've never done that myself. Nope.

Great Choral pads too. And dat bwooom bass. And that weird detuned reverse-sound is a nice touch, kinda sounds like a screeching vampire.

larrynachos responds:

I kept the reigns firm on this one. Not that I know what I'm doing when it comes to dubstep or anything lol. That choral pad is the only serum patch I didn't make myself in this song, but it was too good to replace.

Thanks for the review!

[The Forest Breathes]

That's what I'm here for. Sifting through as many Howlowe'en themed things I can this evening...
0:28 is where things get coool. Nice FX.

Feels a bit like a theme from Blood (the FPS).

shadow-ghost responds:

Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed and that I could contribute to the Halloween atmosphere. >=)

[Ethereal Absolution]

Love the minimalistic approach to the drums. I love atmospheric pieces like this!

[Byepolar]

Oh, HiPolar!
Now, this reminds me of some Enix games from SNES. 0:48 wow we went into uncanny pitch valley. Spoopy. Silence. Ruh roh. We're going to the other pole!

If the main character in a 16-bit game had an abusive bipolar ex, I imagine this would be her theme. Lmao.

RealMrSnuggles responds:

lmao, thanks dude
