HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Training]

Kinda reminds me of Actraiser / Soulblazer samples. Am I off? This is pretty well composed and the chip-struments are good.

RealMrSnuggles responds:

I'm actually not familiar with the series. I made this a long time ago using FL studio presets lol. I wanted to make something that sounded cool with double bass drum and a strong bass guitar.

[You gotta lose it! (LOOP-JUNGLE DNB)]

Pretty well produced. Interesting vocals.

Triented responds:

Thanks man! If you wanna hear the entire track that this is looped from, check out my soundcloud.
Here's the direct link ;)
There's a couple edits for the loop but it's the track.

[A Halloween Tale [Short]]

Well, this is gonna wind up in a movie or game, whether you like it or not. And no, it won't be by my hand. I'm not talented enough to make movies or games rofl.

Reminds me of Adam's Family and Danny Elfman. Keeps evolving too, like a Hollywood classic. Before Hollywood started to suck ass.

[Music in My Heart .♞]

It's alright. Bit muddy lower end.

[Another small track in major]

Not enough weeeooooooowwwwws. 0/10

[Inktober #28 - The Groove, The Search]

Annunciation and inflection feels a bit rough at parts. But I struggle to speak normally. So I can't really cast stones there.

Side note: this reminds me of Massive Attack big time. Nice work.

Cyberdevil responds:

Thanks for the feedback. Annunciation is definitely one thing I still need to improve on, seems to be part accentual and part physical - just don't have the ideal jaw for optimal articulation, but there's a lot of great artists out there who manage even with some real kind of speech impediment. I'll get there!

And that's an awesome comparison. :) Thanks.

[Getsix - Pulse]

This needs to be in a DDR game right naow.

[Spirits Lament]

Loving that ambience at the start. Ruh roh - spooky vibes... Nice down-tempo distortion!
0:43 is cool. Sample-work here is not too shabby. 1:43 is a good breakdown/transition.
1:52 good countermelody section!
2:08...love that german pluck...can't remember the name of that instrument atm.

Jxudo responds:

Thank you for the details and feedback! I love comments like these.
And it's a harpsichord ;)

[Spirits Lament RE]

Reminds me of Castlevania meets Legend of Zelda OoT (the windmill). Samples are a bit crusty, but they do the job more or less.

[Depression]

Doesn't make me want to kill myself (more than usual). Not dark enough imo. Still. Nice tune.

RealMrSnuggles responds:

Thanks. It's not dark, thats for sure. I personaly find it sad though.
