HoboKa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[AIM - supernova]

Pretty dang good. The main synth pad is a bit overpowering, though I'm not much better at super master mixwork either. I THINK the lower end is being overpowered...like the 125 hz and 250hz areas maybe. Not sure entirely.

tiyumusic responds:

yeah, i'm not too great at mixing, especially for genres similar to this one. but i'm happy you thought it was good, this is my first time doing dnb so i have a lot to learn lolol

thanks for commenting :DD

[I'm Not The Same]

Nice and catchy. Love the gating here.

DjTheDarkFlameMaster responds:

Thanks!! I love this track, it's kinda cool and chill. Have a nice day!

[SubSonic - Dark Side (EthoShark Remix)]

1:18 area is sick, with the metal snare and the robo voice/glitching.
Holy shit this is fire. 1:40 sick AF breakdown cut off effects and other crazy ass filter FX...daaaamn. 2:52 is some epic haunted swing type vibes, I dig it! Nice breakdown outtro at 3:48 too.

EthoShark responds:

thanks a lot! i really appreciate all the feedback

Love some classic 90's drum & bass psytrance-y Matrix vibes. Trippy as hell. Nice smooth beat too.

ThePal responds:

probably one of the better songs I've made in a while. thanks for listening! 🎵

[Anxiety]

Grats on the FP. Nothing like an April Fool's Remaster. Hehe. Wow this is kind of anxiety inducing. The wall of sound effect compression was a good touch to add to that effect. But it's also a bit relaxing, oddly enough. Kinda like some Frank Klepacki music.

Syntrus responds:

Cool

[Almagest | 2019]

Hey, grats on FP...I gotta check all your Yonder Ho videos too lmao. I'd like to remix some of your other works sometime...Caffiene adhd ftw.

Anyways...I think the bass is mixed a tad too high, but that is personal taste. Almagest reminds me of some 90's FMV Hell Mystery Point and Click Adventures.

Bertn1991 responds:

Thank you so much! I'll have to send some more MIDIs your way sometime.

And yeah, the bass is a bit overpowering I suppose >.<

Lastly, Yonder Ho looks and sounds pretty rough at times, but it occupies a special place in my heart. It's been around since 2013 and I'm still making episodes <3

[compline]

How do you come up with these cool leitmotifs on the fly? This is sick...uh...no pun intended. :3
Bootiful.

Troisnyx responds:

Thank you 💜

I feel I internalised leitmotifs after hearing those formative VGM scores — Kingdom Hearts, Final Fantasy, Kirby... I noticed similar melodies and that made me attempt my own.

[Rhythms of Light (FNF x Nier Automata x Fahad Lami Remix)]

Just saw this on your YT. It is mad swag. Good job with the animation and sick tune. I rly need to play the Nier games...Nier babe is good GF haha.

FahadLami-NG responds:

Thank you very much! :D

[Zartunak's Rampage (Great Gurianos x Fahad Lami Remix)]

Man this is great. Bad ass vocal samples. Very good use of percussion too.

FahadLami-NG responds:

Thanks
