Shanath's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sheer Tunage]

Umm..

I actually really like this, the melody is so damn catchy. I gotta say you did a pretty good job with this. Would love to hear more stuff like this in the future.

[.:Brothers:.{A-capella}]

Your voice...

It's quite lovely. I really love how well your voice sounds. The only thing that's bad about this altogether is the background noise all the way throughout the song. I'm sure you could have fixed that somehow and without it this would have been perfect.

I see you have no other entries, though. You really should get something else up in here. You have a wonderful voice.

All in all, it was pretty wonderful. :]

[Twee - Rise]

Nice!

I really like how relaxing this song is, but at the same time feels tense as well. Quite lovey, really. Even though the drums aren't very audible at parts, it's still a pretty awesome piece.

Hope to hear more from you. :D

tweerock responds:

I did that purposefully, actually, with the drums; it just wouldn't feel right having them overwhelm the rest of the sound.

Thanks for the review!

[Wishful Thinking - Xar]

Hmm

The melody isn't too bad for being a short loop but the main synth you use throughout the song is pretty annoying to my ears. Not bad, though since it's been a while.

Nice to hear new stuff from you.

Xarosas responds:

Started messing around with harmless ( i need to test my songs on speakers because i normally use a headset to make the songs )
oh well, a lesson learned.

listening to it a second time around, i guess high sounds arent for everyone xD

[MS: Slime Tree 8 Bit Remix]

Ah... memories.

This brings back so many memories. I used to play this game back when the only servers the game had were Scania and Bera. Had a level 96 Chief Bandit around 2003-2004 or so. Back then leveling was hard as hell, the game's just too different now, plus I was only a kid then.

Thank you for this. Brought back a lot of joyful memories. :3

TheDDJ responds:

But of course. I remember spending time smashing stuff on my page. Everyone criticized me. But more than anything, my page was where my childhood went. I remember countless hours spent at wild boars. I remember the first monster carnivals and making my first million mesos.

Good times.

You're welcome. If you're into hardstyle music, go ahead and check out my other songs. Maybe leave me some feedback there? I'm in the business of improvement, and if you have a taste for it, you can leave me some more input.

Thanks again for the nine, and I am glad you enjoyed it.

[MMBN5 Virus Busting]

Nice.

Ah... this is pretty great. Though I'll always keep BN3 songs in higher regard. Capcom just couldn't match in later installments how amazing BN3 was.

Anyway, lovely. :]

Hope to hear more from you.

FRAYDO responds:

thanks!

[A Dream Not Far From Home]

Hey, been a while!

This loop is pretty great. You really need to work on an extended version of this sometime. I'd love to hear it.

Hope to hear more from you. :]

[SSJ3 - J-E-N-O-V-A '11]

Good, but..

I kind of agree with the previous reviewer about the instrument sounds themselves. You should really try to get some decent VSTs or something else. Soundfonts aren't really good at sounding realistic compared to other choices
available.

I really like the 2:29-3:14 section, though. Quite lovely.

Shiverwar responds:

Well, I really don't have a choice. I don't have any money to get the EastWest Symphonic Orchestra VST like I want to, and I only have soundfonts to work with, so I've got to settle for these sounds. Sorry, but that's just what I have. Other than that, I do appreciate your review.

[SSJ3 - Still Going Strong RDX]

Hmm

I've never heard the original song before so I can't really comment basing myself off that but the melody sounds a little too repetitive all the way through. Maybe you should have made the song shorter or something.

I do like how the song ends but still too repetitive for me.

Keep it up, though. I'll be sure to check out some of your other stuff.

Shiverwar responds:

That seems to be the problem with a majority of my songs lately! Ha!

I was merely trying to follow the original, but make it a bit better and a little more progressed. But a lot of songs out there are repetitive. xD Thanks for your review nonetheless, and nice icon!

[RPG: Orchestra Battle Theme]

Hmm..

I like the melody itself but there's a lot of distortion and clipping problems. Probably cause the song went above the 0.0 dB as you made it. If you could fix that this would sound a lot better, but as it is can't be any higher than a 5 for me.

Keep it up, though.

CheckeredZebra responds:

I fixed it, sorta, unfortunately your volume will have to be turned waaay up. There's a lot of rich sound on this one, which is why it was doing that. All of it had to be tuned down :(
