NekoMika's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thinking]

Has a very chill and relaxing vibe to it. Song just seems oddly nostalgic yet happy at the same time. I could drive around in a car to this and relax hearing it. You did quite well with this, thanks for making a relaxing piece of music to think to. :)

larrynachos responds:

Thanks for the review! I also got that happy sentimental vibe. Glad you liked it! :)

[Incendi]

The buildup is pretty nice. The song has a sinister boss vibe to it as if you were fighting a boss who spam teleports around you and then shoots waves of bullets everywhere. Would be fitting for a boss battle like that I think.

The bass and drums are nice. I like the atmospheric synth that helps build up the sound for this piece as well.

EMBL3M responds:

Thanks!

[Codex [WIP]]

This is pretty nice and atmospheric. I would suggest taking out the clap sound overall as I think it clashes with the rest of the beat. After the clap vanishes, it does not sound off afterwards at all. Would not mind hearing a longer and full version of this tune minus the clapping.

Teckmo-X responds:

Thank you for your response. I can do that no problem. I'm also noticing myself that there isn't much variety to it so I'll experiment with more synths and leads. I'll keep working on them.

[Corkscrew and Syren - Party Night]

Such a chill piece and so distant + laid back. This seems less like a party song and more like a song for getting ready to do something great with the day and making the most of it. The wet clapping sound feels like it could have been made slightly quieter but otherwise, awesome and chill piece.

ItzCorkscrew responds:

I hope I'll get more review like these from you and others, thank you very much!

[Corkscrew - Meteora]

This has a powerful buildup to it that would not sound out of place for the start of an epic showdown or a really hard boss fight in an RPG or mech game. The title makes me think of Meteor from Final Fantasy Seven for some reason.

The drop is a smooth transition and the dubstep bass is a very chill melody. What plug-in and effects did you use for the dubstep bass?

Great shit dude, hope you continue to improve your craft.

ItzCorkscrew responds:

I used FLStudio 12 with Serum, Sylenth1 and ReFX nexus (just for the intro) :) Also thank you very much for the feedback!

[Zzz - Nichijou (Remix)]

Not a bad remix at all. Probably one of my favorite anime outros along with The Pet Girl of Sakurasou anime's outro. This remix catches the upbeat feeling of the original but with a simpler rhythm and no vocals. Very well made, happiness in such a simple remix, good work.~

SkullPioneer responds:

Thanks :)

[boing3.mp3]

"boing2.mp3" did you mean "boing3.mp3" in the description? :P

This song feels like something that would play in an odd style of a boss battle to be honest. The boing sound makes me think of a kangaroo or bouncy boss. The main synth reminds me of Need for Speed: Hot Pursuit which was a fun PSX game. Really fun sounding piece, feels like it is all over the place, hope to hear another joke song in the future. :)

ty for the review! HTID

[Piggy (cover)]

Really good cover overall, sound like a much younger Trent Reznor minus sounding like you are loudly whispering like in the original. The hammer hitting sounds a bit off to me but otherwise sounds like a great cover, wonderful work on this one!

paperbrain responds:

Thank you!

[Creo - Rock Thing]

Holy fucking damn, this feels like a trip back to early 2000s movies and morning cartoons that were very action-based.

No audio clipping, the guitars are long smooth notes with no issue.

The drums kind of remind me of one of the demo songs from early Windows PC computers and also for some reason makes me think of The Blue Man Group for whatever reason.

I could see this song being used for credits or an opening, would fit in either place, loving this beat and I hope your music only continues to improve, awesome shit dude!

CreoMusic responds:

Yeah, I was also thinking about cartoon-ish action sequences all the time while I was making the song. I think it could fit into something like that perfectly. :)

Anway thanks for the review, glad you enjoyed!

[You Don't Have To Swear]

The beat is not bad but I feel at times that the synth could have been different or lower in pitch, I don't know. Nice to see you get back into music, all I can recommend is practice and play around to see what new sounds you can make, not used Reason myself so not much I advice I can give. Song is nice but the high pitched synth just feels out of place to me.

Quarl responds:

Thanks Neko :D
