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! :)

[Censured]

The song has a great rhythm to it. Honestly, the only thing I would change is cutting out the vocals at the start since they seems very out of place, adds nothing to the song, and does not even sound like it should be part of the song. Otherwise I think you did well with this one. Has a bit of a dreamy / action sound to it that mixes well.

[The Hitcher]

The drum kick coming out of the left ear seems out of place. I can understand if this was a live recording and if that is the case then the drum set should have been positioned more towards the center so it would not sound off balance. This sounds like a tribute towards QoTSA indeed but it feels off without hearing dreamy-ish drawn out vocals singing a song unfortunately.

The song is well done, only thing that needs to be changed is the position of the drum set to be honest.

[Xtrullor - Samsara]

"And they kept fighting onward towards the end"

This is pretty damn epic, not much you could do to improve this piece to be honest. It just has such a upbeat sound to it that it gives a feeling of hope and calmness while inspiring. Great piece!

[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!

[ColBreakz - Robots]

Was that an Earthbound sample I hear near the start? Sounds like the sound for when using a PSI attack. Awesome if it is, if it is not then not bad for hitting a slight nostalgia effect on me. :3

The bass and drums hit hard and fast on this one. The synth sounds so wet and makes me think of a Celldweller song for some reason. The overall sound of this song is incredible and would not be out of place for a boss fight, race, or running level, awesome stuff. :D

[Everybody's Talkin]

Is that some cinematic hip hop sampling? This just sounds amazing, I like it a lot. :D

[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!
