NekoMika's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Krowe - Titans]

This sounds like a very smooth piece of music to me. I like how it has a feel of you awaking in a factory of some kind and entirely unaware of what all is going on around you at the same time too. You get up and decide to walk forth to see where the deep grumbling voice is coming from. You pick up a gun and try to find the way out while surviving an occasional monster and zombie here and there wondering how you ended up so deep down in a dark place like that.

You finally get out but see the outside is just as empty as the inside of the facility was. You feel it is going to be a long road ahead before you get any answers given to you.

The bass is elegant and smooth here providing a nice feel to the place and giving the feel something is around but you have no idea what it might be. Then the upbeat sounding synth appears to give hope and doesn't ever seem to go off to a bad key note which is great. The dub sounds are pretty cheery here and I clearly enjoy them too. Very well done there.

The deep voice was kind of weird to me. What was it saying? The light female breathing sound was also nice here. Great drum track that you made here, has a simplistic feel. That and the dub seems to give off a secondary feel of machines whirring in the distance.

Overall, excellent work here, sounds great.

[Dead Inside(A clipping song)]

Excellent metal track

Actually sounds really nice and I like how it sounds too. The vocals and the filter on them reminds me of King Crimson a bit too. Really nice short song and it is just completely great sounding. How long did this one take to write and create?

The guitar sounds great and I love the heavy crunchy sound it has to it. The bass is nice and I love the smooth rhythm to it. The drums are also nice and have a solid easy beat to them. Great vocals and lyrics too, excellent metal track!

Overall, great song!! \m/

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Thanks man. Glad you dug it. haha...it took me 1 hour. From scratch. lol. Inspiration is a good thing. haha. Especially when I'm not being finicky about the clipping instruments. I recorded them all clipping, but adjusted the volumes on the mixdown.

Thanks man, glad you dig it!!!

[Now you're a hero]

Wonderful song

This song tells the tale of a mockery to most platformers but at the same time the song makes you feel so happy for helping save everyone in that game. The tune here is great and I love how upbeat and happy it makes someone feel when they hear it after beating a game. Love how the lyrics suggest you should try playing again. Wonderful song!!

The guitar sounds great and I love how simple it feels. The bass rhythm is simple and sounds like it would be fun to play on bass. The drums are simple as well and have a well balanced rhythm. The vocals and lyrics are the best part too, excellently fun sounding piece. The aquatic feeling synth at the start gives that moment of happiness.

Overall, great song, beat that boss, burnt that rope and saved them all. Wonderful tune.

You have a talent of words my friend. Thanks for the kind comment!

[8-Bit Smells Like Teen Spirit]

Smells like Retro Spirit

Really nice and well done 8-bit cover of a great song. Only thing missing is making the vocals 8-bit as well, it would make it all the more interesting. Good work here.

[Dragonzball P]

Awkward

The kazoo playing was rather awkward. The beat is still pretty nice I guess. Although there is a good amount of it sounding like people are spitting and humming as well. This is just weird but it still is pretty humorous. Makes for some nice funny background piece if you were doing a not so serious animation or short.

[SR - Where I'm Going]

Voice

This is a simple sounding piece as you said. The tone of the song seems to be a person lost and not sure of where to go in life anymore as they feel slightly sad possibly too. Very soft song.

The guitar sounds very nice and I like how calm it sounds too. The vocals are also nice and I notice a layered effect from time to time to where you hear more than one voice. If anything could be fixed here I would turn down the bass a little bit so the voice is a little louder sounding, aside from that, nice simple tune.

Overall, simple, beautiful guitar playing.

[Bruce Willis Overture]

Dub wub wub yea!!

Tune sounds pretty bouncy and really cheery at the same time. Sounds like it could be the start up to some kind of epic boss battle too as it progresses and keeps on playing. Really nice sounding beat, great work on this.

The piano sounds calm and pretty wonderful here. The synth has a nice light rhythm here as it comes in and out of the song at different times to keep things interesting. Drums seem to have a most wonderful rhythm and it sounds like you had layered snare hits which was pretty neat. The dub sounds were great and it sounds like when it goes to full blown dubstep that it would make an excellent boss battle piece.

Overall, this is a pretty great song, nice dub sounds.

Thanks for the review, friend!

[-A New Leaf-]

So wonderful and refreshing

This kind of makes me think of watching a film where you watch the person cry for a moment as their last problem falls away and they look to the sky wondering if they can start it all over again and just be happy for once in their life hoping everything will be alright. Very beautiful composition.

The piano carried a nice melody and I liked how they almost sounded like there was a slight echo effect there for a moment giving that charismatic feel of knowing everything will be alright as you walk on and begin to leave the city and just enjoy the afternoon in the fields as some rain begins to fall.

The drums here sounded like there was a lot of enthusiasm and energy put into them too like the person playing was overjoyed to see it was all over. The drum beat was great. What drum sounds did you use here? The bass also carries a nice rhythm and sounds quite calming. The guitar is great and sounds like it was being played live.

Overall, this was a great tune. Has a very happy uplifting feel to it.

Hey man, thanks for the feedback. I haven't received any reviews in a while so I appreciate it!

"This kind of makes me think of watching a film where you watch the person cry for a moment as their last problem falls away and they look to the sky wondering if they can start it all over again and just be happy for once in their life hoping everything will be alright.

You know that's an excellent observation because now that I think of it, that is exactly what this sounds like, haha.

"The piano carried a nice melody and I liked how they almost sounded like there was a slight echo effect there for a moment giving that charismatic feel of knowing everything will be alright as you walk on and begin to leave the city and just enjoy the afternoon in the fields as some rain begins to fall."

Yeah I'm quite fond of the piano here. It's actually the first thing which sparked the inspiration for this song, because in fact I got the melody by doodling on the piano.

"The drums here sounded like there was a lot of enthusiasm and energy put into them too like the person playing was overjoyed to see it was all over. The drum beat was great. What drum sounds did you use here?"

The drum sounds are random drum samples. They sound good because I spent ages fiddling with their sound frequencies and reverb :P.

"The bass also carries a nice rhythm and sounds quite calming."

Glad you like it! That sound is actually a free soundfont. It doesn't sound very good so again I had to mix it right to make it sound decent along with the rest of the instruments.

"The guitar is great and sounds like it was being played live."

Well the VST I used has guitar samples which are recorded from real guitars so yeah.

"Overall, this was a great tune. Has a very happy uplifting feel to it."

Thanks for the feedback!
