seel's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rehash]

Sounds pretty cool

Very 90's video game-esque, the bass is very fatiguing though, it could be a bit quieter on the parts where the strings aren't playing because it's too dominant in the mix. Didn't really loop seamlessly, mostly because of the silence at the but that's easy to edit out.

I came here from the audio advertisement thread, all I ask of you is to go there once in a while and check out some stuff.

mrmcduts responds:

meah too long for a loop i guess anyways i just changed it to song

[Underwater super mario remix]

Trippy

This is just great, it reminds me a lot of the bonus level music in Super Mario Sunshine.

[The Horizon.]

Pretty cool material

Production sounds alright. Mixing is lacking a lot sadly, sounds very flat, dry and muffled, lacking punch and oomph.

RyanRoxx666 responds:

Thank you very much for constructive criticism.

I'll take this in to account and we'll attempt to make use of what you've said to help improve our tracks to come.

[Stickerbrush Symphony (DKC2xM)]

Pretty out of tune

a lot out of tune, bends, single notes and the ilk, have you intonated properly and tuned the guitar between takes? And like someone else said your tone is pretty bad, it's muddy and it sounds scooped and thin.
Other than that, this is a pretty swell idea, Sticherbrush Symphony being my absolute favourite DKC song.
You should really work on getting the notes right and improving your tone (better interface, better mic, new strings and what not) and try rerecording it some time.
Merely trying to help here, not bash, I hope to see an improved version in the future.

Pure-Metal-UTA responds:

Although I played the right notes and tuned my guitar before playing as I usually do, I don't tune my floyd rose correctly. I just try to tune it as fast as I can so I can get to playing which is the wrong way. I figure doing that would cause my guitar to detune faster, but that hasn't been the case normally. It still detunes, but it takes a helluva long time. That said I should probably tune it correctly and see how that improves things.
The bends and tone I agree with both you and HighBallers so there's not much argument there.
Thanks for the review!

[Techno Realms Reloaded]

I'm not into techno at all

But this was pretty darn sweet! Totally chillout and easy going. It could use some compression and limiting though, the volume is quite inconsistent. Sometimes it's super low and the all of a sudden it's pumping like hell. But as far as material goes you did a good job.

thebigtarget1 responds:

Sure i could look into some stuff. Its kinda supposed to jump to huge at some points though and soft at others. working on a replacement that just has a few more interesting things and tweaks too if you wanna tune in later as well.

[Monochromatic]

Production really does a lot

You should consider getting some proper production, mixing and perhaps even mastering. The material was pretty good, but the production kills it for anyone who can't look past that.

leario responds:

Thanks for commenting, again though this was recorded with a flip video camera and at the moment we don't have enough to invest in a better recorder this was just to showcase the song.

[PW - Godot's Theme]

Darker than a Moonless%uFEFF night

And hotter and more bitter than hell itself. That is coffee.

I only wish you would've used a sax for the lead lines instead of a guitar, but I will admit the guitar works just as well, an interesting interpretation for sure.

[Wind Waker Piano Medley]

Actually

WW is my all time favorite Zelda game, and I've played Zelda since the beginning of the 90's. 10/10

[Battle Of Britain (Feat. W.C.)]

I think you should stop using FL slayer

Or any guitar vsti software whatsoever, it just sounds bad.

AurumOnline responds:

I'm still learning :P

[Tschüss Sterben Sie]

Fucking brutal

Insane vocals, insane shredding, awesome drumming. Only thing I'm missing is the bass... Yet this is a fucking masterpiece, this is going onto my mp3 player.
