SuperGoodSound's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[~Memories~]

mixing = good

Wow. This is some pretty good stuff. I'm liking the epic feel and interesting chord changes. Nice.

[.:=Phoenix Chronicles - Ep4=:.]

why are headphones not reccomended?

It sounds fine. Headphones aren't meant to sound any "different". The quality is always going to be more important than simply headphones vs. speakers. Anyway. A great piece which keeps a level of energy flowing throughout that helps sustain all the parts (it's kinda synergistic I guess). Some sounds are a little higher quality sounding than other. The choir voices were well done. It brings in nice touches at parts with the strings. Very video-game oriented.

Draqo responds:

Yes I love strings and it's synthed choirs cousin. The series is indeed merging into the early 90's video game feel as with Episode 5 will be. Stay tuned.

Thanks for the review. :D

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Impact]

fantastic

no criticism for you here. This flows effortlessly and seems to dig deep for that wealth of content and character. This is simply too good to not download. Light-years ahead of so much around here and even 90% of the commercial stuff available. Would like it to be longer I might add. Should be pressed onto vinyl and played in clubs all over the world.

[The Belmont Legend]

i love these songs...

Really neat. Soundtrack worthy as usual. The quality almost makes me think of the Harry Potter movies (sorry) but the scores for those were quite well done (naturally). Wonderful arrangement here. Hard to go anywhere but up, and well - frankly that will be a very good thing. I would think people looking for soundtracks would be stupid not to enlist someone like you.

[Reasoner- Champions Green]

this rocks.

Dang. It's incredible. I can feel the emotion being presented here. I've got to download this one. It's absolutely top-notch. geez. so good.

Reasoner responds:

Awesome,,thanks for downloading it!

[Reasoner- Where Do We Turn]

10 for the recording quality especially...

Phenomenal recording quality! What are using to mic this thing? It sounds really full and oozing with character. Sounds like some slight compression on there as well. Very nice. Quite enjoyable. Wish I could get my Kawai upright to sound like this. I guess I should post some of my piano songs. They don't sound quite as good (I had some crappy sm58 ripoff mics...) though. I suppose I could eq em to death though!

5/5

Reasoner responds:

I would love to lie right now and say that I used AKG C414's on the front with ribbon mics underneath in a studio hall hooked up to some killer preamps. But I'm afraid it's a multisampled piano patch from the Reason Refill Pack. I know.....I feel ashamed...lol. I couldn't fit a baby grand in my apartment ;-). Thanks for the review though.....your stuff is awesome as well.

[Desert Clash (DEMO)]

very realistic...

oh my. I thought sound was coming from my speakers when really it was just from my headphones. That's how I know something sounds right. It always fools me into thinking it's coming from somewhere else and not the actual source. Well done! You're likely using an expensive library or something.

Geigamg responds:

Haha well in all hopes it will sound as epic as I want it too when i am through with it, but before that i have to make a D&B track ^_^.
Thanks for the review, i am fond of it.

[[tC] - Waiting]

excellent...

smooth. beautiful. Such a nice little piece. I don't like the quick delay on the piano. Drums are well executed. chord changes!! wow! wasn't expecting that. this needs to be much longer and revamped to one of those "epic trance" pieces...

i can hear what it would sound like. it would be awesome of course.

[Shining Light]

you clowns don't know how to rate...

half of you cheerleaders out there rating this stuff wouldn't have a clue if a decent loop smacked you in the back of your head.

you think this is worth a 2? or less?

No. and please do the world a favor and never become a music critique for any major publication. the production here (while minimalistic) is superior than so much crap thrown out around here...

the end. period.

[I'm A Little Teapot]

I don't really like death metal growling vocals

but 8 for production and overall coolness. Good job! Most of the elements were recorded really quite well (not perfectly, but decent). Creativity and spontaneity are definitely the strong points here...

sculpted-cold responds:

I'm a terrible vocalist, but none of my friends wanted to do vocals for it so I just threw some over the song, hehe. I guess I should mention this was first written as a joke, but I've grown kind of fond of it as of late. Maybe I'll try to actually form the band.

Thank you for the review, though. :D
