Daru925's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vader Bells - Imperial Christmas]

You know, this time the tambourine? felt much more belonging to the track, cant explain why.
Again it is just my opinion, i guess you guessed from my previous review^^
As usual the brass is very good and recording quality is superb.
(Ive always wanted to play some trombone or saxophone, but computer were a cheaper choice for me, maybe one day)
Anyway, the transition into the dark side was smooth, funny little Sith carol^^
So do you think JarJar is a sith? ahah

sorohanro responds:

Thanks for the funny review.
You can't have Christmas carols without some metal percussion, so, now the tambourine makes more sense (musically).
A cheap way to start playing a real brass instrument would be getting a pocket trumpet. You can find under 100$.
JarJar is definitely a sith. Not only the eyes, not only his abilities (well hidden), but mostly the spread of hatred he managed to infect most of decent (quite light I would say) Star Wars fans. To induce so much hatred and violence, you must be a sith lord, a big powerful one.

[Cantina Band Theme]

Not so sure about the tambourine, a little distracting at times, but overall...
BANTHA POODU it is not! ^^

sorohanro responds:

Thanks for the review. Hopefully this weekend we'll make a video for it and after that you'll realize how important tambourine is.

[yea]

The part at 0:38 was totally sub par compared to the rest of the track.

TheBetterAudioPortal responds:

Sorry, I'll try and to better next time.

[MIDI Mayhem Cover]

Made with famirom! :D

TheBetterAudioPortal responds:

Nope.

[A Wish [Remix]]

Those snow wolves are pretty tough!

NyxTheShield responds:

I always found... interesting how such a chill, melancholic area could be so hard, i hated those damned wolves lol

[Amy's Wrath]

Prepare for the cool break at 1:22!

DESHIEL responds:

Hinting your favorite part are you huh? :D I like it around that place myself.

[Sec C]

I didn't know the chemicals made a new track! :D
Superb voice for a superb track.

ScottJacob responds:

Haha! Thank you if you're referring to the chemical brothers i greatly appreciate your comment :D

[Duel Zone!!]

So catchy! I enjoyed it :D
The rhodes around 0:47 is my favourite part.
Like your other tracks, the reverb gives the impression that i'm watching a band play live.

NyxTheShield responds:

Thanks ^^ I am kinda a fan of reeverb, i don't like dry sounds hahahaha

[Forest of Melancholy [Donkey K]

Very nice!

NyxTheShield responds:

Thanks ^^

[Republic of Nowhere]

I like the melodies and rythms, good variety of instruments, though it felt a little sad, for an anthem, but maybe that's why you go to Republic of Nowhere?
As usual, soundfounts give this videogame's touch; totally reminds me of rpgs on 2D consoles. Good!

The track has pretty good clarity, each instruments has its own space in the frequency range.
Volume wise, the snare is ok, but the drum is a little too shy...
I would give the drumkit a LITTLE more presence.
Remember when watching marching bands?
You can feel this one rumbling on the street usually.
Since it's a soundfount, you might have not much controls, but the horns full force all the time can get tiring quickly.

Hope you'll find something useful in this review for your next tracks!

LexRodent responds:

Useful indeed Man, those are good suggestions.
I will apply them to improve this track, (and future ones) as soon as I can.
The sad feel is intended, as you noticed, thanks for the feedback.
