Daru925's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Apex Twink]

Well done Richard!

Jukestar responds:

If it weren't for him, this wouldn't even exist.

[Fight Me [Boss Showdown Challenge]]

Superb track, that synth melody is so menacing!

at 2:11 it sounds like an ewok was captured and tossed in some stairs into a cell ^^
Next mascot of the dungeon ig ^^

Quarl responds:

Glad you enjoyed it Daru but damn, poor Ewok D:

[Rock On Gustafa [AIM 2023]]

Nice stroll :)

Quarl responds:

Thanks Daru!

[Star Sage]

Simply amazing!

Jukestar responds:

Happy to hear that!

[FD - Where Did the Time Go]

Really cool ambiance, and reading too.
I always listen to previous track to rebuild the mood as i think it helps enjoying the following track (s) more.
It will make a nice story/album when completed!

ForgottenDawn responds:

Cheers, thanks for your interest! 🙏

[▩harmonograph]

That karplus-strong sound reminds me of good ol FL Plucked! which i used a lot back in the day. It clashes a bit with bass near the end, but still a nice addition, and it fades into reverb quite nicely^^ Maybe take away its low end during chrous and bring it back at reverb time?

Song goes crazy in a good way, as others said the bass is the star of the show^^
The intro distorted whoosh into super clean focused sound is a neat trick!

xetto responds:

thanks :)

[continuity error Jazz/IDM/Future [MUSIC VIDEO]]

The chicken pit crowd went crazy^^ I can hear them chirping in lofi througout the track^^
Edit: ahaha no no! I mean the lofi sounds/arpeggio evoke the chicken, after you described your studio the other day^^ sorry for the confusion, the recordings are clean :D

Perfect track to summon proper springs season and melt all that snow^^
Seems like you had a lot of fun creating this track and it shows in the music!
Well done :)

Quarl responds:

Did I forget to mute some of the video? Damn... little chickens are in there and my old washed up ears didn't pick it up D:

[Neon Rose]

Sorry if i sound like an old record, but its as good as usual^^
Always a treat!

KrinnValKhristi responds:

Awwww thanks Daru! :)

[Journey deep into the ijskast]

Very nice track, is that a dulcimer?
Reminds me of Arcana.
I like that you tried to recreate the "simpler" sound of that era, minimal effects, melodies coming in and out quite harshly, because of midi limitations of the time.

SirSandman0 responds:

the instrument at the beginning is just a midi harp, but it does kind of sound like a dulcimer. Thanks for the feedback!

[Lament Of Dissolving Angels]

Fantastic soundscape!
Can feel the aftermath, but still being in the eye of the storm, with more problems on the horizon.

I like these kind of voxsynths, when they naturally start detuning, they really create eerie and beautiful reverbs, and are so fun to play with.
The whispering lamenting voices here and there integrate well.
Did you do that "demon" voice? Good job!

LD-W responds:

Yep! My own voice which has been reversed + ran through FreakshowIndustries Dumpster Fire
