SamuraiOwl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Agente.001 - Macrolumens (NGUAC v.)]

PLEASE release this! This is a little different from your usual style but not in a bad way. Absolutely awesome use of cymbals and ambience. Growls are SOAKING wet, how do you even get them to sound like that?!

P.S. what do NGUAC and NGADM actually stand for, and how do you apply?!

Agente001Tomhson responds:

"Newgrounds Audio Deathmatch" and "Newgrounds Underdogs Audio Contest". Once they are announced you can submit any track of yours and the judges will decide if you enter or not. However the submission deadline has already passed for both comps.

Sound Design wise this was just a saw wave with 16 + 1 voices and a harmonic layer ran through a vocoder with a lot of filter movements.

[The Hammer]

Classic TSRBand.
There is an aweful lot of highs in those cymbals, might wanna tame those a bit.

Why do you rate all your songs as T? I haven't seen a single swear word in any of the lyrics.

TSRBand responds:

Thanks for listening! I think the lyrics can still be a bit dark or violent so I just set them as T :)

[Zoftle - Funktopia [Future Funk / Complextro]]

That sampled bass guitar SLAPS! Awesome!
This is definitely different, but still really good. I like the use of vocal samples.

Zoftle responds:

Thank you sooo much!!

[MORGUE STORM - SWAMP KING]

Not quite "heavy metal," but SUPER unique! I'd love to see more of this. GO, MORGUE STORM!!

Noisemama responds:

Yeah, I agree - there was sort of a limited selection of genres to pick from, so I went for the closest I could find. Glad you like it, though! I'll be posting the other song we did over the next couple days.

[The Prowl]

Super cool atmospheric track! Love it! It's not DnB though, I don't think.
If you keep making cool stuff I'll be happy to scout you.

OrangeFluff responds:

Ooh, that would be awesome, thank you!

[Anti-Violence]

Definitely a different style, but still cool. The one thing I will say is that it feels empty overall. I dunno, maybe that's just a DnB thing but that's just what I noticed. Otherwise, I love it! Nice drum patterns, did you program them yourself?

Xenodrop responds:

Thx for your review! And yes drum patterns made by me.

[EDEXY - Riot]

Awesome song. Pretty intense. Love the subtle shouting samples in the background. There's a lot of sidechaining here too, makes it sound cleaner and more professional. Well done!

edexy responds:

Thank you!

[Halftime VIP Scrapped 2nd Drop]

You should make a new song with this, this is fire!

Zoftle responds:

Thank you man! I’ll consider it xD

[Rise [NGADM Round 1]]

Very well-done! The intro is really long (I mean it's like half the song) but the song is very pretty and has a lot of depth.

Benji-G responds:

Thanks man! Yeah the intro is indeed very long, but since there is only one drop I figured it would have a longer build to it, but maybe it's just too long lol.

[Zoftle - Upon a Singing Star]

Epic! I personally think the vocals should be louder. You have a really nice voice. Juicy drops and basses, as always.

Zoftle responds:

Thank you so much! I have trouble with mixing vocals but hopefully in the near future my songs will have more audible vocals!
