ManWhoDares's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Palabras]

That's a really good guitar sound. Is it really a free/demo sound? Or a live-recorded guitar? Anyway, real smooth sound.

DivoFST responds:

Thanks for the review ManWhoDares!
The guitar was played live and recorded on a 22 euro USB Guitar Link, then i used Amplitube 3 demo and several other free plugins to achieve that sound, i can give you all of them so you can make your guitar sound like mine if you want :)

[Will To Fight!]

Damn this is awesome. I really wish I crafted something like this. I could imagine a modified version of it in an rpg right before the crew heads out for the final battle or something. I really like the way you arranged it with the percussion and guitar and everything. The only thing I don't like is that the guitar seems a bit too dry imo. Personally I'd have added a bit of reverb or something to give it a bit more space, you know? Pretty good though.

StinsonJazz responds:

Thanks man! Yeah, I can definitely see this in a lead up to a big battle. Also, I really appreciate your feedback and I'll keep that in mind on my next one of these. I'm really glad you enjoyed it!!

Yo, I remember you from your brawl beat you made years ago.

This is good, not really my style though. I'm more into boom bap style, if you know what I mean. Could you try making one like that next? Still, this is really well produced. Peace mate.

[The Valley of Apples and Hope]

Real nice man. It is a shame you didn't get any reviews. I could imagine it in an overworld theme in a game about Japan. Kind of like Ookami. I'm planning on making a game about Japan in the far future. Maybe I'll contact you then. I did want to write most of the OST but tbh my skills are only slightly above amateur, if not amateur.

Krichotomy responds:

Honestly, I feel like this tune is too dynamic and varied to be an overworld theme. It might make a better title theme or intro theme.

Okami is a great game. I particularly like its art style.

Well, maybe your skills will have improved significantly in the far future! (Hopefully mine will as well.)

Thanks for the review!

[Japanese Jam]

I like it. In the beginning I wasn't too fond of the first guitar tone you used, but I started to like it as the track went on.

[Flower Fields]

This is really good. Though, and I know its just a loop, but I feel like it really needs a melody...

[Wiggle(Solar Remix)]

It is a pretty good electronic track. The mix was pretty well done too. May I ask what DAW you used?

SolarFloss responds:

lol sorry to ask, but what is DAW?

[Crumble Loop]

I don't really like that lo-fi effect you put on the background, but besides that it is a good loop I suppose.

[Disconcern (Remix)]

It ain't too bad. It's not my style but I like it. The only thing is it kind of sounds muddy at some points, like that section around 0:50. The thing is I'm not sure if that's cause of the effects you put on it or the sound itself. Maybe I'm tripping I don't know.
