larrynachos's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[...As They All Fall]

The ambient plucks at 2:49 are my favorite. Umf <3

xWhitexFlamex responds:

Mmm solo build :P

[Hurts Me Every Time]

Will probably always be my favorite song from you.

...Unless our Endgame tracks are phenomenal.

[Djent Slayer]

This is kind of an odd combination, using dance drums and fl goddamned slayer to create djent music. Interesting nonetheless. The bends sounded off though. given that the majority of the notes were 0s (not on a fret), you wouldn't be able to slide from 0 to 1 unless you pressed down on the strings above the neck ridge. Also, if you were using 2 notes, switching only the lower string to 1 while keeping the second string a 0 would have produced a much more desirable effect.

whammy bar

[kick]

Jesus this is intense. LiquidOoze did a good job with the kick sample. You should make more like this o.o

[Achieved Relief]

Oh geez, this is amazing! Very ambient and "big". I like it a lot! ^^

[SS BloodBird]

The intro was pretty interesting, although the beeps were kinda annoying after a while. I can pick out a few Nexus2 synths in this song lol.

Doesn't really sound like a cinematic song to me (the beat is still EDM), but to each his own. I like this song!

Felocai responds:

You're right, there are some nexus sequences in this song.
I'm glad you like it :3

[My Fondest Heartache]

Hmm, I'm not sure about this song lol. It didn't sound very appealing until like 1:36. The percussion was kinda rough and "in your face", but other than that, this was a pretty interesting song!

You should post the lyrics in the description though. I can't understand any of it!

sleepFacingWest responds:

The percussion is part of the ham-fistedness. The lyrics are the other part. I typically like more layers in meaning, but I couldn't make this one go. Regardless:

Hello my friend
It's me again

Home is where you are
Lay down the public mask
Tug the strings of my heart
Spark the powder cask

Detonate the space
Where the haustorium grow
Sweetgrass cedar and sage
Let all the villains go

Put the headphones on again
Play my favorite song
Turn the world off with a switch
This is where I belong

Despite the ways I try
I'll never be the one
To understand goodbyes
When we were still having fun

Listen to your bliss
The sound will take you home
Vibrating bits of air
This is the world I know

I guess this is goodbye
We stopped before we left the ground
You'll never be my fondest heartache
'Cause between the two of you I choose sound

[C.U.R.E. (Concentrated Unmaking Robotic Entity)]

I wasn't a fan of the intro (it looks sick with the visualizer though), but at 1:30 things got really damned interesting!

The glitchy parts were really hit or miss for me. Sometimes my brain is like "yeee I love it", but other times it's like "yo I think there's something wrong"

Aside from those two things, this song was incredible!

Noisysundae responds:

First, thank you again for the review. :)
Aha, that means my fake crowd cheer noise does its job well. XD
I used 3xosc for the base noise, full resonance band pass filter on mids (I used Fruity parametric EQ 2), and an uber reverb! It sounds good only in the background of other instruments for me though.
On the glitches, that "yo I think there's something wrong" vibe is what I expect from you when you play it on the visualizer. I intentionally freezed it.
<Your browser name> is not responding. :D

[Rathunas - Cinematic Trailer]

- RRC -

Jesus, this is great! The mixing is flawless, and the instruments fit together so nicely! I especially liked the choir!

I love how it changes pace several times. The dungeon section sounds odd though. All of the instruments get kinda squished into the middle, instead of spreading out like the first two sections. I'm assuming it was intentional, so I'll treat it as such.

Great song!

SoundChris responds:

Thanks you very much larrynachos! Yeah - it is true that in the dungeons part something seems to have happened. It feels more mono (if that is what you ment), The problem is that i dont hve that project file anymore (it seems as it had been lost when i emigrated to my new mac pro - dont ask me why... and i just have the mp3 here ... :(

Glad you enjoyed the track :D

[Night Rights]

I was a bit worried when in the beginning there was only sound coming out of the right headphone, but this song is frigging great! The mixing is nice, and the beat just makes me want to dance!
