StompySan's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

Sounds like a hardstyle track

Overall a pretty cool track. Have a question, though. How did you achieve that kick starting at about 1:18? That sounds like a really professional hardstyle kick.

theta4 responds:

it's two source samples i made. they're layered. i can't exactly remember the method i used to make them, but i'll be uploading them to freesound soon. i'll put the link here when i do.

EDIT: here's the link to the sample pack containing the kick. there are other kicks there as well http://www.freesound.org/packsViewSin gle.php?id=4350

[Candy Rainbow (not really)]

nice

Those screetches are awesome. The kick, however, could use a little work. Try and layer it with another bassy kick, to really give it some more kick (AAAAUUGGH TOO MANY USES OF THE WORD KICK). Anyway, nice little tune.

theta4 responds:

kick kick kick kick kick. *that* is too many uses of the word kick :)

anyway, thanks for the review. i'm glad you like it. for you or anybody else who may care, the screeches were done by using the same method as is used to get a megasaw sound, but with a *lot* of detune on the chorus, a lot of distortion, and playing notes in the higher octaves.

Woah

OK. The opening piano is a turn-off. Using preset FL Keys doesn't sound that great. You can get a better VST for the piano here:

Also, I would have liked to hear a better guitar synth. However, after listening to this, I think it works. The screaming is a little overbearing during the chorus, but it sounds great. Nice reverb effects with the screaming. Overall, pretty cool. Gonnna watch your account. Cool.

SO MUCH BETTER THAN THE ORIGINAL

I was amazed as to how awesome this sounded. The only thing that I did not like AT ALL was the opening bass melody. That really grimy, loud sounding bass. I don't think I works with this song. But other than that, it is great. Some minor clipping on my end, but that may just be Newgrounds.

Also, where did you get the vocals? I want to remix it now. lol.

zomgkerrie responds:

i just got the vocals off of mininova. yea, i promise to fix the opening bass! thanks for the listen!

[kissed a girl remix(demo)]

Cool

Cool sounding. Not much to complain about with this one. I just want to ask you something: Where did you get the vocal track for this? I want to remix it now. lol

zomgkerrie responds:

i just got it off mininova i think....if you pm me your email, i can send it to you:D thanks for listening:D did you hear my full version?

Clipping...

It's a good song, but the bass ruins it for me. I dunno if it is just my headphones (I doubt it is, since they are Skullcandy Skullcrushers) or if the bass has some pretty heavy clipping going on, but either way, it is definitely a downside. Even with the bass how it is, this song is good. 7/10 and 4/5.

cornandbeans responds:

yeah I agree, I produced this track using my sennheiser 201s and they rolled off the bass end quite a bit. I got 280's last year and they really show the exaggerated quality of the bass. Not that the bass itself is terrible, it just takes up way too much headroom.

Great Song

All of your songs are great! The only question that I have: Are you signed to a record label yet? If not, you need to be.
