8-bitheroes's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Down [Rough Demo]]

I like those chuggy guitar sections, reminds me of metallica. Some of the guitar playing sounds a bit sloppy/slightly out of time to me though. I do like the riffs and If you want some good software amps i would recommend guitar rig. But if you want a free one look up poulin le456, i use that one occasionally and it does the job. Btw what software do you use for drums?

Wilhiemthe2nd responds:

I use EZ Drummer for my drums, no external add ons.
I have looked up the poulin le456, though at the time the server was clogged so I couldnt really get my hands on it.

Also I need to learn to record my guitar lines AFTER I write my bass and Drums. Cause Apperently I'm not so good at following just a metronome, haha.

[Space Trip (ALBUM) Preview]

I like the these tunes mate, all sounds top notch!

8BitPICE responds:

Thanks man!

[Murasaki Sky]

Sounds are all pretty good. It really sounds mixed well on my headphones. The hat that is playing in the right ear could go down abit in volume in my opinion. The song flows really nicely and the breakdowns are simple but offer some needed variation. I think the drums could do with more variation and fills in there too and maybe some more filtering going on in places to mix it up abit.

Chemiqals responds:

Thanks for the feedback! =)

[Wintery Snow(Original)]

This could fit well into a games menu i think. Or something chilled out like ilo milo on 360. Anyway not bad, all the sounds work well together, could probably do with a bit of variation. like a part that sounds like its playing under water with some low pass filtering and some reverb/chorus/delays etc. Thats my two pence.

EctiBot responds:

Glad you liked it. Agree that this need more variation, though I probably wont go back to it in the near future. Thx for the review :)

[This is future(E-city Remix)]

Good work buddy, The synths sound pretty high quality and i like the chords, is that sylenth i can hear? keep doing what your doing man, im digging it.

EctiBot responds:

Thx alot man :D.
Means alot coming from you as your music is epic ;).
And yes I used sylenth for most of the synths in this :).
Glad you liked it :D. I'll be sure to keep making music for you to enjoy ;).

[The Nightingale Order]

Excellent work, The percussion really is the backbone of this and together with the strings sounds epic. The mix sounds pretty good to me too, One of my faves i think. You have got yourself a new fan!

LunyAlex responds:

That means a lot. Thank you kindly!

[Destruction of a World]

Wow, really like it! Its one of my faves from this contest for sure. You captured the feelings of space very well. I think if i was to add anything it would be more subtle textures, maybe in the form of percussion and foley sounds.

popraz responds:

Thank you very much !

[Breakout]

I like the use of guitar in this, and the whole things got a very catchy groove. I feel it could of had more variation in it though as it does get a bit repetitive. The mix sounds pretty good to me and far as i can tell all the elements sounds like there in the right place.

Reinteck responds:

Thanks for your kind words!

[Opening Theme 8]

Its very magical, fantastical sounding piece. I really like all the elements but itnends a bit weird, like itnqas cut off. Were the drums live? Sound like congas or bongos, really like them.

samulis responds:

Drums were indeed live, done by Camoshark. Glad you liked it.

[Feels Like Water (Original Mix]

This sounds really polished and shiny. The drums are solid and the atmospheres are deep. I'm not all that into trance but i'm pretty sure you nailed it with this. Only thing i would add is that it was a tad long for my liking but then maybe thats a common thing with trance? like i say i don't have much experience with this particular genre.
Great sounds man.

Sequenced responds:

Trance is kind of an acquired taste really. Not everyone can enjoy its full length of beauty ! ;)

Thanks man!
