daniel-mcl's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Storm's over at the beach DEMO]

Samples need upgrade

The music is okay as composed, but the woodwind sample is distractingly awful. See if you can change it to a related instrument sample that sounds a little better, or get someone to record it live, or download some soundfonts. Also it's not presently loopable.

ccc75 responds:

Thanks for the feedback. I guess I didn't realize that. I see if I can find something better.

[What the heck is this song]

Ouch...

That was on track to be a solid 5/5 until the vocals at the end, which render the entire thing unusable.

Arnas responds:

Cutting in Audacity works.

[Watermelon Man (my version)]

Needs more horns

The trumpet in the beginning doesn't work for some reason, and I think it's because that style of lead playing requires a horn section beneath it to make it work out. Since it seems like you layered most of this anyway maybe you could write up some 2nd - 4th trumpet parts and record them underneath.

sorohanro responds:

not a bad idea, maybe later i will, also i really should record a solo on it
thanx for review

[Paper Dragon, wedding version]

Awesome

Shows a definite understanding of the genre. The guitar solo deserves much better mixing. Solid trumpet work.

sorohanro responds:

i agree that needs a better mixing, but you really don't want to know on what crap i had do do that ... FAST !!!
thanx for the review
