ShirkDeio's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Karco - Time For Morning]

Cool

Congrats on best of the week. It's got a nice sound to it, with a good speed. The "empty" section was actually a really cool part of the song, even without lyrics.

Karco responds:

Thanks ShirkDeio, glad you liked it. :)

[Now you're a hero]

This song made that game

This is great! I love it!

Good rhythm, good drums, good tune, but above all, nice lyrics :D

Reachground responds:

You got it all right.

thanks!

[*Darkest Shadow* / ZeRo BaSs]

So much energy!

Keep your music coming, it makes me want to bust out StepMania with the Dance Pads and dance! Every song you make has so much energy, very very nice!!

ZeRo-BaSs responds:

Sure! Thanks!!

[Karco - Apology (Trance Remix)]

Nice :D

I'm typing this review as I hear the song, so here goes :D

The intro is pretty repetitive, just a kick and a hihat (before :25)

At :58, I'm starting to get tired of the bass...

There it is, I like this part (past 1:15). A heroic theme, almost. Good rhythm with the piano, it sounds great.

Whoa, is the piano reversed? As it plays with the kick and hihat! There is the beauty of the piano with the trance instruments, I love it.

Well, overall, I thought it was good, though too repetitive. There were good parts to it, like just after 1:15, and later on at 3:40 when the piano came together with the trance. Good luck with your next project(s)!

Karco responds:

For diversity, copy-pasting two comments from the previous response...

- I needed to leave myself somewhere to go, and I don't think starting right off with the bass would have been as good of an idea. Oh well. :)

- I haven't been giving myself grief over diversity lately... I kinda lost all of my will to make music a while back and the only way to finish anything is to give myself a break here and there. My standards have been a bit lower since it happened... funny thing is, my stuff since then sounds better to me than the stuff I've made before it happened. o_O

It's actually old composition. :P Glad you like it. :D

It's not reversed, it's sidechained, ducking under the kick. And yep, it's one of my favorite qualities of this song, too. :D

Well, glad you liked it. Thanks for the review! :)

[Hanging On Remix]

You didn't credit the original author...

Nice remix, but I don't like that you didn't give credit to the original author of the song, Blake Reary (www.myspace.com/blakereary). Anyways, good job, I liked your version better than his (he used this weird, bad-sounding hit at the beginning).

Lova-Gurl responds:

oh i didn't my bad i meant to

[Newgrounds: Still Alive (BETA)]

Funny

I liked it. I think it would be nice if you vocoded it, like the original.

I personally would prefer "butt," "bottom," or even "rear" instead of what you have now (paragraph 4 line 3 word 6).

Anyways, nice parody. Hope to hear a vocoded version, but whatever :D

sonicmega responds:

Some people might be a little "iffed" at my using of the word ass instead of a more discreet word, but I used it purely in the sense of making a complete connection between the parody and Newgrounds; most flaming that occurs does not happen in a "mild" matter, but a full blown flame-fest, and so the stronger word carried more of the connotation with it.

Thanks for your review!

[Forest of Illusions (ZX Remix)]

Bad Form -- Wrong Mood

Nice idea with the remix of SMW Forest of Illusions. Unfortunately, I don't like it. It loops well, sounds good, but it doesn't give the same feeling the original song did--this is too techno for the forest, and doesn't feel so mysterious.

FullMetalROXAS responds:

I wasn't so fond of this song myself, I guess I just had enough of remixing the same Sonic 2 song... Haha, well feel free to build upon it if you wish, although I don't have the RNS (Reason Project File) anymore.

[Time Dies (v2)]

Nice

Nice song! It's slow, but it's got the emotion to keep me listening. Great music, keep it up!

Black-Cloak-of-Night responds:

Thanks man

[D4 - Keeps on going]

Nice Intro

Random negative thoughts:

The lead is slightly too 8-bit for my taste (for this kind of song).
The claps are too preset-esque. Get new ones or effectize them.
The song is fairly monotonous.
The song fades out too slow.

Random positive thoughts:

The tune is pretty catchy.
The intro is REALLY great--if the song exploded at 25 seconds with a fast crazy cool theme, I would be lovin' it.

So, like I said. Try to not repeat the same tune over and over. The intro was excellent (I might download and cut the intro by itself so I can listen to that cool stuff =p). If you were going to improve this song, make it explode and go off to another world at 25 seconds =p

5/10, 3/5

Deefour responds:

Thanks for that =] nice of yuo to post both ends of your thoughts =]

And i might have a remake of it... :P

Thanks for download to
