darthmarus's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[HS]Melody]

seriously nice

pretty sweet. it sort of loses energy at around 2:09 and it takes alittle too long for my tastes to regain it.
it has a lot of energy, i like it. :)

for literal, direct, helpful advice,, i think that adding a 1% pitch randomizer to that generic snare, and all the samplers really, would do wonders (piano roll>tools>randomizer) uncheck pattern and check levels, then drag "pitch" the tiniest fraction up. it adds a lubtle variation that makes the whole thing sound more real.

(btw, if you alreay know how to use the randomizer sorry for being patronizing but better that than leaving someone saying "how the hell do i do that?" lol)

Thank you for your lenghty review, darthmarus!
I will give it a try.

[-API- Paradise on E [REMIX]]

better than sandstorm.... idk that was possible.

this deserves much better than ten, but i am only going to say infinity-1 out of ten rather than infinity.

this is by far ther best dance song i have ever heard. but it is only 2 mins long. that is a major problem. i would kill for a 4 to 7 minute version.

i am seriously going to have to looka t your other stuff.

[{dj-N} Orchestral Angels 2]

sweetness

i think that's a recording. anyway, this is just incredible!

i might use this in a party i am doing the music for in a month. :)

[~EnV~So Far Away (Ng Cut)]

like the song.

i really like this... it (like everything besides "come home") doesn't come close to heaven Rd 2 (my fav song ever)

but this is still great. i have nowhere near this skill.

...btw this song is dedicated to your GF.... and your profile says ur a Girl. whatever! if being gay makes your music so awesome, maybe i should try it. XD

[The Contender]

nice

the whole song is just... great.

well, a bit too much swearing for my taste. but still good.

giftedbuttwisted responds:

Thanks! And yeah after listening to it I realized I said 'shit' way too many times lol

[IndyJones&RaidersoftheLostRock]

erm.

um... i could do this in 5 mins with FL slayer, and it is pretty obvious that that's what you did. i happen to have on my har drive the midi that this song matches. you didn't even change the tempo, man.

[Stupid Mario Brothers Theme]

lol...

you guys should just do nothing but mario stuff cuz every time you do something involving mario it turns out fantastic. btw the singing in this song is much better than your others......

giftedbuttwisted responds:

Haha nahh, people like our other songs too XP

[Obladi Oblada (Punk/ska Cover)]

i can't even say i can listen to more than 5 secs.

i love the opening, before the vocals. but one the vocals come in, i feel like you are insulting the beatles. i'm not trying to be mean here, but the ska/punk singing style does not work with this song. it jsut sounds like you are mocking them.

i can tell from reading the description that
1- you actually love the beatles and
2- i am kind of being an insensitive jerk
but this song is very special to me too and i feel like you ruined it....

giftedbuttwisted responds:

Thanks for you honest criticism, I do appreciate it

[Kraid RemiX]

um....nice but terrible...SOUNDING.

i am a real hypocrate for saying this, but the clipping (the sound is too loud and makes the waveform flat) is jsut terrible. the entire thing would have turned out better if you had just turned down a couple instruments. i am actuallyy creating a bunch of CDs for a rave list, and if it wasn't for that this would have been on it.

[Super Metroid- Maridia]

um.

yeah... it is indeed maridia. but the sligtly squarish lead jsut gets too shrill. this is too fast and stuff to be a VG mix in the "VG" catagory in my opinion. it is more techno. this wouldn't fit the origional underwater area it was from.

...and dude below me, it is one of your faves and you only gave it a 9?
