Draith-Vicious's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[[oove] Requiem]

Amazing Idea

If I was better at making music I would try to do something along this style but you seem to be getting it down pretty good for it being your first attempt.

broove responds:

Thanks, man. I believe that the idea is not new, it's just not popular.

[-= Core Concept =-]

Great work man

Got some pretty nice grungy and gritty sounds going. Keep running with this and you could go places man.

TheBiocide responds:

Thanks a lot man, I sure hope so! :)

[System Split - F-777]

Loving the new sound

I really think you should do more songs using this particular sound or style. It would be really awesome if you found a way to put in some Synth Vocals.

F-777 responds:

Hey thanks!! I will try vocal stuff soon =). I will experiment more
with this style as well.

Thanks so much for the review!

[10 - Lockjaws Area [DKC2]]

One of my favorites

This is probably one of my favorite songs from the Donkey Kong games and I gotta say I really like your version of it allot.

UnrealReno responds:

Cheers!

[12 - Miners Melody [DKC2]]

I'm really diggin this whole album.

you guys might not be pros but if you keep this shit up your certainly heading in that direction. I've actually done a couple classical style Donkey Kong Remixes myself and if you would be interested I would love to work on a song or two with you guys sometime. Send me a message if you would be interested.

UnrealReno responds:

I like your Lockjaw Darkwater Remix, it's awesome

[Carol of the Bells X-mas]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

AMAZING! What program do you use for percussion? Or for any of this really? I must know. I've been doing classical covers of things lately and I even posted a cover of Carol of the Bells here on newgrounds and I thought mine was good until I hear this now I listen to mine and I'm like "What a fucking pile of garbage" why did I even waste my life making that. Also I tried your link because I was going to add you on facebook but it didn't work for me.

Gravey responds:

I use a lot of sample libraries for my percussion. Most of my audio is produced using EastWest products though. So I recommend checking out their website if you are interested in good sample libraries.

Glad you enjoyed the tune.

[Very addictive loop]

I mean for a 9 second loop it's pretty sweet.

My main question is what program did you use to make this and what VST plugin if any? The reason I ask is because I use FL Studio myself and I've been messing around trying to make orchestra versions of old school video game midi files and I really like the sound quality of the noises that you are using in this loop.

btriangle responds:

Hey Draith. To create the sounds you are hearing, i have been using EWQL Symphonic Orchestra which you can purchase at Soundsonline.com.

[Still Blastin']

DAMN!...

First off let me just say that I'm a huge fan of Megaman and the music in those games so you had me at 0:09 when you hear that noise that's played in the game after defeating a boss. Mixing those retro noises with the modern progression is fucking epic. I've never really hear this done before in any other song besides that song "8-bit" on "Dance Dance Revolution" but I gotta say you did allot better with it. I really hope you decide to do some more music in this style. I'd really like to hear a song done in this style but with Donkey Kong music in it.

NemesisTheory responds:

Hey that's awesome! I actually really liked 8bit on DDR as well!! <33

I'm happy you enjoyed the song, and I'm not too sure I could do the DK music justice, but who knows! :D Those series has got some amazing (remixable) music as well. :D

Thanks for the review!

[Spiegel der Vergangenheit]

Nice and relaxing.

This is going on my relaxing playlist. I almost prefer listening to this one with the bass turned all the way down.

Semaphore responds:

yeah the high frequenz is nice =D

thank you very much Draith-Vicious
