SirHadoken's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[00]

I wasn't expecting this to be on Newgrounds! :o
Well, after Mashdown, I already had proof that you would be amazing at mashing songs up, and so when you did this, I was certainly not let down! I can't express how much I adore this. <3

garlagan responds:

SirHadoken! yeah it finally is on ng. sorry for taking so long and thank you!

At the 2:00 mark when all of the instruments are going, it's not bad. It sounds like a genuine song, even though the sound production and mastering could use improvement, as with any song. The melodies and harmonies are proficient in the sense that they stay changing and varying, but the parts of the song in which only the main instrument is playing is a bit rough on the ears. I'm even unsure as to how to fill a part with just one instrument, though some people actually do it. I'd recommend adding Reverb (Fruity Reeverb 2 if you're using FL would suffice) to make it sound less grated and more smooth and filling.
Overall, you're improving.
Also, bloody hell, 240 BPM! 0_0

TheFantasticZ responds:

Thx for the feedback and yep, I always use 240 BPM, btw I sent you a few messages on gd :P

[Paper Skies & Vast - Drift Away (Koraii Remix) [2nd Place]]

How are you so damn good at this?
I hadn't noticed you changed your name, which threw me for a loop for a bit (I liked Karaplex a lot better, but your name is your decision) but I'm glad I noticed so I could visit your new tracks again. As I expected, and as they always have been, they're beautiful on every level, and I wouldn't be surprised at all if you soared to unimaginable heights <3

KORAII responds:

thanks for the kind words mate <3

[Mech Attack]

Well I'm not entirely sure what happened..
It's definitely distorted, that's for sure.. I just don't think it's.. "the right sound.."
I feel like it was made extremely dissonant on purpose, and if that's the case, you nailed it, but I'm still rating it low because it's literally painful to listen to. The melodies behind it actually sound alright, so I'm sure you could probably find something that works extremely well for you if you explored other genres.
Particularly not this genre.

Kryomax responds:

Thank you for the constructive criticism, I really appreciate it. The song is definitely not for everyone and is made more for those that enjoy industrial noise and high pitch tones. I'm sure you'll probably enjoy my other tracks a bit more, and perhaps even my newer ones once I'm finished working on a small E.P. and I find the time to post it.

[House Of Force]

The melodies are a little bit striking.. The drums are a bit too loud in more ways than one, and there really isn't a drop after that big and loud buildup. It's an interesting piece, sure, but the mixing and mastering are really out-of-place. It's not repetitive, you got that, but I'd work on mixing and mastering, fixing the cadences of your endings, and adding more tracks to balance out your melodies with some bass. I can tell you're beginning at this, and that's perfectly fine. We all have to start somewhere. Keep working at it :)

TheFantasticZ responds:

Thx for listening and for feedback, I'm hoping to fl studio someday, since currently I use lmms.

[Get Festive]

You don't get enough reviews.
I love your music, and I always have, and you probably already know what I'm going to say. The sound production and quality are phenomenal, the melodies are phenomenal, everything is phenomenal.
Hopefully this brings up your star amount a little bit, as you really do deserve higher stars on your music.
With love,
~SirHadoken

MrKoolTrix responds:

Thanks, buddy. :)

[Zyzyx - Reinforced]

You have a good voice for this kind of thing :o
Well done on this, it's really well made. Your skill as a musician has been exponentially improving these past few months. <3
(This is a re-post of what I said on YouTube, but I wanted to post it here too)

DJ-Zyzyx responds:

lol xD well thanks AGAIN!!

[Soft Piano]

This is recorded?!
I'm impressed. The ending could've been a bit more final, but other than that, you did a really nice job on this. ;)

vidu3k333 responds:

thx, and yes this is recorded (the struggles to buy a high quality mic is real)
