Carcase's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[D_DEAD from DOOM 2 (re-done)]

hmm

well you made a remake of doom and I salute you for that. I thought the beat sounded a little constipated. yes, constipated. You can seriously soup this song up if you give it more of a chill beat. It sounded like it was having trouble with itself. but being as how this is heavy metal i guess thats not very reasonable. in which case, i have no idea what i should rate this...

but its still good none the less. I think you could have made it longer.

speedmetalmessiah responds:

Thanks for the review man.The damn bass drums aren't coming through the mix well.As far as the length I didn't want to change it very much so I just played it through once.Once again thanks.

Oh and rate it 5/5...(just kidding)

[thermal reflex]

nifty

the beat is pretty cool, if you used the usual drum'n'bass type drums and less electronik drums you might have a really good beat going. At least this one doesn't have the bass instrument that 90% of all dnbs use. that made it good automatically. I liked it, but it definately could be a lot better if you tweak around with the drums a little bit longer.

thanks a lot tell ur friends

[.:xblanksterx:. Crystal Queen]

NOICE!

I demand a full song created from this loop! its calm and under control. Just listening to it i can hear several melodies add on to it such as strings and guitars. It sucks that someone gave you a zero on this. I have some fans who give me 5's, then i have some Antifans who give me zeros. Its annoying. Keep up the good work!

xBlanksterx responds:

Hey man!

Thanks for the revive. Yea, I've been thinking about making some song from this loop, because myself I the melody/strings/bass/drums are pretty candy for ears.

Only thing that makes me disappointed is that I did actually release this bit too early. The mastering isn't complete (the bass is bit too loud and the balance isn't perfect). And I havn't still realised if it's possible to delete/update these songs that have been posted.

Glad you still liked it ^_^

[Generic Boss Loop]

Cool

Ever play castlevania? This has a nice flow, and a nice rythm to it. Its pretty good. The main thing most of the music artists on newgrounds need to do is make better quality music and sounds. By this i mean instruments and things that would trick me into thinking it was an actual symphony playing, as a pose to atari. But i can't quite fault you on this if this is a video game song for flash. Keep up the good work.

Grumbleduke responds:

No I haven't played Castlevania; am I missing out?

I see your point with sound quality. However, very few people actually have setups with the capability of producing "real" sounds, as the equipment for it is surprisingly expensive, and short of recording a real orchestra, there's little that can be done. Guess we will just have to stick with our sequencing packages :).

[Over the limits]

nice

This song is pretty cool. I'd say it fits more into the ambience category than a hope of joy. The very end was way cool, and so were the pads around the middle. The only thing I don't like about these two songs is how they hop from style to style. One other thing you might want to try is to add a couple more instrumentals playing at the same time to fill up the sound. If you had an entire song made with that layed back beat in the end, that would be pretty cool. These two songs have a lot of potential, keep up the good work!

UnknownSoso responds:

I sure will try to add what you say! Thanks dude :).

[Over The Mountains]

good, but could be better

This song can take you places, not something many other artists here can do. I Like The strings and the beat works well with it. The only thing that came to my mind was the instruments used. The only thing i thought didn't work well was the choice of instruments, though the bass sounded pretty nice, it would have sounded much better if they were a little easier to listen to (its good when you can turn it up loud and it doesn't split your ears). Otherwise, good job, keep it up.

Rucklo responds:

Mayebe I should have left the song 100% chilled out, u might be right there. But on the otherhand, the "chilled out" parts wouldn´t have sounded that chilled without "counterpart", if u know what I mean... I think I´m gonna try making a 100% chilled out song after this, and choose my instrument more carefully.
Thanx alot for a rich review!!

Summary Goes Here

Not bad, it sounds like you're using basic sample files from your music program though. You have a lot of music, and a lot of it could definately use a facelift. If you could, try to get some better drums or something. You did a pretty good job on a lot of it, and i'll listen to more of your music.

Fadeliss responds:

Hey thanks! I am working on about 62 more song's and as you can tell each song gets better... yes 62.. that's not a typo :P

[Oreo Phantom]

good job

its pretty good, i think you should change one of the kicks to one with a little more treble in it, it might get the beat to be a little more comprehensible

Glowfro responds:

Hey man I thank you for your review. I'm really sorry for taking such along time to respond to this review. I'll take your advise into consideration. If you liked this clip of a song you'll like my newest song "Prisioners Without Chains".

[FAN - Ufopia]

yeah

i know transitions are cool and all, but you can't have them take that long or else we might think our computer is screwed up or something. It would have been better if you kept the song moving.

Fanta5t1c responds:

yea man, but yah kno, i have to make it all smll and short cause of the 4000 kb limit, my songs are usually 10 mins long, these are all shortended
