Irbis's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sequence WIP]

If you wont make it longer in next 48h ill gonne 0-bomb your ass to the other side of Milky Way.
Kapish? Now GO.

Suprising and incredibly rich piece of music. I mean, theres just soo many details all over the place.
My advice, in order to extend the song and make it better: make each "stages" last longer.
The main problem around here is - that you are not letting the listener to "taste" your song. Everything changes too fast and before they even really chewed the bits - the song is already over.
Extend each and every stage. Make them last longer. This way you'll hit two birds with one rock:
1. Extending duration of the song
2. Letting people proparly "taste" every part of the song.
Otherwise its like jizzing into your pants before you could actualy put out your junk.
It just happends to fast and ends prematurly. Leaving you with wet pants and feeling of stolen satisfaction.

Oh and do something creative with the ending.
Slowly dying out in volume and amount of samples is an easy and old solution - i know.
But i also dare to claim that you can do better then that.
Kudos!

Lockyn responds:

First of all, thank you very much for the detailed review, appreciate it!

I'll try my best but I don't work too well with time constraints xD looks like you'll have to get your zero-bombing finger ready T__T

I agree with the extension suggestion and detail stretching. This track has a lot more work to go for it. And agreed with the premature thing LOL.

I have something very different in mind with the ending. Not what you're going to expect, I think! ;)

Again, thanks! cheers buddy ^__^

[-Wind in our sails-]

Hell. Incredibly... visiual piece of audio.
I mean the song totaly tells a story. Even without the background info or the vocal i can totaly see the scene. The audio just describes everything but with sounds.
Yet i wouldnt go with Disney. Its not so sugar-candy-coated.
HAH! I KNOW!
You know what this reminds me?
fucking Monkey Island! :D the whole saga!
Damn, what a revelation!
It has this easy-going, adventurous feeling with a fat wink telling that no one's here serious.
Made for Adventure Game.

[Enteroar - Transfixion]

Hmm. Normaly such a "all-in-one" doesnt work. Mostly because the bits and pieces are just to diffrent and they just refuse to "match".
I dont know how you did it but in this particular case - they match!
Creating a very interesting piece of music. Its so diverse thats to some degree it asks to be called an "audio novel".
This isnt something i would listen as a background though. Its just too crazy and too attention grabing. But hell of a nice clip.
Keep making more.
They are something diffrent... something fresh and new, to the old formula.

Enteroar responds:

Thanks man, That's 100% my goal. I'm so tired of listening to the same sh1tz over and over. Always trying to make fresh stuff xD Thank you for all your comments, agree it's hard to listen to at some points.

[The Long Summer]

reminds me somewhat Mike Oldfield. Especialy the old "Map of the World" album.
And you seriously couldnt get a better praise then this.
I keep listening to this on loop when working.

[Voice Spread]

Woah! What a diversity in voices!
Damn good!
The only thing which i would like to hear is you voice acting diffrent text, not the same phrase.
But then again - maybe this was the point. To show in how many ways you can Voice Act the very same text.
I really hope i will be hearing your voice more and more offten around the portal :)
I mean, come on. We all had enough of Rina-chan. Like she is the only female voice actor lol.
I really hope you'll make your way to the top.

Kudos! :)

[I'm Comic Sans, Asshole.]

Well i cannot rate the actual text as its not yours. So i will try to give some feedback about the rest.

Voice: PRO. Enough said. Perfect and total control over your own voice. you play with it, you make it do all the tricks you want it to do. And going for almost 3 minutes with such control... requaires shit load of skills.

Voice Acting: Also pro, but maybe a bit tendious. I mean i could feel the "anger" and that " "Gangsta from '30s" impressions. And both were great, i just would like to hear more variations in ton. More, hmm, diversity(<--if it makes any sense). Then again, i might be looking for "a hole in the whole" so you can just as good as ignore that.

Bottomline:
Hats down peopl! we got a badass over here! :D

[LoL - Yorick]

I want to have your accent and recording gear.
can i can i? ._.

Seriously: a solid piece of voice acting. With and without the effects.
Professional level.

Hey, why wont you make a audio-novel?
You know, like reading a short story or something, with that bad-ass voice of yours?
Your voice is very narrative (if such a word even exists? o.o). i mean its beggin to make you a narrator of a game or movie intro or in general.

Twisted4000 responds:

Oh thank you, lol, my recording gear is really just a Blue Yeti microphone with a pop filter and I just record in a closet with covers and pillows and crap allover the walls to absorb reverb. My accent? It's an American accent, I guess you could call it, lol. But thanks a lot, I never really thought of making an audio book or anything, it's not really my thing. But again thank you.

And yes, the word "narrative" exists.

[dumb]

would be sooo much better if i actualy hear your voice.
Care to record another one?
I would really like to listen.

jambrother2 responds:

good idea! you know what al get started now, i should be uploading this and a couple of other old ones revisited, im going to try my hand at doing some more grungier ones as well i think

[Run'n'Gun]

Damn!
This reminds me of a game from my childhood.
I just cant remember which one.
Maybe Contra? nah. More like Alien Breed.
Arrrgh its so anoying! >.< why cant i remember?!?
Regardless. Cool tune!
It really brought me back to '90s :)
One and only complain i can think of is it wouldnt hurt to have some sort of ending.
As of now - the tune just cuts into silence. I really wouldnt mind it having some solid punch at the very end. Like you know, a dot at the end of the sentence.
Okey enough of me babbling ^^ 5:5

[Light]

Hey this is soo chearfull! i like it! :D
I actualy see it being played on a danceparty.
And i might even be on that party :D
