MaoDaMighty's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ol'Soul New Tricks]

I like this. A really good mix here. The videogame sfx, orchestra and grungy bass somehow work well together here. The build up is great too. Well done. lack of laziness shows off!

Akaruhime responds:

thank you very much! i've been putting music on hold till I can think of something just as good to make~<3

PS: glad ya liked it!

[No.2 Pencil only please]

Wow. Great atmosphere here. That echoey hollow stick sound, with the vibey synthetics, such an intriguing mix, you made it work! Solid song, from beginning to end, the outro is awesome, simple and effective.

DarkHorseOrchestra responds:

Thanks, I actually saw your news post for "Under The Surface", dope picture.

[I Ate My Dog Out]

This is awesome. Not necessarily this song, but the process of making it; diggin that communal collaborative trip.
Lyrics are funny as fuck. Delivery and flow are on point. Mixing on the NG version seems a bit low (vocal audibility wise) in comparison to the Youtube version.
That beat is fire!

AnalogByNature responds:

thanks for your review; higher quality for physical release. maybe put this vulgarity on some vinyl one day...

[Blå Vardag Hela Veckan]

Awesome beat here! The piano keys are a nice touch on this grimey sound. Ends a bit abruptly, do you plan on extending this one?

Czyszy responds:

Thanks! This beat is mostly a test of some new sound libraries. FYI even though it sounds like it's sampled, it's 100% composed by moi. As for the extension.. hmm.. perhaps. I dunno. Right now I'm taking a break from beats in order to make more prog stuff.

[+Whats on your mind?+]

Lyrics are really good. The audibility was clear and for the most vocals were level with the beat (2nd verse sounded a bit low...) . The hook is great; the mixed in rap adlibs add a nice touch too. I'm not sure about the low pitched dub track though... the consistent dual ranged vocals sound too repetitive. Personally, I prefer hearing them on emphasis words or phrases, rather than on everything... The delivery is decent. I thought the intro verse sounded a bit constrained (but maybe that was intentional because it works to fit the bar content), in the later verses, your flow is much more on point and the delivery sounds more enthused. Lots of tonal fluctuations and stretches; i like it! Beat is pretty dope too, did you make it?

gray1 responds:

yeah made everything. was my first time recording myself got a decent mic. but im vocal eqing isn't there yet. i didn't really know what i was doing. i was very hesitant to add the deep vocal thro the whole thing but you know that feeling i just hated the sound of my own voice. i donno i was going to have a friend of mine zodiax on newgrounds help me out with it when i get a chance to edit it he has a little more experience with recording than i do. i absolutely hate my chorus. the last two verses were free styled. i was making the beat and rapping at the same time lol. i have so many junk wave files

[Bomb Hammer]

diggin this. crazy ass lyricism here! Outro bit was a nice touch.

SucoVidya responds:

Thanks!

[Day 8 Beat 2]

Liking this soothing cool jazzy jubilant nature of this one. A quick fade out at the end might help make these beats end less abruptly, kinda bucks with immersion when looping this many many many times.

Kraftor responds:

Updated!

[Day 3 Beat 1]

Really like that bass, reminds me of earlier Swollen Members type beats. Nice subtle change ups throughout is a nice touch, although, maybe a breakdown bridge section at 3/4 or something might've added a nice variation. Solid beat though, looking forward to hearing your others

Kraftor responds:

Thanks, MickeyMao, will be working on the breakdown and variation on beats.

[Strange Things are Happening]

I think its a long time available instead of mornings. We need it. I have to go to a team of researchers from the university of California at Berkeley and the other can go to a training. What a crazy day. Encore. I'm gonna predict thst and the other can go to a place with less of the packers fans. I think jes going todrop by tomorrow night at comic book land.

I like the lofi sounds here. The process you went thru in creating this sounds very interesting. Very clever approach to sampling here. This one has a very familiar libby shimmz vibe to it: sometimes a libby jam just sounds like the OST to metroidesque zombie apocalypse.

Good job!

Libby-Shimmz responds:

Thanks much for the stream of consciousness werds. Muchas gracias.

[Let it roll - TheUnrealReader]

Really like this. Great mix of rock, blues, souls, bluegrass, country and hip hop. Very eclectic sound here. The transitions are so good! Great work here!

TheUnrealReader responds:

Thx Bro! <3
