Doomcaster's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Laughterhouse]

The bass in this just slaps! Love tonal balance here with the low and high frequencies. The bells, xylophone (?), and piano sound so crisp. The little sparkly/bubbly bits, and the brass instruments are a really good filler here. It adds some good detail to the mix!

The mix of synths, haunting melodies, and the killer bassline and drums just have a dynamic punch to them! It's such a playful tune! Feels like the bad guys just showed up to put the good guys in their place, in a non-violent "this is our turf, come back when you can take it" kinda vibe.

Really nice work here!

Razex responds:

Thanks for the review, I'm glad you enjoyed it!

Man, this is just so well done!

The clean but crunchy guitar has some nice lower heft to it, and the higher notes that swell in the background have some really good reverb. Really adds a sense of depth and width.

The drums are deep and strong, but respectfully allow the vocals to sit in the center stage. The cymbals are nice and wide in the soundstage too. The overall beat here really works well to drive the rest of the instruments forward!

The vocals are nice and close, more on the intimate side so it's very easy to understand. Slightly warmer in tone, so it blends really nicely with the lower drums and higher guitar. Nice balance here. I enjoy the double layered background vocals that start at 00:33 and progressively get deeper as it ends at 01:08. It's subtle, but it really feels like the voice in the back of my head is reinforcing what the lyrics are saying, to give it that little extra bit of a kick.

I think you guys nailed it! The overall mastering and layering sounds very professional, to my ears at least. A very full sound, but not noisy or messy. Just a pleasant listen all the way through

Thank you so much! I'm really happy you enjoyed it and I appreciate all the detailed feedback!

This is great! A nice and fun tune with a happy, carefree atmosphere. Feels like a summer day resting in the shade under a tree, near an energy-filled town.

The positioning of the sounds and the balancing of the instruments are really good!

Marifax responds:

Thank you! That's a very nice interpretation
