CWN's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Following]

..........

The overall mix is pretty awesome, nicely produced. BUT:
The snare is too loud and piercing for my taste.

The screaming was damn cool, but the singing... OMFG
It's SO off! The singing ruined the whole song, not because i don't like singing, it was just OFF! Please take it out! or sing in the right pitch or something... sorry
I'd give it a 10/10, but the singing just won't get out of my head....

cool song though...

[Renegade Angel]

Major clippage....

Dude, the song is cool, but the mix is horrible...
EVERYTHING is clipping :D
Turn the volume down, compress the shiat!
Catchy tune, thought ^^

HellBentGoose responds:

thanks!

[Distant Memories (Tribute)]

I wish...

... i could get the pat on the back, but I have no fucking clue.
The melody doesn't remind of ANYONE... Sounds like an interlude by Nevermore...
Cool stuff.

Devastus responds:

Hmmm, I'm thinking that most likely it would be a lot easier to recognize if I had sung to it. But whatever :P Good that you like.

Thank you for your review.

[Brutal Axe Solo]

Brutal?

Well, doesn't sound brutal to me... It sounds pretty relaxing actually.
Which isn't a bad thing of course.
Nice melody, almost epic hehe
Good job!

JaredW responds:

Thanks dude.
Hahah yeah.. I so stole the word 'brutal' from that cartoon metalocolypse.. hahaha. Any excuse to use it..
Thanks for the generous score dude, but after listening to your work I feel hardly worthy of a 10.

[Guitarandom 1]

Nordic hate.

I dunno, haven't checked your profile out, but you sound a lot like a lot of scandinavian death metal bands i know...
Sweet sound. Cool riffage. Very scandinavian.

Ah i was right, you're from Finland :D
i'm so good.

METAL!

Devastus responds:

Haha, yeah, you got that right :P Awesome that you liked.

Thanks for your review. And METAL!

[Hypnotic 6 Pack Of Beer]

Why don't you...

Just use a regular guitar to play the bassline and then pitch it down an octave?
Most of my songs are made like that lol

Cool song. Nice title. Can't really relate to it, I never buy 6packs... only cases of beer or drums... :D

Freakin 0voters...
3.19 / 5.00 (+ 0.52)

[Condemnatory Joint]

Ultra... slow....

The riffage is ultra slow, not my taste, but ok!
All the instruments sound like they were recorded through a wall or something...
Very blurry.
The voice is nice and clear, but why is it only on one track? Should've centered it.
Also, it sounds like your 'inward' screaming or something... Doesn't sound very convincing.
Don't take this negatively, only trying to help your recording :D

4/5
2.71 / 5.00 (+ 0.49)

risendeath6993 responds:

I know. Guitars are the best I can do with my equipment and note that the drums are recorded through my mixer from a midi software ;) the vocals may sound like they're on one track, 'cause my mike somehow picked the sounds from the left only...Trying to fix that in the next posts. And I'm still working and experimenting with my growls, I'm a little too quiet. I might sound completely different in my future songs.

[AirStrike]

Damn zero voters...

Really catchy guitar riffs...
But there is absolutely no power in the song... This could be running in an elevator.
Put more distortion and punch on your rhythm guitars!
Otherwise, the mix is quite good, no clippings, the drums are also cool... Tip: Don't use so many closed highat hits, it takes a lot of power out of the song!

5/5 anyway!
2.88 / 5.00 (+ 0.28)

Liau responds:

hmm I think you are right about the hi hats :P
it does kinds stifle the style...
as far as distortion goes, I'll have to play arround more with my settings :D
Thank you!

[Death by bear (w/vox)]

Very....

...awesome.
Nice vocals, lyrics are entertaining lol
The vocals are a BIT too loud for my taste...
I just woke up, so maybe my ears are still asleep, but i think i heard some clippings once or twice....
5/5

XxCowMeatxX responds:

thx man... i always enjoy and cherish your review lol.

[Progressive metal demo]

oooooooh......!

Awesome song, the intro is a tad too long for my taste, the drums sound pretty sweet, the guitars sound a little unclear... Gives it all a live feeling... Is this live?
The tip I always give: Record them twice and put one version on a left and the other on the right channel...

aaronmusslewhite responds:

Hey man thanks. Sorry about the intro it was more just for fun than anything. This is live, the guitar mic was shielded by a cable case lol. The song isn't really finished by any means, we just wanted to record what we had, to remember it, and show some people what we were working on. Hopefully we'll get it finished soon. Thanks for the positive criticism :D!
