Matakor's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dexterity..]

I like. Interesting little bit.

@Shinrai- Man am I tired of hearing "it's all about the bpm". Fuck the beats per damn minute. (excuse my french) It's about the style, damnit. It has nothing to do with the bpm.

Sorry for my rant, but it had to be done.

Sounds to me like its another song I can get in to. Who cares about the genre?

[Broaden Your Sound]

Definitely a step up!

The only thing I have an issue with (because of my oversensitive ears) Is that it's extremely treb-based. It's almost as if it's missing bass period.

And I still think that last part should be another song entirely.

mr-jazzman responds:

Hey man, thanks for the review! Yeah, I haven't even messed with this song much since formulating it lol. I've developed some new mastering techniques, so hopefully in my next metal-based project (metal-based dubstep, if you can imagine such a thing! =P) I'll iron out some of these things. That bass was a BITCH to deal with, I'm gonna say that off the bat. It would always sound too muddy, or too soft. It turns out to be both in this mix, in my opinion. XP Yeah, the fade-out was just a quick conclusion for the NGADM contest; in my future projects, don't expect something so abrupt lol!

[Turbulence (Demo Version #1)]

This is a demo?

If this is a demo, then I can't even imagine how good the real one would be. Kudos, this song is awesome.

Xayro responds:

Demo in the sense that it isn't professionally mastered/mixed and lacking vocals, and things are still subjected to change. When I say demo, I usually don't mean "THIS IS TERRIBLE". It's usually just a disclaimer that things can and probably will change, whether its a little or a lot.

Vocals are planned for this track.

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[Nightfall]

Damn...

It is good! What's bugging me is this:

12,915 listens
15,823 downloads

How's this even possible?!

[NGHardstyleRe-MixCollectionPt1]

DAMN!!

Impressive!! You pulled this off nicely! I got a mix for you to try tho...Heaven Road 2 by Envy, and Euphoric Ecstacy by Meonly70. That would be epic! Try it! I dare u.

[Closure WIP >Baconstep<]

0.o

Woh. It's like a mix between ambient, DnB, trance, and acid. That was...different. Totally unexpected. I'm still trying to wrap my head around whether I like it or not, but this was damn good!

mr-jazzman responds:

Haha thanks! This was actually the experimental predecessor to Reflections. In all of my dubstep WIPs up until Reflections, I was working on getting a perfect dubstep bass. As you can tell, I didn't quite hit the money, but it's still pretty damn close lol. Thanks for the review man, glad you appreciated all the genre discombobulation lol! ;)

[Image >Unmastered<]

Damn!

Personally, I'm loving this version! Old or not, it's giving me the feel of good classic metal/rock. Damn good. If you ever make more, be sure you'll have at least one fan who'll love it.

Wow. Just got to the acoustic end...sounds to me like another song entirely. It's good standing alone. Keep it and make another song using it maybe? Anywho, still great!

-Makio

mr-jazzman responds:

Thanks man, glad you like this version as well! It does have a classic rock feel to it, doesn't it? The thing I'm gonna try to do in future songs is bring out them drums. I think I've finally figured out a few new mastering & EQing techniques, but we'll see. I'm glad you at least enjoyed this one man! =)

[[Mindphase2] Seeking the Oasis]

Drew me in...

I nearly went into a trance...each piece of the music brought different images to mind. If anything, it makes me think of a safe haven...I've forgotten about past hauntings, and now I live in peace by a small river, three willows grow by it. My cottage, built upstream just enough to see the willows, looks far downstream. I sit in a hammock, waiting...just waiting for a visitor to drop by and spend some time, talking or enjoying the view.

Kudos to you, sir. This song lifted my spirits and granted me a goal for my life. Thank you much.

floccari responds:

You seem to have found the Oasis! That's what I was kind of going for in the title. That place is different for everyone, but it's nice to hear that the music can bring that to others as well. Thanks for the review!

[City in Motion]

Fantastic...

I love the tune. An easy song to fall in to. I love the eerie, archaic feel you've given to it. A grand song. Kudos to you.

[[WS] Ends of the Earth]

Absolutely agree.

Definitely a 10. And well suited for an end of time experience. Kudos to you, artist.

floccari responds:

Thanks!
