pookicker's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[2010 wip wip wip wip wip wip]

Kind of empty

It reminds me of menu music for like a tech demo for a VooDoo card... :34 gets into its most interesting place. I mean thats it, isnt it? Kick, snare, wip horn, pan the filtered high hat, and sweep the static. It's not bad but, it doesn't stand out like you want it to.

LiNaK37 responds:

Thanks for the review, even though my new stuff isn't that great. I really don't know what happened, after I made that Posia Remix WIP thingy it just went downhill from there.

[A Bit Repetitive Pt 2]

OH ahaaaa

No wonder, you wrote that on a review! You hypnotized yourself. Truthfully I am laughing trying to type this out. :D

LiNaK37 responds:

We've got a regular Sherlock Holmes!

[Overtone]

Ritz190 has got it in the description

This one has got juice... The tone of the instruments have a lot of space in between them, they're all distinct. The pacing in the chords is great, too, matched with those stuttering drums. I wish I had the ear to make this myself. Sweet.

demsis responds:

Wow! a ton of reviews from you.
"I wish I had the ear" - nobodies ever said anything like that to me before really. I mean I might have alright ears, but on NG nobody has ever really looked up to me in that way.
Thanks pookicker.

[The Boat song]

Hahaaa Boats! Got it

Its the tone of the flute, or wind instrument. It reminds me of a ship's horn. The tinny sweeps throw in an electronic sea breeze flavor. Everything comes together nicely, especially at 1:36. Real pleasant. :D

demsis responds:

Yeah - It's the Flute.
Thanks for all that... Real pleasant, yeah :)

[Notes in a Bottle]

Good Start

I can imagine some sweeping synths or strings with it. Although, I'd use it with some bass-y percussion. I see the dynamics of velocity were already mentioned... The lowest note could use some disguising, or chords. At :40 you can tell that you can do a lot with it. Good starting platform.

demsis responds:

Yeah, the lowest note is quite a stranger.
True. I also considered updating the song and adding some long string notes in the background. But I'm also not sure if it's Worth It now.

Thanks for your feedback.

[Apes of the Deep]

Swimming

This is delicious gravy in the cans, man. I love all the warm space in my head phones... there is magic all around me... Phasing stereo-phonics is always welcome in my ear holes.

dynamism responds:

always great to get some feedback, glad you liked it!

[turtle(can't think of a title)]

Full sound

I felt like I was strolling through dimly lit, blue and green, digital landscape. Hills roll under my feet with the swells of the bass.

The ending is... interesting.

Are those bass swells samples or something you made?

lakaiskate responds:

they are from synplant

[A Belt Made of Female Nipples]

Holy How

What planet are you from again? Ok, so, Ed Gein... wait, no, what the am I even... The banjo, is it a cut or how did you make it, cuz its fabulo. Then you've got the squeaky carnival chime things, how do make those work ahhh? I think that your sound would have to be unmistakable to happenstance listeners: "What are you listening to? It sounds like NKAT or something." "It is!"

NKAT responds:

Banjo - it is just a *.vst from the Reason program, used with the NN-XT plugin (some may no what I am saying). Carnival sounds and slot machines are under-used in today's mainstream music and media IMO. A friend's 5 y.o. kid could always pick out which song was done by me amongst others. That is the fucking jet man, ya know, with 5 y.o. fans and all that. Making a belt now. Thanks again dude for the fun.

[My Favorite Buffs]

Yeahhh

Thats a cool vocal, near the end too, sounds like you could go on longer if you wanted to, you could... I wouldn't mind. Kal is right, those trumpets are killer. I fell like this would be the music for a the coolest hidden track on Daytona USA, if they had one. Smoove

NKAT responds:

..or maybe a hidden track for 'Tricky SSX' on PS2, that phat snowboarding game. I didn't like this song man, but the *.vst trumpets came out marvelously. My dream is to have more motivation to improve some songs, I know I am onto something, just like you and your weird shit man. Bye and thanks for the review.

[Super Trend]

Kickin

I don't I was expecting this to travel so much, I'm really happy it does! I can't describe the music in a way that it would do it justice but, I can tell you what I see. There's a dude strutting out of a penny arcade in a palm tree laced city. He's got a casual khaki suit on and ray-bans that are kind of pointless because its a dusky summer night. He trots over to his Vespa, hops on, and before he takes off, he makes sure to rev it at the leotard-laden jail-bait. It's Don Johnson, still cool as shit on a Vespa. Actually, there are a lot of better images I get from this but, they would require me to stop typing and enjoy the music... oh, wait, let me do that instead. :D

NKAT responds:

all that + on the boardwalk - nothing, to me, seems more relaxed than driving a scooter off of a boardwalk after some FPS like Aerosmith's arcade game, Generation X (name maybe wrong, I'm so sorry ). Than yo fo th revi.
