Belthagor's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[test upload/new mic]

It looks great! How much did the entire package cost? Pop filter, microphone, and that box with reverb and other settings.

DrSevenSeizeMD responds:

Between $300-$400 for everything I think.
I bought all 3 separately.

[TOM FULP BIRTHDAY SPECIAL]

Marilyn Monroe had better watch herself... she's got some competition. xD

(I am sorry for this review, I thought it would be funny.)

poptaffy responds:

demisurge please be nice

[BACKWOODS 3 OST- Just Noise]

It's too dissonant in many places. I get what you were going for though. It definitely wakes you up a bit, by being fast paced. It's a bit panicky in certain areas. The volume level is okay, you could experiment with more volume changes, pan left and right a bit, maybe a few instruments one direction and the rest the other. Experiment and see what works for you. Obviously I am no professional musician so everything I say can be taken with a grain of salt in these reviews. I hope I was able to give good advice. I'm going to vote 5 based on the genre, because I feel the music is fitting to the genre that you have chosen.

TURBOSALT responds:

Im not a professional either, I just love what I do. it's definitely made for the game it's supposed to be in, thank you. : )

[Violins]

Someone Frontpage this! 5/5

GameBoyFireworks responds:

Thanks Belthagor!

It's really well made and I like that you sing in french. It's a very nice language, the highlight of the track for sure. Has a modern disco feel to it. The lyrics are well thought out. The vsts you used have a professional quality sound. It has a nice flow. Could use a bit of reverb on the vocals. Overall a great composition, 5/5 -R4R

yunqatsi responds:

Thanks for the review!! Ye the vocals are a bit of a mess, I literally recorded the French part with cheap Marley earphones, don’t have much material x)

[I'm a Simp For You by The Simpletons]

This is hilarious. I like this.

VoicesByCorey responds:

We like this too...and the ladies 😏

[Silhouettes]

I like it. It's tall, dark, and handsome, and describes the subject matter well. Volume level is okay. I think it could use a bit more tempo changes though. Larger variations for dramatic effect. I like the effects at 2:40+ so you could experiment with that. A digital sound that sounds like a new playable instrument. I'm not sure if that helps inspire you though. What did you use to make this?

5/5 -R4R

TheRealFool responds:

Thanks for the review, glad to hear you liked it! I used Ableton 10 and mostly used echos and delays, pretty sure the effect you're talking about was an echo on the melody synth.

[Hydrogen]

I've never used garageband, nor am I a pro at basslines but this is a pretty chill song. I like fl studio for jotting down my ideas. The free version no longer has an annoying popup that says part of the song will be silent because it's free. You can even save songs in it. More instruments -please use them. A cheap way, and you'll probably learn this in music theory, to add an instrument would be to start with a chord progression which is made of just chords, no single notes in part of your song. Then overlap a single note in each of the chords with the next instrument vst you'd like to use, creating an overlapping but matching melody. If you use the same chord twice in a row in background from the previous instrument, try not to pick the same exact note in both chords with the next one. Idk if I explained this well but hopefully you could think up something from it. Changes in tempo/volume would be good. Most of the song is around the same tempo. If you use fl I can show you how to make an automation clip for tempo in a song. A little bit of reverb would be good as well. Google it. Good work 4.5/5 stars.

Spi0 responds:

Thanks man! I definitely could have done more with this but I didn’t want to put much more time in it, although looking back I definitely should have. At the moment making music is a bit of a pastime although I would like to develop my style and technique much more. Thanks again for the feedback!

[Genesis]

Well made composition. Bright and cheerful. Lovely hints of old dos game tracks and celtic inspiration as the previous comment said. I like the ending the most, and I look forward to playing the game when it's out. :D The retro games usually have a melodic line with mildly annoying sounds in it though, but the tracks are well made so you don't really notice it. See: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4H5M5FAGq0c I think I will vote... 5/5.

wobwobrob responds:

That Space Bats soundtrack is craaaaazy!

[Some Baroque Stuff Going on Here]

Good track but a bit too much repetition. 4.5/5

MajorMusic responds:

It's a Hymn so it repeats twice.
