Kor-Rune's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Metal Improvisation]

Yuck D:

The rhythm is boring and repetitive, and the lead guitar is horribly out of key and sounds like noise throughout the whole thing. The bass has a neat pattern going, and the drums are just as repetitive as the guitar. But it's 43 seconds long, so that's not really long enough to get on someone's nerves. In a general point of reference to the track length though, it's repetitive.

I like the sound of the bass and the drums, though.

Just a bit more composition and/or theory practice is all.

Homosecksual responds:

mkay

[Metal Killer]

Pretty sweet.

Pretty good composition, the rhythms could be a little more unique though, it's all quite typical of metal.

I just don't like the stale sounds and the weakness of the synth guitar sounds, and the bass could be a little more interesting.

jor182 responds:

I agree, the sound sucks, haha, but i dont have the resources to record my guitar... yet :p... thanks for reviewing!

[Cayur - edreeROPe]

Tasty time signatures

This has some sweet chord progressions and a catchy rhythm to it, all while jumping time signatures. Love the track.

sculpted-cold responds:

Word! I might add vocals to this pretty soon...dunno' yet. No comments on the drums :P? I spent the most time on them, hehe.

Thanks for the review, sir!

[Gray Guitar V.2]

This is a great composition

But for really great quality, you don't want clipping. I like the structure and the tone of this a lot though.

This is awesome, a bit of timing cleanups and lose the clipping and this would be a great piece. I love it, just not how it's presented.

MonkeyV responds:

Thank you for the review.
I don't like the clipping either, so i'll try to fix that.

[Orchestra of Emotion]

Odd..

The bells near the beginning sound out of tune, and in general, it sounds very synthesized, rather than the warm midtone feeling of an orchestra.

The piano should have some serious reverb to match the feeling of the background pads and what not. It could also use a way stronger set of chords that really moves the listener.

The delay synth at the end had a creepy touch to it that could work if this song progresses across a longer timespan than just a minute. More reverb and letting the track instruments work together.

Staxitix responds:

I agree with the bells, I debated for a long time to keep them in there at all. However I think the pads all flow into each other fine :P

[Finding Light in Darkness]

Not really heavy metal

Just because there is distorted guitars involved, that doesn't necessarily mean metal, but still, awesome track!

It's well composed and has a great melody, but your guitar sounds slightly out of tune. The harmonies just sound a little off, at least so says my sense of relative pitch. But the composition is excellent!

BuryYourFace responds:

yes I always try to be off a bit to give it more of a trashy feel to it. It just feels more like me and what I like. Yes 5th string I keep sharper than the 4th. I have my reasons ;)

[BackingTrackfromhell-Mj]

Oh my

This is lovely! A very shreddable track methinks, I'm getting right on it.

seriously awesome work.

Metaljonus responds:

thanks! get to work!

[Guitar Challenge-Funk Backing]

Awesome!

I like the diverse percussion and the key change and wow, I'll have to get to work on this one soon!

Good job again dude, another sweet track!

sorohanro responds:

thanx
glad you like it, hope you'll get your solo soon on it ;)

[Arpeggio Study no 2-MJ]

Holy crap

Freakin' incredible shredding as usual, ridiculous fretwork! I don't know how you do it.

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks man...the way I do it is uh..... black magic

[Arpegio Study no2-classical]

I like the atmosphere

That soft clean/distorted-like tone is very soothing to the ears. Lovely work here!

sorohanro responds:

thanx
at least one like my guitar tone :)
