Kor-Rune's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Long Way Home]

wat

This is so enchanting, her voice is gorgeous! BlazingDragon did an awesome job on the piano part too, very peaceful. The soundfonts don't sound that bad to me, but I suck at mixing so i dunno for sure, but I like it! I've probably spoiled myself with long tracks, but I wish it were longer. That's probably asking a lot for this kind of quality in two weeks though. FIVE STARS

etherealwinds responds:

That means a lot to me Kor-Rune, you're practically renowned for producing wonderful quality work. I'm so glad that you enjoyed it. I'm blessed to have had Joy and Trevor taking part in this little project. Good luck in Round 2 and thank you for your kind review! :)

[Follow that car!]

I like the volume of the tremolo violins, a little subtle but enough to mystify you a bit. :] then again I kinda suck at listening for volume. I love groove and the sax, gets me jazzed.

Keep dat tempo, yyeaah 5/5

acmeDyne responds:

Glad you liked it :) TY
'Dreamyard' is awesome, btw!
*highfives*

[Supercollide]

LOL you win. This is bonkers I love it. Dat piano's attitude.. and fat jazz harmony melodies, a mega funky bassman... The change at 2:30 is gorgeous, horn solo is ripping it. Piano solo destroys too omg. What a crazy rhythm to drum solo over, dang.

Everything's perfect omg 5/5.

camoshark responds:

Thank you so much, man, you know I hold your opinion in high regards!

[Blind Maiden]

Beautiful voice! Great control, and the song is gorgeous. The dynamics are gorgeous. I think they could use some sort of lower end cut in the EQ, I can really feel the mid-bass in your voice and it just feels weird in the subwoofer.

I don't know how people think there's autotune on. You have a very organic sounding control that autotune cannot replicate. Love it.

etherealwinds responds:

What a kind review, thank you! When it comes to mixing, I have a choice of a £3 pair of headphones or my laptop speakers, so getting the EQ right can be quite troublesome without having professional equipment. I'm sure many people on here must know what I mean. Really appreciated, thank you again!

[FD - Plaenitude]

Beautiful soundscapes, everything sounds so lifelike and peaceful. The atmosphere is golden.

The breathy instruments speak so beautifully. I like the initial guitar, it's subtle and adds pace. Didn't expect the metal, woah. It's a little straightforward, the straight sixteenth or eighth notes are cool and all but it gets a little repetitive. I think you could do a few more more dynamic changes after the metal comes in initially, as well. The soundscape is cool throughout though! Keep dat up

ForgottenDawn responds:

I agree with the repetitiveness, though that may still be subjective and there are subtle changes throughout the song. Thank you for your insight, good luck with the contest.

[GM - I'm coming 4 u (NGADM13)]

Solid fucking track dammit gah

Love the solos and the production. The main chord progression is mildly stock, but I don't care the riffage makes up for it. it's all beautiful. 5/5

InYourDreams responds:

Thanks, dude!! U did an awesome song aswell... I happy I'm not against you on this round :P

Yeah I was lazy at composing xD...I did the drums first and some riffing, but then I was completly uninspired. It turned out better than I expected :P... I invested more time in the mixing than in the composing itself.

[[NGADM]Variable]

Oh this is gorgeous. The composition is great, but like samulis said, the instrument sounds are a little weak. But I understand low cash, and you seem to make the most of them! So I'm only docking half a star.

Badass solos all around, and the melodies connect so great. stayjazz

Nimble responds:

Yeah, I won't be able to get any good stuff for about another half year and I do plan to re-visit some of these pieces, but I do try my hardest to use the stuff i have to it's full potential.

Thanks for the review man, it means a lot :)
