Csucskos's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Reboot]

Woot!

[-Orr- Soda Dungeon 2: Sugar Rush]

I love it! My only complaint is that it's quite repetitive. And in a game where it may even loop... But still a banger.

[-Orr- Soda Dungeon 2: Caffeination]

What's this?! A new DavidOrr song! Hmmmmmmmmmm!

(or have I just been out of the loop and something other is your main distributing platform?)

Anyways, this is epic!

DavidOrr responds:

Thanks! I put more things up on Youtube nowadays, and a lot of stuff is under NDA unfortunately, but I'd love to get back to posting what I can here on Newgrounds!

[Prototype [virtual singer]]

I don't really like this "virtual" singing. It sounds really bad. (Live is million times better.) At least the background music is decent. Also, I have to point out, this reminds me of :"Hello World" by Louie Zong. It was also pretty lackluster.

BenTibbetts responds:

Okay, sorry you didn't like it but thanks for the honesty. Just checked out "Hello World". No wonder it bears resemblance--it actually uses the same Virtual Singer software ( https://www.myriad-online.com/en/products/virtualsinger.htm ).

[DJ Ses - No Emotion (Produced By Kenshi Muzik)]

I'm not really into hip-hop, and I think the section before the middle chorus should've been much more chill instrument wise, to make the chorus hit. But all in all, this was nice.

[Fabbemark007-Deep sea]

Pretty OK song though I think the interest curve is not optimal. I mean you're adding instruments in the first half and taking away in the second but the length of the two halves shouldn't be equal. The first half should be much longer. If you had ended the song at 1:35 I wouldn't have missed anything from it. Keep it up tho!

Fabbemark007 responds:

Ok. Thanks 4 your response. And yeah, i also think that it would improve. And btw, I don't really know all those thread things. And by mixing i mean like some sounds are drowning the other sounds.

[Attention To Detail]

Pretty neat but those high pitch ticking are too high for me. (Not pitch wise but they are hurting my ears a little.)
Although I can easily imagine this as a ringtone. Nice work!

BenTibbetts responds:

Interesting. That sound doesn't really bother me. But perhaps in the future I'll refrain from using it this way--in exposed, transparent instrumentation.

[The Winners of the Game]

Awesome. The melody is clear the loop is smooth.
Spectacular. Sorry I can't say more than this is brilliant.
If only we had a college TV station... I would be thankful for a this high quality music.

BenTibbetts responds:

Thanks very much!

[Welcome back]

Really neat... I mean I've heard this... just it had a different title... what was it? Oh I know: Shivering Stars ;)
I've been listening to that piece for about 3 years. This somehow passed my attention when I first listened all of your songs. Now I'm in a phase where I reconsider which songs I like that much that I download them. This can't be one of them unfortunatelly because I hear the Stars everywhere... Same piano and pretty different melodies but I always feel like this song is just a bad copy of that. :( Sorry...
It must be because I've heard that sooo many times. (It is awesome and this one also I just ruined this song for myself.)
Keep up the good work!
P.S.: Hope I can say: Welcome Back!

[Ethereal Elysium]

Overall this is quite good but I don't really like one of the instruments: the one from 0:46. It just hurts my ears.
But the melodies are good, and the variations are nice (except the first few notes at 1:18 they are a little weird).
So great work. Keep it up!

ganink responds:

really? the melody line from 0:46 is my favourite part, maybe it sounds distorted in your speakers... still thanks for the feedback
