The-Mercenary's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Apocalyptic Paradise]

This is pretty badass, it kind of reminds me of Cadacross or Old Eternal Tears of Sorrow. The drums sound really fake though (I think they are too compressed or maybe its the way you mastered the song, idk.)

Twistedsanta responds:

Thanks, dude! And that's probably because they are fake haha xD If you're familiar with electronic drum kits and VST kits you'll probably recognize them regardless of how well you mix or master the song. I've noticed that myself.

[Duel With the Wind Keeper]

This is pretty good, the only thing I would suggest is turning up some of the lower frequencies cause some of the bass drums seems to lack power but otherwise it's very well composed. Also, I sent you a PM a while back regarding VO's and I never heard back, I'm not sure if you just forgot to reply or if you're not interested in doing the VO.

headphoamz responds:

Hey! Yep, still interested. Thanks for the feedback ^_^

[By bird]

Can you voice act and sing in english?

MsHearty responds:

Yep, but I'll need some tryouts and rehearsals. And what kind of voice acting you want to offer?
English is not my native language, so, there will be some Russian-like accent, if you won't be shy :)

[Character Voice Reel 2013]

I like the tone of your voice, can you sing by any chance? I'm looking for a voice actress but I need someone who can also sing as well.

headphoamz responds:

Thank you! I'm a decent singer! If you'd like, you can listen to a song I wrote and sang, Ascension, which is also on my NG page. :)

[Metallica - Unforgiven 4]

Awesome!

The song is awesome, I think the vocals need a bit of work, the singer sounds a lot like james on the softer parts, but when it gets heavy his voice kinda starts to sound a bit off, he needs to sound more pissed off and harmonize a little better and this'll be perfect. I love everything else!

[ComTune]

lmao

my bro would love this song, I'm more into metal, but I appreciate all types of music, and I actually think this sounds pretty cool. I'm not a fan of Auto Tune, but I think it actually works nicely here, though IMO it would be better if you raised it up by a 3rd or 5th. It reminds of Blue for some reason.

[Master of Accordions]

funny

this is pretty hilarious!

Schleif responds:

why thank you, kind sir - keep rocking \m/

[Mercenary.]

Not bad

Lol, I (ME) am the mercenary, as my user name suggests! I like the instruments, the vocals arn't bad, but they need to be better, you don't harmonize most of the time, or at least the harmonies sound weird, I know its mostly screaming than singing in this, but do try something else, or at least scream with a little more power behind your voice. And as someone else said earlier, real guitars would be a plus.

Schleif responds:

yep, obviously. but i currently don't have much of a choice, unfortunately. thanks for checking \m/

[Requiem for a Dream a]

needs work

I like the original, but you need to slow it down and add better instruments...and make it longer so it actually gets to the main part. Me and my band do a heavy metal cover of this as a warm up exercise and its fun to play. Keep working on it, maybe add some heavier percussion and it'll be awesome.

[Strangled - Through the m]

Perfect

I don't think I can suggest anything that'll make this better per say, it reminds me of a piece from Star Ocean 3. This seems to have the right mix of instruments and chords to make it interesting while giving it the mood you desired.

Calamaistr responds:

thanks, its only to get better as the storyline continues trust me. (some themes will return)
