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. :)

[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/

[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)

[Strangled - Beholder bunn]

Better Flow

this one had a better flow, and seemed to accomplish what you set out to do better than the "Deep in the woods." I still think you can add more instruments and give this more depth. Its good, but it feels empty.

Calamaistr responds:

The deeper woods is pretty much to set a tone, this album isnt really made as individual 'tracks. Its all atmospheric and every track contains atleast something of the other wether it be the instruments, a melody or the tone. :) Hope this helps.

Thanks for the review mate.

[Strangled - the deeper wo]

Its alright...but

The chord progression changes too fast at the beginning, and it doesnt sound quiet right. Either change the last chord, or invert it or something to get it to flow better, or add a more contrasting melody to make it flow better. It got more interesting in the second half, but the intro/first half needs to change.

Calamaistr responds:

no it doesnt.

[CT - Frog's Theme]

This is awesome

definitely one badass song. good job

CandySoup responds:

Badass review there man!
