VicariousE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Origami Heart]

Everything's nice and clear, but yeah, I'm sure you'll find a way to bring the vocals forward a bit, so the lyrics are more clear, though in this (allegedly) unmastered state, it sounds marvelous and natural, easy on the ears.

ADR3-N responds:

One of these days I will sit down and master the art of Vocaloid. I admit it's way harder in English than Jap. The consonants and vowels are much more sonically complex. Getting there though!

[I'ma Shit My Pants Tonight]

Well, this sure made my Christmas Eve evening complete, great vocals and mixing, nice treat!

Father-of-Death responds:

THANKS DUDE!!!! <3 <3 <3

[Bloominglove]

I suppose there were 1 or 2 places where your enunciation could've been better, but on the whole, quite personable sounding!

Wondermeow responds:

Thanks for your feedback noted

[Luxuriously]

Very nice, short buzz clip, but I think you mastered the volume a bit too high, seems to crash out a bit too much, as do the vocals.

VaLkaGO responds:

Well, if I do then Yes

[Reds and Blues]

Perfect read, properly animated, though maybe not as smooth as it could've been. Sounds slightly boxy, a little soundproofing around the mic area could help, I used a few styrofoam beer cooler lids as a quickie fix, but was only partially effective due to density. Ricepirate's got a video called 'don't sound shitty', worth a look.

Very decent poem, would you consider adding the lines to the author comments?

GrimJimmy responds:

I don't have a mic. I recorded this with my camera then converted the video to an mp3.

Also, sure I can include all the words.

[Midnight Haze]

Thoroughly impressive, I thought I was gonna bet bored before it got halfway, but no. You riffed a 4 minute mile bro, and it sounded classy and fresh the whole time.

S3C responds:

thanks a lot, VicariousE. glad you enjoyed.

[Smoke My Life Away]

Quite decent, all around! Some of the lyrics (context) before the end were slightly inconclusive/circular reasoning, but isn't that what happens when you smoke your life away? Solid sound engineering, I like that.

Stereocrisis responds:

Much appreciated. We were just messing around, but it didn't come out half bad. I liked the lyrics, but all I really contributed was some vocals, and the beat itself is one I made. Thank you VicariousE!

[Pessimism Doesn't Pay the Bills]

It's bassy and sotto enough I should dock you half a star at least, but the melodic nature and frank words really work well together. Can still make out every word you sing, the strings came out unflawed and they synched, nuff said 5/5

SerPounce responds:

Hahaha, man, thanks a ton! It's been a while since I've worked on a song so I went in a bit of a different direction with it.

[joarZ - SummerBound]

You did an exceptional job making this! I liked the slightly discordant beat, and all the tricks of the audio trade used in the post-production, which were used to great effect :)

The instrument samples used didn't quite ring my bell, so, half star off for that... I'd encourage you to find or create your own palette of instruments/instrument sets for future projects, it would put a nice spin on your compositions!

JoarZ responds:

Thanks man!
Actaully working on trying to make better drums and creating/finding new samples the MIDI (Melody/Chord and so on).

[Noodles]

It's the call of the carbs! Not sure what context this could fill... gotta love the enthusiasm!

Saminat responds:

Hyper enthusiasm to the max!
