durn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tower To The Moon (Kuiper Mix)]

Clops along at first...

But I love when the bass comes in and it starts to roll a bit. Definitely feels like I'm climbing a never-ending stairway up to the moon. Nice, dreamy tune. :)

[Tugley]

Yeee-haw!

The train's comin into town, pardner! Rally up yer men and let's fetch our six-shooters!

Whaaaaaat! at 45 seconds in or so it just goes fucking awesome! didn't expect that at -allllll- dude! :D NICE!!!

very fun and experimental layout/automation of your stuff here, man.

this is getting a 10 because it's obvious you had fun making this. :)

love the SID synth at 2 minutes in. felt like I was playing Contra again.

...only negative comment is the panning drum pattern gets kinda annoying.

[someone else's bed]

hmm...

who's singing here? you or the computer?

waaaaaay too much vox/pitch-bending

would've been much better without so much of it.

mseemercury responds:

bro its modern hip hop sorry but auto tunes is used for alot of hip hop and rnb artist now of days. sorry but this aint techno

[Flava]

I like!

is that first drum loop laid out by yourself cause it's very fun! :) not a big fan of the rhythm when it comes in heavier at 0:41 though. Nice job otherwise. :)

619lover responds:

yea i made all the loops =) thx for the review

[Tropical Cruise]

Boredom is...

a gift!

Glad you took advantage of it. Fun little ditty here. Reminded me of the old lucasrts game, 'The Secret of Monkey Island'.

[Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers]

Not bad, guys

Gets a little off-tempo at times and the mastering/reverb on the snare sounds a bit muddy but good other than that.

Nice stuff. :)

Beartheshadows responds:

Yeah, as simple as this song was, there was some real ard times catching cues and what not. But thanks. I'm glad you liked it.

[In a Cellar [TB91]]

subtle and soothing

ends kinda abruptly but very mellow and a nice flow to the melody. good stuff. :)

[James Bond Rock Version]

crack out the n64

Cause I'm gonna take you boys out in Goldeneye!

that's what this got me thinkin' of. :D

Shadowtosh responds:

hell yeah break out that bad boy!!!!!

ah N64......good times good times

[<Tales at dusk>]

Nice tune

The melody got kinda repetitive though I was diggin' the funky bassline when you did change it up.

Rawmin responds:

Thanks, and thats the reason I changed it up!

[My Love]

so... is this all you?

pretty top-notch stuff, regardless. I don't like how you bring the breath-rap back in at 1:40, it could go without. the flute solo holds enough alone that it really sounds muddy with the rap behind it.

but seriously, are these loops in a program or all your own original work?

Soundshifter responds:

thank you :) the piece was an original i wrote while in california. the bass and guitars are all live and played by me. the flutes and violins are from my sound bank, but i played the melody on the keyboard. and the drums were loops because i dont have a real set. thanks for listening :)
