Shiverwar's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Shadow, Dark Metaknight]

Eh... I can hear SOME semblance of Dark Meta Knight's theme, but it's just BARELY there. Not to mention, it all sounds rather clunky to me. Given that this was made in 2007, any advice I would give would, by now, be a moot point, but sound equalization and balancing, man. This piece NEEDS it. Badly. Also, I've heard Dark Meta Knight's theme, both in Amazing Mirror and in Triple Deluxe, and I am also in the process of remixing it myself. This barely has any resemblance to the original or the remake due to the way the notes are carried out.

Could be worse, though. Could be a random, jumbled mess of imbalanced sounds.

[FFVI (US3) Battle Medley!]

I hope you don't mind, but I'd like to use this, or at least part of it, in one or more of my videos. :D It's really awesome!

RobSoundtrack responds:

thanks alot and of course!

[LoKSR: Reaver Schism ReMix]

DUDE! IT'S BEEN FAR TOO FUCKING LONG!!!

I haven't heard new shit from you in AGES, dude! I was beginning to miss you like crazy!

*Ahem* Anyway, on to the review..

While I myself can't make music anymore, due to my computer being down, AGAIN, I'm always fluttering around Newgrounds in search of something to be inspired from. Once again, dude, I find myself being inspired by you, just like back in the beginning of my journey into music. I'm really digging this new mix. While I haven't listened to either theme, I can't help but feel the level of badassness in this mix, despite it not being all "GRUUHHHH YEEEAAHH BREAKING SHIT" heavy. In fact, THAT fact makes it that much better, I'd say. I can't really find anything to nitpick about this, it's just that awesome to me.

Welcome back, dude! It's been so fucking long!!

[[Scarlet Fangs]]

Wow. Quite nice, indeed. I remember when you reviewed my take on it. I only wish I could return to it, but right now my laptop is down, so I need to find some OTHER way to get to it. I promise, though, once I get FL back, I'm GOING to take this one on again!

I do like this one. It does get a little too loud for me at times, but, then again, my ears are kind of sensitive. Great work, man!

MeisterMach5 responds:

Thanks a lot! To this day Scarlet Fangs remains one of my favorites. I'm glad you like it! As for the volume, sorry about that. My songs tend to have either:
A. Volume issues
B. Panning issues
C. Audio clipping
None of those I like. I've yet to learn how to fix them XD

[Deliberation]

For some reason, I could see this in a really amped-up Phoenix Wright game...

And that's a compliment, don't get me wrong! I love Phoenix Wright, and this loop sounds like some sort of song for the deliberation of an important case! I love it!

[Neo Team Plasma Strikes]

Like you, I love the Neo Team Plasma theme, almost as much as I love Champion Lance's theme (who doesn't love that one?), and I think you did an overall nice job of translating the theme to FL Studio. But, if I had to criticize, it would be that it sound like there's a little too much going on, that, or you melded all this stuff in too much. Don't get me wrong, this is a nice adaptation of the song, but for me, there's just a little too much happening here. It's not very easy on the ears for me in certain parts, and for others, it seems that it lacks a little bit of substance. However, I will say that the theme, overall, is accurate to the original, and I've listened to the original at LEAST a few dozen times... especially with all the times you have to fight Team Plasma in B2W2... Overall, could use some improvements, a little less here and there, but an overall nice take on a very lovable theme.

[Dragonzball P]

I don't care what anyone says, this is just awesome.

[W00ki3-Booble Town]

I remember being a tester on this. I like its simplicity. :3 Very nice.

[Frontier-Metaljonus]

It's been a while since I've listened to your shit, but as always you never fail to please. This is fucking phenomenal. Heavy as hell, badass as hell, and a nice cure for anger if the need ever arises. This is gold. Pure, 100%, 24-karat motherfucking gold.

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks dude!!

[Name that song]

The recording quality is sub-par, but for understandable reasons. But damn, this song sounds so damn familiar. I just can't put my finger on it. I know I heard it before. What is it, "Wish You Were Here" by Pink Floyd? I actually like that song.

Ghost21b responds:

And the survey says... Wish You Were Here by Pink Floyd!!! Thank you for playing:)
