Kauvin's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[_/Far Away\_]

Nice.

The progression was great and I liked how the sounds flow in.
But somehow I can't get the intro. For me, was so much action into it and didn't build well with the rest of the track.
The bass appeared to be "haggish" after 3:30, but I know you can fix that.
In overall, nice song, with incredible harmony.

5/5

ShootingStar responds:

Thanks! And yes, I think the intro was a bit long for what I was doing.

[Orchestral Metal Piece 1]

Amazing

Amazing work as always, this song is very intensive, it got to my nerves brutally when became the build up and the drums, lol. The strings left well at the beginning, maybe I couldn't listen right in the chorus because the drums were somewhat loud, but that really isn't worth to the listener, this song is amazing, the drums let it some epicness, or maybe very much in my opinion :/

In overall, another amazing work from you, looking for more orquestral/metal epic themes :D

5/5

Gravey responds:

Thank you very much for the criticism and review. Much appreciated.

[Clear Skies {durn}]

Nice try

The music itself is catchy as always, but for me the bass is very much deep and eletronic with this funky house kick.

Needs more work on the voice mix. You don't need too much vocoder and reeverb in a solid song to let a nice touch in your voice, because you can sometimes destroy it with a bad mix. Well, I am just saying that you made a good mix, but you can do better.

In overall, good first try. Hope to see more voice work from you soon.

durn responds:

:) Thanks for the critical review, Kauvin! I do agree, will be working more on powering my vocals with soul instead of vocoder on future songs. :D I added the effects cause well, I've never treated vocals before, was playing around. :d Will be more cautious in the future though! Thanks again for the solid review, Kauvin. :)

[Orchestral Theme 4]

Awesomne piece

Very well written and very well played, I liked the way the instruments were being used in harmony, ability and a little of action. That was just a sequel to enjoy the great effort you made, in my opinion, although this is a bit familiar than a good orchestral I usually hear. In overaIl, well made, I enjoyed the piece very well :)

9/10, 5/5

Gravey responds:

Glad you enjoyed the piece.

[-[PK]- the simple song]

Amazing song

Definitely simple, but good melody, only getting a good title (I believe) and improve the quality of these beats would be better. 9/10

pyrotek45 responds:

thank you,the quality would have been better but the file size limit would not allow the higher quality version.

[Muskokan Dusk {durn}]

Great track!

It's like your other songs, unique, but this was better!

That sounds great, I appreciate very much these loop effect, also all these automations and beats were professionals, this guitar stuff (guitar stuff?!?) and laidback style in the end.

10/10 full, 5/5.

durn responds:

:) Thanks Kauvin. Glad you liked the jam at the end, it's my favourite part. :D

[Fingerprints of the Gods{]

Very well

For me, this song reflects something cold, certainly times of storm... anguish... sadness... but another part, made me think something burning... I can not really describe what actually identified in this song. This slow-paced progression is impressive.
Excelent track indded, keep doing.

durn responds:

The beginning I can totally agree with you, I did that part to cool me down, but then I had my fan off for like 2 hours cause the sound of the blade interfered with my work and I was -scorching- hot in my room and all of a sudden the center part just leaped out during an off-key recording based on the acoustics of the drum pattern I'd made.

The whole center part was quite by luck, I like happy accidents. :) Thanks for your thoughts, Kauvin.
