davada's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Jordan Technofied]

Ah the nightmares!

The nightmares of trying over and over and over and over trying to conquer this song but inevitably failing... they haunt me to this day. Good job though. I'll have to check out your other one.

DJ-Nightmare responds:

Lmao. Yea I still havent beat that. But i can beat dragonforce -_- I dont get it lol.

[Cosmic Argonaut]

You definately have the voice

for a musical. Reminds me of the main character of Rent. I'm surprised you haven't done an actual musical. and if you have then shame on you for not putting it on newgrounds. J/k. You do what you want with your music. Just know that your amazing. Kudos

Ginchy responds:

yeah, people tell me I sound a bit like the rocker (Roger) from Rent. I take that as a compliment. I learned to sing by doing musicals and choir. i'm working with a few people on developing a script for a musical about superheroes. i want it to be something like mystery men meets romeo and juliet kind of thing (the two families being heroes and villains, their kids in love). it's slow going. writing the music is the easy part... developing characters, much harder.

[Average Terminal]

Do you have your own studio?

Cause damn. Everything sounds crystal clear, especialy the vocals. I don't exactly get the message, but I prolly will after listening to it a few times, and since I'm downloading it, that won't be too long.

Ginchy responds:

do I own my own studio? not sure how to answer that... i have a computer and a few decent microphones, so I guess you can say my apartment is a make-shift recording studio. this is probably my most professional sounding recording, but my ears say that all of my tracks could use a good mastering from a professional.

I'm glad you like the song enough to download it man! I think it may sound relatively professional because I have decent singers at my disposal and utilize drum loops (real session players played them). I spend a lot of time mulling over mixes by playing them on multiple speaker systems (really crappy speakers, really nice speakers and everything between).

The song is about being mediocre in a society where in order to be valued, you have to be exceptional in some way. Being 'young for my age' is about not being where society seems to think you should be by a certain age... like being 25, still working on a bachelor's degree and not having any idea what to do for a living. People my age are always apologizing for where they are (or aren't) in life... like they know more was expected of them but they failed somehow (ie. they were supposed to travel to other countries, be an important executive or politician). When your life's over, did you make an impression? did you matter? is your exisitence going to make a difference in the grand scheme of things? Depends on on what you value. If you were loved and were sincere and 'good' to the best of your ability, shouldn't that be enough?

I think these are things most people think about.

[Pyrokinesis]

Interesting piece of work

I sounds dark and very video game like. My only suggestion is increase the volume of the drums a little bit. Not to make them over powering, just enough to make them more noticable.

Billtog responds:

I was having a bit of trouble with the drums in SynthFont. If I made them much louder, certain effects would over-power the entire music while others would be at perfect volume. I decided it was better to have them in the background than to be able to hear nothing else. Thanks for your review.

[Super Trippy]

A few suggestions

bass should be stronger, there should be more to it, and I don't really see this as an indutrial. I see it more as a trance. I like it none the less.

Sonix-Commando responds:

Thanks, mabey ill turn it into a full song, but yea your probaly right, i should have put it under trance.

[F-777 LOTR ReMiX]

Not that big on LOTR...

So I don't recognize the tunes, all I know is that its a good piece. Fast beat, light notes. Its a very happy sounding song. I enjoyed it very much.

[paperman]

Original

Its got a nice rythem to it and theres nothing that I could possibly suggest to it. It's a little repetative, but not in such a way that makes it unbearable. Quite the opposite. It's not like any other song I've hear and it would be very good for an opening theme. Great job. 5/5 10/10

[Lost Colony RMX (unfinished)]

Good song

I don't know what lost colony is, all I know is that this sounds cool as shit. Can't wait to hear the full version.

[~Girl in Love~ hania]

I agree. Wow.

There is nothing that can be critisized about this pice. It's just like, I get this feeling listening to it. It is totally worth putting on my iPod, just cause it's so beautiful. You have an amazing voice, not that you need me telling you that. Keep up that fantatstic work. I've added you to my favorite artists just cause of this song. I'll be sure to let you know what I think of your other songs.

[Halloween Dance]

hmm... zelda?

Thats what it reminds me of. a Spooky version of a zelda song.
