DinkBot's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Gesture]

Alright, so my review is more on the quality of the vocals more than anything else. I've been listening to punk for a LONG time. How long? 17 years. Is that enough to give a decent review? I hope so. Overall I enjoyed the song, as a punk song, it contained the elements of the typical punk song and the nature of the vocals followed as such. However, a recording of a song is very different than the same song to the live human ear. My criticism lies in the recording of the vocals. Perhaps even the mastering of the vocals. A tiny bit louder and a lot clearer than the rest of the band, the vocals should be. (a little yoda like eh?)
I dont know your recording situation, and this isnt flippin rollin stone, so I understand there might be obstacles in achieving such a thing.

Overall great piece. I'm curious as to you're presence in the band. Seeeing as how you say..."this is one of my bands."

Keep up the good music dude!

saucybird responds:

LOL it's always nice to see someone else who likes punk music. lots of EDM/techno which I like but my roots lay with punk. but thank you! Recording wise we do everything ourselves. I've been recording my bands and friend's bands for about 3 a half years or so now and I'm going to school for audio engineering. But yeah exactly I don't have fancy equipment to record with, I just use what I'm able to afford and have. Mixing and mastering is my thaaaaang so feedback is always welcomed and appreciated

i play guitar and "sing" in this band i'm in ｖ(⌒ｏ⌒)ｖ♪
thank you again!!

[Is Reverb a Genre]

I really liked the whole thing, all the way though. Very nice. I agree the way the track ends is....lackluster. You could have submitted it as a loop and it would be fine. But as a track on it's own, you've got to find the right way to end it. I'm curious as to how you got the kick to "kick" so hard. I find my kicks to never reach the DB that I want without distortion. Overalll 4/5 great job dude.

Lethal-Input responds:

No secret really. I just happened to find the right kick from a vengeance sample lol. Thanks!

[FD - 112 46]

I like this alot. Makes me think of Dead Space, or a futuristic game intro to a level of sorts. Nice work!

ForgottenDawn responds:

Thank you

[Shadows]

00:55 totally sucked me right in. Great piece dude. from like 1:50 through 2:23 I found myself wanting more melody throughout...mabey like some distant echo'y crystals or voices, give it a bit more breadth. Overall I really enjoyed it, been listening to it on loop for a while now.
^.^

Voltus responds:

Thanks for your review! Glad you like it. I was sitting around on it too much, it had to get out but if I will ever put it up for purchase I'll revisit it!

[Landing Softly]

Beautiful song,

the beginning really drew me into it. Reminds me of like a mellowed 1200 micrograms.

Nice work.

PompYin responds:

Cheers for the comment DinkBot, the positive feedback goes a long way for me and It's much appreciated. Hopefully It's a sign of good work to come, only time will tell.
