Lethal-Input's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Celebration of a New Year]

Very well done! Definitely on par with a professional sounding piece. It really fits the theme you were going for too. I could easily see this playing at some kind of celebration. I can't find anything negative to say without SUPER nitpicking. The instruments sound great. The weakest part of the piece imo was probably 50-1:03. Probably because the synthiness of that sound really stands out compared to the rest of the stuff. Anyway, very good stuff! 4.5/5

DavidGrossmanMusic responds:

Thanks. I'm glad you liked it so much. Many people that have heard my music (the few pieces on here or the many others I've written) have said that it sounds very professional, especially since I started mixing outside of Finale. That's one thing that I definitely pride myself on.

I agree that the sound around 0:50-1:03 isn't 100% the way I want it to sound (the bass clarinet and trombone project a little more than I'd like them to), but there's only so much I can do to fix it when it's caused by the Garritan instruments. A real orchestra would be much better, but I don't have one that is always available to record whenever I need it (yet).

[Metropolitan Spirit]

I really like the vibe this gives of, some of the piano parts are beautiful. The guitar part was pretty epic too. Feel like something that'd I'd hear in a video game. Overall I think it was pretty well made. 4/5

[Voice Acting Demo 2]

Your voice is freaking great. I could definitely see you doing pro voice acting sometime. There IS something that feels just a little off... Just a little bit. I'm not sure what it is... Maybe a certain grunginess that your voice lacks? Maybe try out a couple different accents? Or it could just be the recording quality. Either way, this is definitely amazing! the content and all. 4.5

Denstaiga responds:

Thank you! As for that missing element..man I tell you. I know exactly what you mean. I've listened to this several times with the same nagging thought. I think you may be right about the grunginess. It's odd, my normal voice has a rather course tone, but when I narrate I seem to loose it. I have much to learn still.

[{!RGH} The Tribal Rites]

One of the things I personally didn't like off the bat was choir synth I found the actual tunes pretty relaxing though. The drums that started being using used at about 1:55 were real good, as were the drums/percussion that started at around 3:30. I think the song could be a lot better if some of the instruments didn't sound bad though. I didn't feel like it was repetitive at all; things changed up often enough. I also really liked how the sounds started to muffle during the outro. Overall a I give it a 3.5

I definitely have some Native Instrument plug-ins on my wish list ;)

Glad you liked it!
