Haggard's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Busted]

\m/

This sounds very interesting. Shows that one can create interesting sounds even with broken equipment ^^.

I definetly can imagine this being used in a flash. It just have to be some kind of "psychotic" flash based on the style of games like Silent Hill or movies like Eraserhead.

Yeah, it turned out a bit like a really fucked up, dirty Aphex Twin.

[Why the Night p8]

\m/

The song starts of very nicely with that drums. They have a very good beat.

The guitar is quite overamplyfied and because of that the vocals sound a bit unclean, too. So you definatly have to work on the sound quality. I can imagine that it's very hard to get good quality in sound, but I think it's definetly worth it.

I really like the song as of now, the beat is good, the guitar is played quite well and I just like your voice. It's a very characteristic voice and that makes your song easy to distinguish from all the other songs here in the audio portal.
But I would like the song even better with better sound quality ;) .

LenardNotLenny responds:

Yeah, I can get a nice quality, but not that great. And I'm all in Garageband, due to lack of funds to get a better program, and its hard to get a nice distortion on there. The main problem with my guitar is that throughout all my stuff, I'm using an acoustic guitar. Because, I don't have a cord to get my electric to the comp, and without a chord, the electric sounds like shit. So, until I get that cord, my guitar shall forever have better-than-possible quality.

Whew. That was a long winded explanation...

[Robot Sound Effect: 2]

\m/

As I've already written in "Robot Sound Effect: 1" it would be much better to submit a nice collection of various "robot sounds" in a single file. Of course with some pauses between the single effects to make it easier to just take the sound one likes best.

Hmm... k.

[Robot Sound Effect: 1]

\m/

It's way too short to be really useful. SoundFX are all nice and stuff, but I think if you had put in some more "robot effects" this would be of more help to a flash artist.

One single sound only has a small chance of being used, but if you'd manage to submit a whole "collection" of robot sound effects I think that people could simply download and alter it to their needs. I can think of robot voices, some "metallic movements" (as in the metallic "clank" when a robot walks, etc.).

With this single sound, artists don't have much choice.. either use it or don't use it. With some more sounds the chance that an author might use some of them is much higher.

I'm sure I'll get some sources.

[Gothclawz Beat]

\m/

I have to say that I didn't like that one. Sounds as if I don't tune in a radio station on my radio somehow... but maybe it can be used just as that in a flash.

But to me it seems as if very little effort was put into this submission. It's very short and not very entertaining, to say the least...

The good thing about this is that it loops just perfectly.

Conal responds:

That deserves more than a '1' surely D:<

[<Me & the expression of me>]

\m/

Hm, doesn't happen much here... but it really sounds interesting. I think this is a good background track for a menu in a "psycho game" (like Silent Hill for example) as it sounds really unpleasend and it makes one feel uncomfortable. Perfect for those kind of games :D .

Conal responds:

Resident evil themed more like.

[Warp away]

\m/

It sounds interesting and does loop quite well. But I think the ending doesn't really fit with the rest of the loop.

The beginning is very good and you manage to create a good atmosphere. But the ending just sounds out of place, the change in style is too abrupt and so the whole atmosphere you created with those warping sounds is lost from one second to the other.

Also, this is too short and sounds a bit unfinished. Just as if you planned something big with this and then all of a suddend lost interest in it.

Cyberdevil responds:

Unfinished? Hmm . . . I suppose I threw this together in quite a hurry, but I didn't really have any bigger plans for it. Anyhow, thanks for the comments!
