RobSoundtrack's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Above It All-]

WOW what to say first!
I love your sound!!!! ....though it may be because it's not dissimilar from my own... who knows I like it!

Tell me a little about your guitar rig here! Usually I can pick out at least the amp variety but am clueless.

Great work in EZD! EZX expansions are so addictive... I use the stock kit and metalheadz for almost everything and about to get the new "metal machine"....which is kinda what this sounds like!

Would not be upset about Biohazard. Wouldn't have thought twice about it...

So...when are we collab'ing????

Back-From-Purgatory responds:

Heh, thanks!

As for my set up, this was played on my 6 string Peavy Raptor (Kind of a shitty guitar, but it gets the job done!) through a Line 6 POD X3 Live (Amp: 2001 Treadplate Dual, Screamer Distortion), direct line via USB into my PC. There's a Digitech loopstation in there as well, but it had no effect on my sound, it's mostly there for jamming/recording ideas.

As for EZD, I use Drumkit From Hell for pretty much all my metal songs, and I've used both the rock and cocktail kit in a couple of my less aggressive submissions.

Toxic Biohazard... yeah, I may end up using this more often for my bass, because I'm too lazy to replace my bass strings, and really, it doesn't sound half bad anyways!

As for collab... I'm booked for the next little while, but I'll throw you on my contacts list and keep you in mind when I've got more free time for new projects.

[If I knew(Demo)]

Dangit man! That tone! Awesome!
Great display of chops too here.
Save some of the good stuff for when we collab.

[To feel good]

The mood

is totally on point-
And once again, awesome tone!

Harmony puts it over a 10....if there was such a thing.
Freakin perfect.

15/10 6/5

[{Power of Rock}]

FAT TONE

Guitar tone is unique; yours is big and awesome.

I know i know, thats what she said

5/5 10/10

[Slow Death (draft)]

Kinda coo

Since its a draft/experiment, suppose its only right to talk about what you are testing here.

Fuzzwah seems like a cool emotive idea or effect; might be even more powerful to bring in a dry guitar and bring the song into the fuzzwah. etc etc

[Too far away [remake]]

Not typical but

I actually rather like the guitar tone.
From a tone snob, feel the love bro.

I think its kinda what this mix needs anyway.
Fredman style mic'ing a v30 loaded cab, for example, would kill the rest of the mix LOL

Warhector responds:

thanks man:) sorry for late response!
The guitar tone, well, I had a shitty guitar effect board. No preamp or mics here, so I had to improvise with various effects in the daw. I'm happy with the result. Now I am a mixing snob and appreciate a good mix and mastered song. But thanks for listening!

[Conflict (posthardcore)]

GUITAR TONE

IS BEAST!!!
I love it-

Feel free to tell me about your setup sir

dammit-dude-2006 responds:

It's pretty cheap stuff, literally just use a Line 6 GX with the newest Pod Farm plugin. Not too sure exactly what tone i used though. I think it might be a variation on Periphery's 'Bulb distortion' tone that they put up for download. I also doubled up the guitar playing the lower stuff just to thicken it up. Thanks so much for the review, good sir!

[Last Symphonia - Legenda]

From one...

From one guitarist to another,
GREAT TONE

Sheodon responds:

Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)

[Undine's Magic (SOM Remix)]

omg

Oh man I'm amped to see another SOM remixer, much less another fan of the game!

This piece has def been overlooked....until now! You completely nailed it!

[Title - Extended]

Phrasing

Didn't know you played guitar! Probably because you don't 'need' to use it in every piece you do! Which is cool all in itself.

Anyway, Review:
Before talking about your guitar, I'll say that this would make a cool title, given its name. The mix sounds good and seems to be intended for something more than just an improv track. Cool cool.

Your phrasing is Very Good. Real important as a guitfiddlist.
Tone, can't tell what gear you use for the piece, but tone works great for the theme.
Clean chops for the licks played. Stylistic stuff I have no complaints,
use of double stops, hammer-on pull-offs, and wrist vibrato were well executed here.
Was going to complain that only the pentatonic scale was used here, in lieu of adding some natural minor, but I heard a few blue notes used in wonderful places (blues scale) so I retract.

In closing, very good guitar work for this piece. Would like to hear more tracks with it, and more to see how extended your guitar capabilities are.
GOOD JOBZORZ
