Dimoria's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Làgrimas]

Sounds good ! I like the clean sound with the chorus . Some things that could help this song become a tighter mix is if you would pan the bass to the center. Cut the guitar track in the beginning so you don't hear the static from your computer monitor. And if you have multitracks for your drums don't use reverb on the whole kit. You get kind of a double hit feel on the quarter notes etc. Also try recording the clean guitar 2 times and panning them fully to the left and right. And put the lead guitar in the middle. The distorted guitar is a bit bright in the mix. But the song is really cozy and has a nice feel to it. Keep up the good work. Oh and good levels on all the instruments.

ANGELGRIS responds:

Thank you very much for your review.In fact I`m still learning to use this program so It`s going to take time to make the songs sound like they should be.I`ll try to get better and post better stuff next time.I`m glad you enjoyed It.

[Predator (Instrumental)]

Sounds great man! A little too much low mid around 220-440hz (I think) on the palm mutes they crackle a bit. Other than that it's awesome! Keep up the good work!

Lashmush responds:

Brofist engines engaged: Prepare for maximum impact.

[Rectum Shredder]

Sounds excellent as always! Keep up the good work! :D

[Liberate tutemae]

Sounds fucking amazing as always! Amazing job with the overall mix. Great guitar tone . Really love the atmosphere in the song. I think it's too bad that there is a huge break in the song. But at the same time it's what ads the atmosphere. If you don't mind , what do you use for drums because it's sounds amazing! Keep up the good work.

Check them out. I'm sure you'll be interested.

And if you're interested as to how i get that drum tone, Well, there's really a lot of work to get the drums to sound like this and I really can't tell that in only a few sentences.
What you have to know is, how all the tools work and how to use them reasonable. I'm speaking of Multiband compressors, verbs, limiters, fft-filters and so on....

[Vater]

This sounds amazing. I really like how you have a sound of your own. Not trying to duplicate or ripoff from anything. It's reeeeally good! The guitar tone is superb! What do you use for drums ? Sounds amazing. Keep up the good work. And also you should get your stuff up on Ubetoo.com or Cdbaby or something. For more commersial exposure and to earn some really earned cash.

[Nordavind]

!!!!

This song really gave me goosebumps . I really like the drumwork on this one. Sounds extremly authentic. I have nothing specific to point out since this song really is perfect.
The song makes me think of a troll kin trying to find it´s father vading through 1 m of snow . Being watched by wild animals and being lost and afraid. I like the reversed effect on the piano or whatever it is :) Keep up the excellent work!

[[UE] Part I (Ultimate Edi]

WOW!

I didn´t think this song could get any better. But when you actually can hear the choir singing words instead of just vocals this is EPIC. I think the drums come out a bit too "trebleish" if you know what I mean. But that´s just when they are "alone" they work extremly well in the mix. You know I hate your guitars , but this time they are really good.
Especially after the sitar (steel guitar with lot´s of delay etc :P ) the chug parts sound authentic but the melody on the thinner strings sound like crap , like a synth or something :P I think it´s because you can not hear the stroke of the pick or the fact that a good guitarist would have to do much more vibratos to gain that kind of sustain. Strings sound incredible , harp sounds awesome , really like the double bass sound in the beginning and the pizzecato from the violins and cellos . Tubular bells sound awesome in the mix , not too bright or anything they are perfect. the trombones or trumets in the beginning sound a bit too bright and start to loose their original character of sound. But it works in the mix . Piano is awesome! Incredible fucking great work as always! Keep up the good work. Oh yeah , I was sort of expection vocals on this song since you are borrowing my shit ;)

Lashmush responds:

Ultima Eternus will never have lyrics, but I might record a few blarghs and rawrs for the later parts.

Great big thanks on the review. I'll be sure to do some tweaks to it before I release the free and lossless versions respectively!

I'm still open to the idea of you doing guitarsolos for UE you know... Xenogenocide has also shown interest in that department which could lead (get it?) to some epic guitar dueling in part 3, 4 or 5. :3

[Lonely Mind]

Good

It's a good song . But the next time you should record the guitar and vocals induvidually . I mean , you barely hear the guitar . And try dubbing the guitar when you record it. Keep it up!

Kratzy responds:

so then listen to the final version if you wanna be a perfectionist about it all. its under my most recent.

[Metal Random 3]

Nice drum programming!

The sound is awesome! But I guess that's the metal foundry right ? Just a tip when you program drums , try to make hits have different velocities or else it will just sound programmed if you know what I mean , usually in a standard 4/4 beat in a 8th note pattern the first note is harder then the second , that goes for the 3rd 5th 7th etc . If you know what I mean :) And for guitars , try dubbing it 4 times and pan it 100 L 60 L 100 R 60 R for a PHATTER SOUND! ;) Keep up the good work :)

Warhector responds:

Thanks for the comment dimoria =D
im actually using superior drummer dfh, N.Y drumkit and the original combined : )
and I will try out the trick with the guitar mixing =) panning 100% and 60%
the velocity in this song is programed just for the sounds right xD thanks again man =)
keep on rocking!

[Phoenix (For Jennifer)]

Best

Guitarsound yet! Still sounds a bit synthetic on the lead parts (duna duna duna) . But great riffs! Like the bassound alot the kick could be a little higher a bit longer release on the OH , violins / cellos sound terrific! Snare kind of drowns a bit in the overall sound . A bit too much compression perhaps. You have come a long way in programming drums , really like the groove bit around 03.00 Choirs sound excellent. You still got it my main man! Keep up the good work and ... Balls.
Oh yeah , lyrics ? ;D
