LunyAlex's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fun House]

Surprisingly pleasant. I'd enjoy this in a Nintendo game of sorts (Donkey Kong maybe?).

AudioDriver responds:

It would be my dream to make soundtracks for a Nintendo game. Thanks for the great review.

[Approach (Extended)]

Love the song and progression and punch.

I guess for helpful critique's sake I'd say the mix is a teeny tiny bit overcompressed? Regardless, great tune!

DetiousMusic responds:

Thanks mannn and I get what you mean, it's still a little too crunchy at parts. d:

[Re: Warmth]

Fantastic piece. The textures in the piano's tone are truly beautiful as are the melodies invoked. It fits the artwork you chose greatly. Best of luck.

MattBat27 responds:

Thank you so much Luny. It really does inspire me when I hear things like this!

[Northwing Fury III (edit)]

Quite awesome! This sounds like what would happen if Rammstein went surfing, hah. Can't really criticize anything, sadly. The only thing that comes to mind is that I would've had a slightly thinner snare, but that's me really trying to nitpick, hah.

Blacklawn responds:

Drums are probably my eternal weakness, heh. Thanks for the feedback.

[Alizzy 6]

This makes for a great hip hop instrumental. I imagine some aggressive rap vocals and it shines nicely!
Great work!

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

Thanks LunyAlex!

[Memory Gain]

This would work splendidly in a game; I imagine an atmospheric 2D platformer.

Chemiqals responds:

Haha, that's awesome! I was just thinking that your song "Razors" would make for a bad ass theme in a fighting game! Thanks for listening!

[LL (Old) - The Artificial Demise]

Fantastically atmospheric. The vocals are particularly great. Really love the effects on them, to the point where I'd ask how they were achieved, but I respect an artist's privacy regarding his methods.

Lich responds:

Haha, it's fine I can tell you how I've done them:

Main Vocals (Industrial Fry)
1 - Record the vocals, it can either be done in two ways as either full on Fry Vocals (which are easier to work with which I have been doing alot more recently) or if you can't do that, a strained whispering shall work as well (more distortion would be required to get Whispering to work for this).
2 - Once vocals are recorded, apply the Distortion first. My Two favorites which I use for this is Ohmforce's Ohmidide and Adobe Audition's Distortion unit working together. Distort it, so it sounds Powerful and sharp but not impossible to hear the actual lyrical wording.
3 - Apply Pitch Shifting to it. Taking it down alittle bit, tune it to the key you are trying to sing in and reduce the wet/dry to around 50%, down from 100%.
4 - EQ anything which sounds out of place out. Usually if done correctly you won't have to do much other than cancel out some of the higher frequencies (I use Waves DeEsser to do this super quickly).
5 - Apply some Light Compression to glue it down sligthly. Not too fussy on what is used, the nicer the better.

(Robotic-ish) Dialogue Parts
1 - Record the Dialogue and then load up AVOX Mutator and make the 'Thoat Length' option set to around 1.15 (for a longer, deeper sound)
2 - Apply AVOX Harmony Engine to the Recording and fiddle around around with the different bands and parameters untill you are happy with the sound you like. Pretty simplistic compared to editing fry.

[Open]

Great progression. Has a very "timeless"/forever-going vibe to it. Very delicate melodies and an upbeat rhythm.
Also love the synths used.

5/5
