LLAAPPSSEE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[NGUAC Final Round - Hopping Over Puddles]

The under-watery 2:17 - 2:46 <3<3<3

Love the sound. Very playful and rhythmically fun. Lots of little flourish-y elements. Reminds me of something that'd be in a a lighthearted JRGP moment (FF9<3) or something.

I've love to hear this performed live. :O

1:49-1:56 that little bit-crushed touch! <3
Into what appears to be a guiro or someone opening a bag of "sound-snacks" only to tug too hard and, trip over themselves and hit the crash <3.

Sidesticks <3.

If I had to ding something in this it might be the general sound of the strings. I can get over that though as it brings me back to the carefree days of playing JRPG's with wonderful OST's using midi instrumentations a lot of the time. So I'm a bit less sensitive to that I guess.

I'd love to hear you explore this style more. Although your last round entry was also *chefskiss*.

LordAndiso responds:

Thank you so much :DDDDDDD

I love making this sorta stuff. I feel very free when making this. But yeah I am afraid of pirating stuff that's why I sacrificed the sound of the strings, I got no better alternative lol
I wish you a good day :)

[How To Make Friends In The Post Apocalypse]

Anyone wanna meet me post-collapse and start a friendly tribe of cannibals!?

Loved the chippy ending.

[Tranquilize]

Sonic energy. Yum.

1:19+ <3
That meaty stabbykickytasty.

[One Summer's Day]

I like what you're doing alot.
The intro is great
That synth-string chords in the background of the intro -- I likey.
+that g'damn drum fill XD.
I'm not big on vox, but I I like them here.
I like the lyrics.

The timbre could be better with the piano/drums, but only when it's solo without much backing. It's a bit "stock".
but y'know...you've made such a fun little piano jive It's hard to care. You're notes and mix transcend.
The late 90's sounding midi-keyboard solo (flute? or something/used as an epiano thing) @ 3:90 is fun has heck and reminds me of old n64 game OST or something.

The fill ~3:56 to vox is <3.

If I'm going to judge -- Deep crit:

@1:17 the "falsetto" (pitch-shift?) vox feel ever-slightly off when you say ">>And<< I saw a man, off the lane. ", it sounds ever-so-slightly off.

@4:40 as well when falsetto "and"
I could also be crazy.

You're one of the songs I've been stuck on in the NGAUC this round. I dunno what this means.
I wanna hear this in an anime OP for whatever reason. XD

:shrugemoji:

[6am Funk]

Help.
My body hurts.
I can't stop listening.
I can's stop grooving.

(my only suggestion is shakers :O)

[Falling Flower]

People sleeping on this?

I'm sorry for humanity. This is easy <3 bait.

The mix is punchy, full, and beautiful.
The bass is crushing everyone 4 floors below me.
Let'em call the cops.
I bet the cops would get here and totally understand.
What?

You've done a beautiful.

Thanks.

:)

(Do I want more? Yes. Guess I'm gonna have to liten to more of your music? If I was cliche I'd minus star you and say something like "not long enough".)

[Astral]

G'damn this mix is yum-town.

[changing (for the better) (NGAUC Knockout Round)]

I'm not usually into vox...
I really dig the lyrics.
Catchy lyrical melodies as well.
Catchy chorus.
I replayed it a handful of times now.

Maybe I'm overly-critical but I'm not sure how I feel about the vocal-stressing/note dipping of certain words in verse 2. It's not toooooo bad, but I'd kinda like to hear it unstressed and smoother like in the first verse. It doesn't seem to fit the rest of the piece. That said...I do like you trying to add variation.

Vatriox responds:

Thank you for your feedback! I kinda noticed that myself haha! I actually re-recorded the verse a handful of times until I got something I was okay with, totally get that you pointed it out lmao

[Tackle Box]

Can confirm, song made me feel like I was being shaken about in a tackle box. :)

[Sicra - The Occult [NGUAC]]

1:35+ is <3.
