CapnCoconuts's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Meteor Showers]

This is nothing less than a masterpiece. Soothing and crunk as heck.

Rekuiem responds:

I'm flattered man. I'm glad the mix of using music that's usually approached so softly transformed into a really crunked fuzz worked for ya. I wanted to rough up the standards,

[Boss Battle]

It would help if it didn't sound like a MIDI that was directly converted to an MP3. Use some SoundFonts or VST instruments, man.

And keep trying. This piece doesn't quite cut it for a boss theme, but you're getting somewhere.

[MuscleHanz]

If you want to make true 8 bit, try music software like FamiTracker. You can make music that you could hear on real NES/Famicom hardware with it.

Of course, what you have here isn't half bad. I think the high-pitched notes you have in the second half are a bit harsh to my ears, but overall this is pretty cool.

lesexoflex responds:

Thanks for the review and well-thought advice. I have not done anything serious with FamiTracker yet, because I'm off-put and intimidated by its unfamiliar interface and control scheme, haha. That's how I feel about it as of now, but I'll definitely grow a pair.

Once again, thank you.

[Locked Up]

As others have mentioned, it's the lack of recording quality that is killing the quality of this song. I want to love what you've written, but the recording quality is making that difficult.

The other thing wrong with your song is the lack of a good bass line. Most compositions NEED a good bass line to have adequate substance. Any bass that is in your song is almost impossible to hear.

JimmyTheCaterpillar responds:

Thank you for the review, but frankly the song is supposed to sound like that in my eyes, so suck as it may, it's the way it is.

[Showdown]

I like it. The introduction is a little uneventful for a battle theme though, IMO.

MobiusIII responds:

Yeah I get what you're saying. I may work with this one a little more. Thanks for listening!

[Winter Night's Journey (Through The Storm)]

Metal isn't necessarily my thing, but you've got some pretty sweet music there. I can't think of a single thing wrong with what you've composed. Go on, have a perfect score.

rtnario responds:

Hahaha, that sounds real encouraging, glad you liked it! :)
