Cacola's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Revived]

Holy f**k dude, this is my new favorite song from you. I'm jealous of how good you are at this style of Trance. I don't know why you seem to dislike this song, it's so awesome!

larrynachos responds:

Yes, the melodies are nice, but it's composed so terribly. It's just kinda thrown together in a clusterfuck of noise, and there isn't much variation. Thanks for the review, though ^^

[Strings and Synths]

Oh man, I really wish I knew how to make trance like this, it sounds so good!
The main synth is really what made it awesome.
I love the use of strings as well, it really tied the song together.
Fantastic job!

larrynachos responds:

Thanks Cacola :)

[Infinite Universe]

Nice song, the intro was epic, I loved the melody, and everything had a very nice feel to it!
If I had 1 complaint it would be that it's really repetitive, but I still like it.
(BTW, is our collab still on? I understand if you don't wanna do it)

SASKID responds:

Yeah, hopefully vocals will improve the feel of the song and stop the repetitiveness :)

I haven't got a lot of time at the moment i'm afraid, lots of personal crap. But hopefully in the future :D

[[Trapstyle] Djinn the Ratchet]

Pretty good, I loved the synth choice. although I've never heard the original, so I'll be critiquing this on it's own.
The intro was too quiet, so I turned my volume up, which was a bad idea because the rest of the song was loud, try to keep the volume more consistent.
I really liked the piano at 1:12, but the synth at 1:15 REALLY annoyed me.
I like the build up at 2:23, it's really suspenseful. But the drop was a bit too chaotic for me, especially the drums. And the whole drop was kind of dissonant.
Overall, not bad though. Just try to keep things less chaotic in the future.

MegaMettaurX responds:

The purpose of the drop was to be chaotic. Maybe I'll change the fade in. But that drop is staying because it was intentional. Thanks for the review though.

[The Last Show (Saigo no kōen)]

Holy f**k, this is fantastic!
Besides the drums, everything sounded like a real instrument, and the synths were some of the most epic sounding things I've ever heard!
Amazing job man, it blew me away!

larrynachos responds:

Yeah, I should have replaced the drums with ezDrummer. Thanks a bunch!

[Eternity - SASKID]

That was INCREDIBLY well done! every part of the song worked very well! I love the build up, and the payoff... in all honesty was one of the best trance climaxes I've ever heard, no kidding!

SASKID responds:

Awh man! :D thanks so much! I dunno what it is when the climax kicks in, it just sounds better than anything i've ever created. Really proud of it :)

[Captive in Darkness]

IMO, this is you're best song yet!
I really want to do a remix, could you send me the FLP file and WAV's for the vocals and guitar? (I don't have Vocaloid or Kontakt shreddage)

larrynachos responds:

Can't get you the FLP, and WAVs take way too long to upload. I'll get you the mp3s and you can convert them if you want.

[Consume]

Friggin' awesome dude, everything here works really well! It's very atmospheric while also managing to be an overall great dance track.
The only problem I have is that it's too repetitive, a lead synth would help.
But still, fantastic job!

NoHost responds:

Splendid

[Darkest Hour]

This song sets up a REALLY good atmosphere, I really don't know how to comment on it, but I really like it!
I especially love the choir!
The only problem is that it sounds very MIDI-ish (If that makes since) If you can, try to make it sound more natural.

SoTJake responds:

Hi, thanks for your review. Unfortunatly I don't have a sampler so most of my sounds are really MIDI sounds. But when they only sound MIDI-sh it is ok :)

[Perception]

Dude, you've gotten insanely good!
The only problem I have is the drums, I feel a song like this needs something more powerful.
But other then that? Nothing, it's completely perfect otherwise.
Someone should make a hardstyle remix of this, it would sound awesome! I would, but I JUST did a remix.
This is going on my iPod for sure, as well as the rest of your EP!

TeraVex responds:

That's awesome to hear dude!
Thank you!
I can't wait for more stuff from you!
