DrPockets's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Edge of Faith]

Where's the delay on the piano?!

So has EA contacted you for some sequel work yet or..?

But seriously, I enjoyed this very much. The chunky guitar in the middle seems a little out of place in a game about fluidity and speed, but the clunky combat felt out of place out of Mirror's Edge, so it's all good.

9 out of 10

NemesisTheory responds:

no they haven't! oh if only XD then I'd might have to reconsider going "pro" lol.
and yes I agree, but all the dance/trance stuff has been done before by the big boys :P

I'm glad you enjoyed it :)

[The Case]

Nice horns!

+ Solid hooking bassline for the intro.
+ Super mega sick horn stabs that I never hear on newgrounds.
+ Light, airy leads sprinting over dirty basses.

- LONGER PLZ kthxbai

I really like the overall sound of this piece and hate the epic cliffhanger at the end. You're a tease!!

Good work!

TimeBender responds:

It isn't anything special, that bass took me forever to make. two synths layered, distorted, and specialized with a few simple effects. Thanks for checking it out.

[Danger/Activate]

This shit is cool.

I 5'd you on the left and have to say that the glitch, breaks, bass, and subtle chimes all work for a devastatingly chilly vibe.

It kinda sounds like those old toonami bumps if you ever watched that..

Slick responds:

Thanks, glad you liked it. Nah sorry I haven't seen those before. I'll see if I can youtube them or something. Thanks for the review :)

[A Breath of Fresh Air]

What is that?!

Are you playing guitar in this or is it just it all computer effects?

EGGNOG4073 responds:

its all synths

[The Art of DnB]

Nice!

+ The padding is neat.
+ The beat is fun.
+ The breakdown and shift at 1:13 is reallllly cool. I think that's the best part of DnB is breaking the tempo down and then blowing up again.
- While the padding sounds neat, it is a bit repetitive, but I think you know that.
- And while the beat is fun, it becomes repetitive before the shift at 1:13.

Don't be afraid to get crazy with your drums! Put basses where they shouldn't be, throw snares at your step sequencer like darts at a board, and let the hats keep the beat!!

dj-KDUB responds:

haha. now this is the kind of review i want to hear!!!! thank you very much dr pockets. you'll probably be getting a pm from me soon :)

[-Race around the world-]

Waterflame responds:
