Ferstofus's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cyberdate]

So great, think the athmosphere on this skit was so well constructed, both by music/sound work and also the VAs performances; really liked the ending with its song when it comes to that. Was a really cute story, feel like it could be easily developed further if you want to. IMO some light sfx for small things happening (e.g. background chatter or a drink being stirred) could be played during the initial dialogue to add some noise fitting with the light chaotic nature of the situation, but maybe that's a stylistic choice. Anyway, cool stuff Jenny, Trina and Helmyir, thanks for making this and also for bringing it to the collab!

JennyGlynn responds:

Thank you so so much! I had so much fun making this and working with everyone. I've become really passionate about bringing stories to life like this and working with other VA's. I have actually thought about developing the story more! And I didn't think about extra sounds like that. It would have definitely added more to the atmosphere! One thing's for sure, I'll be making many more ** !

[Mythical Ocean]

Really liked the initial build up and the rhythm and athmosphere, also loved how you included and assimilated the seagulls noises into the song, marvelous. I also really esteem how you harmonized well the different parts of the song, they're noticeably different yet feel well connected to me. I would have appreciated a more dramatic change in mood at one point or another, with maybe lower notes and a deeper athmosphere? I feel that could add some sort of contrast to the frenetic nature of the song (even with the same rhythm). My opinion. Either way, great job! Thank you for making this.

Constrict responds:

Thank you so much for the feedback!
I appreciate it alot^^

The mood turning darker seems like a pretty good idea!
I had lots of fun with this liquid dnb track so ill probably do another sometimes and ill keep your suggestion in mind!
Thanks^^

[Zero Hour]

Pretty epic, really liked the cadence at the start, I find the part that ends at 2:53 a bit stretched out, perhaps I'd suggest making it shorter or adding one or two more instruments to it, but regardless, the song is solid man.

chitstain responds:

Thanks Fersto!
I kinda see what you mean there, there are a couple parts that hang just a taaad bit long (such as the part at 1:07, as well). I could never time them in such a way that it didn't wind up throwing off the timing for so many other things in Reaper. I'm sure there's a way around that, but I gotta learn more in Reaper lol

[Big Steps (Beautiful) - (April Fools)]

Zaaz, I... I didn't know you had it in you to make what I just listened to...the instruments, just everything...this is a true piece of you.

ZaazNG responds:

Thank you, Fersto <3 I really poured all my heart into this music.

[Better, Warmer]

Pretty dancey. Has an inspirational vibe, and a strong beat. Well, that's what I'm feeling from it. Good stuff making this to help people out, care like this keeps the world standing. Can you give us the lyrics?

[The Blues for Beginning Experts]

Everything fit as well together as a racoon in a car engine. The "singing" scrapes my ears painfully and makes me want to hate that guy. I wish I had never listened to this. Great job.

[Theme from LuckyDeeIndustries]

At one point it gets kinda western, but keeps the smooth groove. Makes me think you like to do calm and relaxed voices, I don't know. Anyway, the song gives a nice mood.

[Torque]

Memorable beats, really feel like the start of something, either an album or a movie scene perhaps. Has that soothing energy that makes you want to listen more.

[Killer Robot Blues]

Exactly what I imagine a robot blues would sound like. "Metallic", melancholic, does a good job of painting the emotional picture. Raw and nice.

LexRodent responds:

Thanks for listening mate.

[Jupiter Hell OST - LuckyDee demo track]

Heavy, ambient, I imagine would've fit perfectly somewhere in the game. I also found it somewhat relaxing, but maybe that's just me
