Manderby's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Monstrum-]

That is something!

[Crystalis Fantasia (Przekrosza Remix)]

Quite an interesting take!

[-Turbo Galaxy-]

Really catchy. And mastering sounds very nice. Very clean and everything is very distinguishable. Something which I yet have to master. I can easily see how this became your favourite.

One thing though. It sounds veeery much like Waterflame. And as great as our both inspiration is, I would wish for a more unique PredatorMusic style.

Still, top score!

Preds responds:

Thanks man!

I’m still trying to find my own unique style, I gotta start somewhere tho, but I’m still afraid of getting out of my comfort style zone! But I will get there eventually.

[Phyrnna - The Adventures of Captain 8 Bit! (Heiist Fresh remix)]

Yeah, somebody did the Adventures of Captain 8 Bit, one of my favourites!
You are right, it is a bit heavy. But the originality and quality is very refreshing!

[Phyrnna - Of Rainbows (Splatterhead Remix)]

Do I hear a U2 vibe there? Nicely done. Definitiely some ispirational moments. Choice of intstruments though sometimes could be better. Could use more supporting deep instruments in the section during the buildup. The brass section is far too prominent.

SplatterDash responds:

Thanks for the advice! Yeah I noticed a little bit how the bass-y end lacks a little bit in this, forgot to do a little mastering trick to bring it out lol. The brass was kinda prominent because that's how it was in the original, but I see that it's a little too out there, which I feel could have needed a littleore compression only for the brass. Still, thank you for listening and glad you enjoyed it :D

[Van al Tag - A Quick Piano Arrangement]

I find it funny. Could use some work, but it made me smile. :)

[Green Fields of Home]

Very inspirational to add vocals to this song. Very fitting!
Drags on a bit unfortunately. Other than that, very bold take and I like it!

AlbeGian responds:

Thank you! Yeah it's kinda repetitive, and I'm not 100% satisfied with the section from 3:23 to 4:07 aproximately, might change that in the future and update the song. I'm happy that you liked it, though!

[You'll Never Guess This! ~CN Remix~]

Very true to the original, yet with a new style.

ChronoNomad responds:

Thanks, Manderby! That's pretty much what I was aiming for.

Good luck!

[-Ultimate Faze- [Hyperstacks OST]]

Congratulations!

It's a mix of different styles. If it was a standalone piece, it's a bit too fast and a bit too much going on for me. But when added to a trailer, it probably is rather fitting. I like the 3rd quarter quite very much and the beggining of the 4th (with the synth as melody) is very promising in my opinion. Looking forward to the trailer.

[-Cloud District-]

Definitely a Waterflame vibe there. Just like in many other songs by you. ;)

Preds responds:

It is heavily inspired by him haha, thank you!
