ChordC's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Forgotten Journey]

This track gives the atmosphere of adventuring and having fun while doing it! And yeah, I agree with @ian-booms with the percussion, vary the velocity yeah?

Quick question, did you use Garageband to make this song? Cause the instrument sounds are similar.

Mabelma responds:

Yes I did, you have a good ear. Still learning how to make them more unique sounding. Definitely experimenting with varying velocities.

[1959]

My grandparents listen to traditional javanese music lol, because they live in Indonesia, and there was barely any access to the internet. My dad is the one that introduces me to these kinds of songs, those were the times where cassette tapes were introduced and are spread around the world.

I love the guitar sounds, but of course, back then, the sound quality of songs were not as good as today. The songs have a lot more reverb and sound more muffled (if you listened to actual 1950's to 1960's music, you'll know what I'm talking about). If you want to bring a more 50's atmosphere, maybe you can add more reverb to the instruments to bring a more 1950's ambience. Then again, the song still sounds good if you don't wanna tweak it, great job with this one.

I keep forgetting there's plenty of international people all around Newdgrounds :D
You are right, rock n' roll wasn't a big thing on far regions of Asia and Africa.

I get what you mean about the 50's rock sound. I used an emulator of vintage analog mastering , but didn't emulated the room reverb nor the massive high self cuts they used back then. Feels kind of old, kind of modern. Thanks for listening.

[Something That Kills People]

Dude, this is so underrated, this deserves more attention.

Sumina11animus responds:

Thanks 👊🏻💀🤘🏻

[Serenade no. 1 (Reprise)]

I love the atmosphere that this song brings, peaceful, relaxing, and uplifting.

It’s like, telling a story of a child who is still innocent, and is just trying to enjoy nature. I could think of a movie scene that fits with this song, excellent job with this one.

VortexSupernova responds:

Thank you! This was actually named "Childhood's Serenade"/"Serenade to the Fireflies" and is the theme song of my original character https://www.newgrounds.com/art/view/vortexsupernova/shatterflame-childhood) which represented childhood memories :O Nice interpretation!

[Lamarque]

It’s like song that you would hear in romantic movie that takes place in Paris, excellent job with this one.

LexRodent responds:

Thanks for listening. Some people don't realize it, but albeit popular in South America , tango has a big influence from French dance and music style.
