DivoFST's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[King Shit]

Pretty badass!
The beginning is awesome and in my opinion is responsible for the best part of the song, the way that beat comes in blasting at 00:20 is da shit! xD
The ending however is a bit abrupt, maybe a loop would be better, r maybe you just forgot to make it loop.
I am not sure what is the main point of the song so ill give several reviews:

Game/Flash song: 10/10 Not too many things going around to distract you from the product and sounds really badass on a fast paced action game or movie.
Rap Song: 9/10: This could turn into a really good rap song with some lyrics.
Finished product: 8/10: Love how it starts and has a great beat but i feel it falls a bit repetitive as a full song mainly because after the intro it pretty much hangs round the same page.

[Jacobus - Bow Down]

Really nice and professional with an excellent grunge feeling in it, the vocals are really good.

JacobusMusic responds:

Thank you sir !

[Crimson Night]

After hearing your worked in a collab with one of my favorite NG composers (Buoy) i thought to myself.... dammit this guy deserves to be listened! So here i am xD....on to the review:
This song is very emotional and sad, the guitars are done with a precision and mastery in Midi that surpasses what i honestly thought possible, i couldn't guess that they could be so realistic!
Needless to say that the whole song is amazing and i personally enjoy A LOT the slower parts, the way you are able to transform the slow sad song into an upbeat almost inspirational anthem is admirable!
Im gonna keep my eyes on you from now forward you certainly deserve the attention!
Great job Step!

Hey, you're the guy who reviewed Legend a few months ago. Thanks for yet another review man!

"After hearing your worked in a collab with one of my favorite NG composers (Buoy) i thought to myself.... dammit this guy deserves to be listened! So here i am xD....on to the review:"

Ha, well the word 'collab' makes it sound like I worked on the track a lot too. All I did was add a few instruments and effects in one of the parts, really. 99% of that amazing track is Buoy's work!

But I'm glad you came and left a review :3.

"This song is very emotional and sad, the guitars are done with a precision and mastery in Midi that surpasses what i honestly thought possible, i couldn't guess that they could be so realistic!"

Yeah, I'm using some pretty expensive VSTs to achieve this sound. I think all of the sounds you're hearing here are actually recorded from real instruments (as in, they're not synthesised). That's what you get for dishing out hundreds of pounds on high-end VSTs.

Although I like to think that my mixing helps make the expensive instruments sound a LITTLE better at least haha.

"Needless to say that the whole song is amazing and i personally enjoy A LOT the slower parts, the way you are able to transform the slow sad song into an upbeat almost inspirational anthem is admirable!"

That's great to hear. I'm still not very satisfied with the transitions here but they'll have to do; I had to rush this to get it in a contest on time.

Great job Step!"

Thanks so much dude, it's support like this that makes my day. Glad you enjoyed the track, thanks again for the great review!

[Depths of Phendrana]

The ambient Master Buoy does it again!
This has a dreamy ambient feeling characteristic from buoy and a very funky and sweet bass line that sits perfectly almost in the center of the song. Love the guitar work, whenever i hear it reminds me of Gilmours solos.
Although i am a fan of Steps work i am not as familiar with his style so i cant mention him as much as i can with buoy but the song is amazing you guys did an amazing work together!

[wandschrank - Waldigkeit]

This has a very happy and peaceful feeling to it and is very calming and enjoyable to listen to.
The only thing that needs some work done is in the department of humanization, the piece sounds overall a bit robotic instead of human, this is specially noticeable in the tambourine sounds you have, that is on my opinion the worst part of the piece.
Very good job wandschrank! (8.5/10)

wandschrank responds:

Thanks for your review! I was a bit in a hurry and had a tight deadline for those songs, so I sadly had no time for those important little details (especially humanization).. I hoped no one would notice, but now someone did! ;D

[housecatt - Nederlands]

Nice song!
Its not something i usually listen to out of the club but i can see this playing there and people dancing like crazy to it :D
Good work housecat!

housecatt responds:

thanks DivoFst your comment Is appreciated :)

[The Feast]

The song works great, it has a lot of tension that really makes you fear for your live. it would do wonders to a movie or game for sure!
It works so well that it could actually save the "oh my god scene in Troll 2" xD....just kidding not even this could save it...
But yeah amazing work stunkel!

stunkel responds:

Thanks! Yeah i'm glad that you experienced the emotion I was going for! And I don't think anything can save that movie DX Probably one of the funniest/horrible scenes I have ever seen!! Probably going to watch it 10 times now XD Thanks for the review man!

[Southern Pastures]

Very good, some parts have a Tomb Raider 1 feeling in them.

deadlyfishes responds:

That was a fun game! Thanks for your review, and now that you say that I notice that as well!

[Sugar Plum Fairy dance]

Its a new approach to the song and you nailed it, really good specially for something done in a hurry.
Cheers!

Genraltweet responds:

Why thank you! :D I appreciate it!
