The-Glare's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crushingly Un-Brutal]

pretty good

Not your best, but still pretty good. How do you get your recordings so crystal clear? Drums sound like they might be sequenced... only thing i don't get is that little synth line...

jarrydn responds:

Drums are most definitely sequenced.

As for crystal clear recording...I go direct mate ;D. Most people on NG go for the whole "mic your amp up" thing...but they do it with horribly cheap computer microphones. I do have some high end mics at my disposal, but when you go direct, you can do so much more with the raw sound.

Basically, I just run my guitar through a Boss MT2 straight into the computer. Then I route my recorded audio tracks through a VST effect called 'Amplitube' which is basically a tube amp simulator (and it does a damn good job) ;D.

Hope I've been able to help you somehow ;D

[Imperial March...but heavy]

kicks ass

Yeah, that needed to be done. Nice recording quality. Sounds like you nailed the chord progression, too. I've been playing the melody for awhile but I never thought to do it like that. You should do Luke's theme, it has an awesome, minor-y epic feel.

jarrydn responds:

Thanks for the review man :)

Probably won't be doing any more star wars themed tracks...but hey...you never know :)
