Anchorwind's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rotting Humanity - EPDemo]

I still say your instrumentals are your best works. Cryoannihilation is pretty good.

Lich responds:

Glad you like :)

[Nautical Titan]

There are some solid sounds here. Nice attacking, pulsing sounds.

AliceMako responds:

Well the bassline i made with rp subboombass which i currently have on trial as i'm still on the fence whether i should buy it, though so far it does sound quite nice.

The lead synths i did with rp predator and reason's thor, they pulse cus they're sidechained somewhat agressively.

Glad you like.

"It's getting nice and heavy." We've talked about this one enough for me not to need to repeat everything here. I still could have used more cowbell...er...rhythm guitar, but that's old news as well. I've added this one to your already considerable playlist.

ZLEAP responds:

I pushed FLStudio to its limit. It was sucking up so much CPU that none of the sounds were audible due to static. Also, it wouldn't keep tempo, causing something like a drunken stutter. As cool as that sounds, it just didn't make things better. Although, I may be onto something. Still thinking about multitracking it. Other projects are just as time demanding and I like working on multiple tracks. Its fun to have them borrow from each other. Uniforming the sound I suppose. But it's my uniform.

[Nothing But Hell Here]

/download. Your playlist brought me here. Please tell me this one gets revisited at some point. It's enjoyable and could be more. It's ambient but slightly hollow. The depth of writing is not matched by quality of sound - but having heard pieces you've produced post this: I think it can be revived.

ZLEAP responds:

I agree. And yes, I've been tinkering with it for the last week or so. It already sounds better but it still isn't quite up to my current standard. I should have an updated version up before too long if the few projects I'm working on now run smoothly.

[(E)Inc. -Principle (Loop)]

/bangshead. Thanks for posting instrumentals too :)

[(8bit) Noise Music]

I enjoyed this, I'll be the minority who admits it. The loop transition isn't quite right but I liked it otherwise. Thanks for posting.

Acoustatic responds:

I'm happy you enjoyed it. There's one song that's coming to mind right now that I recommend you check out if you liked this; "Levitation" by Pierre Henry, if you haven't heard it already. He makes a lot of great, unorthodox "Noise Music."

The loop transition is a bit off because the app Nanoloop cuts off a bit of the song when it's exporting, sorry for that :/

[(E)Inc. - Pecheneg]

If this is just the "prototype" I absolutely look forward to hearing the finished version. This had a really fun kind of zombie girl groove. I enjoyed this quite a bit, thanks for posting!

Nevrosia666 responds:

I am very glad you enjoyed this. Yes it is a Prototype since the lyrics are missing
and there's always more room for upgrades.
We really look forward to make this one Meaner than Hell.
Thanks for the comment :D

We're moving in the right direction; I like the concept.

The Negative: Your strings, beginning at :37 are too loud. Instead of complimenting they overtake. Your Synth Melody is barely audible at times due to the strings. Your percussion just sounds flat for much of this. Try adding an extra deep kick during your main rhythmic parts, or adding extra resonance to your existing pattern: something to add depth.

The Positive: This doesn't sound like your usual rushed-style; there was some thought here. The Tempo was good, and the attempt at combining multiple harmonic lines is noted. The chopped up vocals was surprisingly well done.

All in all though, this was better than most of your other postings thus far. Keep it up.

[Grave Digger]

/download. /favorite. /repeat. With the exception the highest pitched melody line, this is one of those tracks that truly deserves the 5th star. From 0:00 - 1:07 I was mightily impressed, and then you grabbed me again at 1:52-2:35. I generally love your melodic lines more than your percussion and support work. Not this time, no, Sir. This has sections of solid ground work and if anyone's head remains motionless throughout - Get The @#$% Out. Keep @#$%ing that Chicken, HeartGrinder. MMMM...Pancakes.

ZLEAP responds:

I almost feel like I'm in touch with my roots with this and multiple projects soon to be released. I am reborn. I am a completely different monster now.

I credit you to a certain extent. You offer understanding in a world I thought was foreign to me. Advice has been taken to heart and I have prospered. Spiritually, of course. Monetary gain will come later as I find my true self and force feed it to to the masses.

Thank you friend.

[Mysterious power]

This sounds like you took the old dial-up modem sounds and made them sound less annoying, but I do like the rhythmic bass here. The percussion is kind of flat, though.
