NekoMika's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Well I'll just leave]

Interesting remix, her vocals sound like they are in a big empty room. The chopped-up vocals, while interesting; sound a little spooky to me. :o

Aside from the vocal chopping sounding spooky, everything else sounds pretty good. The beat is really damn nice.

Best of luck in the contest!

DarkHorseOrchestra responds:

Thank you!

[Snowfall]

Super soft melody, feels like a mix of drum and bass and dance put together. :)

Namice responds:

Thanks! I'd say that this is mainly dance but the breakbeat gives some dnb vibes.

[Demon Heart]

The rhythm seems too simplistic. Your other beats are pretty damn nice but this one just feels really out of place to me overall. The rhythm is not bad but I feel you could do so much more with it. Would not be out of place as music for a platformer game though.

Syntrus responds:

As this website has a number of platformer games I’ll take that as a compliment. Often when I’m working on music and struggling with variation I workshop it with other users one of these users almost lost his access to this site. Community is very important to everyone’s success.

[FM 09 - Digital Lemon]

Seems like it would fit right into a Shantae or MegaMan game, glorious content. Is that some Touhou instruments I hear being used? :D

Pheanir responds:

Thank you for the kind words. =)

Yes, Touhou was and still is my main inspiration for composing.
You're right, I use instruments from a synthesizer that's used for original Touhou music.

[In Commission (Acapella)]

Pretty damn good flow, while I understand it is a commission showcase and an acapella, feels like it would be more natural with a background beat.

Cyberdevil responds:

Yeah a beat really would make this sound better. :) Just so much quicker putting out something like this, but I agree. Hope to do more with music this year.

[Maximum]

Good tune but the snaps feel completely unfitting for the rest of the song.

YoungRAY responds:

Thank you for listening to this song and giving me feedback :)

[Plus19]

Relaxing and just makes you feel like the day / night is going to be alright in the end.

Surkol responds:

Quack Quack! 🦆

[Elastic]

This is a pretty laid-back track, strangely kind of reminds me of early 2000s hip-hop tracks but without any vocals added to it. Smooth and chill audio, nice.

Shima33 responds:

Feel free to cut a verse or two over it if you're that way inclined. Thanks for listening!

[Bitch Lasagna (Remix)]

This is a pretty damn slick remix, the only issue being a lack of clean vocals but like you said in an earlier review, somewhat hard to find a clean-cut acapella version of the vocals. Hope future content is even better. The kicks, while layered, could be changed for something far stronger I think - either when the bass drops or just changing them out overall for the whole song.

DipperMcFlipper responds:

thanks dude yeah the vocals are a bit fucked up i tried to find a clean acapella but its not possible

btw i have 2 song ready for upload so stay tuned!

[i9incher - Destiny Bound]

I was just thinking of your content earlier today and came across an older track, decided to see if you were still on Newgrounds. What a shock it was to see you are becoming active again. Hopefully you can make more good stuff as you always have this year!

Feels like your style has changed a bit too. I almost want to think the hi-hat could be changed out for a different hi-hat but that was the only thing that stood out to me as being a little out of place. Cannot wait to hear more stuff!

i9incher responds:

Thanks for that. I think they might be too loud so I'm going to try adjusting their volume. I'm still editing this to try and get it just right. What I used to do is use soundcloud for demos, then upload final projects to hear and Youtube. I used to think everyone just kept up with me on Newgrounds but I have found more and more people use Youtube to try and keep up with me. So what I plan on doing is uploading tracks to Newgrounds, get feedback, upload the final project and then also upload it to YouTube. hopefully this can help me improve a lot of things and allow me to make more songs. Thank you for the feedback!
