iamvdaan's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Endless Trip]

Quite nice. The mix sounds very vertical and wide, and I can tell you put a lot of consideration into frequency layering. The bass synth that comes in at 1:12 has an sound that I can only describe as a mental massage. Thanks for sharing!

alternativesolution responds:

That's just what I was aiming for while mixing :) Thanks!

[Vasa Sus 9]

I loved the development and initial build. The frequency adjustments are appealing and expressive. Overall, I think arpeggiated harmonies with the synths would add some needed texture - but that's a small, stylistic point. I could see this being in a soundtrack for a space game like FTL.

a23spyro responds:

Glad you enjoyed it! My foot's in the door!

[Friends To The End]

In my other life, I play D&D 5th Edition and could totally see myself crying at companion's death... with this song in the background. The distant, somber, minimal piano is effective.

Enzer0 responds:

Exactly how it's meant to feel. Utter sadness, raw and real. Im glad you felt it :D thanks for the review.

[The Calming Motion]

I remember listening to this on Twitter. Your composition sounds great, and the mix is very clean and wide. That bass part and rhythm! :) Only criticism I can give is that I would compress the track a bit more in the master, but that's more of a stylistic opinion.

someplatypusguy responds:

Thanks! I'm planning on going back to this and a couple other tracks after I finish a few more. Might put out a small EP on Bandcamp or something. I definitely want to fix the mix and master a tiny bit.

[Tau]

Seriously beautiful sounds. Are you a warhammer 40k enthusiast? I ask because the Tau are a race in that universe.

nubbinownz responds:

Heh, while I'm definitely aware of the Tau race, the inspiration for the name actually came from Mass Effect :P

[At The Forefront]

That low piano part... wow man... really digging this song. tempo is perfect for the style, and the synth strings are quality. struggling to find some constructive criticism.

Enzer0 responds:

Thanks! Glad you liked it. I appreciate your time so I thank you for commenting bro! :D

[The Journey Home]

beautiful and smooth transitions. :)

Bosa responds:

Thank you.
