FortressLord's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dreamhacker]

Amazing intro with the fading in digital melody, but I feel it gets repetitive until the climax (which is perhaps too far towards the end) also ends abruptly.

The tune and drums are very good though, so it still gets an ALMOST perfect score.

[Detious & Lockyn - Gradient]

Rhythmic and fun, and a satisfying length. Maybe one or two parts are high pitch, but I don't care, it's too good to get any lesser rating!

Lockyn responds:

Thanks man! We're glad you enjoyed. Look out for some future collabs ;) Cheers!

[Sequence]

Love all of it, particularly the tune at the climax, reminds me well of something I've heard, and the track is, to me, Deadmau5's beat style with Pendulums melodies at a few parts with something truly unique floating around in there.

If you (Lockyn) come to read this, would you mind telling me at least some of the plugins and effects used for the leads? Thanks for not only if you tell me, but for simply putting this song up for us!

Lockyn responds:

Hey! Thanks for the review, I'm overwhelmed that you compared it to Deadmau5 or Pendulum xD Whole different league than me, but I appreciate the sentiment :)

I would totally tell you what plugins and effects I used, but it would be kind of hard for me to do that since I made everything from scratch. There are no presets in this song! I can tell you that I used Sytrus to make a lot of the basses, pads, arps, leads, and I used some Harmless and Toxic Biohazard as well. As for effects, to explain without getting too technical here, I used copious amounts of EQ and Fast Distortion on a lot of the sounds. What I said here doesn't describe everything accurately, but I hope I at least satisfied some of your curiosity. If you'd like to know more, please PM me!

Thanks again, and cheers :)

[Master - Finally!]

Almost perfect, melodic, fun yet dark, decent length, has bass, and a proper ending.

4.7/5!

[Something About Coffee]

Shame it gets a tiny bit dull around the middle and ends abruptly, because this is so atmospheric, chill and a good sort-of-remix towards the end.

[Trance test thingy]

Sounds professional, and I am pretty sure that tune is at least inspired by ParagonX9's Chaoz Fantasy, but it doesn't sounds stolen.

Octrox responds:

That might be possible, although I didn't think of that track while making this :)

[Twisted Candy *FULL*]

Really intense and bassy, a tad chaotic later on, almost too much, and also the ending is a bit too sudden for me, taking off half a star, but hey, no music is perfect, I should know first hand.

Still deserves an almost perfect score!

MadhouseDUDE responds:

Extended the track with a melodic part at the 3 minute mark. Enjoy :)

[No More Enemies (Full)]

I think my Sony Bass Enhancement Headphones have turned into Epicfaces.

[Masters of The Universe]

HUGE bass and thrilling rhythm! Good stuff. 4.5 *, and straight to my music library with your new artist folder!

[Enter The Raminox]

Just like MuscularPancake, I have bassy headphones (one of the Sony Bass Enhancement).

So yeah lots of bass and enjoyable listening for a track that you could still dance to.

I gave this one 5 Stars! Even though the first Raminox part is a bit harsh to the ears when it first comes on, I love the song too much to give it anything less than perfect score.
