Matt-Porter's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Am I sayn' "Yar"?]

So fucking dumb, and I'm just the right amount of drunk to give this a perfect 5.

TheMillz responds:

Alcohol, is there anything it can't do?

EDIT-- BTW how are things Matt? Been so long we should catch up. What have you been making game wise? I've been killing it on Gamejolt as my alter ego Suits n' Nukes. Maybe we could collab on something again, like old times?

[Mrs. Robinson (Singalong)]

There should have been a midnight sing along to this at Pico Day, with lyrics on the projector near the Twitch stream. My dreams and aspirations for next year aside, great work, I like it a lot.

Step responds:

Hahaha that would've been awesome. Glad you liked it!

We're working on another singalong if you're interested. The song we're covering is Summer of 69 this time round! Should be all done within a few weeks.

[Sparks - UAO Remix]

Someone has officially worked out to this track ;)

SoLoR1 responds:

I know!! This is such a good acapella and it seemed to me no one wanted to use it, thank you for your feedback!!

[Hero of the Day]

Awesome piece, I love it! Parts of this feel like it could be in the intro to a World Ends With You sequel :D

headphoamz responds:

Rad! Thanks a lot Matt. :)

[Lovestruck]

I love how upbeat this is, it definitely brings a smile to the face. Amazing use of sounds, great melody, and a lot of depth here. Side note, this reminds me of the song "I Heart 8-bit", which I also love.

I popped this on for the first time upon waking up, and I instantly turned my speakers up all the way - needless to say, my day has been properly started with a :)

VGSongbird responds:

Yay! Always happy to hear that. Thanks for listening! :D

[SxV - Cyborg Festival]

First off, amazing piece of music here, you captured the feel of Shatterhand excellently. The percussion was very well balanced as far as volume goes, and got the job done. The sounds used for the main melody are excellent, and really helped drive the piece.

Secondly, I had no idea area C was different in the Japanese version. I just did some research, because I absolutely love the NES game, but had no idea what you were talking about when you said "amusement park" theme. I'll have to try out the Japanese version to see all the changes.

ShAdOxViRuS responds:

Haha, to be honest, I didn't even play Shatterhand.
I just really dig the music, so I made this.

Thanks for listening, and I'm glad you enjoy it!

Skills

I've just discovered you, and am pleased with 3/3 songs I've listened to, especially this one. You have a very intricate and unique feel to your music, and it's definitely working for you. I've downloaded a few tracks and will definitely keep an eye on you, song/artist added to favorites, keep it up.

Halotopic responds:

Cheers man =) That´s deeply appreciated.

Thank you for your review!

[Sad Uke Loop]

Credits for sure

I feel like this belongs in the credits to a game or movie that ends right after an "Oh shit!" moment. Get punched in the face with what really happened, then hear this as the screen fades to black and the credits roll. Music sounds good, very clear, very simple, yet addictive.

MikeTaylor responds:

I can see credits. It also kind of reminds me of the song that plays in the demon doors in Fable. Or just any sad moment for any reason. It's also a great song to slit your wrist to. If you play it in a car while driving, you tend to want to see if the guard rail can take the impact of your vehicle doing 80. So I've heard.

[Piano in Apartment B]

Excellent Stuff

I definitely dig the piano in this. The quirky pattern you have going makes my mind tingle, in good ways. The sound is excellent too, you need to talk to me about what sounds you have, and where one can acquire them. I don't have a single good piano sound aside from that of my synth, and I currently can't record that sound while playing, so nothing I play on piano sounds good when I convert it from MIDI. Anywho, excellent piece, I know you could pick this up again by ear, I think you should do so.

MikeTaylor responds:

I think this one was just fruity keys, with a bunch of reverb. Also if you're using fl studio, and not actually playing the piano in the music, it's important to change the volume of some of the keys that need emphasis or not, so it sounds more human. Although, when you do quick arpeggios like in this song, it's difficult to sound human since the timing is so perfect. Try a program called Reason for MIDI instruments. I'll probably re-do this song eventually. Thanks for the review babe-tron. <3

[two glasses of melancholy]

I'll take a Coke and Rum

Very smooth sounding. I'm not a jazz buff, but I definitely appreciate the music, and smooth is how I'd best describe this. I love the clarity of the audio, the use of instruments, the quiet bass, it's all excellent. I think I even hear a pan flute in there, or something of the sort, possibly a regular flute, can't tell. Anyway, awesome piece, nice progression, good stuff.

vibe-newgrounds responds:

Thanks for a detailed responce! :)
