AxELdub's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flatline_]

intro is great, not bassy as you hype it up to be in my opinion..>
i also think the song should come to a point where its the peak, and then it drops to that heartbeat sound. to play with your listeners ears.

trunotfals responds:

Thank you I'll take that into consideration! The song is also not finished. I wasn't trying to hype the bass. The reason I said bass required is unfortunately this songs requires that you have a bassy system or bassy headphones. Otherwise, the only bass in the begginning is a sub, which you cannot even hear if you don't have bassy headphones or a subwoofer. I'm working on fixing it without ruining the effect that I like. Thanks for the feedback!

[Monster With-In]

Your transitions need work.
mixing isnt all that great either.
just a bunch of loud generic synths and a bunch of generic growls. Change it up.

RoboKillProductions responds:

Thanks for the advice. I have been trying to find good mixing tutorials out there but had no luck so far. This was already a nightmare to mix due to the growls killing all the others sounds such as the drums. Even with EQing and Sidechianing its still pretty op. I will work on this stuff as time goes on.

[Brain Wave Project]

i like the concept, it sounds very scattered, or toomuch is going on. Tone it down alittle simplicity is always great too.

Hyperion666 responds:

Yeah! I heard what you were talking about. At first I thought you were just trying to 0 bomb this like most NG haters do but, I unplugged my headset and listened with multiple speakers wit and without bass and realized it sounded nothing like how I heard it while I was making it. Thank you for bringing that up to my attention. I just re posted this with the fine tunings. If you can listen again I would love to hear your opinion again. It should sound level now. I have no Idea why it would sound so horrible without headphones hah, glad you noticed it before it got too far in. I was satisfied with an amazing project didn't even think about going back and listening to it multiple ways.

Volume needs some work,
So does the whole melody.
Try having your drop at around 1:00-1:20
it seems like it took long to get there and i kinda lost intrest by the time it got to the drop.

also for the volume, the kick andsnare should be the loudest sounds, not the bass and synths.

CaducusAter responds:

Thank you for the comment. As for melodies, I'm still learning what sounds good to me vs what sounds good to the audience.

I'd like to develop progressive/evolving melodies well, but it's not exactly easy.
