iNiNEPT's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Dream]

This could be really cool as soundtrack music. A couple notes.

1. That background synth (bass/humming thing?) is really overwhelming the mix the in the 200-500hz range. If you EQ that down a tad, I think that'd go a long way.
2. That plucking (guitar?) there are couple chords that sound off and aren't landing right (@1:06 and 1:28 and 1:36, 1:37)

If you play around with those two things, you'd take it from a 3.5 to a 4.

But otherwise, really cool and moody atmosphere.

badusername77 responds:

Thx for the advice, I’ll be sure to fix the chords and volume as well as in a later song :) I’ll probably shout you out too

[System Check]

I really like it's just missing two things:
1. That one beep noise is a little too loud
2. It would benefit from some vocals

RedCocoa responds:

Thanks for your feedback, glad you liked the song :)

1. I assume you are talking about the melody in the second part of the song. That sound is indeed fairly high pitched and loud but I personally like that it kind of rises over the rest of the mix and plays its own thing for a bit. It just felt right to have the melody kind of independent from the rest of the track. But hey, that's my personal preference and you are completely allowed to have your own.
2. In the almost 10 years I've been making music I have never used vocals. I am way more comfortable expressing myself through sound design and instruments and I don't like my singing voice so I can confidentially say that the song would have probably been worse had I put vocals in. But hey, the stems are available in the song description, if you want to add some to prove me wrong you'd be more than welcome to do that :D

I really like the sound and chord progression. I would note that high pitched lead synth could use some modification. It's a little repetitive and too prominent at times. It could benefit from either going in and out or changing pace. Just shake it up a bit. Otherwise, good composition and good mixing.

keez7 responds:

Thanks for the review, I'll keep it in mind for future projects :)

[Thunderhead]

Very relaxing track, but could definitely use some clean up on the mixing. It sounds like there's some clipping in the audio. Good job for a first song!

Enteiiro responds:

Sorry about this talking such a long time to respond to, I don't use this site often enough. Thank you very much for the feedback, I really appreciate it!

[Slide Me That Daiquiri Mane]

Damn this beat is smooth.

Vlone-Dolphyn responds:

Appreciate that my guy

[blend [remastered]]

I took off a star, cuz you shoulda labeled it Drake type beat.

reminiscencegj responds:

i would say tyga, its got that "Taste" bounce :p

[photoshoot]

I don't understand why people are downvoting this. It's really good.

reminiscencegj responds:

old man in the comments does NOT know what autotune sounds like lollll thank you!

[Boom Bibbity Bap]

I think you're on the verge of a really good track here. My only suggestion would be to change the instrument you're using for the melody. I would experiment around, but for some reason, the one you have right now is a little grating on the ears and is muddying the mix. Nothing wrong with the notes, just that particular instrument choice. Otherwise, I love the rhythm and the pulsar is a very different but cool touch.

EDIT: I think the reason that instrument is bad is because of the echo on it. I think that echo might be hurting the mix.

Squarion responds:

I totally get what you mean about the echo, I had a delay plugin stacked with the synth's built in delay lol.

[Rewind]

Hey I really like the tune and the sound design. I think a couple of things could take it to the next level. The percussion would benefit from being a little more generic in rhythm. Like the snaps make it seem off. I think if you made the snaps more like a generic latin or hip hop that would make it better for having a lyricist on it. Also less reverb on the percussion snaps would help make the mix a little less muddy.

GlowBoyMusic responds:

Thank you for your suggestion and review! I am not very strong in percussion, but I plan to expand on that in future projects, so this is useful.

[spooooky]

This, while very simple in composition, is very intense and effective. Would you mind if I used this at some point in the future?

Typewriter7051 responds:

sure no problem :)
