XenoxX's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Barnaby Rave (WIP)]

Well

I don't think this deserves a 0 But In my oppinion this could you loads of work.

Main synth is terrible ( No Offense ) Sounds like a Nexus Preset to me but the point is this song needs more dynamics. A better kick Better choice Of drums. I didn't Hear any bass actually.

Also I suggest Looking at the layout of your song and think of how you want people to inter-put it cause for me it didnt have a underlying story just random patterns

As it is I can see your fairly amateur in the process of mixing / mastering and I would suggest looking up some tips in the areas of Compression Proper EQ'in Limiting. Maybe in future projects think of how each sounds with one an other make sure there are no conflicts.

I hope this Helps and was in no way meant to be harmful Just my opinion

Have A Great Day

Pizzaroma responds:

I could've not used a preset, but I personally did like it. In retrospect, the song really could have used a bass line.

As far as layout, it's not exactly random, but I don't agree that songs have to have "underlying stories". A lot of good songs don't.

As far as the mixing - I should've used some panning (it's all mono), and a little bit of EQ and compression. Although... what did you use to listen to the song? Listening on certain headphones or on speakers could have an effect on the sound.

Thanks for the review, was hoping on more useful suggestions though, but anything I can get is good...

[[LK] Our Dream]

Yo.

So here we go kinda a long review but I think this song could use some work and heres what i think you should look into...

First off let me say that Nexus is never the way to go I mean its good for some background stuff but the leads and pianos are well over used so much its sad and again the pianos just really don't sound that good with out some serious work done to them and I know its just there to show where the singer will be at but still for the future I would suggest finding a new vst to use for Leads and the more important parts of a song, Like the piano

OK so my personal opinion is that this song doesn't really have much variation I mean you have break downs and what not but really the song follows the exact same melody and to me that kinda makes it boring like for example if you go to the end of the song and let it loop the the beginning its pretty well the same...

well anyways another thing I Noticed is around 35 seconds when the piano is hitting the chords it seems to have some clipping on the pad maybe need to work on that some and the fact that you lead and pad basically sound the same just one has a longer sustain time so the kinda sound like there onto of each other...

And the last thing it that you have so much going on how the higher frequencies that the lower ones are really week such as the bass and kick and also you Hi-Hats Also seem to be blending with your pad and lead.

So In the end I don't think the song is bad I just think you need to give it more variation and master it a lot more and maybe choose so different samples I know nexus sounds good but its over used and makes you look amerture

SO yeah don't mind my typing I am horrid at it lol

5/5
8/10

Have A Great Day!

LK412 responds:

First of all thanks for the nice review.

Ya, my mixing/eq-ing/mastering was awful when i made this. It's improved but not by a whole lot, so i need this.

As for the variation, this song was supposed to have vocals, so i made it with that in mind. It never really panned out so i was left with this.

Ya, i used nexus a crap load cuz i just got it when i made the song, so that is why there is a shit load of that in there XD.

I will DEFINITELY keep this mixing/mastering tips in mind, i really need to learn.

Again, thanks for the awesome review!

Yo!

So look sorry I took so long to write this been a busy week for me lol!

But anyways Man this is aWesomeness right here I was pretty surprised to see this to be honest but yeah just never had a dedication before...

Anyways I really enjoyed the melody I like my music to have a unique melody And you seemed to have accomplished that so awesome work there

awesome work man thanks so much!

PS: My favorite instrument to use is a piano but its still amazing with out it lol.

Awesome job :)

XenoxX :)

Michael425 responds:

It's cool man. Us producers can fall behind on things easily. I thought it was fitting to make a song in attempts to match some of the feeling I hear in your songs. Especially after listening the 10-20 songs of yours I have in my iTunes. Glad you enjoyed it. And I also had a version with a piano intro, but it didn't feel as complete as this one. Thanks for the great review man.
