vekoN's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[untitled prompt]

deep and spacious! i like it :)

i think a proper outro would have been nice though

[Microbead Percussive Edit]

headphones highly recommended; those beads are rattling in my skull!

[embrace the empyrean]

groovy! the arrangement is absolutely splendid, i love how everything comes together nicely in the end. to be apt, the melodies and harmonies are also quite heavenly. the drums are simple but still get your head nodding. overall fantastic!

also maybe at this rate in about a year you'll make a twenty minute long song :)

wineplume responds:

21 minute song sounds impossible to me... but who knows... thanks for the review by the way

[october mood swings]

i love autumn! it's my favorite season

i love this song too, i like the breakdown in the middle, and the melodies are surprisingly uplifting while also having a tinge of melancholy. maybe the kick drum could have been a bit louder or have had some sidechain, and maybe there could be more background pads and ear candies, but the songwriting is very solid.

wineplume responds:

i love autumn, too (right now it's snowing where i live LOL)
thanks for the review!

[Permadeath]

the bitcrushing on this is really cool! it makes it almost feel like a song from an old video game OST

the acid lines sound awesome, and i like the machinery sounds in the background, they really sell the technoid feeling.

[one80 - Capri-Sun]

very citrus-y, orange, acidic, all these things, in a way

personally i do hear a giant hole in the spectrum in the mids, like they're not loud enough. other than that though everything is very solid! i like the juxtaposition of the ravey stabs and modern basses

[{Rooldook} Ignition]

cool blocky sound design as usual, neat take on the genre, quite nice for being done in four hours! the exponential rhythm into the drop at 2:50 sounded amazing! the brief halftime switchup afterwards sounded really cool too!

[Mutual Dreams]

pretty neat oldschool edm vibes here, i like the sort of "hammer-iness" of the arrangement, the way the chords and bass hit at the same time as the kick. the piano solo at the end is very good too! the little fills and details throughout are very nice as well. i do think the kick could stand out a bit more, maybe through more sidechaining or a high shelf on the kick. also maybe more generally the mix could use a tad more high end (especially the bass, though this may just be my taste)

ImmyShack responds:

Yo! Thanks for the review.

I'll try boosting the high end. If you must know I added bass boost to the bass, which is the reason its not so present in the high freqs.

Is the kick not powerful enough?! Literally every instrument is sidechained as well as kick being almost the loudest instrument in the mix.

[Trash 06 (EDM Experiment)]

ooh, the chords in the drop are really cool! i don't remember that from the wip versions.

all in all cool tune!

[Chocnoon - ESCAPE GEDAGEDIGEDAGEDAYO PRISON IN ROBLOX (DCVIII)]

i do not like the song name

cool tune, if maybe a little generic. i do appreciate the trancey y2k vibes! the melodies are nice, although the mix does feel a bit flat, and i do feel like there aren't enough breaks in the melody and drums at the end of the phrases to keep you on your toes. i feel like maybe some saturation on the master or mix busses would help make the tune more full. lastly maybe the vocal samples are a bit loud? but cool tune otherwise

darkmangopsychology responds:

I'll keep in mind that. Thank you for the feedback!

Also, I've forgot to add a lil pattern, so 2:45 is kinda offbeat
