vekoN's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fascist [Neurofunk]]

i've said it before under a different account but i'll say it again: this slaps!

especially relevant here in the usa

Demonicity responds:

have to say i agree with this quite a bit.
hope you have it better soon!

[Prey Slaughtered]

really cool bass! i like the high slide notes, although maybe it's a bit too saturated and prominent in the mix. the pristine synth strings that come in at around 1:40 contrast well with the other distorted sounds. the hip-hop esque drum patterns in the first half also sound fantastic in this context; the switch to more dubstep-esque drums is quite cathartic. overall amazing!

AnxLyen responds:

I am immensely grateful for your affection and feedback 💋 why does this sound sarcastic??? IT ISN'T

[telekinesis]

i love the frenetic mood, and the sound design is really cool too! however, the mix is definitely too saturated, probably due to too much sub bass. i'd try cutting out sub in non-sub instruments and failing that just turn down the sub a bit

SamuraiOwl responds:

that's just about how i feel about it too lol
thanks for listening :)

[Endless War - Niceki]

pretty cool! the melodies are really nice, for being about war and anguish.

i do feel like there isn't enough ambient noise and high mid density in the mix, i'd suggest perhaps using multiband compression or maybe turning down the low mids a bit, and adding more high mids (1-2khz) to the existing elements, to make the whole arrangement hit harder. i think maybe a more ambient section in the middle would have been nice, to balance with the parts with the drums

quite good tho!

Niceki responds:

Thank you very much for the suggestions, these comments are really what motivate me to continue making music. <3

[-Tenement-]

ooh spooky, i do feel like there could be a bit more reverb on everything, but the sound selection is incredibly solid.

Creeperforce24 responds:

I’ll be sure to remember that, even though I used a fuck ton of reverb already 😂

[Obscurity]

pretty little tune with a really cute 808 beat. the piano in the latter half is incredibly soothing and really adds to the atmosphere

Jukestar responds:

Thank you so much! :D

[Leviathan (Radio Edit)]

the melodies sound really cool! i like the general atmosphere and progression, especially the dubstep part

i do feel the mix is very flat and muddy though. the drums don't really pop out all that well either. but overall it's nice!

Synfang responds:

I suppose that's fair, all things considered. Regardless, thanks for the feedback!

[E. ....]

really good! i like the vivid quality and timbre of the sounds. also the climax sounds amazing, very satisfying payoff
