Reaper93's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-:YRX:- ChaozAura]

The reverb...

That guy down there was kind of right. The kick, especially, is very muddled from overapplication of reverb. The snare (e-snare I think) in the beginning half of the song sounds GREAT, very crisp, clean, and puts out a good beat. The melody is good, but again, EVERYTHING sounds reverb'd. I had a huge problem with overapplication of reverb in the beginning of my audio career because it made my song sound "big" and "open", but if you scale back the effect to only a few instruments or a less extreme level overall it'll sound a lot better. As painful as it is, the best songs are made through moderation.

Only boost and cut EQ by a few dB unless you're gonna be cutting all the way, only apply reverb lightly to most instruments, adjust all the velocities of hits slightly, stuff like that really takes time but makes a great song. This has a lot of potential but I can't hear it through all the reverb! Vote rounded up to 4 :)

YouriX responds:

Cool thanks for the input. heck i'll make sure to concentrate more on the mixing now. And i do fully agree with the agruments of milk and so on.
Thanks for the review by the away!

[[AL] Break it down]

I dig it

Something about it, though, feels a tiny bit empty to me. I think it might be a bit too slow tempo-wise for my liking, but it's well mastered and put together for sure.

ChampionAnwar responds:

Thanks for the review! ;D

[[AL] Eternal Struggle]

None too bad

Love it for ambient. Don't even usually like ambient. I'm too tired for a useful review, so you'll have to settle for praise :)

ChampionAnwar responds:

Thank you, i'm glad you like it ^___^. I'll settle for praise any day =P.

[Flying High - Epilogue]

This has great potential

But the big thing here is that the track needs a better mastering job I think. It'd improve clarity by a LOT which is what the track really needs, the instruments are kind of blending into each other way too much. If you'd like some help with that I'd be glad to assist. Voted 4 cause I round up.

Cosmos8942 responds:

Oh I know this one has great potential...but the original file (and its branch files) have disappeared into the wind. Its a bit of a bother...I would love to go back and master this piece as I wasn't finished with it in the first place but without the master track (and all thereof) it'd be too difficult to recreate and thus remaster (etc) everything. So I think I'll just leave it as is...if anybody would like to do something with this feel free but I'm not expecting much x.x.

Thanks for the review, its always nice to get a new one now and then.

[Ressurection.]

Liked the original

This may be a bit on the quiet and minimalist side for me, but I respect the effort.

Maximalyd responds:

Thank you. :-)

[Spaze Unofficial - Stalking Shadow]

Really quite good

I'm not big on the hardstyle bass, but the rest of it I love.

SpazeMusic responds:

Thanks! :)

[Adrenaline Break]

Genre?

Sounds Drum and Bass to me. Maybe too MUCH bass :P

PearlDrummer516 responds:

Yeah, this song is due for some remixing. I'm glad you liked it though.

[CKC - My Anthem]

Gandalf audio clip

At least I think it was. Props on that ;p

Might be a bit distorted, though, should doublecheck volume levels at parts :)

CKC2009 responds:

yh i just changed the pitch of it :)

its too late to check distortion once your song gets 1000 views (i think)

u cant change audio

:(

thanks!!

[Going Wrong [Surge Mix]]

Been waiting for some Surge

Don't feel in the mood for anything with vocals at the moment, but you're definitely back on your groove. Keep the stuff coming, I dig it. Big review forthcoming, possibly for your next piece depending on genre.

CyrusOfNaias responds:

:D
That's great to hear, and more work will definitely be done in the future. People like you keep me going xD

[Snapdragon]

None this time

No monster block paragraphs, I just don't have it in me - been having some sleep problems recently, too tired. But I liked this a lot, very well done. Five'd for taste ;)

NemesisTheory responds:

Thanks, Reaper! :)
I hate Insomnia, btw. :(
