Kylethedarkn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[WoolyScarf - Adrenaline Rush]

Okay, second part after the little break is really nice. Only critiques are that it's a little repetitive, so throw some minor melody variations to make it flow better and the mix needs some work. Great job!

DJ-Halit responds:

Thanks! I'll be sure to try and make the melody a little less repetitive.

[wip]

Very nice wip. I like the automation leading up to a pretty catchy melody. Keep going at it, it's got potential.

ThatIronSquid responds:

Thank you! :D
I hope it doesn't end up being pathetic xD

[RPG Town Loop]

Zero Bombers listen to reason?

Like that'll ever happen. If it's not heavy metal of dnb they hate it!

XD

This is alright, the synth is a little loud compared to the drums and the whole thing is a bit too repetative to not get annoying in an actual looping videogame setting. Bot the actual melody is townesque.

Ethmiester responds:

Yeah, I know, they really don't.
You can tell already by it's current score.
Or I could just really blow at making music.

[Precious.]

Well now.

Came in expecting ska, but whatever not a big issue. As far as the song goes the melody is a little random. I'm sure it isn't but it seems to be lacking motivation or a real emotional influence. That would be fine if it were catchy enough, but I don't think it is. Also the piano you used for it seems slightly out of tune. That or you used some notes that clashed.

At around 1:35 there's a really nice breakdown, that sound good till around 1:50 where the piano came back in.

Also the snare could be brought out a little more.

Cuzone responds:

Lol yeah it's out of tune, right. :P

[There Is a Storm Brewing]

Good but....

This is good, however I think it could be twice as good if you added more interesting percussion and transitions and also used better samples than the midiesque ones you used. Good base though.

phatham responds:

it is midi :( i can't afford to buy any crap , i use a free program called tuxguitar for all of my music i write the scores then export the midi, edit it in audacity and try my best to make it sound nice, sorry if its not good enough, but i can't change that

[Evergreen Interlude]

Needs some work, but good

The Drums sound off tempo at some parts. I'm assuming you recorded yourself playing them? If so I would redo them to get them right.

The bass guitar in the background is a bit quiet and the lead guitar needs to be quieted just a little bit. Just so it isn't blaring.

Other than that the composing sounds good, but over the song sounds a bit empty. Maybe add a rhythm guitar to the mix?

metallicx66 responds:

The drums are spot on, it's just the guitar that's off. And the off you're probably hearing is the offbeat quarters on the hi-hat.

Well when I mixed the track, I can hear the bass perfectly. And I intentionally made the guitar louder.

Mixing more of a middle sound is that what you're saying?
