acheney's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sticks n stones]

it's alright, it does feel kind of empty though. this could use some mastering or some additional loudness

FirechompGD responds:

Thanks! I lack some samples/presets since I'm using my brother's phone and it's been a while since I made a song tho.

[Somewhere in Nevada (10th Draft)]

i came here from the review for review thread. i really like this song! it's very atmospheric and calming. i personally can't see how this would remind me of madness, but it's a great song nonetheless

in terms of the whole song, everything is good. the mixing is immaculate, i don't see any problems with it. the melodies are pretty and have nice variation

for individual elements, i like the fm-y chords at the beginning with the tape delay on them, and the distorted pad in the background that appears shortly afterwards creates a nice sense of contrast. the drum pattern gives a nice flow, though perhaps there should be some variation. i think it should be louder too. the filtered chords with what sounds like a trance gate gives this a nice atmosphere as well. i really like the ending, where everything is filtered out and then reappears with heavy reverb

overall, i think that is a beautiful song, though perhaps i'm biased towards this genre of music anyway. keep at it!

[Jungle Dominator]

fun to dance to, i like the piano chords too

[Hopeless]

the reverb is really cool, though i do wish there was a little less of it. the melody sounds really pretty, and it seems pretty appropriate for a song called "hopeless"

thedqrkmage responds:

I'll try to make the reverb less muddy, I was kind of in a rush. The melody follows the poem entirely by the way. Thanks for the feedback!

[Full, the void]

really cool thing going on with the delay on the drums and the tempo increasing. do wish it was longer

SomebodysHero responds:

Thanks man and yeah I sorta wish it was too but just felt like I needed to pull the trigger on it Haha

[WENSDAY [NGSWC 20020[]

you and corey feldman should collab

Saltbearer responds:

OMG thanku!!!!!!!!! for saying that, cory feltman is amone of my BIGEST inspertions

[Odd-time-signature test]

great experiment! it went very well! my only wish is that this was longer. is it in 5/4, by any chance?

gdalkali responds:

Thank you! :D I might work on an update that extends this song in the future. As for what time signature it is, I don't know as I'm not very good with music theory and that kind of thing - but it's 7 bars before it gets to the percussion section (Sorry I couldn't be more helpful!)

[3029]

really cool glitchy dubstep, love the use of samplerate crushing to make a nice "digital degradation" feel. maybe there could be some pads or something else in the background to fill up empty space, but that's my taste

CorruptModule responds:

Thanks! This was kinda of me still testing out serum I’m glad you enjoyed!

[H~ "Fading Away"]

maybe you could reduce the ringing a little, but i really love the melody and concept, like vapor-chiptune or whatever
