Lot7even's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Resize]

It's not that wack really. I mean the intro is a pretty spot on intro other than that the snare at 00:27 etc is kinda weird and out of place.
I have no qualms with the buildup or anything.
The drum could use some drums that aren't super fast and maybe louder a bit punchier. Just an opinion.
Ya this is pretty nice tho.
EDIT: Lol that does sound wierd. I mean the drum part could be faster.

Erso responds:

Thank you for the review. This is the only snare I preferred using here.

What do you mean the drum could use some drums...?

[X3ll3n - Eternal]

Woah, there are some pretty nice mastering and mixing techs here. Nice and clean.
I think it could have used a nice but more interesting synth in every other part but the drop, as it seemed a little generic. The drop also felt a little loose, maybe some bass and sidechaining?

X3LL3N responds:

Maybe I'll add a sidechain when I'll get my new earpods.
Also I agree for the synths but I don't have many c:

[Minecraft - Moog City (Felix Zophar Remix) [V2]]

Holy shit this is INSANE!

Like honestly I can't give anything but praise to this!

FelixZophar responds:

Oh, thank you! Here's a live video of it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QzrTUahRQoQ

00:28 that was a little abrupt.

I see you've gotten into future bass. Huh.
My main complaint is that the lead in the drop is too loud and up-front in the drop and the chords don't have much high end. Nice other than that.

Hippokopter responds:

Yeah, I'm working on mixing. I've got a metalstep-ish thing in the works, so it's not like I'm totally going future bass. I just had to figure out how to make a dubstep bassline well... xD

[Modern Dubstep Wip]

Ey, this is pretty epic.
The only problem IMO is the misuse of basses.
If you listen to Virtual Riot, (probably the best dubstep producer in the game right now) you'll notice his patterns often include a certain formation of basses, such as in Pray for Riddim, or Cry some more. He likes to have a low growl, high bass, medium pitched bass, slightly lower bass, fill growl, start over. I'm not saying you should copy this pattern exactly but I am saying you should work on adding some dynamic and pitch and frequency range to your dubstep. For instance, use lots of Flange and comb filters in serum or whatever plugin this is, and overall put lots of variation in your basses while keeping a pattern that makes sense.
Oh, one more thing.
I know this is a WIP, but the effect of the buildup isn't as good without some weird shitty high-pitched basses and risers. Just an opinion though.

Songs to notice bass patterns in:
Pray for Riddim (Virtual Riot)
Shindeiru (Virtual Riot)
Cry Some More (Virtual Riot)
Dog Fight (Virtual Riot)
Degenerates (Virtual Riot)
Warriors of the Night (Virtual Riot + Datsik) This one is particularly interesting at 2:32 here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FqxWTJhBMyQ

Just some thoughts, nice job getting into the dubstep game man. Welcome to hours of trying to design a bass that sounds like a crying baby xD

TrickshotMusic responds:

So i appreciate the amount of time you put into the reveiw, and it really astonishes me about how supportive the fine folks at newgrounds are. But any way i dont listen to much Virtual Riot, but i do love the songs that ive heard such as Lunar, Pray For Riddem, and Energy Drink. This is also my first attempt at "Modern Dubstep" as ive usually done old 2013 spag heddy themed tracks with a producer named Froej. Ive dabbled mainly in melodic dubstep and found that the resualt is much better with Modern and extremely dirty dubstep. But as most other songs like to throw everything away and make a hardcore drop. I mainly themed this over Wubbix's "How To Make Dubstep" Tutorial as that has help me alot and if you watch it you could tell i took a bit of inspiration from that. Though i did want to make a pattern i did use Virtual Riot's "Call and Response" Method which is mainly Splitting the drop into different sections and having each section reflect on each other. Anyway Since the 8th grade Language Arts Essay is out of the way I want to say thank you for this reveiw

[T.E.O.M. - Grustler (Produced By TheEyeOFMusiK)]

Ok, here I am.

Good things:
I think you have a clear idea of what you wan't to accomplish with the piece and you follow through with the guitar and synthesis. I think you have a somewhat clear of mixing. etc.
Bad things:
Nothing too significant. The mixing is mostly on point. I think the only problem is how repetitive it is. I get that its a hip-hop beat, but not much new happens throughout the entire piece.

I don't really know why you asked me here, you've been doing this way longer than me xD

[Felix Zophar - Healed]

Pretty Nice.
I guess one problem is the snare at 00:22 etc. It's slightly off-timbre and off-pitch if that makes sense.

I really like the sound design you used here and how the piano chords are so low. The fills also fit right in with the song.
At 2:11 the supersaw chords are a little low and interfere with the kick and bass. Maybe that what you were going for, not sure.
Anyhow, nice job.

FelixZophar responds:

Thanks my dude!
