AeronMusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Ghost Slayer [DUBSTEP]]

What is that bubble/rising sounding sample at 0:50-0:54? I recognize it from the beginning of this song, but just in a different pitch. this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVU_loTEeVk

It's got some catchy feeling but still needs work on the mixing.

Anitrik responds:

Yes it looks the same ! That sample comes in the Vengeance Essential Dubstep pack, well I found it here at least. It's called Uplifter 11 if you download the pack ;)

Thank you for your advice ! ^^

[Exile]

Melodies are on point. You still need to do a lot of work on the mixing and mastering (it's missing low-end). Also, it just sounds kinda dull. I think you could've use more effects like risers and sweeps. The same goes for the atmopshere. It just needs to be more lively in this song in my opinion.

Nevertheless, It's a pretty cool song. So keep it up!

Miyolophone responds:

Thanks AeronMusic! Yes, I still have a lot to work on with mastering, and I really, really need to remember that my headphones boost the lows... and I also didn't think to add those kinds of effects, but I'll try them, I do thing they could add something. (Some better VSTs wouldn't hurt...) And I'm glad you liked the melodies, those are my strong suit. Thank you for the review!

[Ode to a Woman]

Sweet <3

[The City of Gold]

Damn, this is really epic, Step. Awesome work! (: Really loving the action after 2:17.
I don't know what to write more. It's perfect in my opinion.

Step responds:

Thanks, man! That's great to hear.

[The Journey Home]

This piece is wonderful. Especially the bit after 1:38 with the piano. Brought me back some good memories! Magnificent work guys. Goodluck!

bassfiddlejones responds:

Thanks man! Glad you enjoyed it. :)

[The House by the Cemetary]

Woaah. This is perfect. I really love dark themed stuff like this, especially when the action come in at 1:52! I think it actually sounds full enough. More instruments would really make it messy and all.
My favorite part is at the end with the piano, for sure.

The rain sample is actually a good filler (for the high freq). It sounds quite strange as a listener if it suddenly fades away due to the fact that the rain sample is taking a lot of attention (to me at least).

All in all, this is such a masterpiece. Excellent work.

Azhthar responds:

Hey! Thanks a lot for the nice feedback! I know what you mean with the strange feeling when the rain disappears. It was actually an accident at the beginning because I just put in the rain sample for a few bars and then just continued composing. When I then heard the effect that it suddenly sounds a bit hollow I liked that. I had the feeling it pulls you a bit into the music which is a bit more in the background before...

[Oak - Mobius (NGADM'15)]

Zoals de eerste comment al aangeeft, de lows zijn veel te zacht. Als je de sub echt veel harder had gemaakt was dit een beatport nummer 1 dance track geweest. De melodie is daarentegen echt heel goed en catchy. Vind de arp ook helemaal mooi. Sowieso zeer vet dat je zingt voor je eigen nummer, vind het wel bonus punten waard!

Oakwood responds:

Thanks man! Ja die sub, geen idee. Zoals ik al zei, de focus lag meer op melodie en structuur dan de sub. Bedankt voor de review!

[(NUB) Dont Leave]

Nice glitchy drums in the start dude! Love the melody a lot. Seems like the bass and the sidechaining are a bit too harsh for the overall mix. But still well done! (:

nubbinownz responds:

truth be told, I'm not done with the mix, but i have a conference I have to go to and have run out of time to work on it :(

[Chip 'n' Swing]

Oh my... This stuff is top notch. Melodic wise this is sick! Super catchy chiptune at its best. Especially after around 1:35... Shieet, so good <3! Now I should go back and try to finish my piece because I have hard times finishing stuff, as usual. (:

Yahtzei responds:

Thank you! :D catchy must be a good thing, right? ^^ all the best things in the world are catchy. With obvious exceptions... still, I doubt ebola or the plague could win NGADM on catchiness alone.

Good luck finishing your piece, man :) I look forward to hearing it.

[-ThunderZone v2-]

Yess, I guessed it right. I knew it would be this song. Seriously in love with this piece! I hope so to see a Time Machine 2 in the future as that is my all time fav from you. (:
Keep it up man.

Waterflame responds:

Thank you! :)
