AeronMusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Riptide]

Holy crapp! What a beatiful and clean mixed song is this. May be one of my favorite song at this moment now. The thick pluck sounds are truly amazing. I've always loved those in (chill) songs sorta like this. The melody also sounds really catchy to me! I love the panflute sound, it's like the one from Nexus, idk. Anyways, what a wonderful song man. Keep up! (:

It's a real shame any promo would ignore this. I would have not, but I don't run any so yeah...
And I know dude. It's hard to get well known these days and especially with original work since a lot of people tend to stay at the generic part of electro. You'd deserve a release on a big label, imo!

Maezo responds:

Wow huge thanks Aeron! Good ear too, that is the panflute from Nexus! :P

[IR - All I See Are Stars]

Oww wow! Didn't expect this! So beautiful. Loving the percussion. Really smooth.
The piano bits in the background are wonderful!! Super good mixing though.
Maybe a little thing what I would have done is giving the clap more reverb in the high frequentions. But that's just me.
Magnificent work dude! Keep up! :D

Indigorain responds:

Aww crap, didn't think about the reverb frequencies! Thanks for that tip, that's really something I can work with! And thanks for the kind words, I still have lots of issues with mixing and volume levels, so that's nice to hear!

[Groovy Funk]

Nice groove ther m8. Op 0:40.... natuurlijk Ghostbusters haha. Ik vind de stereo van de drumkick wel raar klinken door m'n koptelefoon. :)

Voluto responds:

Dankje m8! Ik gebruikte stereo enhancer.. Misschien niet moeten doen hahaha

[Collab: Nightlights]

This one sounds a bit more EDM-ish to me than the usual stuff I hear from you both. But definitely not disappointing! In fact it's catchy as fuck, as for the melody at 0:30.
Keep it up. I hope for more collabs from you guys! :D

[{!RGH} Glitchcore]

Hm not bad. I really dislike the guitars that are panned in my left ear in the intro and later in the song (like at 0:20), quite annoying there. Overall it is somewhat enjoyable but not catchy. Liking the soothing synths!
The only thing I'd recommend is to center the guitars, and mixing them stereo-ish.
Mastering is good, maybe a boost in the high frequentions would make it sound more crisp. Mix feels kinda muddy tho. The structure of the song is actually fine! As I said it IS enjoyable!
I could imagine hearing this in a Supermeat boy level. (:
Keep it up dude!

RyeGuyHead responds:

The panning is definitely a bit off on this one, especially with the guitars.

I'm not sure if you've every used Reason before, but the "rack view" allows you to manually setup all the patching/wiring yourself. This file is old, and I had no idea what I was doing when I started it...so the wiring is all out of whack. I fixed the brass, but I must've missed the guitar. Thanks for pointing that out! (edit - and I just realized the synth bass towards the middle is the same way...)

Super Meat Boy, eh? Nothing wrong with that :D

[Tim Endew - Exquisite(Tease)]

Man je style is ziek, please finish deze! :D

[Funky Jam]

Hahah met welke DAW heb je dit gemaakt?
Grappig nummer lol :D

Voluto responds:

Dankje! Ik heb het met Fl gemaakt, alle geluiden komen van Sampletank 3, geweldige VST!

[Tune of Tempests]

Oh shit forgot to comment on this beautiful piece of work, Step! Still using it as background music for Age of Empires 2 HD (:
The composition in this one is amazing. I love how strong the sound is in the 'busy' parts.
The atmosphere is so damn great and, oh man, the instruments are very crisp, the song is super clean! But I think you wanted to emulate to storm a bit too much, the low distortion at 3:06 is quite harsh.
I don't know why but that strange delayed sound in the end sounds really attractive.
The intro is 10/10 and so is the outro. I fuckin love this song, Stephan, this is pro work. :D

Step responds:

Hey man! So glad you like it, and that you use it as a soundtrack for AoE haha. I suck at that game.

3:06... I agree entirely. Every time I listen back to this track and get to that part, I wonder why I made it so loud and distorted. It sounds really ugly. Good point!

I'm very happy with the intro and outro in this track. I had them in mind before I even began composing a note of this track. I knew exactly how I wanted to start it and end it, and I'm glad it worked out as well as it did.

Thank you!

[~Echo~ Agro (Concept)]

Oh damn, what a beautiful and relaxing song. Great cool melody in this one dude. Perfect synths.
The low frequency would need some more presence and I think the looping could've been much better. Or will you work this out to a full song?
Still, this is an awesome tune. (: Keep up
