Jacob's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Electric Vibes]

Ha! 80's as heck. Those toms are hilarious.
I really like all of your leads - the EQ in particular. They sit in a really nice spot, so it feels good to listen to. Except maybe the arp at 1:01, which might have felt better panning from side to side. It's a little too harsh to remain in one narrow space. But that's nitpicking.

It would have also been cool to hear this strip back down before the end, and build more at the climax than in previous iterations of the pattern. Might've provided better resolution. Then you could strip it back down to the bass and the drums before hi-passing it down and fading it out.

Great world you've created, man. I like it a lot.

EddLioni responds:

Hey thanks for that long review, I will take your suggestions in consideration for future projects. Thanks!

[Digex - Universe]

You've got some Zelda vibes going here! Really clean and soapy. I love how everything works together, and you maintain interest with movement throughout.
Great stuff, man. I'd maybe like for a synth or two to pan off to the side more, maybe a little oscillation as well. The center of the mix starts to hurt after awhile, especially with that hard kick.
I'll be looking out for more from you!

DigexGD responds:

Thanks :)

[GamerHead]

I really like the bounce on this one. And Shreddage 2 sounds amazing. Good biz, Whiz!

DESHIEL responds:

definitely a step up from FL slayer :D

[Mind Waves]

Absolutely beautiful. I wanted it to die out a little sooner than it did, maybe quieting the main pad as well. It sort of lost its impact after awhile, and I wanted to retreat from the onslaught. Cut out some of that meat, and I think this is incredible.

RedSoul92 responds:

You're right, it does work better as a shorter piece. It also gave me the chance to polish the mix, thanks.

[Trap Nation]

Ha! Looking at shiny, spinning sports cars. It'd be cool to hear you play with the off-beat a little more on this, but I totally see how that could betray the style.
Also, the sine wave that comes in around 1:46 is absolutely horrifying. It sounds like you accidentally moved it down from its original key or something. I could see it working with the right pitches, but as is it's not listenable.
The rest is p clean, tho. Digging the big-verb you've got going. Maybe put an empty clip at the end of the track to let it ring out.

zandermaddox responds:

Thanks for the feedback in my next track I will hope to improve

[Acid Max]

Funky tune-a sandwich, man. Would've liked some higher sounds thrown in to fill out the mix at some point, maybe a little pan-play on the groove in the percussion.

zandermaddox responds:

Thx for the feedback

[Space Race (by.Billis23)]

Digging it! Sounds like you just put a bunch of loops together - but if so, you chose the right ones.
I would've liked a change of chord or key at some point, preferably higher so that it could come back down when returning to stasis. I never really felt like the race started - more like cameras were shooting us from different smoldering angles before we started. Or maybe like we were where the race was - but it was more the ambiance than the focal point? I dunno, point is, chord progressions are cool.

Gave you a scout. I'll see you in the portal.

Billis23 responds:

Thank you for your opinion , i'll keep that in my mind btw it was semi loops some notes are hited from me

[endK - Wicked Lab]

Funky! I love the little growls you're getting out of the crush. Kept me hooked and wanting for more.

endKmusic responds:

Much thanks!
There's more catchier stuff heating up in the oven though. ^_-

[Lightning]

Yo! Solid screen creation with the mixing. The painting is really clear.
Shit goes hard. Reminds me a little of xKore.
Keep it up!

Hippokopter responds:

I have no plans of stopping. xD

Thanks for the review! :p

[Xrus & ∀malgamation - Burst [UPDATED]]

Hey! Neat. FL Studio Mobile is a great app for progressive digital house.
I'd recommend playing with the off-beat a lot more. That's how you'll get a groove out of your rhythms, and get people dancing a little. A little hat action is great for that, and predictable things like melodies and chord progressions benefit as well. Maybe add a snare or clap when you've hit climactic moments with all the bass hitting.
But you've got a nice sound here. It's a pleasant perspective.

Skiddle responds:

Thanks a lot Jacob! We'll definitely benefit from your criticism :D
