Jacob's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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 :)

[XS - Running]

I LOVE the use of that vocal sample. The rhythm, pitch, and pan execution were all excellent. I dig the direction you take around 1:31, and I'd like to hear that transform into a drier, more present mix at 1:50 for a period of faster paced movement. That'd really warrant the release into either what you currently have at 1:50, the bridge, or both - and the last go-around would carry a lot more resolution.
One way or another, my head just wants to hear this go somewhere. Like we're a group of fighter-types being risen from the ground in tubes like elevators, but we never reach the daylight. It's just... a big industrial cavern that we never fully ascend.

[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

[F-777 - Medusa]

Yoooo! Going hard here. Good work adding enough diversity to both the rises and drops to keep things interesting. A little more glitch-play on the resonant bass you've got there would be really cool on the last come around - sorta like dropping the drop.
Would've also been cool for the pads to drop out at 1:53 instead of going straight into the very full bridge you've got - just a little break of comparative emptiness so we can appreciate the build.

You've never not been dope, man. Never stop doing your thing.

[Game Grinder]

1:09 rocks my socks to all hell.
You always hit hard with the lo-fi industrial metallic vidja game bang boomers.

[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

[Hog Ride (helito6x3)]

You have a really fun compositional style! I like the forward momentum you maintain. It's like I'm spinning through rings.
