Jacob's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Your Everyday Happycore]

The middle was actually my favorite part, by far! But the whole thing is a lot of fun. It's interesting that the resonance of the chord, reinforced by several voices, is almost always louder than the leads. It puts me in a trance, despite being so upbeat.
Really nice work!

Noisysundae responds:

The meter actually told me its level was equal to other instruments, but I trusted my ears more. I guess I did a bit too much. Might be because of my new KZ ZS6 which is biased toward trebles.

(Off-topic) I had to buy the ZS6 for using it in summer. Summer in the tropics (in my case, Thailand) means hellfire, man. it's far too hot to use my usual over-ear. The ZS6 has obnoxious trebles but I like the sound when I lower them enough.

[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.

[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
