Funzo123's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Auuga (Original Mix)]

Your energy during the intro was a little strange, the song kept giving the impression there was going to be a drop, though not in the suspense kind of way. God damn it found it's feet though. Solid mix, loved the melody! Your bass sound is killer too, did you make it yourself?

Karabast responds:

Thanks! The intro is actually the drop copied, but with a lot of the elements like the lead and bass removed.

I made all the basses in Serum. The verse bass is a saw wave with 16 voices of unison and a low pass filter and the drop bass is actually 2 different patches. The first one is again a saw wave with 16 voices and the second one was made from Virtual Riot's "Dying Saw" wavetable from VR Wavetables Vol. 2.

[Something of Importance]

Try turning down that lead synth, it's super loud in the intro sections. At 1 min it sounds like a lot of the chords are clashing against each other, eventually it meshes together but it was very jarring initially. Nice melody work, I'm getting huge moonlighter vibes :)

MandrakeGuy responds:

thanks for the feedback!

now you point it out, yeah i can sorta hear it, but even then, id actually say that it fits in some form of way, you know, its not complete yet, but then the well "chords" find a way to be important

although i still understand what you mean, i prefer using mistakes in meaningful ways, but i will remember this for when i make another one

[Space Remote]

Like tingles up my spine! I love it :)

[Aerin - Nowhere To Go [Melodic Dubstep]]

Damn dude. This isn't particularly my style of music but you had me bopping start to finish. Solid production, your arrangement is on point!

Another-Time responds:

thank you :D

[Fast Drive! (FL 8 Mix)]

Some new kit sounds would do this song absolute wonders. Nice melody ideas :)

C211 responds:

Unfortunately, I didn't have any new sets of sounds, so I decided to make drums from the old ones to create the atmosphere of old songs from 2007. Thanks!

[Time]

A lot of build up, I was expecting something huge my dude. If I can make any suggestion, it would be that the more muffled or mixed back kick during the intro was great to set the mood. It could just be the mix, but the kick loses a lot of oomph after the drop, but comes back and hits well 2/3rds in. Maybe have a look at competing frequencies on the low end and see if anything is interfering with it. Otherwise, this was incredible dope man. Absolutely love your producing style.

[Blue Machine]

The the volume between the transition is super jarring man, apart from that though this is funky as hell! Great sample chops.

[Astral]

I'm forever in love with your counter melodies, god damn. The bass crescendo felt like it was dragging me into the song, your plucks are perfect, this makes my heart happy my dude.

JsBeatzz responds:

Thank you! I really do appreciate it 😁
