JinZ's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Torment]

the tempo changes are outrages :)

Banana-head responds:

Thanks! This song was just a bunch of riffs compiled together with no regard for tempo, i guess the tempo changes added a nice effect to the song.

[POLY: Watching Villages Burn (Ft. Zleap)]

the drums and percussions made the mood even better lmao

Anchorwind responds:

Much appreciated. This was another instance wherein I was working on a piece and the direction changed during the production process.

The Heartgrinder decided to contribute and I/we rolled with it to what you hear now.

[Megalovania - A (Mostly) Accurate Recreation ~ RedWire]

i see you were going for
you actually use the technique cutting Patrick's voice :)
(there's actually a sound for it in DirectWave but ok)
the 0:31 synth was kinda dry

ok im not gonna go too deep as you've said that this isnt quite accurate

remember, use midi next time, like who tf have time to be an Absolute pitch

VioletWire responds:

I have time to do that. I can do it very quickly (ex. the melodies for this were recreated in about half an hour or so, and tweaked as I went along). I have never ever used midis, and I never ever will. It's just how I roll. This isn't supposed to be a perfect recreation. The point of this was to challenge the abilities to recreate by ear. I know the synth at 0:31 is dry, didn't have time to fix it. Thanks for the feedback.

[i saw the moon through the trees]

shet, i went too deep that i slept

[Mind Control]

this needs a shit ton of improvements
the intro is good but when the arp hits, shits happened, the arp is weird
also, the track is overall lack of compression thus made it sounds unordinary loud

ah yes, no sidechain

PolyDroidZ responds:

sorry. ill delete the track. iIhate the song too.

[WillMaz - Return]

love the atmosphere of this, especially the intro
but not sure if i'd like that drop cuz some parts were left completely empty, i'd suggest adding some reverb

btw, i noticed that you just copy n paste the whole thing, which is bad

WillMaz responds:

Thx for the feedback! Great that you experience an atmosphere, then i succeded in that haha!
I wanted those "empty" spaces combined with tape stop effect but true some reverb could have spiced things up. I try to variate and mix it as much as i can, but its hard to make EDM without copy and paste sometimes. Im still learning but hopefully in the future it will be a much better result! ^-^

[- Oblivion -]

hinkik vibes yes

[Inquietude]

the uh piano melody sounds like you just put the notes wherever you wanted, like, it didnt follow any particular keys, it just goes up (like the 1st drop) and some weird melodies in the intro or the break parts

Pahgawk responds:

to try to distill this some more: sounds like I need better setup/payoff for the melodies, if keys and melodies feel random and not intentional. Thanks for the feedback!
