JinZ's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[shu]

the melody, the chords sound off the key
anyway, here's my suggestion: don't use FL Keys
how long have you been making music?

K0TiC responds:

i didn't use fl keys lol, i tried to make it sound like plants vs zombies music so that's why some of the stuff sounds "old". I've been making music for 3 years now, but haven't really been as interested lately.

[Anguish]

the melodies of the 2nd break sound off the key
you need to make the build up sounds more powerful, the drop came in out of nowhere, not even a pre-drop sample, I almost had a heart attack. the bass sounds lack of mixing

FYRDXGR responds:

I think I know whats wrong. I dropped the master volume by a few DB before the drop and reset the DB at the drop. Maybe I dropped too many DB and it sounds too powerful. And I did as much mixing as I could on those bass sounds and the melody does sounds somewhat offkey but thats because theirs an Isotope Vinyl on it to give it a aged feel; but I can assure you everything is in key. Ill take your advice and apply it to my next piece. Thanks for the feedback!

[VRIME, Uboi - Lowryde]

i kinda don't like how you use that one main bass over and over again in a drop, lack of variation

VrimeMusic responds:

Thank you for your feedback! I'll try to keep that in mind next time.

[Discovery]

the drop is fucking repetitive, it has like one pattern of melody only, I'd suggest adding the hit bass, growl or play around with the melody for variation

baryiscool responds:

Yes it really is repetitive
I'm going to work on it today to see if I could change the drop so it has more variation

[Monody - Jam Remix]

what device do you use? cuz i want you to get a better DAW

Fox4567 responds:

The thing is, I use Windows and use something called Soundtrap, but I need a Mac and Garageband / FL Studio to do good stuff... yeah i can do so much better with that...

[ZetheX - Devour]

keep this style up
btw, i had skrillex vibes here

[Undertaker (old/bad production)]

the drop is... disappointing at first...
i mean the build-up was so powerful but then the drop...

entropicvoxels responds:

i understand what you you mean, the drop gets more powerful over time, and it would've been a better transition if it started out with that power.

[RejSende - Mental Disorder]

good use of percussions, samples
lack of transitions, no impacts or white noise
and how high were you while making the 01:04 part xdd
btw 01:34 bruh
not sure about the 2nd drop, imo, it kills my ears but hey, that's an interesting idea

Vimori responds:

As already mentioned, to each his own and everyone sees the idea in their own way. Anyway, thanks!

[Moody]

i think this is very relaxing
the vocal chops at 01:00 are a bit weird, they sound like they had a phaser fx

kokonutmusic responds:

Thanks for your review :) I think I slapped OTT on everything in an attempt to make it sound somewhat interesting

[Stranger]

when you want to have a STRONG sound, layer them with a shit ton of presets instead of one saw chord, the kick is... a bit clicky

AKJanklin responds:

Cool! I have noticed that the saw chord section is a bit barebones. What kind of presets or sounds would you use to fill the gap, or what would do you think would synergize well with the combo?
