JinZ's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chrome Frost (ft. 3manon)]

In case it isn't obvious, the car-to-screeching noise is the most creative thing in GP1. The bass designs are like candy to my ears—sweet and addicting. There is good transitioning (especially at 02:08) and punchy kicks. The orchestral nature of the track is very nice, especially the outro. Surprisingly, the sounds work well together composition-wise. The synth leads are quieter in the first drop when combined with the basses. On a macro level, this becomes an issue as well. That is the volume differential between the 1st and the 2nd/3rd drops. I am aware that this is a co-op issue. It's okay that the music has a variety of snares. However, the first drop snare can be more forceful. From personal experience, when making screeching basses, dubstep producers tend to have it as a secondary element, with rhythmic (4th-note) basses serving as the dominant element.s. And I agree with them. Without those pulsing and rhythmic basses, the drop can sound empty and even weak. I haven't been able to make out what the outro was about. Was it a victory theme? It doesn't sound like one to me. Overall, the track works in a race and has some arctic elements such as the bells and LDnB genre.

3manonMusic responds:

The outtro was in fact a victory theme yes! Thanks for the kind feedback!

[Roina - One More]

It is very nice and sweet, the track is dynamic and i love the piano break, i wish that piano part was louder tho
I recommend having some sidechain

Roina responds:

I received your feedback well! I will reflect your opinions when making the next song and come back with a better song :> Thank you for listening to my song!

[Field Day]

kinda groovy, i like the sweet-sounding melody, sometimes there's a contrast between low and high notes which is nice
i'd prefer those instruments have reverb tho

ScottySee responds:

Cheers man, thanks for the feedback.

[In My Head]

AI music?

JaybeeMusic responds:

not quite lol

[Time machine]

i like the riffs
tho if it helps, you should slow down so you don't miss any beat

Dj-Princess responds:

Thanks for recommendation.

[dyxren. - blissful dreaming]

i know lofi has jazzy and complicated chords and allat but at some point you gotta remember that it's music to relax, not music to hear dissonance (01:28)

DistortedVortex responds:

sometimes that dissonance can work to tell a story believe it or not some lofi does have it but it's still chill with that dissonance, if you want a more dissonant lofi track check out sylva, also lo-fi doesn't have to be all complex my lofi stuff is pretty simple to make if you know how music works.

[Pigbook special - The day you return to me piano version (extended alternate)]

god i love the 0:49 part so much, it reminds me of the classic piano tracks
did you play this live? cuz it sounds very very nice

Calamaistr responds:

No this cannot be played live (unless as a duet), as the notation stated I made this version a while ago before even starting to actually play the piece and settled eventually for the other version which is also uploaded. :)

[The Hour Grows Late, part I]

i can feel the chilling vibe, very nice choice of instrument
tho, you should have a better choice of drums, the kick is too bright, it belongs more to EDM

ChaosHarry13 responds:

thanks for the feedback. yeah you are absolutely right about the drums, infact i just changed them thanks to you and i feels it better now and hope everyone else feels like the drums more fit now. thanks again for the feedback and that i got the change in :)
