JinZ's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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.

[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! ^-^

[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!

[Ark]

this is a ton of improvement
i mean, it has the basic stuff of a house music
but it's lack of mixing, not so good overall, maybe there was no sidechain either

Synfang responds:

On the contrary, I was actually taking more professional advice on mixing this than I usually do, and as a matter of fact, the sidechaining here is no different from what I've been doing for the last half year at least.
Thanks anyway for your feedback.

[D4rk 5c4r3 Out Now!!!]

its been an interesting album so far
here, the uh... transtition between tracks isn't good, i dont like how there just be white noise and that screeching sound.
should have let them fade in and fade out

kronosxl responds:

Well, i try to change it

[Maze]

pretty good so far
but why does the audio sound so low?
my guess would be there was no compression or a limiter

knopuc responds:

lol Fixed it Accidentally uploaded the wrong version. xD

[The Depths of the Attic]

this is overall sounds like a new producer tried their best to make music (im talking in a positive way btw)
the intro is great
the later part isnt really bad
keep it up

pukenukem12346 responds:

thank you for the feedback! im definitely trying my best haha
