JinZ's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tony Igy - "Astronomia" (Remix)]

ugh you know where the problem is? the kick pattern!
if you use the "full-beat hardstyle kick" (that's what I usually call them lmao), you don't need the bass anymore, you may add sub-bass though
also, in the drop, the synths are lack of reverb which sounds kind empty
1:16 ok what the heck is that snare/clap, it sounds weird

Synfang responds:

Firstly, thanks for the actually helpful advice regarding the bass. Most feedback I get, in general, isn't particularly helpful.
The lack of reverb...this was one of my bigger pains when mixing this. The original sounds I used had WAY too much reverb, yet I had a hard time getting it to be just right, yet never could, so I felt taking a minimal approach would be better than the original amount of reverb.
The preference of a minimal approach brings irony to the last point, which is that I included those snares in the drop (as I have done in all my hardstyle songs) because honestly, I felt the second part of the drop wasn't different enough without them. This is my one and only complaint about hardstyle as a subgenre: the drops seem repetitive when no new elements are added during the drop. Use DJVI's "Can't Let Go 2.0" for reference...nothing's there at the end of the drop that wasn't there at the start. This is my problem with hardstyle, and so this is how I handle it, even if it's not the best way to do so. :/

[[Heat Rave] BLaZE]

that guitar part o_O

EezySeven responds:

Yep. Guitar riffs tend to work well with Eurobeat/Rave.

[Shift]

tfw you see the ,375 and ,648 of the tempo

LazerwingMusic responds:

That's because I wanted to automate the tempo during the song but I couldn't turn it back without destroying everything so at the end I was stuck with unsatisfying numbers like those found in this track Xd.

[Wolf - Dolphins]

i like the structure but did the 1:40 part fuck up?

Colorfulwolf responds:

Yeah, I intentionally did that but I just realized that the effects in there aren't really good.

[Circuit Bored - Stir-lazy]

Smooth

BoredMusic responds:

Thanks!

[Toby Fox - Battle Againts A True Hero (NandinAnubis Remix)]

one of the best melodies of toby

NandinAnubis responds:

I totally agree with you

[Not My Taste]

the drop needs more bass to be layered and mid-freqs

dim7ay responds:

yeah i realised that after i uploaded it XD, but my next song has as high frequences as low ;)
