Viraxor's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Underground Trance]

Some synths could use tuning, these smooth chords entering at 30 seconds should be pitched down a few cents. I also don't like the sound design choices, the elements used here differ in their quality. That bass is a bit muffled. A lot of these synths just don't fit together that well, for instance the synth at 1 minute. That break change at around 2 and a half minutes doesn't feel that well, the track loses its grooviness in a very quick way, perhaps some more low-end on the new break could've made it better. Some of the changes of pace in this song don't work, and it's all too steppy and quickly done.

I liked the general vibe of it and the breaks are nice, along with the sound effects and mixing. But the problems with pace and fitting sounds together need to be addressed. This track has potential, though, and I liked its main idea and what was it trying to achieve. Good luck in the future!

8-BITek responds:

These synths are intentionally slightly detuned - the oscillator detuning was a deliberate choice.
I slightly reduced the highs in that loop from 2:17, because earlier it had a lot of high-end, and when I turned it down even more, it started to sound kind of lifeles... so I had to bring some of the highs back in

[17]

Not bad, I like its atmosphere. I do agree it needs more variety and that square synth may be too loud, it kinda drowns the drums. I also didn't like these highpass moments, they make my ears feel a bit nauseated.

G2961 responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Yes, indeed, you're right, I actually wrote this song by accident when I was playing with plug-ins and samples, so somehow I didn't do normal mixing and mastering. My previous songs are better, I recommend you to rate

[quiet-please]

That's a crazy sample. Love this.

foghorntape responds:

you’re an OG reviewer. if i ever become ultra mega famous, I’ll give you 2 dollars.

[like (alternate version recorded with real instruments)]

Wow, unbelievable sound quality! I like the arrangement quite a bit, there's something special to it.

GuitARBEn responds:

Thank you very much!

[sunny]

Cheap instrumentation but the composition is good.

trevor8 responds:

haha; i only use the cheapest my friend! thank you!

[short fusion intro]

This is the way. Could be more coherent at some places but it's a great effort.

centurioncee responds:

thank you, viraxor!!

[Fervent Feeling]

The bass needs more low-end. Nice track otherwise.

Shulkern responds:

that has been so crazy changed

[Interlude (short piano piece)]

I could even try learning this. Great piece.

adaMills responds:

Maybe you could try doing a rendition of it, adding your own flavor to it. I'll return the same if you'd like 😀

[Awake Too Late, Unable to Discern Reality]

Moody. It's background music, but it's good.

libbyshimmz responds:

True. Chillout room shit. Thanks!

[Crate Diggin']

Groovy, chill. I like the short and wobbly chords here and there. The drums are so laid back.

libbyshimmz responds:

Thanks, mate!
