Evilgrapez's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Chiptune-:_Abandoned_]

Getting nostalgic vibes from this one. Keep it up, and congrats on the front page!

[Vivid]

Pretty sweet. Melodies are pretty nice, but I'd love it if the percussion could stand out more. I love the slidey synth at around 0:48, by the way.

Zechnition responds:

Thanks for your input! Percussion is one of my low spots, it's great to have some tips. =D

[Creo - Epilogue]

And there goes any chance I had of winning. At all.

This is incredible! Extremely memorable. Sound design is on point, and I love the snare. The melodies are really nice as well. That ending is glorious.

Just amazing.

[Onyx Odyssey]

Hey, that's pretty nice! Just wish the lead had more depth, if you know what I mean.

The section at 1:27 also feels kind of empty. Like there should still be a bassline. But that might just be me.

The bassey part at 1:42 is pretty sweet.

Overall it's pretty neat. Nice work!

DigitalBluez responds:

I'll remember that with the next tracks I make. Thanks. :D

[Pixel Day]

This is pretty sweet. Love the future-bassey feel, and the bitcrush at the beginning sounds really cool! Just wish it wasn't so short!

[Anytown, RPG]

Happy second Pixel Day!

Ah man, I love this. Totally reminds me of one of those NPC towns. Happy melodies and all. Totally getting Pixel Day vibes from this. I just wish it wasn't so short! But hey, it's a loop, so that makes up for it.

ChronoNomad responds:

Aw, yeah! This is rapidly becoming my favorite January holiday. Not that there's a whole heck of a lot to choose from, but still...

Glad to hear that you like the loop, man. Those NPC towns are DA BES! Folks be like, "Will you bring me this?" or "Can you get me that?" and you're off on more random fetch quests than there are pixels in an end game boss. The track is admittedly pretty short, but that's just how it wanted to be. Gotta admit, that looping is pretty dope! Thanks for listening.

[Detious - Divinity]

I accidentally voted zero, and I felt bad so I decided to leave a review!

The song is really cool! The drop is full of action and is fun to listen to. The kick and snare are pretty nice, but they could be EQ'd better. The middle part is really cool. I love how chill it is! The second to last drop is pretty cool, though I do wish there was a little more variety. The drumstep part should have some hats, too, but it's fine without them.

Overall pretty nice!

[Pride]

Not bad! Better than your previous work. I like the synths. Nice clapsnare, by the way. Mix is decent, but I think I heard some distortion at 1:35. You might want to avoid that. At 1:42 there's something about the mix that kind of throws me off, but I can't quite but my finger on it, so I'll ignore it. I like the little chiptune-ish synths, by the way.

I really like that drop at 3:16, but I feel like the pause before it was just a little too long, at least, for my taste. In my opinion the snares at 4:14 are alright but I think it'd be cooler if they were fading in with a low pass filter.

The melodic dubstep stuff you did in the last drop (at least, if you can call it that) is pretty nice, but a couple times the synths got kind of obnoxious. I feel like that the breaks at 4:52 and 4:58 should have a little fill right before the music starts again, but that's just my preference.

I like the slowdown ending, but it would be really cool if you did a tapestop-ish thing at the end. Just an idea, though.

Overall I like it! It kept me listening and never did I feel like it was dragging on or that I was getting bored. Nice work!

EtzerGD responds:

Thanks for the advice! Definitely agree with just about everything you said there, probably could've fine tuned those parts a bit more.
Thanks!

[Chael - Fallen]

This is incredible. What would really make this track is vocals, but obviously it's hard for a lot of people to find vocalists, so I'm not going to knock off stars for that. Aside from that though, this is really amazing. The melody at 1:47 and 3:06 are my favorites, by far. Something about them is so memorable. The drums are incredibly well done, too. The melodic dubstep stuff you did in the second drop is really good, and gives it a nice feel. The ending is superb, too.

Overall, this track is amazing. By far my favorite by you. Amazing job.

Falsesouth responds:

<3 This is what I needed to confirm. Utilizing/recording vocals is one of my current objectives.

I wanted to get vocals but I also wanted to push this track out fast.

Plus, I don't have much experience with mixing in vocals so I think that is my next step. Keep an eye out ;)

[Level X2 [Melodic EDM]]

So incredible. I have no words. Never stop making music, please.

DJStriden responds:

Thank you so much! I'll never stop! ^_^ Unless I die D:
