GobSmacked's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Enhaze - Stay (WIP #2)]

The intro is really cool and I love everything about it. But the build up is a little lackluster. The chords in the drop are too loud which is a bit jarring, it makes it sound very unbalanced. Turn them down a little that should work wonders. The small growl fills are cool, good job. Finish this with a better mix and youll have a BANGER.

Atlex44 responds:

Thanks so much for the review and feedback!!! I can't believe you made a review on this I'm really happy.

I'll take the feedback the best I can :)

Mind blowing sound design and great atmossphere. I truely stumbled upon a gem. Great work, keep it up!

zybor responds:

Thank you for your kind words. :) Have a great week! Happy Halloween!

[Chael - Corruption]

hmmmm the idea is cool man, but the mix is horrible. Way to much highs, which turn me off alot and it sounds super overcompressed. And the melody is somewhat repetative. I know you can do better! Keep at it man!

Falsesouth responds:

It's actually mixed fine, believe it or not. It's the placement of the limiter and the ridiculous gain boost on the master. That "corrupted" the mix XD

Perhaps I could fix it and re-upload it, but I think releasing new pieces of greater quality is always a better approach.

I fixed that for newer projects that I intend to release soon. Newgrounds getting me back on track with feedback is always awesome.

Thanks for the review!

[Arcade Thing]

I like this, but the arrangement could be better and less repetative. Also the sounddesign sounds weak at some parts. Best of luck in the competition!

VorticityMusic responds:

Thanks for the feedback! :)

[Class Struggle]

uuhhh dang thats a crazy good submission in nates comp! Good luck! And keep up the amazing work.
There are some minor details I'm not to fond off. Like the drum samples aren't really appealing, atleast to me. Also the choir sounds a bit cheap. I like the piece itself tho!

zybor responds:

Thank you for your review. :)

[A bunch of previews I'll probably finish]

finish no. 3 or ill bite u

EnNinja responds:

calm down there young man

[Spacetown]

uhm the drums sound actually quite ok and I mean its pretty standart stuff, but the melody and chords dont really make sense, you know? Especially when you are starting out, try to learn music theory before anything else. A basic grasp of music theory is essentiall. Since this is your first song on here ill leave it at that. If you have any question about production or something, feel free to hit me up!

Leawhey responds:

I know that it isn't that great I just made it to use in a GD level. I'll try to put more effort in the next one, anyways, thank you for your constructive review!

[Cringefest (Ft. A lot of people)]

Perfection

Pulvite responds:

LOOOOL I might make a vip ;);););)

[Dynamic Jam!]

its ok. The mix isnt good but i like the 80s vibes

Abro15 responds:

Thank you for your feedback! :) and yea, I do have got to work on my mixing skills :P

[Zyzyx - Screw Physics]

meh idk man. I mean its really cool but its just like listening to a bootleg Virtual Riot. Also, are these Preset from him (some sound like straight outta some of his streams and some just like presets), if not they sound fucking good tbh! I mean you said yourself it was inspired by VR but idk theres a line between inspiration and copycating. Anyways its a pretty neat track overall! Keep it up

DJ-Zyzyx responds:

lol I'm just seeing this now xD They actually aren't presets, I made everything myself!
