shreddeathpunk7's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[December Theory]

Weird but pretty entertaining.

Very original track, I personally didn't like it for it's experimental side. Bass is pretty pumping. It would be a nice dub floor rocker if you added a stronger kick. I don't like the attack on the pads at 45 sec into the song. I like the plucked melody that starts from the beginning though. The track is pretty glitchy which is pretty cool. Maybe adding some percussion to the track would give it more character and soul. That's all I have to say about it. Not really my sound.

EchozAurora responds:

This was made for the December MRAC..
Which is pretty amazing, because it is still kicking ass in the Trance genre, even though it is a remix. There are things I could do with it, but I don't feel like messing with it, because it was made for the competition. I'm excited to hear the results though, and to participate in the next one.

[_Angel_(demo)]

Nice track.

Nice piano to begin it with. Great re verb effects.
Sound is nice and sharp. I wouldn't exactly call it trance. It's more break beats. At 1:07 the piano is layered when it starts playing chords, and there is a bell instrument playing. In my opinion it would be nice to turn those down since they are a bit hards on the ears. The sub bass frequencies are there but it would benefit the track if they were brought out more imo. Once it breaks into trance it's a pretty decent track.

Ak-17 responds:

Thx for the review mate - yeah I khow it is not really trance, but I didnt khow were else to put it - so...
A big thanks on your input - It really helps ;)

[Night at the Parlor]

Reviewing as I listen.

The track starts out with a very loud saw mixed with a square synth I believe. My main problem is that the track's mixdown is too loud. All the frequencies seem to be clashing. I'm listening with mastering headphones and I hear alot of clipping and popping, meaning it's peaking too much. You need to EQ and compress alot. Try panning some instruments sligthly. The piano is distorting too bad, your hig freq are killing everything else. The melody is pretty nice and happy. Kick doesn't stand out too much. Bassline is kind of boring doesn't really catch my attention like I'd like it to. The track doesn't feel like it's going anywhere. Try adding effects and building a more atmospheric tune. Keep try mate just keep practicing. Add more percs and more hats.

Check out my stuff.

JVUnderground responds:

Hmmm kick and bass? Ill try to see what I can do with it!

[Unreal Existence]

Nice

This is the first decent piece I hear on New Grounds everything else sounds like dying cats. Good mixdown. I'm tired of everyone here thinking theyre audio engineers.

Althoug the track lacks any real progression. A proper bassline and a build up, break, intro and outro would give the track much justice. Nice automations. Bass line requires more Subbass freq, at around 60 hz to give it that lower oomph on top of your rolling bassline.

bogman247 responds:

Im glad the mixdown was ok, took me a long time. About the progression, it did have and intro, break, build up, outro, chorus etc., but it was much to big for newgrounds, 5.8 megs or something, so i had to cut it down, removing a lot of them :( . I'll try that tip you gave me about the subbass.
Thanks!

[[Third Trance] non-demo]

EWWWWWWW

Sucks really bad. Stop

Apple-Eater responds:

X-Infinity-Zero responds:

[Feral Fox - Frozen World]

-Garbage

What Irks me is they let you post your shit here. Horrible work, now ain't that constructive???

btw: STOP USING THE SAME FUCKING SYNTHS.

Feral-Fox responds:

Well this is new
What Irks me is dush bags like you that have no idea about anything, its like you dident even listen to anything I have. I dident use them synths in my other tracks, maby a tiny bit simular do to my style in some songs, so maby if you got that huge cock out of your ear and stoped giving your dad oral when reviewing it wouldent be like this.

PS Thanks for the review :p

[Khuskan - Tombstone]

Meh.

I'm sorry your music fucking sucks...

Khuskan responds:

Said the person with two tracks scoring 1.89 and 1.88 respectively.

[Tetris on Speed]

Could use refinement.

Ok, I'm usually not compelled to write reviews, but this Tetris "remix" if you can call it that, wasn't so bad it was actually a decent listen, now I don't agree that it's "ipod" worthy. I'll have you know that first of all, your mixdown is pretty bland and the stereo spectre lacks so much panning, I know this isn't the next "Air For Life", but still a good and clean mixdown and master is what makes a track stand out. A crisp tone is what you would be looking here to this kind of music. It just seems like alot of your synths are dry, although you manage to capture the vintage analog sound of an 8-bit processor. I suggest you really polish this before you can personally agree that it's a diamond track. In all honesty it's highliy over rated.

I'd like to discuss this more with you.

HouseMasta responds:

I completely agree with you, that it why you need to check out my Tetris Dirty Remix, which is FAR superior to this song. Anyway, expect an IM from me in 2 months, as I am leaving the USA on a cruise. Sorry, but I'll be back later.

[During The Storm]

Beginning was ok.

Due to the low bit rate capacity that plagues Newgrounds, I'm not going to focus on clarity. Now on to the main part of the review. I definetly like the beginning with the soundfx, other than that the songs mood is absolutely destroyed. Mainly by that extremely horrendous entrance of that saw synth. Next is the fact that there is almost no individuality with each instruments, the mix down is really bad. The kick is virtually not there, I can't hear it. The cheesy thunder sound is really odd. Now of course, every trance song has to have a hook right? Not the case here. The melody is a really original but not really all that memorable. Next we have the bassline which really sounds like a paper shredder. The arp is nicely implemented. And of course comes the cheesiest of melodies at 1:53 which sounds like a cheap knock-off for the insipid melodies of "B0unc3". The mixdown and virtually no mastering make this track garbage. But then again all the songs on here usually suck. I'm not hating on you. Just giving you feedback, like you asked. It'd be nice to see what you can accomplish once you read up an article on proper mixing and good song implementation. IM me, I want to help you out, get your sound polished and away from this n00b garbage on NG, all of it is...

Anima-Theory responds:

Some one is very critical :P

The thunder sound effects are real thunder, and the rain is real rain, so i sorta cant help the way real thunder sounds.

I didn't think the mood was destroyed by the sudden change, the beginning was only a build up.

The kick is quite predominant, if you have decent speakers, you cant hear the kick on mine, but if you put head phones in you can hear it clearly. Plus I had to turn the kick down due to clipping.

I dont know what you mean by a hook.

Its also really hard to make a trance song memorable because most good riffs are already taken.

I thought the bassline sounded cool and alot of trance songs use that type of bass for their bassline.

I like B0UNC3's type of genre, thats probably why my music sometimes sounds similiar to his.

But I will try and fix what you commented on, after all i have to please the masses.

So thanks for the review anyways
