Astro-reality's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Loading Screen]

Just looked around your old tracks. Underrated song, needs to be used by Nintendo.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

zomg I never saw this comment! Thanks! ^_^

[EPIC BATTLE]

At the beginning I was hesitant, but it built up to quite an enjoyable song. I really like these synths around 02:56 and how these arpeggios give a very nice sound to the ear. My only recommendation is more balance in volume between the different instruments and elements.

Good work

[blissful ignorance]

Hey, nice to see another music producer which uses LMMS.

This is quite good work, I like the build-up and transitions and the small fast percussion which you added around 0:50. I like the instrument around 01:35, but I feel like in some parts it doesn't seem to completely fit with the other melodies and instruments if you listen very closely, I don't know if you can hear the same but perhaps you can give it a listen a few times to see if you can fix it. I like the drowsy feeling at the beginning of this track and how you generally built up all the different instruments in this track.

Good work

[Final Fantasy]

Right from the start gives me goosebumps, you got great vocals here and I can really hear how you gave a poppy sound to this song. The original has a very medieval-like feeling to it while you have transformed it into a nice Trance song. This is really recorded with very clear vocals and a nice small reverb after it. The mastering is good without instruments or elements which don't get enough space, it sounds like a dream adventure which also fits with the original song. The outro is a nice ending to it as well.

I can't really give any advice on what to improve as the production quality seems to be high and I can only say that this is a very well produced song.

SkyMarshall responds:

Thanks man :) Love it.

[Tmos]

Very eery intro, I like the part which you have around 0:30, this would fit very well for an animation of sort as background music for some mysterious and danger-filled scene. Good build-ups and transitions in this, with a nice percussion change at 01:45 and a change in the melody of the bass wobble after this, although I think that it sounds a bit empty here for some time with just the bass wobble and drums, but the synth after that makes up for it. I think that what could improve it is to add more effects to it. At the part before 03:25 when more energy is pumped in again.

Would fit very well for ancient mystery-themed stuff. Good job.

FwWFW responds:

That's a very useful review. Thanks bud. Love ya

[LEMONADE]

This sounds more like a mix between Drum and Bass and Dubstep, starting with a Dubstep-like part with the Drum and Bass part kicking in around 00:52.

I like the clear synth waves and the adventure-like feeling around 01:22, there seems to be a good balance between instruments here with good transitions in tempo and style, but I agree with some others that it would be good to try to get more variety down with the melodies. As you can hear the main synth repeats a lot, adding small variations in the melody can help to make it more interesting, that's a small thing though, it's a good song so you get a good score.

Edit: I just saw your age. Quite good work for someone of your age, keep it going, dude, my stuff sounded like crap when I was around your age.

AveonMusic responds:

Thank you so much for your support! I'm still kind of new to music production and I really appreciate this type of support. I'll try to have some variation with melodies next time!

[Void]

I like the build-up, really love the percussion and build up around 02:20 after the acoustic part which has a very Spanish feeling to it in the beginning. This has a really good sound to it and a roughness and mystic feeling to it which you hear in more metal songs. Good job!

[Dubstep Cowboy]

Pretty good stuff, this is what a cowboy walking around in a dubstep world sounds like.

[Smile Electric Sun]

Sounds trippy, I really like the part around 00:33. It would work very well for some trippy video I think. The reverb sounds fit very well in this considering the vocals, I hadn't even heard your song before I published mine, but it is interesting how you use a bitcrusher at the end too.

It sounds cool.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Thanks brah. I'm hoping to find an animator so I can get a vid done for this but I doubt I will. I don't think I often use bit crushing but when I do, there seems to be a sweet spot around 12 bit depth (if memory serves).

[B0UNC3 - Blog theme]

Good atmosphere, would work well in a dance club. I like the synth you use around 0:45. The build-up works well in this song, I would fix that part around 01:22, like ADR3-N said, it is a shame for such a good song that this kind of ruins it for some people. Still a good song. :)

B0UNC3 responds:

Oh shit, I never realized that I left a sour note in there.... Whoops XD.
Thanks <3
