SomeGuyMusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Firstfruit]

I think you're underrated tbh and this is really nice! It sounds nice and clean and I really like the arrangement! The kids playing in the background really help the song have a nice setting and the piano near the end that sounds like it has a lowpass really benefits the atmosphere imo. It sounds like there's a reverse sound at like 0:04 that adds a nice texture to the song. Idk if it's reversed or it just came like. My only complaint s that I feel like a bit of low end should be cut out of the piano at 0:13. Really well done!

[StreetLight (minimal)]

I don't know why but it sounds just a bit unbalanced. Maybe the melody is a bit too loud. It's pretty nice and chill though.

[Frostbite (Demo Version)]

Sounds like Cysmix. I really like that transition at 0:41 but I think you should tone down that plucking a bit and maybe automate the volume of it so it goes up and down slowly. I just think that would sound very cool but that's just me. Also why is there like almost a minute of silence at the end AXIS!?

Callaxis responds:

That minute is my bad lol, but i’m not gonna work more on this because it’s just a cool unfinished demo i found in my archives.

[Ruins in the village]

I wish this was a bit more spacious because somethings sound like they're combating each other. It's missing that atmosphere imo. So I think the mixing could use some work. I think a bit of reverb on some instruments could help - with some low cut so things in the low end don't start clashing. It's very video gamey instead of cinematic imo but not bad.

[Short Orchestral || Storytime (Cover)]

I think your piano has a bit too much low end so it sounds a bit muddy. I think the choir should be more towards the back off the mix/in the background of the song. At 0:48 I think there's a snare that's giving off a lot of white noise which I'm not the biggest fan of. Maybe of things were reorganized, it might sit better in the mix. Overall I think it's really nice but it's missing that since of clarity due to it being a bit messy.

nixtly responds:

Thanks for the feedbacks, i will trying to fix this

[Repetitive (Final Mix)]

I think this is a really nice jummbox song. I don't know if jummbox has EQ so I can't really say much about the mix. All I can recommend is bandlabs or cakewalk since those DAW's are free and have more options.

WingedHarmony responds:

I'm just reuploading some old music from 2020 that I made. I had posted it on here originally on another account, however it's seemingly disappeared, and I can't remember if I deleted it myself or not. Either way, there's gonna be a big music dump going on. I'm moving away from this type of music, and my next projects will hopefully be much more in-line with indie-rock stuff now that I actually have the instruments along with FL.

[Prince]

Ah a fellow FL Mobile user. I think the mix needs to be cleaned up a bit. Some things need to be separated so there's a cleaner sound. Also I like the bass at 2:33. It's not bad, just needs some clean up.

[a silent prayer in the rain]

It kind of sounds like the choir and piano are combating a bit after 0:44 and mainly at 1:06. I makes it hard to hear some of the piano's notes for me. Besides that, I like the atmosphere of it. If the piano and choir were a bit more separated later on, I think it would have had a more spacious feel.

Troisnyx responds:

There's no choir 😅 But I think you mean the lead synth, which I did multiband compress differently from the piano. The only thing I could suggest from here is subject one of these parts to stereo widening, which I'm a bit reluctant to do. I might wanna ask LD-W for some pointers.

Thank you, by the way~
