SomeGuyMusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Real Life]

The beginning instrument sounds like it stays above everything in the mix from the beginning to end. I think you should decrease the velocity of it because it's sound is very pokey in a unfitting way. I also wish the song was a bit more spacious in terms of atmosphere. I think due to the mix, it doesn't sound that way. 1:21 it all starts to feel random. I think, potentially, randomness can add character to a song but I don't feel it works well here. I think this is due to how messy the mix is. Despite what I said, I don't think it's bad. It's actually an interesting song imo.

Thanks for the review. I'm not saying it's a good song it was more to paint a picture for what it's worth. It's my least favorite song on the album, hence the tags lol, yeah I'd give it three stars too :)

[Sundusk]

It's very short so I do wish it was expanded upon a lot more. Especially since the chords at the beginning were really nice imo. Unfortunately there was some unfitting dissonance at 0:19. The arrangement of it feels quite off after that. I recommend maybe switching up some chord voicings or maybe trying different chords. I also recommend separating the instruments in the mix some more. They feel quite clustered atm and some sound a bit muddy.

Thanks for your input.

[loll idk how to delete old songs]

I really enjoy this song and what it stands for! I think you did a good job portraying the stages!

[The Light Shines Through (Original Mix)]

It sounds kind of muddy to me and I really wish this was expanded on some more because I think what you have here is pretty cool but could be even cooler. Maybe a bit more fast paced with a nice melody. Not bad overall.

Thank you for listening to my track and thank you for your honest feedback! I'm just starting out in music production so I have a lot to learn. Making music is a hobby I have picked up on the side. I do wish to advance my skills and have fun in the process. Any input and constructive criticism is much appreciated as that will help me grow and become a better music producer. Looking back at this track, I feel I should have spent more time on mastering to get the right balance of sounds. I will definitely take your suggestions, rework my song, try to incorporate a more complete melody, and hopefully, I can make it even better. Thank you again.

[SKU!L - Sneeze (End Card)]

I dig the bounce in the rhythm! It gives me TheLivingTombstone vibes!

[AmexSteam - Gliches]

I would have opted for a different snare at the beginning but that's just me. This is some damn good riddim. I wish it had more of a drive to it like Infekt's stuff.

AmexSteamOfficial responds:

actually it would be a good idea in a matter of the beginning of the song, and I would like to be up to Infekt

[Callaxis - Ahead]

Nice seeing you here

[Stage 3]

Damn the time signature changes 👀. This song is hella underrated!

[Some lofi]

The mix feels a bit unbalanced and the composition feels quite odd to me mainly because of the execution. There's this screeching sound that comes and goes that sounds very unpleasant. The piano sounds kind of muddy so I recommend cutting some lows with an EQ. I would lower everything a bit, especially the 808. It's actually not that bad though and I think if it was cleaned up a bit, it could be really nice. I just wish there was a bit more separation in the mix overall.
