TheCon-Sept's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Scout]

Definitely a good mix here. I just wish I could hear the drums a bit more through till the end. Seems like everything is fighting for the spot light. Spread things out a bit. Change up the channels. Use the side kick or side chain for the kick only. It just sounds like everything is right in the center of attention... Spread it out man! Use the stereo shaper for the melody and harmonies man! Its great but needs to be spread out a bit!

Cacola responds:

Thanks for the advice! I'm not very good at mixing, but I'm trying to get better, so this should help me out next time.

[Space Lord]

Kind of sounds like it has a strong influence from Pendulum. But it sounds rather flat. Not too much depth in the sounds. Almost like the Equalizer was set up incorrectly. Try getting the low tones in the correct register for the low and the high register sounds in the highs. Spread this out and it would sound like a million bucks!

Melody is awesome and I can get down with it. The slow down seems like it is setting up for another part of the song. Can't wait to hear it.

TeoAcosta responds:

Thats most likely what happened with the Equalizer, I was really new to mixing and mastering when I wrote this track and I think I just slapped an izotope ozone preset on it and called it good enough.

Since it was part of a 3 day game jam I didn't spend much time on the mastering, which is something I try to spend more time on.

I appreciate the feedback :D

[Fluttershy]

The beat trips over itself a tad bit. Not sure if that was the vision. The beginning is perfectly done. Nice glitch feel to it really. The synths are ok... but it needs a breath of fresh air after a while.... Sounds like it is chocked after the first 3 minutes... Maybe make the sound tone's a bit brighter? Open up the door a bit more? Maybe through in a reverse crash that is suddenly muted before the climax? Maybe glitched? Just throwing shapes your way.....

Ethril responds:

Think I'll keep plugging on it and repost as it progresses. For now, I need a break on it. I'll come back to it with fresh ears. Thanks for the review!

[Dope Beets]

Yes. Snares need a bit of tweaking to sound "in tune with it." otherwise this is one track that is truly different. I like the bass being simple.

putzpie responds:

Thank you kindly sir. Glad you enjoyed it, and I'll take that into consideration when I go over it again for final release.

Rock on groovy bro.

EDIT: Reuploaded the final version so the snares are fixed.

[Gates of Platros]

Well you just got a heart from me. New favorite artist. Not bad on the mixing either. And I like the small usage of the synth I hear in every techno song instead of it being the main instrument for the entire song. Like a perfect piece of Cherry pie.

[Into the Light (Preview)]

Reminds me of .hack//Mutation when you finally get to the sky city.... forget the name of the "server" in the game but it sounds like it.

Solisio responds:

Never heard of .hack//Mutation, is it a MMORPG?

[Wannabe-Gangsta (DUBstep)]

Aside from the beginning this song is pretty good.

But it needs a section for a break down where the wobble bass goes through a wringer of sorts. Start it off slow and then make it explode. Treat it like a drunken sailor on a boat ya know?

Other than that the beat is fine for the song but make consistent changes to it with some odd effects fading in and out and such.

[Red 7 - A Tale of Love]

Interesting dips!

The phase out drops got me thinking I am tipsy from maybe drinking too much. Then I guess somehow I ended up on the dance floor. Then someone else bumps into me without noticing it. Then well... I watch her for a while. And I start noticing a different stride to add in. But she is playing hard to get. heh. So I go along with it anyway. But then... my buzz is overkill... and I go back to my car and fall asleep I guess.

That is what I got from this one any way. Nice though. Pretty much OmniProg to me.

[[Trance Out!]-Zero-]

Again?

keep em coming bro.

X-Infinity-Zero responds:

Will do.
