Razex's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Tenacious]

Boss fight theme vibes, love it! I think links are probably not allowed so could please at least give the title of said video? I find myself usually struggling to learn anything from these kinda videos, but I might give it a shot.

ChordsInMotion responds:

Thanks! Here's the video :) https://youtu.be/cXgl8ahO2Uc

[Capital Sector]

Can't really tell what you've changed since it's been quite a while I listened to the old one. But holy SHIT. This is so good. I think the piano is one of the changes? I could be wrong, but it's definitely one of my favorite parts about this. Everything else is great too.

I really don't get why this is at 4 stars - this is genuinely one of your best tracks! You know what this is reminding me of? The soundtrack of Spark the Electric Jester! That's a huge compliment if you know it. Can't wait to hear more of this!

Zinklebob responds:

Thank you so much! Yeah the piano was changed a little, but the main thing was just fixing the mixing and mastering quite a bit.
I have never heard of Spark the Electric Jester but now I have to look that up lol

[The Fools of April Collab EP]

Peak

Aalasteir responds:

Swag

[Chromatic Whispers]

Listening to this again I realized the chorus sounds kinda similar to Dragonfruit Salad, which is really awesome

ItsBurner responds:

Holy shit you unlocked a core memory, I listened to that back in 2018

[2000s Type Beat]

It's good for what it's trying to emulate, but feels generally too empty. I think it's the lack of cymbals and FX. I also think the melody tries going too many places, which results in it sounding kind of randomized and lacking a satisfying or catchy conclusion.

ChordsInMotion responds:

Yeah I definitely see where you're coming from lol
I'll try to make something awesome next time B)

[Casino Clash - 2nd Phase]

Hell yeah I love this type of music! I just wish this had harder hitting drums, but the composition is on point!!

CicloOfficial responds:

Thanks :)

[At the Speed of Light orchestral cover]

I love this, I never realized how appropriate an orchestral cover would be for this song. Though it could be much better with a little more work on the mixing, the balancing is kind of weird in some parts. I know this is musescore so of course that's about as realistic as the instruments could sound, but I feel like some parts lack the variation on velocity.
PS I also have no idea how the whitelisting for GD works, but recently I stumbled upon this https://svbwoofer.newgrounds.com/ user by accident and it looks like they are involved with that so I would give that a try.

ZappStone responds:

I tried my best with the mixing, but the instrument volumes in Musescore are really hard to controll, sadly. There's also a lot of other things wrong with this cover, which I will one day fix with a second improved version. Thank you for the link btw

[Penny Pop Loops Demo]

Damn this is awesome! Pretty cool samples, especially the brass "fall". I love that sound, I might use it in the future!

sorohanro responds:

Soon will be some more stuff. If you like this type of effects on brass instruments I can make a whole pack like this.

[I’m Alvin]

WHY does it sound like Flying Battery at 1:30 and WHY is it so good

Zinklebob responds:

Good old James Bond cadence, i i#5 i##5 i#5
i use it in a lot of songs :3

[Flight of the Valkyrie]

How do you drop bangers so casually tho

Zinklebob responds:

I have a snail in my ear that tells me how to make songs
