Razex's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Fools of April Collab EP]

Peak

Aalasteir responds:

Swag

[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

[El Carnicero]

I especially like that last part, which I feel could be longer with the first half being shorter, to make it less repetitive. Just a heads up, I don't think music with cursing needs to be rated M? From what I understand M is for explicitly sexual content, T for just cursing. But there are also a lot of songs with cursing that are rated E.... So I really don't know.

datboi7os responds:

thank you so much for this review, I'll do my best to improve and keep my beats sound fresh and less repetitive! also I was just being causious with the rating I didn't want it to be taken down because of a wrong rating, I rated it T now :) thank you so much for listening!!

[Military Airship]

Catchy, awesome pace. Megaman like. I'm speaking monkey language, but you're very good at this melody thing.

Zinklebob responds:

Ty! :3

[Big Stinkin' City]

I think the mix gets way too crowded at 2:00 and the ending is very abrupt, but yeah this is my jam!

ItsBurner responds:

You’re right, I half-assed the mixing ! I’ll upload a revision. I can’t trust my ears anymore lol
