Razex's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Face It]

Despite the limitations, you managed to make a really interesting and catchy tune. Sounds like tracker music. It would've been really cool if you simulated delay/reverb by using duplicated channels, it's a common thing in chiptune music, but idk if that would have fit into the limitations.

Stargame responds:

Lol the polyphony limit effectively destroyed the ability to do that except for particularly bare segments of music, so it seemed a waste to even try in that case. I was not in the mood to plan and syncopate 10 different sounds into an 8 sound space while making this xD

Thank you for the review, and I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[Broken Washing Machine]

Sick washing machine.

JPDunecrest responds:

Thanks for also checking this one out :) I for sure want to revisit this track and finish it up! Don't know if my friend ever got a refund tho lol.

[Dreamers]

Sounds cool, some apparently off key sounds here and there (that arpeggio at the beginning in particular sounds a little bit dissonant, but maybe that was intentional?). I would've scored higher if it wasn't too short and empty (especially at the drop), you could maybe have added a lead melody.

PebbleWheat responds:

Thanks for the review, noted.

[All my Song is Broken]

Not a fan of glitchy stuff like this in particular, but I could see this fitting as some sort of middle section in a song, so maybe it'll make more sense that way. I gotta say these sounds are really interesting though and I really like the drum beat, so I hope you actually made them.

JPDunecrest responds:

Thank you for your honesty :) I was also thinking this would be a like a second phase hook to a full song. I tend to listen to these for hours on end and sometimes I need to stand up, walk away, and come back with fresh ears. I swear my brain puts in the notes subliminally while I listen, except there's actually gaps in the track.

I appreciate the note on the sounds being interesting. I enjoyed the surround vibrations this gave off in my headphones even though some of the notes are cringeworthy.

As for the drum beat, it's unfortunately 4 loops that I edged together for about 1.5 hours. They take up two separate effect slots and decay sounds at variable rates to keep the beat poppy even though the bass wants to punch through. There's other methods too achieve this too. I was a little lazy, but will ultimately sample all the drums out from my full library in the end. Sometimes I will not really see the potential in a song I'm working on and scrap it without putting filler sfx and drums in. I'm trying to do less of that and post more works in progress.

Thank you so much for taking the time :) I'll hit you back with a review after the work day.

[Synth is Bliss]

Not bad overall, very chill and ambient, but sounds too repetitve and the melodies aren't too interesting.

PoisonousAir43 responds:

[Relief]

I really like this, sounds a bit repetitive though.

The-Pman responds:

No worries, I try not to make these so repetitive anymore. Thanks!

Insane indeed

Paper-Money responds:

[Original Project - Under the Mansion (Section 3)]
