3manonMusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[AIM - Yeah, something like that.]

I really love the psychedelic association you made with this piece of art, I get the similarities between the song and the art instantly. I would definitely advise you to work on your vocals more though, because sometimes they're a bit off. Especially in relation to the song itself. It feels like you sang the whole song in one take and stuck with it. I advise you for next times to record indivual segments, retake them if necesarry, and just snap them on grid. There also isn't that much variation in the whole song, but that's acceptable.

[AIM - Failure of a Fanatic]

I love the fact that you rapped under an art that I would never associate with hiphop at first instance, so unique combi with that. The mix is pretty full, so good job with that. But there are some parts that sounds empty again, thereby I am specifically referencing to the intro. I think that's probably what I have to say about this. I really like it for the rest, although that one choir vst is quite low quality, cus it doesn't clear enough to me. Good luck with the AIM!

[AIM - Punk Frog]

Nice frog song lol. I think it would have been better if you used a lot more wet, silly instruments. Right now the whole arrangement feels a bit too serious for the image. I think that after 3:10 the whole thing starts feeling more silly again, just as I expected from frogs. Do work on the piano here and it's dynamic tho, because a consistent piano stab like this gets annoying to listen to after a while. Also where is the bass ahhhh

[AIM 24 - BROWHOTFAREYOU]

I like the energetic sporadic vibe this has. It has some cheesy parts like the risers to the drops. BUT THOSE DROPS THO YOOOO. The bass design is really really clean. I do think that your subs are a bit too low (hahaha it's a sub it's supposed to low), like in the quieter parts it would probably be better if you stacked an octave on top of that. Also I think that during the drops where the drums play solo it would probably be good if you gave some reverb so there's more room filled in those parts. Also I do think that outside of the drops it's quite repetitive. I'd love to see some more dynamic in that
Other than that truly a solid piece of dnb (and that's coming from a guy who's had like 5 dnb-centered frontpages lol) and a real banger.

[AIM - Hope's Memory]

At first I thought this was gonna be quite repetitive, but when I heard the strings got in at 0:52 I almost got goosebumps. I love love LOVE the progression this offers. I wish it would go on for a little longer. It picks itself up at 1:47 again, but it wasn't necessary to have that emptier part in the middle of those parts. I also appreciate the choice that you didn't let this build up more and more, because I know as an orchestral producer myself it's hard to resist. But for the image reference it was necessary to stay relatively calm. Great job and good luck with the AIM

[Chocnoon - Falling Night ~AIM~ (DLVII)]

This piece seems so nostalgic lol. It really gives me dj-nate vibes. I do think it's quite repetitive, especially the first drop, but that's the genre ofcourse. Also, it might seem a bit double, because the whole reason why I find this piece nostalgic is also a bad thing. That's because the instrument quality really isn't the best. It just feels a bit thin and somewhat cheesy. I would personally something more emotional with picture. Other than that it's just a huge nostalgia trip that's jolly to listen to ^-^

[AIM - Madonna del Laco]

This gives me super Mario 64 vibes. Nice. I also get the reference to the art pretty much, except a problem I have with the whole piece is that I feel it's more centered around the lake itself, than the lady. Like it's very mysterious and eerie, like a swamp-ish lake would be. But when a huge majestic woman-fish hybrid would emerge from the lake, I personally picture something that's more epic and grand. There's also a lot of reverb, try to decrease a lot of it to get a better clearance on your sounds. Also I think it's pretty repetitive, a good thing you could do by avoiding that is adding and introducing new instruments and maybe even completely new segments. As of right now I personally don't hear enough instruments to keep me interested for 4 minutes long.

[AIM - Rampage of The Dark Paladin]

I don't have much to share in terms of feedback because I agree with the guy underneath me for most parts. What I do think is that the drums could have been a lot more punchier and more on the foreground. It was probably better if the bass was just louder in general. And yeaaaa try to fix that reverb soup in next songs.

[AIM - Nurture]

I like the creative rhythmic changes! Also very cutesy vibe, so definitely nailed the art comparison part. I do think that the whole song just overall sounds a bit thin. You would've definitely profited from more layering. I also think it's quite a bit repetitive, although I don't really think it's an issue due to the simple theme.
Good luck with the AIM!
Also lmao did you just hear mango eating asmr at the end that's hilarious af

Latadenata responds:

Thank you very much! I really appreciate it <3

[AIM - Pyromancers Village]

Beautiful work man. This sounds like it comes straight out of a videogame OST. It really has a great medieval vibe to it. Like some kind of troubadour sitting at a bar telling you a story. Some narration under this would fit really well too. There is something in the end that is a little bit offkey, it honestly sounds like a kazoo of some sorts. I like the fact that it's a bit out of tune, but I think if you made it slightly less out of tune it would work better. Great job for having everything recorded by yourself
