3manonMusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[STAR TRACKER]

pretty cool song. Your way of promoting it to me felt really pushy though, watch out with that.

PapaDumTek responds:

[i am like actually bored]

What people think breakcore is that don't know the genre

wineplume responds:

technically it is breakcore lol, but not all of it
mostly it's just dogshit (random samples clumped into one big mess)

[Alien Shepard Tone]

I see that the battle of the titans have spread to halloween2024...
This is really really tense, good job. Giving it a 4.5 instead of a 5 for the simplicity, but the simple concept is excecuted perfectly!

Irish-Soul responds:

Pfffft this was a “oh no I need a song for Halloween” moment and I pulled something that could work from my computer haha

[BY THE HAND OF DEATH]

As per request, I'll give you a review as well. It's good to be asking for feedback on songs!

Composition: 12.5
Mixing: 10
13/8: 9.5

Additional thoughts: This is definitely the most experimental track on the contest, without any competition (although Jazzdew's "material artifice" also comes pretty close, you might wanna check that out if you love this kind of music). A whole bunch of random noises making a chaotic mess. That's always a "either love it or hate it" situation. In this case I think it's safe to say for me that I love it! The sound design is very well done, it's very progressive and I like the overall vibe of this. Also fair that you t-rated this, because of how ominous this is lol. With a genre like this it is VERY hard to get the mixing done right though, and in this case it unfortunately shows. Some part completely exceed what visual reference Newgrounds has for volume, at those parts my ears also start to hurt. Mixing is really subjective when ur making stuff that is just all-and-all experimenting, because some parts are supposed to sound "ugly" in a good way. The reason I scored so low on the 13/8 you already explained yourself; because of the very fluid bpm the time signature is very hardly noticable, especially at the extratone parts. Nevertheless I loved the ride of tonal kicks, loud sfx and glitchy amen breaks! You can get a long way with the crazy stuff you make!

vekoN responds:

thank you! i understand and appreciate your rating!

yeah as pointed out by you and many others the mixing on this gets quite loud; i'll address this for a release

[13/8]

{13/8 JUDGING REVIEW}
(please note we are rating score on a scale of 8-13)
Composition: 9.5
Mix: 11
13/8 implementation: 10.5

Additional thoughts: I really like the bass of this song, that plays a pretty funky melody that gets along with the organ pretty well. The thing about this track though is that I actually only hear 5 instruments, which is really little and makes the song very empty at parts, especially at the beginning when only the drums play, even when the organ kicks in it's still pretty empty. I very much advise you to not shy down on any layering for the next time you are making something. Another problem is the lack of progression; the drums, bass and organ sound almost the same in every part. The song also ends really abrupt, which makes it good for a loop but not for a song if you know what I mean. Good luck with the contest!

vestik responds:

Amazing, thank you for the feedback! I strongly agree with everything you said, I felt like I didn't maybe put as much time into it as I could. I will keep it in mind for next time!
