Tykwa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[untitled (Dubstep)]

ok.

The clap sound seems a little too loud, the first melo-synth that's playing seems a bit too much out of tune, the melo is alright, reminds me of yankee-doodle, the light0ambient sounds really add to this track, at 1:09, the synth that comes in is a little too aggresive and dark to fit the rest of the song, and the back-synth is too loud on the highs.

Sythec responds:

Thanks, I appreciate an objective critique now n' then!
The pad @ 0:32 and Sub-Synth that rolls in @ 1:09 will be the base harmony-
I'll have to get the other synths and tints in order- not sure what melody i'll fit in-
Basically shat a few different patterns together to see.

I'll refer to your points when and If i get around to a proper mix.
:D

heres a F-INCREDIBLE track by Silkie

[{ANT} - Agent Smooth]

Sweet

Definitaly sounds cool, love the midi/8bit sounds, melody is great, transitions are ok, might need a bit of mastering, the piano sounds a tad loud, guitar doesn't seem to fit in here, but it makes it, theres a small arpish in the background, which I would love to hear much louder!

Anth0n responds:

I made that arp myself, I'm pretty proud of it :)

["Technation" (WIP)]

Heya

Im really liking the vibes from this one, You really need too get this one done ^.^, It is repetitive, but doesn't matter :P, Good Melo, Just finish up on the rest, even though it already does sound a bit finished, the little break towards the end is a little off/ feeling, the Intro is great, how it feels as if the sound jumping around, and then it comes full, building up properly.

Get it done!
PS: In alot of your songs ive noticed that they arent exactly high-quality, you have 7MG to fill up, imo, use it all too your best ability!

Rukkus responds:

Thanks for the great review man. And ik, up until this point, ive still been a noobie at making music-learning as i go. So i'll def up the quality when i render it. Much appreciated.

[NEON :: Px]

cool

Pretty cool synths, good beat, great melody, Isn't too repetitive while keeping progressive and changing things up here and there.

5/5
8/10

GrantProjectXero responds:

[sadly happy - josh]

thanks

this melody and how you brought it out is fucking amazing, its so sweet and brightens what im going thru as of now, Im sure if I wanted to critisize things i can but the synth and melody is so fucking sweet and beutifull.

thecokebitch responds:

whoa haha, best review for anything so far.... but seriously, if you do like this, have a listen to:
'neopolitan dreams' by Lisa Mitchell

its amazing haha

[Stuck In Madness]

Meh

Way too many presets, atleast make them sound a bit more different, way repetitive, preset molodies >.>

joseepabloo responds:

well thx for the advice, but i used just 2 presets, that' s not a lot to me :)

[StianK_DagenDerpå_(BeatSource)]

cool

Although I can't understand the lyrics, its real lovely, I could definitly tell your style at :45, Always those nice synths

Ethalyn responds:

Wow thanks man :) Hehe looks like you reviewed just before i posted the lyrics ;) Thanks a bunch ^_^

[**==HappyTranceDance==**]

cool

The first part of the song, the synth reminded me alot of Daft Punk, but it gets repetitive, and you start using alot of presets, with a bit of tweaking they wont sound like that at all ( and just a bit ) :D, otherwise it was alright, gl.

monk1 responds:

Aw dude if I could make music like Daft Punk... *drools with joy, and a little Attention Deficit*

I really don't much about Tweaking the instruments, other than the X and Y levels, and anytime I mess with anything else I end up regretting it, or it loses sound, so I usually don't bother.

Still Glad you liked it!

Thanks for Review!

[BeatSource_Clubland Experience]

=O... =D

Awesome, I can fucking shuffle to this =D

Ethalyn responds:

YESH! =D Shuffle the day away! ^_^

[Heaven's Missive]

Yep

It just sounds like it's missing somthing, everything is fine but for now it's seeming like some type of ambient wavy-ness, the bass sounds a bit wierd, the strange eerie vibing sounds are unusual, what this needs is somthing big too come into it, maybe a better (or put one in) melody, but good work so far, it just sounds unfinished, and like you said really monotonus, and it didn't seem uplifting at all for me.

-Tykwa

Good Luck.

Death-9 responds:

I'd have to agree with you. Not really psy- or goa- trance, more like ambient trance... It was late night where I was when I made this, so I was too tired to add a melody and WAY too tired to tweak some of the bad parts.

I particularly shouldn't have added the little noise that kicks in at like 0:29, but I liked the sound when I was listening to it by itself... It's the only time I used it :P

I'm not too good with automation, so I added the bass-line individually. My fingers hurt from that...

Unfinished- Yes, and I doubt I'll make a finished version. I'd love to have the full version of FL Studio 8, but I only have the demo so far :(.

Anyways, thanks for the review :) I hope to make a song every week, but I make no promises.
