Tykwa's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Left Behind (system error)]

wrrghllg

the synth doesn't really follow the drums really well and sounds out of sync, when you have the guitar come in, it seems a little bit to distorted ( or not enough) the drums are a little too basic for industrial imo, the stuff you have going on at 1:37 sounds pretty good, what you start going with from 3:00 and on just all sounds really out of whack, if you were aiming for some wierd stuff, you did pretty well, although the little breathing effect was done nicely though.

DEaDPixEL09 responds:

Yes its called a noise breakdown. I want to bring back old school industrial and mix it with the new school and add whatever elements i feel like adding. I'm not trying to sound like everyone else, that would be too boring. But I appreciate the feedback.

[Guitar Ballad Loop]

fucking tits

I really liked this one, the claps didnt seem out of the ordinary, the gee-tar sounded pretty without being too strange, although some parts seemed to glide a bit to long and seemed a little out-a-tuney~

djroadworks responds:

thanks :)

btw whats with the "fucking tits" title?

Is that a good thing? bad thing? or just a random thing?

:P

Cheers

[Torchestra loops]

ehhh ewha

really aggressive, but the claps don't sound like they belong here at all, you tried to bring alot of things together in this piece, but not alot of them flow together at all.

Centrist responds:

Ah, alright. Thanks for the review!

[Violent Ones]

mrrmrbl

this was pretty wierd until themelo came in, I thought the paning drum things werent going to fit, but they did, when you bring in the twinkling stuff at :42, it sounds pretty bad, could have used somthing else instead of that imo, from there you kinda bring in different synths to replace it, but they are all kinda bad, the left/right panning is really annoying and repetitive around 2:00~, you have a little break at 2:12 with the noise-pan still going on, what you have here, the synths sounds better, but seems a little dragged on, could have added the bass somewhere in here, you eventually remove one of the noise-pans, but the one remains doesn't sync in with anything.

[Nickflash - Bee song]

bahahlala

the beginning is really in your face, the synth seems a little too powerfull, the cymbol you have going is a bit too powerfull, the voice is alright, when the piano comes in it gets repetitive quite fast, and the synth follows next, personally the song starts at around 1:15, could have used some more vocal usage though, try doing a break with vocals and bringing in some bass n drums.

[A Bit Tropic]

groopy

sounds pretty groovy, a little bit too short to be a melo, couldn't really stand a 3 or so second loop, the drum work is subtle, the cowbell adds a little flavor but is a bit too loud, the synth could use some oomph or fx

falling responds:

Appreciate the feedback. Thanks

[Zaffers Stole My Bike]

Ehh

ehh, can't really say anything, other than you used some presets with a voice loop, and a little drum work, not a whole lot of effort went into this.

VigorousJammer responds:

Definitely a fair criticism. I was fairly new to song creation when I made this, and I never really pursued it after this.
As for the instruments, they were all stock, as was the voice... not sure if that's what you meant by presets or not. I did used note patterns that I placed myself, and re-used them a couple of different times in different configurations.
I do agree with you, though... it didn't come out that great, it's just kind of bland and boring.

[Please Say Yes]

deedoowee

the drumwork seems a little too compressed and heavy, too prominent, its a little hard to listen to the melo, and sounds more like DnB if anything else, the bass that comes in at 1:11 needs some tuning, it sounds a little whack.

dicennian responds:

I actually tuned it, guess that one is up to taste then - anyhow. The drums are now fixed =D (Thanks for the review)

[Dj Jagen-Sanctuary]

reeevi

the drums sound pretty bad, the melo is alright, but you just add some more drum efx into this, the beginning of this song really didnt have much to offer, however you definitly changed things up at :34, sounds much better, although I think you should remove that hit sound ( bing bing bing ), when you bring in another arp it starts sounding a bit complicated.

[liquid dreams]

okaa

the bass towards the beginning seems a little to strong and you have the drums already going so they get a little repetitive, after the short break the bass doesn't sound right to me at all, but it picks itself back up at the next few notes, :58, this is probably my favorite part, you have some ambient stuff going through, and the piano comes in and finishes things up.

combatplayer responds:

Lol yeah. Know abaut the crappy masterings n stuff. As it says in the text up there, it is based on the breakdown with all the ambience. The rest was mainly to form a track.

Thanks for a constructive review. When i buy the full vertion of fruity loops i'll finish it and look into the points u mentioned.
