5TanLey's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Vantage]

hey this reminds me of something... I dont know what... but it's definitely... something... a song... in a video... about something... a few years back... perhaps

the crashes and hats get kind of piercing after a while imo

but it has groove, a nice cheery thing, keep it up :)/)

DelitescentAria responds:

thanks :)

its a quickie to get back in the groove of making stuff
yknow, when you lose all drive to make music you just gotta put something out

even if its lazy, it helps

[life goes on]

too much bass I reckon

I'd add a tiny background pad at some point or switch instruments a bit more

but yeah, this could totally be on one of those 24/7 chillhop study beat youtube radios

have a nice life :)))))(

DelitescentAria responds:

remember that time you put distortion on the main channel

mine is a bitcrusher
;;;););)

[Not Anymore (Demo)]

hey this is actually very good, I think that with a proper production it could totally be a soundtrack for a movie or something

the slaps could be a bit quiter as already mentioned, but other than that I like it very much

I'll give it some more listens :)

...and bitches ain't shit, keep it up

[Desecrate]

look who got frontpaged (if only some people actually listened to music on NG, :---------)))

I feel like the kick (its mids especially) got lost in the busy sections

the sub is 2ghetto4me, I'd highpass it sligtly before the drop, so the drop can DROP

It's loud as fok yet not much ear raping, so gj.. though you could turn the master gain a dB or 3 or 5, since some sections distort SLIGHTLY (1:43)

merry christmas yo

DelitescentAria responds:

wee im getting more decent by the minute!

happy new year yo (soon enough anyways)

[Side Stepping]

yeah mix is a bit whacky indeed, but musically it's not bad at all, definitely has some flow, nice chill stuff

though hi hats are really piercing, the synth that joins at 1:40 as well, so I'd make them quiter

aaand mp3 is trash only if you let it be trash, 320 kbps one is totally alright

keep it up :)

[-ganon95- The Liquid Fact]

musically it's pretty good, nice progression going on, underwater atmosphere on point

also cool synth sounds, I would only scoop some lows from the kick and make the sub bass line more prominent but other than that the mix works totally fine to me

not much to say, overall it sounds like you know what you're doing, good luck with future production :)

ganon95 responds:

there are actually things about this song i kinda want to change, one of them is the second thing you mentioned. maybe some day ill come back to this track and update it

[Strive]

aiming at holywood soundtracking now?

the piano remotely reminds me of the pirates of the carribean... shame it sounds like FL keys, either cover it in reverb or delay or torrent something better... also Piano One vst is very Ok and for free

I think there could be more variations in the violin/piano (and/or harp or something) runs, they get quite monotonous after a while

the rest of the tune works alright :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

DelitescentAria responds:

>sounds like fl keys
...
it is fl keys
well butter up my toaster for a nice bath bomb :)))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))

thx tho

[untitled1]

is that piano recorded live at least? sounds very ok

add some sub yo

DelitescentAria responds:

me? being good at an instrument?
bruh

(with the notes i have on there its not possible)

(moreover im trash at actual playing)

[Epic Idea 1]

I imagine this as some aaa rpg game soundtrack,

nice dynamics and progression really, got minor goosebumps

can't give much technical advice or so since I've never tried making anything like this

it's pretty good really, sounds like you know what you're doing, keep it up :)

[Fxn^l €xxrcx$me [prod : Anathem]]

what the hell man

arrangement - total randomness - it's just bunch of bad sounds thrown together, no structure whatsoever, bass is

those effects are solid ear rape

mixdown - overbassed muffled mess - not much to say really

try watching some tutorials on youtube about a trap track arrangement and mixing

good luck
