NoStereo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The opening theme for our anime]

I love the chords, but honestly the melody just sounds like random notes. There is some obvious structure to it but no melodic journey. I would probably bump the bpm up a bit too (depending on where you take the melody) unless the anime is going to have a sad/contemplative theme. I also agree with @Aleysis that there needs to be something alongside the piano. Some celli would add a lot to this.

Belthagor responds:

It does? I used arp for the melody so it should sound very structured? O.O

[Twinkly (Loop Version)]

I'd like to hear some more reverb in the mix, as well as a longer release on the pad. But that is definitely an opinion. It would make a great track for some sort of mysterious cave, lab or something. Some more variation probably wouldn't hurt though.

The reason it doesn't loop properly is because of mp3. No idea why they decided this, but in mp3s there is a split second of silence before and after the audio.

CandySweetssJr responds:

I didn't know that :/ . Welp, there's nothing I can do, since only mp3s are allowed. Thanks!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

VoicesByCorey responds:

You mean yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeessssssssssssssssssssssssss

[Derpcat - Dubstep Overdoze (AlieN Remix) (Dubstep/Riddim)]

Solid and clean! Some of the high tones are a bit piercing though, mainly from the sampled speech in the first half. Great job on the bass.

AlienNinjaGD responds:

thank u!

[Purple Dream]

Really unique song! Love the uniting of genres. Needs a lot of mixing work though you are really hitting the limiter and the song is suffering for it.

Still dance-able af though

Edit: well the whole thing really needs to be leveled out and redone imo but :50 - 1:25, 1:50 - 2:27 are two big parts having a lot of stuff going on and fighting for attention.

Take everything down several decibels and tweak it until everything sounds clear, use some filters as well to cut out unnecessary tones that muddy the mix. Then on the master you can boost it, I recommend peaking at -1 dB. you may also want to consider cutting out the sub 25 Hz tones to reduce ear fatigue.

ent850 responds:

Yeah it is a bit to loud. Could you tell me what part especially needs more mixing work? Thanks

[We, Ghosts - 京奇怪談]

Some of the high tones are a bit piercing but wow this is a crazy cool song! Those vocals, damn they are awesome.

Precipitation24 responds:

Thank you!!
That is on of the problems. I wish I could have sugarcoat the sounds more successfully....

[How to thwart scammers (Midori's Take)]

Needs a lot of noise reduction, are you using any post processing tools or taking steps to reduce background noise? The voice acting itself is good though, not much to say there.

Edit: I like the topic, I'm a big fan of taking a step against hackers. A person who is not savvy with computers would be able to take this advice as real tech advice and feel safe following them. You might want to give directions on how to end task (say pressing ctrl+alt+del) and giving instructions on how to turn off the modem (unplugging the cord)

Edit2: I hear a lot of white noise and some of what I think is slight electronics humming. There is a lot of reduction in between your lines but I can definitely hear it while you are talking.

Here is a picture showing some of the noise in between lines, I can't really show the noise during your talking of course :) https://i.imgur.com/wEce12C.png

Belthagor responds:

What do you think about the topic though? (The information.)

[Wilieu - BLLLEES]

really wildly cool ambient mix in the beginning!

Wilieu responds:

Thank you

[Tomorrow]

Awesome work, love the flow. Good to see you around!

OMG, YOU USED THE CLASSIC RISER! xD

EctiBot responds:

Thanks, glad you liked it:D.
THE RISER NEVER DIES!!!

[Ry3 - Mind Melter (feat. SpockAndStep)]

It's hard to tell from the beginning that it's gonna be riddim, I love it.

The genre is repetitive so the trick is repeating stuff that sounds good. I think you pretty much nailed that. You also were able to give the song an actual melody instead of just being all wub no love. The mix is legit, I think you may have just turned me into a riddim fan.
This gets a rare 5/5 from me.

Ry3Official responds:

Thanks so much for the awesome comment! I’m glad you enjoyed it! :)
