NoStereo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Felix Zophar - PIECES (ft. Holly Rene)]

I'm so so sorry to hear about your friend 😥

FelixZophar responds:

It’s alright

[Crying alien]

Nice! Gives me feelings of Fez almost, but way more soft and chill. For some reason I'm thinking of that flash game motherload, I think it's the bass synth. Really nice, lets off feelings of nostalgia for me. You should use a crash/ride or reverse that white sound (w/ vol changes ofc) on the other side to help it loop better imo.

RealMrSnuggles responds:

thanks for the feedback

[GTB - Reflejos (ft. Diego Quiles)]

Nice song! Unfortunately I don't speak spanish very well so I can't comment on the lyrics. I like the melody, it's uncommon and very enjoyable. I'm always more of an instrumental person so I like more complexity but with lyrics you pretty much can't go wrong. I like the pad you have going on in the chorus. The beginning and ending of the song are great!

I'd like to hear some stronger singing, maybe with a better mic (you can get a decent one for 100 or so) I also think I heard some peaking on the mic so be wary of that (better mic+stand back). Overall the master is alright, a lot of the highs are clipped which isn't good for rock, reduce your choke on them and it will sound muuuch better.

Dj-Gonzo responds:

Thanks for your review! The pad was actually a slightly vocoded recording from Diego's voice with a ton of reverb and filtering. About the mic, we did our best with our current material, I tried to avoid peaking on it with compression but, in order to avoid lowering the volume too much, some of the peaking still remains. We'll try our best on our next project together, thanks for checking this out :D

[DXZX - INFINITE]

I'll scout you bro, this is pretty good. Bass drum is peaking, you might want to work on your mix. But yeah, solid track to rap over. I might personally switch things up a bit however as it *is* quite repetitive.

DXZX responds:

Thank you soo much ❤❤❤

[Felix Zophar - Far From (with AlieN)]

Hey this is pretty chill, I like this. Great job to the both of you.

FelixZophar responds:

Thank you

[~ Crimson Reactor ~]

You got something going on here. Like @hamster4682 said, I think there is still room for improvement. It just feels like it is missing something, but it does stand up well as it is right now though.

MRM3 responds:

Possibly a sub?
I have re-listened to it, and I think it could use a bit more of a sub.
Thank you for the review!! :DD

[Speech Project]

The recording sounds pretty good. I can still pick up some background noise during your speaking but it isn't excessive. As for your speaking I would work a bit on your enunciation; There are a few words you seemed to fumble over, if only slightly.

I'm going to be diving a little on the subjective side now. You should speak up a bit, in most sections you are speaking quite softly, and in others it's almost whispering. There is also very little variance on your inflection, which leads to the speech almost sounding "monotone" in a way.

Edit: Sorry @Belthagor - "Thank you very much for the feedback! I was hoping for feedback on the content as well though. :/"

I am an audio guy and tried to keep focused on that aspect. I'm not a writer so I'm not sure I'd be able to provide adequate criticism on your speech. I'll give it a go,

First off, I agree with the subject matter, that child abuse is bad, I've experienced it, not as bad as others, however. I like the introductory paragraph, and your point with CEOs and submissiveness is interesting. After the intro it falls apart a bit for me.

After a certain point, yes children do in fact know what they are doing, just because they are still developing doesn't mean that they are automatically absolved of breaking the rules. I'm not sure why you mentioned death in that first sentence as well, seemed out of place.

Actually animals, specifically monkeys, have been observed abusing their young, so it's not just a human issue, although it could be localized to hominins. I believe abuse stems from mental issues, which itself can stem from abuse, and it's at least partially, not a conscious choice.

Everything past those initial sentences in your second paragraph really lose focus, and get a little confusing. The next sentence seems to me, to be asking abusers not to have children, which is fair enough I guess. Your next sentence, is about social advancement which doesn't seem to relate to child abuse. This part "...don't know how to think, so they're thinking about it, and making new things... unlike old things which no one thinks about..." is all over the place and very confusing.

The speech ends fine, but I'm mainly left confused and feeling like I didn't learn anything.

Solar-Eudorria responds:

Thank you very much for your feedback!

[Felix Zophar - Bounty]

I'm hearing some crackling in the beginning pretty bad. Otherwise it's really good!

FelixZophar responds:

I don’t know why it’s cracking so much. I have no idea on how to fix it. For some reason when they played this at my homecoming it didn’t crack at all.

[Machine of Machines]

Yeah this is awesome. Really smooth mix too. Can't even tell you used the worst drum samples in the world, just shows it's how you use them. 0:48 blows my mind, f*king love that.

BasedGas responds:

I forced the drums to sound like that, the samples were fine but I added filters to fuck with them lmao.

[Felix Zophar - W.A.R.]

Damn, I wish I could make music like this. This review would be too long if I told you everything I liked about it, so here is what I don't like about it:

FelixZophar responds:

Haha thanks!
