AliceMako's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Impertinence]

Like this a lot.

Dunno if it's intentional but it sounds like a live performance to me, slightly low fi and the verb has this medium sized venue feel.

Make more, it's a good vibe.

FightingSeraph responds:

Sounds like a good idea.

[Nu Attempt]

Quite good for a work in progress, think it'd work well as a main melody and/or refrain of sorts, very catchy and happy disco vibe.

The only thing i'm not loving here is what i hope is just a placeholder sub bass, it kinda sounds scratchy like a reversed kick sample or some such.

TBM responds:

It's a sub I use normally for harder beats (dubstep, dnb, electro) so I may soften it up quite a bit.

[Heisenberg Crystals]

This is actually really great and smooth sounding, i'm loving the lead and the beat.

I'd post it under chipstep though, this is way too cool for mere vidyagames.

Bloodtype8 responds:

Thanks theeketel! Your comment got me in a good mood. :)

[Alive again]

The slower version is a better showcase of how fat these drums sound but i like the flow in this one better, very industrial/ebm feeling to the track :D

DESHIEL responds:

I Didn't know that this feels industrial/emb. Well I don't know any genres to be honest. :D
Do you remember the previous version? Because I remember showing it to you in the past.

[Beholder]

This is really cool, thanks for sharing :3

samhin925 responds:

Thanks for listening.

[Perfect Truth]

Great voice, fun tune.

Mix sounds a touch boxed in though, dunno if it's just the lower mids giving it a crowded feeling that could use some cutting or maybe some stereoimaging to get the bass to stay put.

Overall good stuff.

SednovaNova responds:

well, the bass supposed to bleed through hard not soft or it would take away from the overall sound and music effectiveness, but I can see a point to what your saying and hearing. I did but something over the bass that isn't a bass in the verses. So, it speeds the song up at the same point balancing the bass sounds and letting it bleed without overshadowing voice or the original bass sounds. The original bass sound at the beginning is a sound created to be used in the first minute of two in the song. Then, it goes out with no issues or effect on the song. Which was my intention. Also the voice is in chorus effect. Which adds so I made sure to make sure the voice was hearable at max. So, thus you have no issues hearing the voice. It's just speed now lol.

[Speakers Blown :DJTE:]

Fun, very tongue in cheek composition.

Are you mixing this with your sub cranked up though? Cus the bass is rather soft and barely has any lower mids, i'm sure it sounds great on your end but the trick is to get it to sound great for everyone.

On that note, the gated stuff in the beginning of the track is tapping the cones and i don't mean in a pleasent way, it could do with some high shelf cutting in an eq or at least a bit of a dial back on a low pass filter.

Overall interesting vibe you got going, keep it up.

DJTechElric responds:

thanks for the review. I understand what you mean about my song.On my system everything sounds perfectly level but then i use the speakers on my laptop and i can tell what your talking about. Again thank you for the review!

[Watercraft]

Very pleasurable piece, made me feel like a highway drive during summer with a low hanging sun.

[The Carrier]

Very nice, bit of a scifi/mystery vibe to it.

The part with the drums could be a track all by it's self, prefferably with moody vocals.

[The Infinite Dream (WIP)]

Love your voice, reminds me of the singer of the cruxshadows.

This low fi piano affair sounds like the intro to an agressive powerpop ballad.

Think audioslave meets monster magnet.

jakeghost responds:

Thanks a lot for the comment- I am interested to listen to those bands you mentioned and to try writing a powerpop ballad now!
