SASKID's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Odd Bliss]

So this is how you write a review. Just for future reference.

Start is good, i love anything that starts with a piano although i find it has poor EQ. When the drums kick in, they don't drown it out and the mixing of the drums is pretty much perfect. The kick has a lovely punch to it.

When the arp/pluck starts at 0:16 it drowns out the piano and wasn't a good choice of instrument, something a bit more subtle would have added depth and given the song a chance to build. I'm afraid from here it get's too muddy as far as mixing goes which is quite poor.

The song just then starts unexpectedly losing instruments before starting with the piano and pluck again.

Structure is poor, instrument choice was good but could have been better. Drums were well mixed.

3/5

[ChiTx]

Very unique style which is good! too many people follow the main stream stuff these days.

Again like my other review, it's just all about your mixing :)

xturox responds:

Well thank you unique who knows now days but i try different stuff

[M72417]

I've give you a 5 to keep you up in the list.

Awesome ideas but you need to be mixing your drums better. The kick needs more OOMPH, the hi-hats are nice and the arps used are well mixed and fit together. Around 1:00 your hi-hats are a little loud but don't take anything away from the track.

1:35 the arp here is awesome and deep. I love that sound!

I can see you're pretty new to whatever software you're using (FL Studio isn't it?) you definitely have the ideas.. just need to work on the execution :) Keep it up!

xturox responds:

Thanks you and i am just playing around I'm still experimenting.

Absolutely lovely composition, melodies etc and those plucks are my personal favourite point.

Lovely and clear, mastering is extremely well done.

Can't fault it :)

Dj-Waffel responds:

Thx :3

[Segassem Lanimilbus]

This is the trippiest thing i've ever heard in my entire life, i really enjoyed it actually :D

The sound effects, melody/chord progression throughout was solid and didn't at all sound off key.

Only thing i could suggest is play with your EQ a bit more to make sounds standout from one another

Awesome! 5/5

Cacola responds:

Glad you liked it!
Good advice about the EQ, I'll keep that in mind!

[Skirmish (Collab)]

Awesome unique little piece of work you guys have put together. Lots of variation and interesting breakdowns. Love it :D

[Epic Dubstep Loop]

The square lead makes this track. Then the wobbles come in and i get an errection.

I'd continue doing dubstep. You're good at it!

PhatBoiJ responds:

LMAO! xD

[Darkside 2012]

Sounds like Techno, Sounds fast paced, Sounds amazing.

Has all the elements you need :D i'd agree with your decision to finish this off. So much potential!

[Dance Machine (Loop)]

Get's repetitive towards the end. But don't let that make you think that's my criticism because it isn't.

This song is amazing, and i mean amazing. Mixed beautifully, nothing is muddy.

The plucks and melody are what get me at 0:50 they sound amazing together, yet are so simple. I love simple catchy melodies, and the breakdown at 1:10 just kicks it off. If i haven't said it already THIS SONG IS AMAZING.

[A Fractured Dimension]

This is good, lots of variation. But i can't seem to connect with this piece compared to the newer one you uploaded. Still a great submission to the Genre, it has everything you'd expect :D

PhatBoiJ responds:

Yeah, immediately after uploading it I began to fool around with the arps and the strings and came up with a hard hitting sound. Then all I did was add the usual dubstep drum loops and made the bassline. Insta-dubstep xD.
