SASKID's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stink Worm (Loop)]

Made me think of Terraria for some reason? :D

It's pretty dirty I like it!

SamuraiOwl responds:

Haha I have NO idea why this would make you think of Terraria. Thanks though, I really enjoyed slapping this together.

[Regent Centre (Extended Mix)]

The tags "Piss" and "Stink" are the reason this got 5 stars for an accurate description of the Geordie Underground

Tetriform responds:

LOL
BASED

pity the metro logo I picked is too small for the disc thingy

[Don't long waves]

So the theme itself and the melodic content in the background is really really good.

The percussion lets this down, not so much the style and beats you've gone for. More the sample choice and lack of thought for the tones underneath them. It's just a dry hihat and snare with a slight kick undertone.

Take your time choosing samples, be more careful with your mastering of these elements as they can make or break a track. Even a little bit more care with volume here would have made a huge difference

Not from the review request club but saw your post on there so thought I'd check it out!

[Fang]

Had a listen through your few latest this one stood out the most.

Never give up when you have things in the pipeline, go back to them every opportunity you get. As per your description they can end up being your best.

As far as dubstep goes, this hasn't got a thing out of place. It's a fantastic example of the genre and a pleasure to listen to given I stopped listening to dubstep a long time ago. Love the tempo change after the second drop. Kept it interesting for sure.

SamuraiOwl responds:

THANK YOU SO MUCH DUDE, you have no idea how much I appreciate that!!

[Silent Echo & DJ Spyroof - Summertime]

Took me back 10 years immediately. Wish music in this style was still around. Fantastic track man!

DJSpyroof responds:

Thanks! There's still a fair amount of people that make this kind of music. Follow my YouTube for more :)

[We Don't Belong]

I have nothing to say about the music. It's amazing and a fantastic example of its genre.

All I want to say is life goes on and I wish you the best getting through your struggle at the moment. It sucks and music is a fantastic escape.

Shifterhead responds:

Aww I appreciate that but that relationship Im happy to say is in the past. I am now with someone I absolutely love. Thank you.

[Acri - Azalea]

How anyone can give this less than 5 stars is beyond me. Not knowing how the arrangement is going to be after each break, the changes definitely kept me guessing. Very unique!

For a critique, maybe look at automating your snare volume where it's not appropriate for it to be loud. Makes sense during most of the sequences but it's a bit loud at the third section around 1:44.

Acri responds:

TYSM

[Death Pudding]

All things psytrance. All the elements i'd expect in the genre.

My only critique is I wasn't a fan of the kick, something softer would have made the other elements stand out more, especially given your other percussion is softer than I'd expect in a psytrance track but fit well and don't overpower everything else like the kick does.

Orrphoiz responds:

I like it when kicksies go BOOM! c:

I'll keep this in mind for future psy projects c:

[Niem - Soulwatcher]

Cliche dubstep exactly what I'd expect. It's mixed great, I understand your pain. It can be a struggle sometimes. I think personally you should have given your highs a bit more room. It doesn't sound dull especially but not bright either.

That snare especially, should have a more crisp raspy vibe but it seems toned down for some reason. That alone would bring this track to life!

niemdubstep responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Having headphones with horribly weak high end response is really giving me trouble to judge what is too little or too much. Guess its time to get a second pair.

[Creo - Drift]

Yeah it's alright
