Jahn33's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sweetie Linda]

Great song, with a bit of mix-mastering work could definitely sound a bit better but I understand the struggle working with a bedroom studio

ConnorDeVaux responds:

Not even a whole bedroom, just a little corner hahaha

[Spirit Ride]

Background riff with the hammer-pull slide hits the spot!!
Lyrics are good too. Rhythm guitar seems to either have a phaser? or sometimes it's a by-product of weird reverb from mic placement, in either case it kinda makes it seem a little out of place to me.

Love the gritty sound of that drumkit ! Did we get a little of-beat at 1min 50 sec ish? lol good work powering past it and recovering quick

Overall I dig the song, seems a tad bit repetitive, but the focus is on the vocal melody.

ConnorDeVaux responds:

It's just a Chorus effect but I think I had it up a little high then dampened it down, might've given it some kinda distorting sound like a phaser. Yeah, I'm trying not to pen repetitive stuff but i liked this one and I couldn't figure a fitting swing or change but that happens sometimes I suppose. Thanks a lot for the kind review :)

[How Can I Exist]

Piano melody reminds me of the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack, loved it up until 0:29 personally don't like trap / hip-hop style beats but honestly the production quality is so high I can appreciate it still as a technically good song. Dope track.

SomebodysHero responds:

thanks a ton! i never used to like trappy stuff but i want to expand with my sound. thank you a lot!

[It's Too Late (Alt Recording)]

Nice jam, could use some mastering but generally the style is super dope

ConnorDeVaux responds:

I agree it needs a touch up but its an old download of a song from another computer so I can't really get into the guts of it to mess around sadly.

[no backdoor]

Truly an awesome track musically, love the vocals too and the lyrics but it seems like there's some distorted clipping on the vocal mic?

Bitbeak responds:

There definitely is a bit of that, may go in and do some lucas style edits to clean it up a bit haha

Appreciate the feedback!

[ambient thing]

Yoshiii343 responds:

Another dope track, drums sound real gritty I dig the style.

ConnorDeVaux responds:
