Jahn33's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Von Neumann]

Definitely loving this song. You said it was more in your face but it sounds a little held back to me.
The vocals are a little out of place and stand out but don't blend with the music, and it's the same thing over and over..

OcularNebula responds:

good critique

I am still really bad at mastering, so I'm not entirely sure why it sounds held back (I mean, my compression settings are essentially random most of the time, but I'm sure there are other issues here, too)

5 minutes was perhaps a bit much for this piece, given the repetition - especially the middle (I was initially planning on having more additional layers, and by "planning" I mean I had some vague ideas about what I wanted, but it didn't quite work out)

I feel like I often squander a decent idea by having poor development and iteration, so your feedback makes a lot of sense to me

[Obsolete Sky]

I like that beginning plucky sound, the kick is a little weak could be more punchy (or if you like it that way so be it) Thank you for not using the same drum loop for 5 minutes. It's simple at the beginning then you spice up very nice very nice. kind of average and quite though.

OcularNebula responds:

yep, always on point

the most frustrating thing is probably having a song like this end up being too quiet

it always feels like a compromise between distorting the initial balance and shape of sounds with post production and the overall punch of a track, though I am actually in no position to be concerned with the "purity" of sounds, just because I don't typically have the level of control required to make a significant difference, but I think I do usually prefer a dryer mix (largely due to laziness)

[Seek Bromance Remix]

Sounds a little repetitive. The vocals fit well.

DJMERKEREE responds:

Hey thanks a lot man, honestly the acapella was edited well enough that there wasn't too much warping required, just finding the right key.

[Void]

Not a big fan of industrial music so my review might be a bit ehhh but IF I did like industrial music I guess this song would be cool.. Me myself likes the lyrics, except when you yell.

Spoonukem responds:

There's a wide range in Industrial, and this song is really pushing it. Bottom line, it's very experimental. The ending with the screaming is probably the only real Industrial thing about this song, sadly. False advertising a bit, but... eh. I don't like genres.

Thanks for the review nonetheless! >:D

[MyBoyfriend makesme happy]

Verry simple, very creative. It's good to express your feelings in music. I'm happy for you two.

Genraltweet responds:

Aw, thanks! :D Music is the best way to express yourself when you find no words to say

[EnNinja - The Epic Jump]

Cant say it's my favourit sung... It's like 2 sounds battleing baq and forth.
Cant say it's the worst ever though...

Might want an equipment upgrade *cough cough no more club create how about fl studio cough*

EnNinja responds:

Doesn't have a PC yet but soon :/

[Azure Apex]

Jolly good show, though the kick is verry baisic it's what makes house-house right? I like that it changes up every once in a while to keep it interesting. The ending made me giggle for some reason, idk im weird, good song though, cant say it's the best I have ever heard, but if all songs were perfect what would we do without the need for improvement ( Correct me if i'm wrong )

P.S. It dose loop pretty fine, accident? Probably, ive had it happen.

BTW: Sorry this wasn't exactly helpful, i'll try harder next time.

OcularNebula responds:

well, you're right about the kick

yeah, the ending was kinda fun and different, huh? I was initially looking for an instrument that would be somehow evocative of birds for that extra bit of melody, but instead I ended up with this?!?!?

I really enjoy the level of modesty in your critique, and yes, you are certainly correct in that we always have plenty of room to improve our skills, no matter the craft - it's probably one of the more interesting aspects of pursuing anything creative - the ability to gradually improve and notice the effect(s) it has on your work!

as for the looping, I typically cut off my endings at an even amount of measures with some *'verb n' 'lay* still trailing, so it sometimes ends up looping well :p

looking forward to more reviews from you!

[-= Infiltration =-]

Makes me think of a spy from TF2, I like your lil vocal clips you put in your songs! They be like the cherry on top of some awesome icecream. If you ever want a vocal clip but cant find one, hit me up and I'll make one free, or if your like batman thats cool too.

TheBiocide responds:

Hehehehehe, seriously appreciate the offer, dude - I'll keep it in mind!

Cheers!!!

[EnNinja - Skills On A Bottle]

Great for a song made on Clubcreate, but you should probably think about getting some real music software + Hardware. It's a little repetitive and sudden.. But what can you? Listen to my club creates then listen to my real stuff. BIG diff

EnNinja responds:

Thanks for the review! I am going to buy a PC and after that get FL studio. That has been in my mind since this summer so… yeah.

[Thunderdome]

You done good here.
p.s. i belive i deserve at least .05% credit for the crit on soundCloud :) jfk

R3SP4WN responds:

Thanks man!
