Aydin-Jewelz123's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[ahjin-Last pt2]

Hands in the air feel good vibes going.

Nice melodies and the supporting piano helps fill the space.

Only thing that's maybe pulls the track back a bit are the piano chords, especially earlier in the song like first drop / first minute.

Something about chords and piano just cheapens it.

1:25 is lovely btw!

Hope this is useful, keep up the good work!

ahjin0107 responds:

uoo! really thanks for listening my song and feedbacks!!!!

[MOOD_ESPLOSIVO.code::GRANATA=SCURA/.]

Amazing!! What language is it?

The vocals are superb, the backing track and ambience, notation, drums and everything else go really well together.

Awesome work!

Troisnyx responds:

It's a constructed language called Hymmnos, made for the series of games Ar tonelico. Fan works involving the games' universe have been allowed to use and build upon the Hymmnos language, but not use the script that was specifically designed for it in the games (which, in my mind, looks hideous anyway ;; ).

Glad you enjoyed this one— I'll be sure to pass the message along to everyone involved!

[Loading Drivers]

Nice pads on the intro. The sound selection seems a bit off though. Like the snare is quite cliché. Anyway, nice rolls / variation on the snares, composition wise.

The pads and synths are okay. That backing synth at 1:15 or so is strong as is the melody at 1:30.

Your low past drum bit shortly after that sounds like it popped to early. The drums at the drop are nice and complex.

You need to glue the sections together a bit more.

Other than that dude, good job!

feandesign responds:

Thanks a lot man, much appreciated! Yeah, I should definitely find or make myself some better drum samples, especially the snare which in fact is the legacy one from FL Studio lol... I'll surely need to work harder on other projects in the future, anyway I'm glad you liked it!

[endK - Ruby Saloon]

Strong video game vibes with some damn juicy flows! Those melodies and the sax vibes with the supporting melody rolls / arps are beautiful. Awesome work!

endKmusic responds:

Damn. Much appreciated, man. Really glad you dig it. :)

[Phractle - Techno Machine]

Some next experimental sounds in the intro! Setting a dystopia type tone right off the bat. Your panning and sustained bits are nice at the start. You should take it into a new section after the panning. So your drums etc. come after that pan, and have the pan end up more in center right as it drops.

Interesting sounds for sure! Cool stuff :)

Would fit better in Experimental or maybe Minimal section rather than Techno.

The breakbeat is awesome. Nice idea! 2:32 should come at a different part though. The beat change undoes your strong breakbeat bit.

Hope this helps.

OPFX responds:

Very constructive review. Much appreciated man. You're helping me improve!

[Bastion of Dreams]

Has a very runner feel, with cyberpunk elements. Awesome.

The pads are great, the beat and flow of the piece is solid. The lead melodies are nice too dude.

The track has a good flow to it, good stuff dude.

Stroberider responds:

I can see what you mean, Aydin. Thanks for the review and score, man!

[Midnight]

Different sounds! Interesting piece dude. Sounds like the ocean, and whales, don't know what it is about the piece that gives that vibe but it definitely takes you to another landscape.

Very cool dude, any chance of a longer version?

Things I liked:
- The pads and your sort of repeating noise, e.g. 1:38, that melody, it really sets the tone of the piece
- Your hi hats sit really well in the mix, as does your snare
- The pacing, it really slows the listener down and brings them to another zen like vibe

Awesome work man.

Any longer version in the works or similar stuff?

LucidDebate responds:

thanks for the great feedback! I could toy around and see if I can make a longer version. but I am definitely hoping to produce some similar sounding tracks soon! glad you enjoyed it :)

also, you might enjoy my songs "afterglow" and "spark" if you like this one!

venussoda responds:

thank you! glad you liked the song and the sample with it haha, i may do an extended version of it, i'll send it to you if done

[False South - Creature Encounter]

PHAT.

Great synth.
Good drums.
Your snare is a smidge overpowering.
Chuck more elements to the sides to give it more space.
Great build up and drops.
Solid vocals.
Great drops.
Loud as f***!! :D

Your wobbles are damn clean dude. Good work!

Falsesouth responds:

Honestly I agree with this feedback. I'll continue to develop my mixes more precisely. Thank you :D

[CAN (2019 Rework)]

Yo, we got some true 90s / early 2000s vibes going on here! That piano and those drums are beautiful my friend! Has a very classic feel to it and good vibes going on. Getting my head nodding too and your melodies around the 2:30 mark are fantastic.

One thing if I was being critical, let that bass come through a smidge more in the mid section, not the second drop, that was fine tbh. I think maybe when the bass and piano are alone, the bass could come a bit more through and on the second drop, because you have another synth layered, it sits better behind. Not sure. Something about the second drop makes the bass glue fine but on the first half of the song it feels like it could come through a smidge more.

Great stuff and all the best with your album!

JohnnyFrizz responds:

Thank you for the awesome and in-depth review my friend! I totally agree with you on the bass critic, I feel the same way, that is why it was kinda difficult to mix, if I pump up the mid frequencies, then the sections with the sidechained pad started sounding messy so that's why I had it sit where it is. But I totally get where you're coming from, will have to try out new mixing techniques to improve on that :)
