Aydin-Jewelz123's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Nickel and Dime]

Absolutely solid! Great job gents!

All you dudes need is a vocalist ontop! Would be perfect.

[Lollipop]

Nice one dude! Your build up is very happy hands in the air, nice use of vocal chops and some fun melodies to go with it. The following drop IS FULL HANDS IN THE AIR!

Very fun track dude, the 1:29 vocals are very fun.

Great job :)

NexoMusic responds:

Thank you! :D

[Ásum - Galaxy [Xtra]]

Interesting sounds dude!

What's new about this genre dude? What other stuff you got in the genre?

It has a very drumstep kinda feel but ambient vibes and yet is melodic with quite a rhythmic element throughout with that low flute like instrument..

Interesting piece dude.

Very experimental!

Keep up the good work.

DarkInRed responds:

Thanks!

[Flight]

Lovely vocal chops and a strong backing bassline to go with it. Very nice flows to the piece.

1:21 breakdown is nice and the build up is decent.

The following drop needs some more punch to it though. Like the power of the drop and the section before is very similar. Some suggestions:
- Chuck the vocals an octave up on the drop and speed it up
- Heavier drums on the drop, especially the kick
- MOARRR risers with a slight gap of a bar or half a bar on the 8th bar before the drop, with just the vocals
- A kick with a reverb on it on the drop, so it punches it's way in
- Perhaps a reverse snare before the drop or reversed vocals
- Quieten the vocals after the drop and down the reverb on them with the focus being more on your bassline

Good work overall dude, keep it up!

M4Music responds:

Got it! Thanks!

[Path of the Samurai (ScIII)]

Clean sounds with some nice vocals. Which game is this from?

Decent track dude, I'd say you should focus a bit on the mixing side, it sounds a bit over compressed?

The bitcrushed cymbals is a nice touch and your second drop melodies are off the hook, very nice to hear!

Good stuff, keep up the good work :)

verjamon responds:

It's on the title, SCIII (soul Calibur 3), mitsurugi's voice, thanks for the review :)

[Hey]

Agreed on that last bit xD

Track itself is a bit on the heavy side dude, like it feels over compressed?

The high ends aren't really punching through your mix, sounds like it's behind a tape or underwater a bit.

Onto the composition itself, pretty old school beats, I like it, getting my head bopping. The piano bits blend well with it too. Gets a smidge repetitive I'd say, the chord progression anyway, which is fine for old school but you could switch it up by glitching it or chopping it up somewhat? Or add some DJ scratching into it?

The vocal at 2:40 is SO nice!! Also at 3:20!

Overall enjoyed it dude, just like you said, the mixdown.

Question, what did you put on your master fx channel?

The track itself is being held back so much by the mixing man :(

Good job otherwise though :)

Darkmaster603 responds:

Thanks for taking the time! I know it sounds cliche but I was purposefully going for a lofi sound. I cut the highs. There's actually no pianos in this track is all guitars and heavy heavy reverb/delays/chorus with some vocals. Besides the kit obviously. Its a custom made track for her video as background music so I made it a bit repetitive and not intrusive to just be there while there's a time lapse of make up. I may end up adding some glitching to spice it up though.

You're right though lofi is no excuse for a sloppy mix ill be working on that when I get time.

The master channel is just maximus.

[C o f f e e [Phonk]]

ooooo yeaaaaaaah

Very smooth track! Very vapor esque!

Love it man, those proper elevator vibes!

Got a nice rhythm to it and that flute roll at 50 is beautiful to hear. The glitch bits on the snares rolls, the selection of voice and the way you've weaved it into the track is awesome. I'd take out the "hey hey hey" from the latter parts though, it's so damn Brostep even though I sometimes use it too. For this beauty, it needn't be used.

Absolutely nailed the genre dude and your panned bits are much pleasing to my primitive ears :D

Great stuff! All the best with your podcast!

DreamEater responds:

Thank you so much for your extremely detailed review, I very much appreciate it :). I’m incredibly greatful for your feedback 😁

[XenoXenon - Live Or Die]

The 300 Spartans are here!

Cool piece dude. What's the idea behind the structure of it?

The themes are quite consistent and heavily 300 style.

Your synth towards the end is a nice touch and the drums are quite epic dude.

Good job!

Anymore like this or any longer ones?

XenoXenon responds:

Thanks and yes I have a longer cinematic one like this , Shadows By Me

[Alone]

Whats a Rondo form?

Interesting composition dude. The song fits your narrative but my gosh is that a scary one to face.

1:50ish and the following bits are the highlights for me. It's as if there is a resolution but nothing special. Just an acceptance.

Cool work dude, I like songs with a story to them :)

dude2312 responds:

Don't quote me on it as I am in no way classically trained. But Rondo is a type of composition where you eventually go back to the beginning. You know how there's different types of compositions for example: A - Intro, B - verse, C - bridge?

Rondo form usually goes with ABA, ABACA, or even ABACABA. It all comes down to getting back to your root. And it is perfect for story telling in my opinion.

It seems you got the feeling I was going for and that is amazing! "Just the acceptance" That was beautiful, man.

Cheers!

[Concept De jure]

Immortal technique style beat ohhhhh, maybe even Tony Hawks esque with that flute.

Awesome dude.

So smooth!

Any longer version in the works?

DJDureagon responds:

There's always a longer version in the works.
