Aydin-Jewelz123's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Verplex]

Nice drop dude, especially the second bit at 0:50. Damn do i hate string bits in drops though :/

Track is very cool on the whole dude. Especially the section just before your breakdown.

Who is this guy you're remixing btw?

His voice is blehhhhh but I guess it's dedicated to him.

Future bass bit is cool :)

MrKoolTrix responds:

Thanks for the feedback. :)

The guy's Verplex, a musician. You can check out his stuff in this track's description. ^_^

[Beautiful Things (Andain)]

Holy crap dude! Very nice!!!

Sounds like Oceanlabs sirens of the sea, especially the singing and the way the track flows.

Very nice dude!

What equipment did you use for mixing?

Sounds so clean and full!

D-Chain responds:

haha much appreciated. and you are right about coming close to Oceanlabs Sirens of the Sea.
i dont really use equipment.. just fruity loops, bunch of vst's and ofcourse that acapella. Oh and a decent enough pc that can handle most plugins (times 3) available for fruity loops and beyond.
Have a gut one Aydin!

[endK - BattleChipZ]

When you double up on those notes <3

Smashed it out the park dude!!!!

Very nice piece with fantastic flow and sustained energy.

Good luck with the contest.

endKmusic responds:

Almost a year since the song and the contest. ;p
It's been a while, but I'm glad someone's still listening and enjoying it.
Thanks once more! ^_^

[endK - Plug & Slay]

Very cheeky piece! Immediately smiled upon hearing. Strong start to the piece and maintains the energy throughout.

Your Skyrim chants were a nice touch.

Havent much critical to say dude.

Nice work! Very clean mix too, considering you have so many elements, it all glues together well :)

endKmusic responds:

Hey!
Much thanks, glad you enjoyed it.
Really appreciate the review!
<3

[Round 123 (Pixel Day)]

Awesome sounds dude! Reminds me of Infectonator the flash game.

55 seconds is nuts, that delayed arp is very cool!

You should hit up some flash artists with this. It would fit well in a game. Any plans for a longer version?

Only feedback would be to tweak the hats a bit around 55 and during the drop. It takes up a smidge too much room in your mix.

Want anymore reviews just lemme know :)

5TanLey responds:

dunno, I think the length is just right :)

thanks for the tips

[Badass Battle Music]

Composition wise a solid piece. Your vsts and pianos sound too fake though dude :(

Sprinkle some reverb on the ends and elongate the notes between sections. Also play around with individual note dynamics and change the note timing by a few milliseconds here and there so it doesnt sound so midi like.

Rest of the track is cool and your melodies are awesome.

Make it longer too!! Your best bit was at the end with the switchup, where the battle was just about to take off!

ScottJacob responds:

Hey man, thanks for the feedback! I definitely struggle with my production skills so i appreciate all the tips you have.

[Night Lights]

Very floaty, up there in the stars type vibes.

The intro and drops are very chilled and sweet. The transition between the two wasnt quite right. Not sure why but it caught me off. Maybe have a slight more emphasis on the build into it? I think it's your transition from high pass to regular on the reverb of the vocals thats throwing it off a bit. Rather than a smooth shift, its immediate which gives a clipped feel. Not sure if your playing with the stereo imaging too right before the drop, but the drop needs smoothing out. Let the bass and other elements take up the bottom end and keep your high passed on then gently fade it lower and out.

Otherwise a great track dude.

Well done!

5TanLey responds:

yea, I need to work on my transitions, thanks for the tips again :)

[Tension]

Nice hand drums dude. Well nice playing on all the instruments tbh!

Such a percussion driven piece.

Would fit perfectly in a South American crime movie!

2:10 is nuts dude!!!!!!!!!!

What is that?????

Almost reminds me of black hawk down with hans zimmer!

Nice work dude, really really fantastic towards the end.

Cant say much about the mixing, sounded fine on headphones tbh! Will need to have a closer listen on my monitors.

Anymore tracks like this one?

ADR3-N responds:

Hey, thanks! I actually hadn't played brass for years before I did this piece. I rescued the instruments, including my snare, after my dad's place had been looted since his passing, literally a couple days before recording this.

That's a shenai. It's an Indian instrument similar but not quite like a violin, usually played in minor over a drone note.

Glad you liked it! There might be a few. Oncoming Storm is another background theme, and maybe The Death, and maybe Urban Vibe.

[[Remix] Rolling in the Deep - Adele]

Nice! Saw the title and clicked straight away.

Track itself is cool. The drop is the best bit I reckon, the power of that gritty synth fits well with her voice.

Also 1:21 transition was awesome!

Cool dude

SkullPioneer responds:

Thxs!

[Eye of the Storm]

Nice use of space. Track feels very large right off the bat. I wonder, have you tried increasing the volume of the center a bit more, especially in the intro? Just to give it some more close proximity prescence?

Very nice overall just a bit over spaced in the earlier parts. 1:16 onwards is absolutely nuts!!!!! That guitar!!!!!!!!!

Like with the other one though, your panned cymbal is taking my attention too much.

Great work on everything else though :)

KrinnValKhristi responds:

I have instilled the premise in which you speak in my recrodings since this particular piece was posted.

I have sinced learned a lot about how compression effects clean signals etc...

I actually like this little idea I had and I think I might remake it lol.

Thanks for commenting! It brought me back to this piece!
