Will's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Episode 25 - ACOCk Community Talk #1]

Scouted everyone, we all here

[First Step : Adventure of the Seas - Jessie Yun]

Wow! I can feel the rush in this one, great energy.

What's the time sig in this? 6/4?

JessieYun responds:

Hi willKMR,
Thank you very much for the comment!
Ooh, that's was pretty close to what you can hear. But it's a tricky song! It's 4/4.

[Multicellular [jam]]

Very relaxing. Cool tone on synth1!

Mich responds:

Thanks!

[At the Ends of the Earth]

Awesome stuff! Chills at 1:40!

[''Game Developing'']

Hawking really bares his soul here

[Timohi - Babulia]

Love it

What a great, hilarious sound. I'd probably end up using this for some bloopers video or something if I ever get the chance. Awesome job, sorohanro and friends

Timohi responds:

Thanks :)
hope you'll participate to the remix contest, will be on this song ;)

[Rig - Moar]

You breathe life into 3xOsc!

Great track here Rig, I'm really enjoying this :)

Rig responds:

Thanks! I, too, am enjoying this.

[Because We Can (feat. MrSaint)]

Why? Because we can!

Great line, whoever thought of that originally must be a freakin' genius!

Mich responds:

The man below you thought of that line. :p
Glad you liked it!

[Dusty Old Consoles [8bit]]

Great melody, but a bit muddy

First of all, it's a great arrangement and the tune is insanely catchy. However, just because it's retro doesn't mean you can't mix a little! All of the sounds are clashing together into a huge mess of noise, which doesn't sit well on the ears and distracts from the rest of the song. Give it a little volume mixing and especially focus on panning some sounds away from the central point.

5/5, 8/10

TakeTheBait responds:

Thanks for the review, Stupor. As of 1/26/10 I remastered the track and it sounded much better. Panning is something that I didn't do however, it's a great idea and can really make an 8bit track, thanks for the suggestion I'll be sure to use it in future songs or maybe even revisit this one!

[Mud Step (W.I.P.)]

Great dub

The selling point of dubstep is the bass - rich, growly, and distorted with the LFO going wild throughout the song. That, plus some half-time electronic drums and a few effects will make a dubstep song, though creativity won't hurt either :P

Here's a great example:
