CyroNG's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[! MDK - Press Start ( GD cut )]

0/10 needs more Soundgoodizer :^)

LexRodent responds:

( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

[PNLWAVE: ПΛΉΛ]

0:00-1:12 Was amazing ambience, but after that, the autotune-ish instrument and the messiness lowered the score. Improve on those 2. Apart from that, pretty good track.

etK responds:

It's Chopped & Screwed PNL! Of course there is autotune :D
Though maybe you're right about the structure of the song. Regardless, thanks for the review! :)

( WARNING, WARNING! AN ACTUAL CONSTRUCTIVE REVIEW OVER 10 WORDS IN 2019! )
okno
-----
The start of the song (0:00-0:12) feels like it could have some improvement. The pluck doesn't really fit with the other parts of the track, so i feel like you could change it. The bass is really nice, though it could have slightly less reverb.
-
(0:12-0:25) Same as the start. You also don't need the synth to be sidechained at (0:12-0:19) since there's no drums.
-
(0:25-0:38) Is the worst part for me, since there could be much more added but there's none, making this part of the track sound empty. I also feel like the vocals could be pitched down for the tone of the track.
-
(0:38-1:04) The drop. This part here is almost as empty as the part at (0:25-0:38). You need some sort of ambience or effects to make it sound more complete, as well as most of the track here sounds too dry. The drums may need improvement since they sound too weak for the part as a whole. I feel like you should sidechain the wubs as well to have a much more punchy quality to the track and to sound cleaner as a whole.
-
(1:04-1:29) Is much better than the drop. The pluck actually fits with the other parts of the track here including drums, since it's much less aggressive than the drop.
-
In my eyes, I feel like it's another one of those "brostep cash money cash money" tracks. The style has already been done countless times before, lowering the score for unoriginality. In which, it also makes the track very forgettable.
-
Overall Score: 3/5. Sound quality is good and the instruments used could have potentially been great, but the generic vibe this track gives just makes me think 'you could have done something original instead of some carbon copy cookie cutter formula'.

Spline-1337 responds:

Thanks for the tips! I will surely keep in mind in future tracks!

["Messing With Synths... Again"]

The song structure is good, and the saws sound alright, but it's just too BLAND! You need some sort of chorus and automation for the synths, then it would be a 5 for me. It's just a missed opportunity. ;3;
~CyroNG/Cadmiae

Ryzmik responds:

I never tried to use chorus for the synths, and the only FX automations I make are filters, so it would be nice to try it, thanks for the advice! :D

[Zeptonix - Firestorm II]

Well, you've improved.
The piano parts are nice, but a bit bland, with nothing else there. The buildups are basically perfect...
But the thing what lets this down the most is that it's loud as hee e e e ell, and that most of the things in the drops have too much reverb and are too muddy.
Also, some things in the drop don't fit together, like the high-pitched synth, where basically everything else is low-pitched.

DjCocsOFFICAL responds:

Thanks for the review!
I'll try to work more on my arrangements to make them sound clean and solid.

[Avizura - Modern Architecture]

This honestly reminds me way too much of ParagonX9 without the amen... :P
All of the sounds sound spot on while ALSO fitting perfectly well together, that's what can make a song great. The lead though sounds a bit too high pitched at some times, though it's not really that noticeable. Also them shakers sound like they belong in a song with 522BPM, lol.
I'll have to subtract a few points though because the song doesn't have that much diversity throughout the entire thing, especially the drops.
----------
Keep on what you're doing, just make sure it has more diversity to it and it'll be a solid 5.
Overall, 8.25/10, 4/5.
----------
kthxbye -Oonir/CyroNG

AvizuraNG responds:

Thank you CyroNG. Funny that it reminds you of X9, in what way exactly?
And yeah you're right about that. I wanted to change the second drop to something completely different even go with a different chord progression for the second part. Unfortunately I don't have the project file anymore ... but oh well.

Thanks for the review!

Can you not?

soap443 responds:

Decode it. I might stop if you do.

[Not True I Am (meme)]

words can not explain how godlike it is for people to 5-star something what's probably made within 2 minutes
also
how is this a "meme"

FelixZophar responds:

It's a meme... Because it is...

[Driving on neon]

0:00-0:50 - I really liked the atmosphere it created, sounding like hammers from one of modem's tracks. Really drags on though. :I
0:50-1:27 - The kicks really just drowned out the entire hammer sounds, you should've made the kicks less quiet or the hammers louder.
1:28-2:07 - The arp sounded nice, but again, the kicks drowned it. Again, it drags on a bit.
2:07-2:20 - The high-hats are a really nice touch to it, finally something not drowned.
2:20-3:18 - Wow, that arp just sounds plain amazing, fitting in with the track as a whole. But again, it still drags on.
3:18-3:44 - Basically 1:28-2:07.
3:44-4:09 - Really nice outro.
--------------------------------------------
Total, 3/5, 6/10. Really good sound design, but things dragged on way too much and some things basically drowned.

hGea responds:

this kick is supposed to be really hard and muff out all else, but you're right it has really bad mixing throughout the track, the arp should sound clearer. I might come back to this to fix it. Ive only used this track in my mixes to enhance or give some spice to a different track so that's why it drags a lot, so i could loop the thing :D ty for your constructive review, ill look into it :P

[Diabarha - Uranoid {Chillius Remix}]

I'm sorry, but just why?
I liked the riser at 0:00-0:04, but the synth at 0:05-0:27 just felt like it was really empty and only one thing was really going on.
At 0:28-0:39, the kicks didn't fit with the synth, making it sound a bit worse, but only slightly less empty. I know that this is Speedcore/Extratone, but the kicks just don't fit.
0:39-0:44 Just really sounded annoying, honestly.
0:44-0:49 Just sounded more annoying with them not fitting.
But, things have not gone horrible yet, until...
0:52-1:03 Sounds like a complete mess, with the kicks basically repeating on and on, which makes it sound ear-bleeding.
1:03-1:14 Only sounded slightly better by the other kicks, that actually sounds a bit nice.
1:14-1:19 - Do I really need to explain this?
1:19-1:24 Is just like 0:52-1:03, sounding irritating.
1:24-1:35 Just adds another synth, not even fitting with anything so it sounds awful.
1:35-1:40 - Eh, average outro.
-----
Grand total: 1/5, 2/10. Everything sounded like it didn't fit together, with some horrible kick-spam.
