Falsesouth's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[DEMON SLAYER - Preview]

Read this carefully and don't take it personally:

The mix is totally cluttered; the sound design is weird and it is very empty in percussion. "Kick, snare kick snare" oh boy. You need more variation without cluttering the song. Less is more in many ways with the perfect mix. Also make sure your sounds are not overpowering your drums in the mix like they do in this preview. From what I have learned recently, it is better to let the drums impact a lot more in a hard dubstep track.

The worst part about this project is that you used GD as a way to get attention. Pathetic. If it was any good, you would never have to do that.

Don't worry about the project file being gone. You can make much better stuff in the future. The intro was kind of nice but needs a more calm intro to lead into it.

Don't use random clips of this song for a reboot of the track; if you really want to make it good it should just be recreated when you have an abundance of experience in music production (especially in sound design). You have every right to want to make this project awesome, but it will take a lot more time.

Keep practicing and this idea can become something much, much better. Good luck!

Okay, I'm suddenly getting this complaint a lot that it's too cluttered, but do you mean there's too much going on or d'you mean the sounds clash. Also I just wanted to say that I did not make this to take advantage of Geometry dash players for views, I started my Newgrounds "Career" in the first place for Geometry Dash. I made this song so that I myself could use it in my own level, not to exploit the views system. I just wanted to make that clear since you told me not to take It personally, but then proceed to throwing insults like pathetic at me and making it personal so obviously to contradict your own logic you must've been really passionate about your opinion on that. The snare complaint, fair enough, but I can't do anything about that. I'm a 14 year-old kid if you hadn't seen my profile, so I've made everything on my profile without spending a penny. So the only percussion I have is what comes with the demo of FLS and 1 pack of free "Dubstep" audio clips. Also the audio clips thing has been scrapped, my idea to combine audio clips and new original loops using the same scale could've in theory got this done and still kept it somewhat unique, but I don't know why; but everything I made clashed with the audio clips. I dunno if it was just 'cause audio clips go through some kinda compression or what, but nothing would blend.

[110bpm hiphop shit]

11 seconds? Come on dude.. Not bad, but boring after the first 2 loops.

Also, I know nothing about Hip Hop so leave me out of this. Try making full tracks again..

Spurta responds:

[Karaplex - Restless]

Loving the chill stuff you make dude. As usual, no complaints :D

Keep making amazing stuff!

KORAII responds:

Thx heaps dood :3

[Energy Drink Remake (DEMO)]

This could be so much better, but you have to realize that Virtual Riot used much more variation in the leads, which is what this is lacking. Also, the mix isn't very powerful and the hats are too loud.

The dubstep sounds towards the end are actually quite accurate (I'll admit lol). But they could be better still.

I guess most of the stuff that you need improvement on will come with time and experience, so keep it up!

Coolasp1e responds:

Thank you man, it was really my first time using this program and I appreciate your feedback. Really, the only reason why I didn't use the variation in melody was of laziness :P

thanks man! :D

[Death Moon Remix (Prev.)]

Impacts too loud at 00:14.. The intro isn't excellent, but after that hard impact that shattered my ears, it smoothed out and was enjoyable. It will need some instruments to back it but it is coming along alright.. :D

Keep it up and address the above issues so I can give you a much higher rating on your final release!!

Pulvite responds:

Thanks for pointing those out, that's what previews are for aren't they?

[-Oblivion-]

Quite well done my friend. The fast hats get a little annoying between 1:51-2:22.. They are distracting, but other than that.. this made me happy :D

Keep it up!!

sYrge responds:

Thanks for the feedback, and i couldn't disagree more about those hats XD

[Lockyn + Karaplex - Wanderer]

Absolute gold guys!

The mix is powerful and everything works together perfectly. I was wondering when this would be finished (lol).

Keep up the awesome work, both of you!

Lockyn responds:

Thank you <3 Glad you enjoyed!
