Kirbyfemur's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Haterdy (Dethklok Cover)]

Love the song

But you might have needed to turn the distortion down a bit on the guitar. And i know it's hard to find good sounds for drums, but maybe try to set up a drum line to follow. That and you seemed to jump around the song a bit to much, it's short but not that short lol

[Bassbeats (WIP)]

To much bass

Not enough happening around it. The bass part is alright, but the mixing kind of ruins any good that it could be doing since it drowns everything out. Bring the levels on the bass kick down and bring the instruments out more. This has potential, it's just hiding under to much bass kick

ThePrice responds:

Thanks for dropping a review, I appreciate constructive criticism such as yours, it helps me know what I'm doing wrong. The whole bass thing is just something I'm experimenting with, and I haven't gotten the proper level right yet. I'll probably lower it a bit in the full version; but the song sounded nice on my stereo headphones 'cause it catches all the notes that most people won't hear under the bass.

[=-=-=Rudolf=-=-=]

To many presets

I hear to many syntrus presets being used. I mean the presets are fine, but maybe try to effect or mess with them to make them more unique sounding and clear.

Otherwise it might do well to have some eq'ing done since there is a bit of crackling everywhere to be heard.

[Chaos of voice v0.1]

Kinda chaotic.

I would say that it might help this if you individually equalize the song instruments, and make sure that the instruments aren't all taking up to much of a certain area of the eg.

Lots of interesting things going on.

[Vulcan-Metaljonus]

Hellz yeah

I like the mixture of softer rhythms that lead into the harder riffs that go throughout.

Though the build ups don't really hit at the points where the main riffs come in, they are good enough to look past that.

Can't wait for the final mix if you do decide to use this, because the riffs towards the end are amazing sounding, just hard to hear :3

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks dude! I've been trying so hard to bring up the clarity in my mixes so I'll let you know you.

[War-Machine-Metaljonus]

Drums are a bit over powering

But i know this is just a rough outline of what it will be. but i would be careful of your drums being taking over and drowning out the rest of the sounds. Cause what seems to be happening in the back sounds pretty good... When you can hear it lol The kick is eating the song away. That and s couple parts the crash and or hi-hat sound like they're getting out of time.

Sorry that i'm critiquing the mix so much... because it does sound awesome :3

Metaljonus responds:

yeah I have'nt bothered to mix it lol I'll upload a better version in a bit. also the drums are programmed

[xKore ft. Zoe&Naomi - Need You]

Great on Soundcloud

And great no matter where you give it to us.

Love the rumble the kick gives in the beginning. And the rhythmic pulse of the song is great, though the sidechain feel may be a little to much, but thats just me. It is a nice mix of sounds. That and what sound samples do you use, because the ones that use this girls voice seem to be used in my favorite tracks of yours :3

xKore responds:

The vocals in this were sampled from a video my friend posted on youtube of her singing 'a thousand miles' by vanessa carlton.

[Syrebral - Brkn Agls (xKr]

Nice

My only real issue with your songs as of late is that the drps and build-ups are sounding a bit to like one another.

But on to this song. There is an amazing range of sounds being used, but everything compliments rather than fights each other. Can't really say much about the mixing/mastering, you've just about nailed it every-time i hear you now a-days.

Is this going to be an album release type thing or just doing it because you can by the way? lol

xKore responds:

Not sure what the release details are tbh, Syrebral asked me for it so I guess It may releasing with the original or something, sometime in the future.

[LO - Bang-O-Rang (MD2011)]

Doesn't really sound

Like a first attempt to me lol. Though you've probably been doing electronic musics for a while now so that shouldn't matter.

The mix is actually pretty good from what i could hear. There sounds like there is a lot of sub-bass which my set-up doesn't want to pick up sadly, but it doesn't seem to mess up the mix so it must be doing it right :3

Oakwood responds:

I've been practicing a lot with Dubstep lately so that's also a reason for it being better than you expected :P But yes, a few years of making electronic music help as well.

And about the mix, well I guess it's okay then =3

[I can pretend too]

Iz wish i culd go az fast az u!

If i culd, i'd be able to makes moneys and be likd bi everone :D
