Qshunt's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[tannhauser]

Nice tune! Those quirky melodies and chord progressions are awesome.

wilidacious responds:

thanks!

[Vision]

I think this is my fave track of yours.

Sound design is top notch, mix-down is really nice.

Quarl responds:

Thanks love :)

[Deception]

Nice work!

Excellent production.

Demonicity responds:

thank you!

[[NGUAC] Deimos]

Nice work brother.
This is really well done.

[Geoplex - Reignite]

Nice work.
Your production is on point.
Has a very Pendulum sort of vibe.
The person who commented about the compression being an issue just doesn't get it.
Your mix-down and subsequent mastering is an admirable effort.
Would love to collaborate on some stuff.

Geoplex responds:

Thanks for the kind words. I think they have some valid points. I tend to enjoy clean mixdowns less these days, but this one is a little messy :)
Unfortunately I have about 4-5 collabs that I've committed to or am currently involved with at the moment so it's hard for me to commit to more. Maybe at some point in the future!

[Any Other Way (feat. Ivy Marie)]

This is pro af.
Excellent track.
I do have ONE MAJOR WHINGE!!!!
It's not long enough!!! ;)

[Inadequate Relief]

Composition is nice. It's well put together.
My main gripe is that the drums are getting lost in the mix.
They should be big and brash and in your face!
If you beef up the drums, I will give you a 5.
If you would like some help with the beefing up of the drums, let me know.

Stargame responds:

I appreciate the review! I'd love some specifics concerning the drums - is it a general gain issue (volume too low)? Is the problem with one specific drum (kick, snare, etc.) or with all of them? Are there sections of the song where they are clear enough, but are muddied up in others? Is that muddiness in certain frequency ranges (3kHz, 300 mHz, etc.)? That helps me know what to watch out for and improve upon.

[Moog 3]

1:52 onward IS THE SHIT.
Nice tune.

[Leaneuro]

This is quite a decent effort.
You win extra points for the chopped amen breaks. I love em.
The bass is a good sound, but I don't think it's being modulated enough and it becomes a bit muddy in places.
Drums are clear and sharp. You've used some nice hits there and they're nicely sequenced.
Percussion is good.
I think it's far too slow for Neurofunk though.
This seems to be about 160BPM when I think it should be nearer to 175.
I normally make mine at between 172 and 176BPM.
Finally, I'm not a fan of the vocal at all. It sounds a bit awkward and brings me out of the zone.
You should be proud of this, though! It's a really good effort.
Thanks for publicizing it!

dedsh4d responds:

Thank you for the criticism! I used a vocal sample I grabbed from the friend who I dedicated this song to, hence the name Leaneuro. Anyhow, excuses aside -- I can see how it can be rather distracting.

[Castlewatch Road]

Wow!
This is excellent!
I wish I could make instrumental music of this calibre.
