megakill's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Grid of Life]

Very soothing and relaxing.

It's also sound in terms of production value. I think its been very well produced, sets a tranquil mood, and really ignites the imagination.

Great job!

TheShoq responds:

Hey megakill! I cant thank you enough for your input, thanks for taking the time to listen!

I did spend a lot of time trying to mix/master it to the best of my ability, so everything works together without taking away from anything else. Balance is a beautiful thing.

You made my day by letting me know it ignites your imagination bro! That was my goal :)

Happy New Years! Best wishes

It gets a little repetetive

Dont get me wrong, I do like it, and i think you've done a bang up job, and you did especially well on some of the drum fills, in my opinion, however, it just gets a little repetetive because the lead synth doesnt really seem to change much.
It gets a little suffocating, until the piano comes in to give it a bit of contrast.

Otherwise I'd say its a nice tune, and to keep up the good work!

[Exploitation - LoveKavi]

I'm not really sure I like the arangement.

Personally, and this is just my opinion, I'd have started the song with the verse section that comes in at 33 seconds. I'd have made a chorus that wasnt quite as heavy as the distorted guitar sections, to fit better with the verses, and sort have carried the song in that manner.
I'd only introduce the heavily distorted guitars and such at the end of the song, as a big climactic finish, if that makes sense?

Other wise I'd say its pretty good. nice sounds, and catchy hooks, although, the bass could be a bit louder in the mix.

Good work though!

LoveKavi responds:

Thanks a lot!, and erm I've created a concept for this for vocals to be put on and it's basically what the Title says, Exploitation, I wanted it to go Heavy straight away to show the persons anger for being exploited then it calms down as he calms down talks about blah blah, then It goes heavy again when he gets angry and so on.

and cheers Ima up the bass in the mix then re-upload.

Thanks!

[SP - Generic Dance Song 3 V4]

The mix...

I like the song, the synths you used all sound good, and it all flows really well.
what let it down for me was that i picked up on some sounds getting a bit lost in the mix. You may have intended on them being that far back, which is fair enough, but i just feel like little bits were lost.

Anyway, cool song dude, keep it up.

[Bazaar]

I have no idea what you just said.

But that doesnt change the fact that i like this tune.
Sort of has a subtle darkness to it.
Very spacey, good stuff mate!

[Sing a song D&B remix[WIP]]

Hmm, i know what you mean..

Firstly, im sorry about only giving six stars, its not that i didnt like it, i just know what you mean about feeling that theres little things missing.

I like how you've brought the drums in, but i felt like you maybe should have let it run a little longer before you took everything out for the "dont worry that its not good enough" sample.

You could possibly try adding more of a bass line after it drops, to give it more of a low end.
The atmosphere it captures is really good, kinda creepy. The samples you've cut work really well.
It annoyed me a bit that its only 1:06, but then its still a work in progress, so thats probably not anything to worry about because it'll be longer by the time you finish.

It felt a little empty towards the end, so you could also try playing around with that, adding another melody maybe?

Anyway, these just some thoughts i had, im really looking forward to hearing the final version, i think its gonna be a pretty damn good tune.

SonicJ responds:

Yeah, I def will change the "sing a song " choirs, I felt it was too early after repeatedly listening to it. I did add another bass in the version im working on, whether or not it will work for everyone else to hear is up in the air. In the version im working on, I added some bells as well, and more drum layers with more sing a song samples. I have to cut each individual sample from the song, since it's tempo did not work for the song , but that's simple to do. I'll be sure to message you in the event that I upload another WIP version of this song, or the final version. I might take a while to make this, I' give my self up to a week since that how long it seems to take most great songs on NG.

Also, no hard feelings about the 6, no need to apologize :D

[Ride on Time Remix]

Catchy

Pretty good man, i enjoyed this.

Its got a nice catchy tune throughout, but i did sorta feel like the synth you were using for bass got lost in the mix at some points. All the sounds were good, i liked what you used for the main tune. Got a little bit repetetive, but it still progressed nicely.

Well done mate!
