SUNSCREECH's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[F-777 - T-Rex]

Nice, but the mastering feels kinda squashed up by the basses and reverb at the beginning

F-777 responds:

I hear wut ur saying its not the basses tho its that diff kick i just used only for the intro an nowhere else.

The reverb yes thats true i could of cut it down because of that kick so the master wasnt being drowned but its same reverb in entire mix. Best fix would just be diff kick for intro or at least mixing work on it (EQ,volume)

So I can touch up the intro but i most likely will never get to it now XD.
Finishing so much music.

Thanks for the review tho man :DDD.

[Outstanding Move]

maybe it's the vapor a e s t h e t , but the reverb has lots of lows, resulting in an overcompressed song

etK responds:

You're probably right, thanks for the review :) I'll avoid that in the future.

[S?: Fiery Castlevania Underworld Dimple [For gimmicky VA comp]]

Great !

The only issue is 0:10. I know the cracks are made on purpose, but people could misinterpret it as a master/mix error :(
I love the ambiance though

Saltbearer responds:

*Shrug* People potentially missing context clues isn't something to pay much mind to, as long as it sounds right to you as the artist.

Glad you liked it!

[Below Zero]

Can't you use FL 20 ?

Dj-DoubleF101 responds:

etK responds:

Well played

[S?: All In Awe Of Its Arrival As One [FAWM]]

wtf, really drives me mad.
something here is unpleasant, maybe the panning but I wouldn't recommend you to fix it, because it kinda fits the song ambiance.

I love the ambient bitcrushed distorted intro, then comes that awkward part with the drums and the square/pulse waves. Sound design is off in this part I guess : lots of weird cracklings, I guess that's on purpose, but I still find it too harsh to my ears (just personnal opinion lol).

Then around 1:25, the track sorta changes.
The chords are really soothing and purposely off, but seriously, what's up with stereo ? It feels really squashed up :(.

The transition around 2:40 is really weird. Then kicks the nice lowpass-sawtooth bouce thingy, which feels refreshing. Very fucked up but nice drums.

My last complain is the 3:54 larsen tone. Feels really earrape-ish man, but Idk that's just me.

Overall I like the fucked up random rhythm, the total madness of the track and its fresh, vanishing windy chords. Good job !
since you made a serious review, i felt forced to make a decent one on your track :)
Peace, WL

Saltbearer responds:

Really appreciate your taking the time!

This was a cathartically raw and filthy one for sure. It felt right to get a little unpleasant. o ͜ o Recently listened to the new Black Dresses album: https://blackdresses.bandcamp.com/album/thank-you and some of Ryoji Ikeda's "dataplex": https://youtu.be/HWhfZk1llUo so I'm sure those each had an impact in their own ways. Maybe my abrasions' deployment timings are off, but regardless of whose cup of tea it is, I've always been one to mix roof gravel into my cake frostings.

I feel almost guilty when I use simple waveforms, etc. My hope is that juxtaposing them with more obscure sound design techniques makes their inclusion feel more deliberate. Probably wasn't being too careful with the shaping of that wide squirchy percussive sound, though.

The stereo thing going on with those pads was one of the ideas I started the project with. I took the randomly-panned L and R signals, mashed them together at ~30% L, dipped the volume, brought it back up while separating L and R to full width exponentially, and then mirrored that for every other loop. 1:40, the squeaky reverb stuff and everything else remain narrower than the pads at their widest. I'm not sure what's up if it seems squashed beyond that.

Don't exactly mean to force, but future feedback is always welcome! 8)
Carets, S?

[The Myth (Beyond Paradise LP)]

is there any platform I could download the LP ? Thanks

KaixoMusic responds:

You can literally download it right here. And within a few weeks it'll also be available on Spotify, iTunes etc.

[Paradise (Beyond Paradise LP)]

meh compared to the LP's album tracks

KaixoMusic responds:

This is a short bonus track, something that adds to the vibe of the LP.

[Tumult (Beyond Paradise LP)]

Basses feel kinda outdated, but I guess that's on purpose.
This is sick dudes

KaixoMusic responds:

Never heard that one before lol. This one is my least favorite of the LP anyway so I kinda agree, tried some other sounds but they just didn't fit.
