acheney's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Utopia]

pretty good! i do hear some clipping, but i suppose that that's just part of the lo-fi style. the melodies are very nice, if not a little repetitive. i also really like the pad that shows up in the climax of the song, though maybe the wood block-like instrument felt a little too loud for my taste. keep making music~

[Memories]

pretty nice, although perhaps a filtered pad or something else could have been in the background during the quiet parts, to fill them up. don't have anything else critical to say

[Cranial Fracture]

cool megalovania remix thing!

perhaps you could tone down the master compression a little? i can really hear the sound unpleasantly fluctuating because of it. also, the audio sounds kind of muted, the high end could be boosted a little to fix this

i do really like the instruments and (original) melodies. nice to discover another unknown musician!

DiamondEnderman responds:

:P thank youuu, Ive only been dabbling with this new style recently and Im glad to hear that I did pretty good

[H~ "The Puppets Descent" {Preview}]

spooky...

the description is kind of concerning, hope you're fine

ssymboint responds:

It's just school. I have so many things to do :c, so many tedious stupid things. All school is doing is holding me back. Other than that i'm good.

[Rabbit's First Failure]

nice! i really love the harsh bass stabs, though they do clash a little with the melodic square waves in my opinion. the drums have a nice groove to them too. good to see you making tunes with sunvox!~

CHEEZ2600 responds:

Thank you. It's been a pleasure making stuff with SunVox. I hope to make more soon.

[Hardbite]

the 303 chirps in the background is a nice effect. really like the snare sound too. great song!

FwWFW responds:

Much thanks!

[070 Shake VS N.W.A. - Fuck the Police Under the Moon (Mashup)]

really pretty, you made those two songs go really well together. the flanging effect on the vocals is very nice too

etK responds:

Thank you!!! I'm very glad you like it ! It's from a chopped & screwed mix I finished recently ;)

[Serum Track]

interesting idea, really shows the versatility of serum. this could use some mastering, but i suppose that wasn't the point here

[Dtr. Guo - Frenchcore Experiment #2]

cool idea, i imagine this concept could be useful for hardcore producers who want to give their kicks a melodic edge. i've never dealt with this issue myself, because anytime i make hardcore, i always play my kicks from a synth in real time

offi-DtrGuo-cial responds:

play my kicks from a synth in real time

That's actually been my dilemma: since I EQ my kicks pretty heavily during processing, including using some pretty tight notches, the question is how to maintain the same sound in different keys without sampling—if that is even possible?

[Silent Night (for Newgrounds)]

soothing

Radaketor responds:

no it's just cringe
