acheney's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Distant Radiance]

nice! i do wish that this song was longer, because this is really good for using vcv rack for the first time. the pad is nice too, it almost sounds like a sustained cymbal sample

[H~ "Strings!"]

this song is short and sweet. the strings sound really good, what are they called?

ssymboint responds:

Why thank you :D, the strings were 'Orchestral Strings - Ableton'. I was using:

- strings assemble
- cello legato
- violin legato
- cello pizzicato.

I'm glad you liked it. :3

[a rocky path]

there are some nice melodies here! personally, i think that they could less repetitive; you should try varying the existing melodic phrase or even introducing a new phrase every few measures. i can certainly see the undertale influence here. beepbox seems like an interesting web program, i'll have to experiment with it

mhere09 responds:

thanks, i dont know why i diddent change the melidy as much as day and night like i should have, i might make a revamped verson later.

and beatbox has like 20 usable isnstermants compared to my previous one (audio tool) witch had about 3 so that's the reason i use beepbox and all other softwares (besides pixeltracker) diddent just have like a note timeline like cuebase and i couldent find out how to place a single note in sonvox and lmms has a worse insterment thing than audio tool.

i was gonna say something else but i diddent have anything to say, thanks for feedback.

[day and night]

interesting chiptune-style thing. the way the melody falls apart in the second part is really cool, even if it may not have been intentional.

in terms of software, have you tried pixitracker? that seems easy to learn.

mhere09 responds:

i just downloaded it and it's working really good, i should have a new song today or tomorrow.

edit: i made the song (a dark tunnel) and i made another one that wll be published soon, i tried to make lmms work too and i kinda does but i dont want to have to scrool through 20 pages to find one good sample.

edit 2: i reached my daily song limit :(

[glowing]

pretty good melodies, wish there were some drums or something else to go with them. beepbox seems like interesting software to use for music. would love to see you expand this in the future

mhere09 responds:

Thanks, ill make an extended verson of this soon since i still have the url. I have a song like this one that ill upload after this reply (like right after) thanks for the feedback.

[Bangin' All These Drums]

it's alright, i suppose that it could use some variation in note velocities and melody. pixitracker is pretty confusing to me tbh

[Nothing Good Will Come Out of This]

really pretty, don't see anything that could be done with this

etK responds:

Thanks a lot for the kind words!!

[The Healing Process?]

so weird but i love it! you threw a lot ideas into this, which makes this song feel like its alive and evolving with time...

PhantasmosTheData responds:

Thank you! I actually felt this song out of all of songs I recently make and are in making was really simple and was debating adding more to it for a while. Glad you like it! : D

[S?: Feeding Antoine (Worse NG edit) [For Pinkamena Party]]

not inferior

i actually don't care about the show, but this song really stands out on its own. the aound design is great, as always, and the progression is beautiful, i really like the karplus-sounding synth plucks in the background. the glitches sound great, don't know how you thought of those. i'll have to get the sunvox file from your discord

[SynTheTic]

maybe the drums could be a little more quiet, but i really love the melodies. very good for a second attempt, you should extend this

FirechompGD responds:

Thanks!might try extending it
