acheney's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cj'Pit - Light In The Darkness]

I love this! Your use of multiple, constantly changing melodies made this a beautiful, full song. The melancholy atmosphere that this generates really adds to the listening experience. The instruments sound great as well! Did you use a SoundFont, or were they recorded from real instruments? Please continue to produce beautiful music like this!

Thank you so much!
Just used Vst .. (I never use Soundfont for music).
I will do my best to compose something more. (But, i am not often compose for free share like this one). Most of my albums and tracks on Itunes ^^

[Vista Sounds - Wonder]

I like this! To me, the synth instruments that you used sound rather silly, but I think that they add to the mood of the song. The drums could use some more sub-bass, but otherwise, they sound good to me! As I explained in my review for your other dubstep track, your songs sound rather thin, and they could use some more depth. Other than that, this is good! As for the genre, this more closely resembles house or downtempo than pop. I hope to see more from you!

[Vista Sounds - Take Pains]

This is not bad! However, it could use some more depth, because it sounds rather empty to me. The instruments are not bad, and I like the piano that appeared in the middle of the song. However, the drums could be louder and more distorted. I really enjoyed the faster section in the second section of the song. My thoughts may seem slightly disorganized, but I simply have many opinions about different aspects of this song. However, overall, I liked it! Keep up the great production!

Thank you, LovelaceOfficial for the feedback, And I'm glad you like this song.

[Hektic - Moshpit]

R4R:

This song is not bad, although there are a few things that you could do to improve the song.

I'll start at the beginning. I love that dark ambient feeling that you managed to create here with that horn-sounding instrument. The way that you made it pan across the audio channels adds to the epic atmosphere. No improvements can be made here.

Next, before the first drop, the song's brostep growl can be heard. It sounds very good! The drums that are introduced here sound great as well. The buildup here is absolutely intense, and the horn that can heard here sounds good! The melody that the growl repeats adds to the intensity of the drop.

The first drop is pretty good; the basslines sound and feel great, and you managed to create an interesting melody with the growl. Once again, the drums here sound amazing. The horns appearing again and again also add to the atmosphere.

The bridge is arguably more epic than the beginning of the song. The quiet drums included here give it a very driving force. It's essentially a repeat of the beginning, and I like this as much as the beginning.

In the part immediately before the second drop, I like that drum break that you included here. However, I think that it could have used some more instruments, and the included instruments themselves sound too similar to each other. You could have made them sound unique to give the impression of a good break.

Unfortunately, the buildup and the second drop are essentially repeats of the first drop. Although the first drop was great, the fact that is was basically repeated here makes this part too predictable. Perhaps you could have included something more different than simply changing the growl's melody. For example, a new instrument playing an epic melody would have been nice. Then, the drop ends, and the song slowly fades away, which I like.

Overall, this is a great brostep track, but the second drop could have included something that would differentiate it from the first drop, and the drums in the drum break could be improved. However, the overall song sounds great, and I can't wait to hear more from you!

Thank you so much for the feedback. Lately I've been trying to experiment with my buildups. But most of the time i just make the second the same as the first.

[Matrix Trance]

Great! The drums are neither too loud nor too soft, but just loud enough to enjoy the melody, which is beautiful! The FM synth appearing throughout this song also gives it a unique sound, which I love! Please continue to produce music!

[Inferno]

This is absolutely amazing! The frenetic feeling generated by this is exhilarating, and the drums feel great! The instrumentation is particularly beautiful as well. Newgrounds needs more psytrance like this!

[Ride]

Absolutely beautiful. I like how you made the Amen break fit into a 7/8 time signature, and the instrumentation makes this such a euphoric song for me. Please continue to produce braindance, as it is my favorite genre of music.

[Witch King]

Many parts of this song feel very long and drawn-out. Also, the song could have used more variation and change, as it becomes rather boring in certain parts. However, for a hardcore techno song, this is not bad!

[09876543212345]

This song is incredibly heavy and eerie, and I love it! The kicks feel amazing, and the synths that you used gives this song a very spooky feeling, which I enjoy. This is a fantastic power noise track!

[Extratone on Acid]

Not bad! Extratone is rather extreme for me, but your unique take on the genre makes this song enjoyable for me!

etK responds:

Thanks a lot!! I'm glad I can make you enjoy such an extreme genre :D
