acheney's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Anger The Beast Vip]

cool work! i do feel like the orchestral parts could use more variation. a lot of the time it seems they play the same melody repeatedly. also, asides from the main bass, maybe the mix is a bit too muffled, not treble-ly enough, at least for my taste? lastly, i think you could have used a different sample for the pan snare. something longer, higher in pitch, and more ring-y. that's how i prefer my pan snares :D

everything else is great! nice to see you here on newgrounds

Constrict responds:

Thanks for the feedback.
Its in alot of deathstep music where the same melodie plays throughout the songs ngl. If not even worse lol. But yeah i get ya.

[SSK & Blurain - Hunter X]

very brooding oldschool dubstep :) i like the recurrent melody and basses from glorious ni massive

saltysnackkid2 responds:

Thx dude I really appreciate it! NI Massive is my beloved

[Defiance]

there needs to be something to glue this mixdown together more. maybe some compression, maybe some pads, or maybe some more consistent sound design? the sidechain is a bit too much, and i don't like the distortion with every kick drum hit. also, the attack on the snare starting at 2:08 is too loud for my taste, and the sub distorts the mix significantly too much

the sound design and melodies are alright, but please address these problems in your mixdowns

AceTAD responds:

fair yeah mixing is legit my weakness

[Why it not cool [Demo]]

fuck yeah! i love those vocals

i can't wait for the full thing!

G2961 responds:

Thank you!

[Transformers Led By Anime Girl!!!]

this is possibly a bit messy, especially in the non-drop parts and maybe a little less so in the drops. it seems like the beat is constantly changing and shifting, which makes it a little difficult to groove to. but the production and melodies are solid! you could probably reduce that messiness a bit and this would be perfect :)

[Rapture]

cool song!

and if i may ask, what's with all of these religion-themed track names? :) (archangel, messiah, goddess, and now rapture)

Synami responds:

Coincidence. :P
I'm non-religious but find the names cool, my mind defaults to them for some reason.

[Absolutely No Control]

the intense resonant filter modulation reminds me of something. like something rubbery or wet, like rubbing your leg really quickly when it's covered with body wash. i love it so much, don't ask me why i'm bringing that up here

Quarl responds:

I wasn't thinking about anything other than saw synths then you said "wet" and "rubbery" and now I'm stuck thinking about latex skin suits and lube. Thanks xD

[[LMMS Opus Release] Theia]

those tonal guns are really unique. the orchestral goodness is sweet as usual

overall this is an awesome interpretation of the genre in your style

[Anti-Arctic Hiking]

the spiritual successor to SOPHIE

Wilieu responds:

That is the highest praise I could ever ask for <3

[Keep Floating]

i'm just a sucker for these simple synth tones with pretty melodies aren't i
