acheney's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[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 ;)

[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

[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.

[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
