K0TiC's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[HInteractive - Ghost House]

okay, the sounds are alright. but on the drop, the notes completely change without the listener expecting it. there is no sub and no sidechain. but this is your first song so all I have to say is keep trying, you will get better as it goes on. :)

HInteractive responds:

i'm never using fl again so that might do the trick

[Accentus]

This track is pretty cool, however, I think some of the sounds are V E R Y compressed.Because of this, I feel like the track is lacking the "punch" from the kick and snare, the sidechain won't fix all this. the track is loud for almost the entire time, and the basses don't really stand out. In all, EQing, less compression, better transitions, would make this track sound a whole lot better.

PS: Work on those basses :)

tetrogem responds:

Yeah, I couldn't really get a good bass sound for this one, gonna try harder on that next time. I'll make sure to sidechain the snare next time because I forgot to do that lol. But yeah, I'll work on EQing and transitions and stuff for the next one. Thanks for the review! :D

EDIT: I went back and added some more EQ and changed some other things in mastering, idek if it's even noticeable but hopefully it helps a bit xd

["Glowing Slabs"]

This is really good,
the tack has a very nice bounce to it.

Ryzmik responds:

Thanks! :D

[∀malgamation - Midnight Stroll]

I really like this track.
Although there are some things that can be done to make this even better. I would add more bass on the roots, you should also try and use EQ to mix this track a little better. The kick and snare could also use distortion to beef it up, only a little though. In my opinion, you could make the sidechain just a bit stronger. layering the main chords with different sounds is always a good idea, just make sure to mix them properly. in all though this track is really good! I hope you found this helpful.

Skiddle responds:

i do find all of this helpful! This was my first real attempt at synthwave tbh, so there are obviously some issues :p

[Tetris Theme (SpruceVMC Trap Remix)]

I like this song, although I feel as if the drops are a little bit too much compressed and distorted, I would also have like to seen a smoother transition into the "drops" especially for the last one, keep it up though!

SpruceVMC responds:

Thanks for feedback <3
