TeraVex's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Possibility (2017)]

I really like your progression in the beginning! There are some mixing discrepancies that caught my attention. I believe the drums overshadow a lot of what's going on, what you have here sounds beautiful but the drums little too loud imo. Also, there's a lot of distortion at the 1:40 mark, I think a compressor or turning the gain down a little may help alleviate that problem! Other than that, great stuff! I like your synth choices!

HexagonHXGN responds:

Thanks. This is kind of old and looking back it’s a really cluttered song.

[Sonic Artifact]

I like your production style a lot! It's quite unique! The chord progression reminds me a lot of Resonance by Oddesey if you've heard of them before. It does tend to get a little repetitive in the latter half of the piece, you could add like a lead or solo around the 1:30-2 minute mark to fix that issue but other than that I really enjoyed the listen! Great stuff!

Psilenth responds:

Ya I have a section B planned with a lead but you know Synthwave I got get the theory and sound design right first. I’ll message you when I make those changes thank you for the feed back..... I don’t get as often as I would like

[NGADM 2019 Finale Show]

This was an awesome listen, love hearing the stories behind the pieces! Congrats to the winners!

[Tech Melodies]

This is a bop! I like the vibe you're going for here, the patch choices really shine here! The piano patch is really nice but the reverb seems to muddy the sound a little bit especially in the busier sections. Dynamic contrast is nice! I like what you did in order to change intensity. Ending is nice too! I wish it was a little longer though :'( I'm sure it's the perfect length for a geometry dash level though! Great first tune! I look forward to hearing more of your stuff!

Lucasberry responds:

Thanks!

And don't worry, I have a XL version on the way :)

[Chasing Dreams]

Ooooo FL Slayer, Dope! This piece was pretty kickass, I will say it does ride a bit on the louder side and can be a bit harsh on on the ears. I noticed it mostly at the :50ish mark. I love the riffs at the 1:24 mark! The synth you used there is nice! To bring back what I said about dynamics, you could actually play around with them a little more! I saw little bits and pieces of it but I think there could be even more places of lower volume so the bigger parts just slap ya in the face even more!
Great piece! Enjoyed the listen and your synth choices!

TrandafirTeodora responds:

Thank you very much!
I'm glad you liked it!

[Wet Highway]

I really like this! Your synth/patch choices are really nice! I like the way the piece progresses as the further you get, into it the more is added! A classic composition technique for sure! I will say the piece does tend to be a little repetitive but you could remedy this by adding a bridge with a different chord progression or something of that nature. Mixing wise, I love your dynamic contrast! It's nice to hear electronic music with some dynamic contrast! A lot of producers (myself included LOL) don't do it enough! The ending is the only other thing that kinda popped out to me, it kinda just ended which was a bit odd but other than that, great song! Good stuff!

[Dancing - NativeMaker]

Chill piece! I like the vibe you're going for! I feel like the ending could've been a little more developed instead of it kinda just ending. Other than that, I really like what you have here! It's a unique production style!

NativeMaker responds:

Thank you! Yes, i know the ending was a little to "dead" but thank you really much😭😄

[AldoTN - Metallic Acid]

I like the drop a lot! I feel like it wanders aimlessly though before the drop which makes it feel as if the drop kinda just happens. Maybe if you develop the parts before the drops it may not feel as aimless, it seems a little too basic for how full the drop is. Kinda mess with those parts! Add more layers to it, maybe a countermelody or something more chordal in nature. This piece is a good start though! I also like the voice samples, it's a little unexpected but it adds character!

[Shrine]

Nice beat! Liked the melodic variety!

Benji-G responds:

Thanks! :)

[My Another Morning]

Nice variety! I love your melodic lines!
