TeraVex's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Stargazing]

I really like the piano intro! I'm a sucker for a good piano part. The highs in this seem to be turned up a little too much which makes the cymbals and drums kinda overtake the entire mix which leads to 1:30-2:00 and 2:30-3:20 sound really really distorted. I will say the composition itself is really really good, but I just wanted to give ya a heads up on the mixing side. Great job on this otherwise! There's some great stuff here!

Desmae responds:

Thank you, I always have a problem with mixing correctly cause I might be able to think of good music, but not good mixing.

[Anxiety Library (WidenTalles)]

This is really nice! I like the soundfont you used for this, makes it sound like something straight off the ps1. I like the overall melody and chord progression of the song and how overall it just builds and builds until it gets to the point at 1:48, it's very well done! I love the virtuosic piano solos near the end. Exceptional job here! I am eager to hear your other stuff now!

[Lights! Camera! Glitch?]

Nice song! It definitely is glitchy like your title implies! It's a little basic overall which makes it feel repetitive but that's not always a bad thing! I feel like there could be a few more chordal synths in the song to make it sound full. You did this at 2:06 which made me leaving want more of that because that sounded great! I really like your sampling and synth choice, it gives you a unique sound that I really enjoy listening to! Your mixing is quite good as well! Good job on this one! I'm excited for the future of your music!

BlockGhost responds:

Thank you TeraVex, yes, most of my music gets repetitive but I can't help it, I love my melodies lol. The reason I make the songs so short is because I don't have much time as 9th grade is an important year for me so haha. Gotta stay on my grades.

[THE UN-NAMED SONG W NO RAP *feat pink nois*]

Noiiiccceeee beeaatts! Do I know you? I swear I know you from somewhere ;)
Great stuff as always, this was a great listen. Glad to have ya on Newgrounds! If you have any other questions don't be afraid to message me!

[Colours Vocal]

This is beautiful! I love your voice, it really compliments the song nicely! The mixing is really well done! There's no problems I have with the song! The piano that comes in around 1:40 is truly beautiful. Thanks for making me feel! I needed it. That's what music is for ya know? This is truly something great. Congrats on the feature, you deserved it easily.

elektrobear responds:

Thank you so much! Your words will stay with me.

[Angry Goldfish]

This is awesome! I like the piano solo! If there's one thing that I had a problem with it was the sudden dynamic change at 1:12. I'll be honest I saw it coming and it still scared the shit out of me LOL. You might want to keep an eye on how loud the dynamic changes are because that looks like it might be peaking. Other than that, this song is great! Love the variety, love the instrumentation and the mixing is great up till the end. Great stuff!

Kumashi responds:

Thank you very much, for your feedback and everything you say is going to help a lot in making what I love, better. I wanted to make it kind of intentional, I don't like that it is peaking but in a future reupload I might make it a little better, in every way possible <3

[Xenon Brain (Drum & Bass)]

Nice song! I don't know if I'd classify this as drum and bass but then again I'm not 100% sure what else this would go under. I really like the 2nd half of the song a lot but the first half is a mixed bag for me. The mixing in the first half is a little weak, the drums are a little difficult to hear and around :28 the cymbals are a little too loud. The first half doesn't really seem to relate at all to the second half, it almost feels like a completely different song. But there is definitely potential! I look forward to your future stuff!

XenonMusic responds:

Thanks for your feedback! I am releasing songs like crazy before I start my "Great Beautiful Amazing Remix Project" in which I make remixes of popular songs with good drops. Thank you for following, and be sure to check out some of my other tracks!

[Small Adventure Ghost]

Nice song! There's a lot of variety which I like. There some mixing inconsistencies for example around :57 when the snare and rest of the drums comes in there's some distortion in the snare, I'm not sure if that's intentional but I just thought you'd like to know! In the beginning the high synth is a little harsh on the ears. Overall, the song is kinda bare it just feels like it's missing something but I'm unsure what the problem is mainly around :28 to :38. I think what it might need is a little more chordal synths in the background. But other than that, it has a lot of potential and for that, I am scouting you! I look forward to future songs :)
Sorry if this came off as harsh, it isn't my intention I promise!

Kumashi responds:

Thanks for your feedback! I'll continue to upload stuff and I really hope I get some more feedback not only from you but from anyone who listens. Thanks a lot for your advice as well, I promise I'll get better.
