TeraVex's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Frontier]

Damn your orchestral patches are like.... godlike.
The dubstep/electronic patches and drums are bit dry though, it could use a little tinnyy bit or reverb in order to fit better with the orchestra. Still, very impressive!
Dope stuff!

TenodiBoris responds:

Thank you, it is no secret that I use Reason DAW for my projects but strings are SAM project VST and I must say I love it 😁 when it comes to dubstep drums and reverb, I have to say that I tried several options, but every time it sounds like from a cave or worse, so I left it with short room reverb wich is lost in waves of reverbs from strings...

[The Angel (A Story in 15 Parts)]

Incredible work as always!
The way you use the soundfield is incredible in this piece, it always keeps me on my toes and I love it! I love your use of dissonance thoughout the piece, it brings tension in places I never expect but it's usually resolved in such clever ways.
I could literally write an essay into the analysis of this piece, it's incredible. The vocal layering at the 8:30 mark is dope af.
Such depth, I loved every second of it. One thing I like about your mixes as well are the use of dynamic contrast! 10:30 mark was probably my favorite part of the tune, I love the vibe you were going for there. It built an atmosphere that I really gelled with. Another section I really enjoyed was around the 50:00 mark. Great high energy moment and I LOVE the DnB inspired sampling. I picked up an inspiration of the Undertale Neutral Ending FB, great stuff! I also LOOOOOVEED the sax performance in this tune. I LOOOOVVVE when "classical" instruments are intertwined with electronic music. It brings a type of color to the ears that I don't hear as often as I'd like to be honest...
Goooooooooooooooooood shit, easily one of my favorites! I'm gonna check out the album!

Cacola responds:

AAAAAAAAAAAAAA THANK U SO MUCH<3 ~
ttthis was a labor of Love thats for sure. and yea I love to fuse together sounds from non-electronic genres with synths and EDM sounds its like, My Thing

But im really glad you enjoyed it~!

[Fun Box]

eatmeatleet responds:

[UnicornTales]

I like your use of the sound field in order to make for some interesting moments in the mix! Instrumentation variety is great and I like the melody! It gets a little overshadowed around the 2:02 mark by the pads, I'm unsure if it's intentional or not but overall the tune sounds great! If there was one thing that I would tweak it would be the pad's EQ around the same point as mentioned previously. It's a little harsh on the ears due to the highs being a little hot. If you just turned them down a little I think it'd be less harsh! It also may just be my headphones!
Great stuff!

ScottJacob responds:

Thanks! I appreciate the feedback. I noticed the high-end got a little harsh but thought it might have just been my headphones too, guess not lol :p

[Alexantoro49-Ninja Attack]

[Senses]

MMMMFF THOSE SYNTHS. I LOVE THE DYNAMIC CONTRAST.

larrynachos responds:

Tried my best to give each sound a home. Thanks!

[Oracle]

This is a nice 8-bit beat! It has a good bit of variety as well as a good tune! I like how you continued to add layers over the progression of the tune! It kept it interesting! Great mixing too, the basses are nice and thicc but do not overshadow the rest of the instruments. Good stuff! I wish it was longer and more developed, I'd love to listen to a 3-4 minute version!

BlockGhost responds:

Most retro tracks are left at small amounts so replayability is supposed to play a role in my chiptune tracks haha. But thank you.
