NoStereo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Machine of Machines]

Yeah this is awesome. Really smooth mix too. Can't even tell you used the worst drum samples in the world, just shows it's how you use them. 0:48 blows my mind, f*king love that.

BasedGas responds:

I forced the drums to sound like that, the samples were fine but I added filters to fuck with them lmao.

[Tom Fulp, Share Your Chicks!]

Haha this is awesome, It's got this punk thing going on which I love. I think the vocals are a bit too loud tho.

Edit: Oh wow I didn't realize this was 10 years old. This aged well.

[Felix Zophar - W.A.R.]

Damn, I wish I could make music like this. This review would be too long if I told you everything I liked about it, so here is what I don't like about it:

FelixZophar responds:

Haha thanks!

[Open Wings ~ M ~]

I'm sorry but I don't like it :(

The bass was a good addition like some others have said. The voices sound a little stock. The song is very repetitive. And there isn't an overarching progression, no story that the song is telling me.

MRM3 responds:

Thank you for giving honest feedback!
I really do appreciate it ^^

[Desert Night Level (2a03)]

I love the way tracker music sounds. Love the sounds on this. All the little parts are fantastic, fun melody, but as a whole I think it's a little repetitive.

[Blackout]

I like this much more than Pyrodynamix. It's cohesive and nothing is jarring. Like Pyrodynamix however I think you need to work on the melody, it's very repetitive. You have a lot to be proud of on this song, keep this up!

[Pyrodynamix]

Ah another one who likes arps, used right they can be powerful! First thing I can tell you is check your timing, at 0:15 your arps are not in step. Also that lead that comes in at the same time is really ear piercing. Your melody needs some work, it's a little boring, repetitive, and at the same time a little hard to follow. 2:52 really sounds like you just copied and pasted, the transition is so jarring.

[Felix Zophar - Risk]

I can definitely foresee having hurting ears after listening to this for a while. Maybe crop the highs a little bit. The eclectic nature of the song really works, I think having some smooth bass tones might help a bit, the compressed bass doesn't push hard enough imo. Love it when the pad comes in at 2:30. Solid work.

FelixZophar responds:

Thanks a lot

[CyberRooster]

Dude this is good. Very exciting to listen to, lots of variety to keep it interesting and still has some consistency. I absolutely love the breakdown sections and the way you bring it back to the dubstep sections. Sometimes I want to make a song like this but for some reason I can't really get it right, but you nailed this.

One thing I might change is have a pad through at some of the more sparse sections to give it a little more body.

Cockadoodledooo

DeadOnTheInside responds:

That is a really good idea, thank you! I didn't really think about adding a pad, but in the next my tracks I'll actually consider it. Also, the fact that you find this interesting and exciting is kinda strange to me, but I don't know why exactly.
And if you want to "get it right" ( whatever that means), then I suggest just making an interesting sound ( sound design tutorials recommended- how the hell so you think I made these basses?) that sorta inspires you or is relevant to a certain genre, or just listen to some music.
I wish you good luck with YOUR work

[Reflections (chillstep)]

Feels like I'm falling into a trance here. The combination of the rough experimental sounds plays well with the very smooth bell tones. I'll disagree with @Noisysundae here though, I feel like the "empty" sections are an important part of the song and lend it some character, as well as making the other sections impactful. Beautiful piece!

Edit: @Noisysundae contacted me to explain what he meant by the emptiness. I'll agree with him now that having some more supporting instrumental voices could help elevate this. I still think it stands well as it is, however.

Thanks for your thoughts :)
