ThePal's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Visual Snow]

I love that guitar riff from the start! The vocals sounds great,
the bass coming up after that hits like a dream, well done!

floorboardofficial responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I'm definitely glad to hear that the bass had the desired effect on you.

[No Boundaries]

0:00 - intro is chill and clear, sets the mood nice.
0:18 - personally, I believe some mellow synths to go in harmony with the synth stabs here would do wonders.
0:36 - boom. that's a transition if I've ever heard a good one. this section is filled with leads and harmonics in different synths and a rhythm that gets your head bopping. A little more in the bass section to ground it more would make it top-notch.
1:14 - nice use of sidechain here, good mood/build-up.
1:31 - watch out to not have too many things going at once, regardless of how great they sound together. I hear the reverb smearing over the rest of the mix a bit too much here, in my opinion.

too many things will smear it all together, and makes the listener unsure what to focus on.
right here, it's 𝘢𝘭𝘮𝘰𝘴𝘵 an issue, either equalize it a little better, lower the reverb or consider removing something to make the rest stand out a bit more.
2:08 - almost a bit too little going on here, add a little sprinkle of something harmonic somewhere in the high mids of the EQ and you're golden.
2:23 - 𝘺𝘦𝘴.
2:26 - same as 1:31
3:03 - playing a muffled down bassline here slowly fading out with the lead would ground this nice outro a bit better, too bad that it stops abruptly like that as well.

take everything written with a grain of salt, they're merely suggestions on how to improve it.
it sounds great as is, keep up the great work. 👊

Ditchy responds:

Happy with it all mate. Thank you.

[The Dusk Beat]

This is really marvelous, you definitely know your timings and chord choices, well done!

TheoryGuy responds:

Thank you so much!

[Bonkers!]

Some proper shredding here, boi!

mattc-guitar responds:

Thank you sir!

[Lips 2020]

I like the noise at 0:34, wish it was a bit more gritty, but I like it.
2:02: I like the chord pattern, I would've loved to hear some variating synth uses here to give a bit of variance.
2:19: I'd suggest lifting the highs/trebles on the vocoded vocals to make them more clear, I sadly can't make out what you're singing. It's hard with vocoders, but you learn with trial and error. o/

Almost-Ichabod responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I'm still learning how to use the vocoder properly, the carrier signal is especially frustrating to figure out, but I'll do that with the vocoder and possibly redo the vocals and reupload it.

As for varying chord stuff, I simply like repetitive stuff and that's my only excuse for why so many of my songs don't use variety in the chords.
