TurtleBox420's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Static Fly]

Lot of potential here, really unique and fun track.

StaticFly responds:

yippie

[Green Hill Zone Remix]

Not bad, just really needs some mixing and EQ. It's super blown out and kind of clips really bad in a lot of portions.,

[Binary Blood]

Not much to say here, it's an incredible well mixed and sound track.

[Edge of the Earth]

There's a LOT of clipping and over compression, it becomes somewhat hard to listen to in the middle section. I would certainly go through each instrument individually and balance / smooth things out. You've been working on it for three years you say? I kind of find that hard to believe, it sounds very unmixed, unmastered, and sort of like just a bunch in synths, pads, and a guitar just kinda thrown on top of each other.

MRPROMETHIUM responds:

Yes. I created five iterations of this song and all of them have high amounts of clipping. This one just had the least.

[NeoDystopic]

I feel like it's rather muddy and there's not much EQ. I feel like is this were a slower BPM it'd be nice and relaxing, but it sort of feels like a few rushed sequencer presets.

mothman47 responds:

It started life as a lower BPM, but I felt that the increase in tempo was fitting, which is probably why it sounds like a preset. A lot of the points you mentioned besides the EQ are intentional- Pretty much everything uploaded is sans EQ as a means of protecting my music from low-effort thieves. I do appreciate the input however, and I'm stoked you took the time to review my music. I do appreciate it, Thank you.

[piercing thru frequencies (-Radiocutter- Remix)]

Really fantastic track and mix here.

[Dreams]

Certainly not a bad track but it seems a little loud in some places, I would find ways to automate the volume during the more busy parts so people don't have to keep turning the volume up and down depending on where they're at in the track

PotangNG responds:

Good point, I think I wanted to go for dynamics in this track. But, it's possible I leaned too heavily into it. Thanks for listening!

[RISE OF THE MACHINES(original mix) by wasterklame]

Pretty solid. Not much to say critisim wise, the track works and is enjoyable to listen to.

[Circus performance - wasterklame]

Really fun track, a bit reptetitve but genre wise that makes sense. I wish there was a bit more in the mid-range in the EQ but the panning and low end being super tight make up for it.

Solid work.

[RollingUp]

This isn't really bad but it sounds rather generic and very boxed in, like not really over compressed but way to contrsicted. There's no real EQ'ing so everything sounds like one big low end.
