TurtleBox420's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

['i think we should just be friends" - album by jare]

Whoa

[thank you]

Really solid mixing here. Progression seems like a slow incline but I like that, very intentional and flourishes when it deserves to. Really great work. I think the legnth of tracks like this tend to give people listening to it a different perspective than those looking to give feedback, and as a listener I enjoyed it. As someone looking to give feedback I think the track also works, it's got a beginning, middle, end, an outro, nice buildups, and most importantly the mixing in the third act doesn't degrade for the sake of including the break drums. It;s a nice track, really solid.

[Shadows in the Room]

This is exactly the kind of experimental stuff I wish blew up more on NewGrounds. Really solid work.

I agree with other reviews discussing the mixing needing improvement, but otherwise as raw as this is it's quite good.

[Nostalgia (Instrumental)]

Always awesome to see people listing what they've learned and how the track developed over time.

I think one piece of advice I could give with this is using compression to fix some of the crunch in the mix. A lot of the low and high end have some clipping occuring, noticeable at higher volumes but not anything that's ruining the track.

Your use of the reverse verb is fantastic, as is the sampling.

Fantastic job.

[Kickstart]

I disagree with the comment about the drums and repetitive nature. I think music being "repetitive" is a subjective thing. It comes down to things like genre, preference, intention, ect. On top of that, I think the drums fit nicely in the mix.

[Nuclear Winter]

Pretty fun track, I really like the approach here.

[A song I heard in my dream]

Sounds really nice, eerie yet tame. Nice work.

[HECKFY29 - Ignite The Night]

Really cool work, can't wait to hear more from you.

HECKFY29 responds:

Thanks for comment!

[The School Yard]

I love the pop energy of this, the kicks and synth go so well together.

YuukanVulture responds:

Thank you very much. I wanted to make the music for the first level exciting.

[Epic Battle for Knight Submission + other name]

Love it.
