TurtleBox420's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[A Bitter Ochre]

Once again happy to hear something unique and thoughtful without there just being some super compressed Breakcore beat punching through.

JimmyTheCaterpillar responds:

tyty i love weird shit!!! :D

[A+B : Extended Pause (EP)]

I skipped around to try to get a taste of every track, it was some nice listening. Some of the tracks felt a little more compressed than others, and if I had to give one piece of feedback it's that the beats seem to repeat and not change much throughout individual tracks.

[Friends]

Really catchy and fun. Soft listening, I think what's worth mentioning here though is how damn well you layered everything. How it comes out at 2 minutes and comes back in around 2:12 is so smooth.

You have a lot of talent and should be proud of this. I only gave four stars cause I think it could be a littttttle tiny bit panned better but It's super hard to tell without listening to how your panning is in your other work.

PotangNG responds:

Thanks! Yeah, this song was finished for a while, but what took me so long to get it ready for publishing was making sure the song was layered and mixed correctly! Yeah, I'm sure I could pan it better in future songs. I'm still a bit new to panning, so I don't use it a lot in my songs. But it's something I'm definitely going to expand on!

[Fakk The System]

You have a lot of really strong points in here but I think the mixing needs some work, there's some peaking in some places that could be touched up pretty easily with some gating. Otherwise I like it, the vocals are really strong, I would heavily encourage you to really work on those and make them your selling point.

[Garbage]

Post more, NG needs more live bands.

GameboyMicro responds:

Well, that made my day! I'll post more from the (upcoming) new album!

[Can I Get Some Vibes, Please?]

Nice to hear something that isn't just Amen breaks and Hyperpop on the portal for once.

[Battle With Buio]

Gnna have to hard disagree with the other fella who posted here. While I also give this four stars I believe this track does encapsulate a final encounter or boss fight of some sorts. Boss fights don't have to be some huge epic Souls-like operatic piece. They can easily fit the world you've created, it's asthetics, it's elements and all and be quite perfect.

I think this works perfectly for what you're describing it to accompany.

ajfromcanada responds:

Hey thank you for the review! I appreciate the feedback. The track worked very well in our game, it was intense enough without being too distracting

[Chill Zoomer Breeze]

I like this a lot but something I would recomment would be slightly bringing in the low end. This kinda feels like it's mostly higher frequencies getting love and the arp being the only source of mids.

The kicks feels super thing and not really bassy at all. With a really powerful mix this could make a really strong track.

[nothing personal]

I wish more people made experimental stuff like this here.

[Lost garden]

Your earlier songs don't seem to have this problem but your most recent have really noticable clipping issues. A lot of your low end is really pushing through and not really in a good way sonically.

Might want to be something to consider when mixing. I like a lot of your older tracks, I went and gave them about 4 stars, but like I said I'd try to clean out your low end in the mix. You have a lot of potential.
