TurtleBox420's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Recheck [NGUAC '24 KO]]

I just feel like there could be more variety, in both the sounds and textures used as well as melodies. There's really just one growl you stick with throughout the whole track and it seemingly repeats itself throughout the entire piece.

Kz-N responds:

yeah haha it was my first time trying the genre so i didn't (and still don't) know exactly what i was doing, but yeah i can say that was intentional though as i wanted to keep mostly the same sounds but different arrangement all around, ofc it could've been more interesting but that is why i invite you to check out the second neuro song i've made which was right after this at https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1356640 , i tried to fix everything i could about this song in that one basically

[Forest]

Not bad, but could use some variation. It seems like every instrument outside of the Melodies are just playing the same chords, nothing really changes up ever.

PotangNG responds:

That's a good point, I usually struggle with making things repetitive. Thanks!

[Steel Instrumental (Old)]

I don't know what FnaF music is supposed to sound like, so I don't know how to really review this. But as an actual piece of music it sounds really over compressed, there's really no mixing and the dynamics are way off. It's not hard to listen to by any means, but it could have certainly used a few more passes.

KingKongDestroyer responds:

Just curious, what do you mean by dynamics. I'm not really familiar with too much terms.

[Spring mood]

This is basically a 30 second loop carried on for nearly three minutes. I think the least you could have done is changed up the beat or added a melody or some variations of sound.

KozoR responds:

I don't really understand the PC version of fl studio. And especially now I have no desire to do anything, but I will take this comment into account for something else in the future. Thank you!

[I Forgot The Mathematical Formula]

You should at least put effort into this if something you're passionate about is music composition or music production. This feels lazy and far from impressionistist, just non-caring.

GerritTime responds:

I did put a lot of effort into this, I just don't really know how to convey my ideas through musical composition. I'm just lost on what exactly I can do to improve my composition

[Open The Bottle]

Stop promoting your music here by DMing every single person on the audio portal.

But its their birthday!

[Dark carnival]

I absolutely love the use of soundfonts here.

Some advice I would give is to really really work on finding a way to help your dynamics breath. Regardless of it's through panning, mixing, or comrpessing the instruments individually.

This is an outstanding track sort of held back by a bit of issues after composition.

Please keep uploading, I would love to see more from you.

Cipower3 responds:

Thank you so much!! Also could you tell me some more specific ways I can improve the dynamics? Right now Im working on another track thats way more complex than this one, and I want it to be the best it can be. So if you could show me it would be awesome!

[TASTY BEATZ]

Not bad but could really use some work.

SunnyGuyShine responds:

i know lmao i just started making music and stuff

[Biffed It]

Pretty solid track here. Really love the choice of synths, very Analog and attractive.

conundrym responds:

duly noted, thanks for the reply!
