phantomnoiz's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Black Jacket - Hurrian Hymn]

takes me back to listening to justice and the general ed banger era of music, love this kind of stuff a lot! I love the incorporation of cinematic progressions and synthetic overdriven bass. I would love to hear what this sounds like with a proper outro and maybe a bit of adjustment to the sidechaining, I feel like those melodic stems are overwhelmed by the pump a little too much. still really awesome idea, the chops are super solid and the melodies are thrilling!

[A New Chapter]

I love the idea this one plays on, the synth section towards the middle could be so rad but the drums might be slightly too compressed on the low side, they don't hit as hard as I feel they could. there's a lot of drive and punch that might be a bit overwhelmed by the reverb, it feels like a lot of the heavier elements are slightly in the background. overall really nice, can't wait to hear what this could turn into :)

Phantom!
Hey thanks a quillion for the kickass review!
Deffa planning on incorporating the synth lead to a higher extent, smooth the transition, refine the melody, etc.
LMMS really just has the bare minimum when it comes to mastery tools
It's like use 15 different equalizers to gradually shape the sound to the point where you kinda don't hate it as much anymore.
I can't complain, I've spent nothing on music producing software. The only thing I've bought is the guitar I used and the amp that is acting as audio interface lol.
Thanks for the tips/ ideas, I'm sure you'll be happier with the completed track!

[NDXL & Dwooswa - Styx]

so many switch ups and interesting sound design choices :) love the classic punchy dubstep drums too, brings me back. my favorite part is the super synthetic and high resonant trap-esque section that starts around 2:25, I love how the abstract sounds still fall in line with the melody, thats not easy to do. look forward to hearing more <3

[9G5T - listen bro]

I love the kick patterns, though I feel the instrumentation could be a bit more clear as its hard to tell what root notes are playing

[Zymlokistan]

the chord change towards the latter half was really nice, the intro almost reminds me of some 1970s canto pop, you made me laugh with that scratch outro too haha

[THESPACEMAN]

I love how loose and almost improvisational the vocal hooks come off haha, perhaps the inflections could be even more crazy, I like the small rant at the end about space bees

SwissChicken responds:

Thank you! :>

[YOUR DAD]

I love the break sections :L

perhaps the master could be slightly louder? don't be afraid to push it, I definitely destroy my shit hahaha

CrayZbutyes responds:

[Rushdown Rivals Title Theme]
