ClockbeatAdelony87's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[T.E.O.M. - Newgrounds Anthem (Produced By TheEyeOFMusiK)]

Its a good song, but i wouldnt say its your best work, i think because it was made 6 years ago lol. i think there is too much going on in the low end, and sometimes the low end is too loud its drowning out the other sounds, or i could be wrong and its too much sidechain. That sausage too fat and it feels like theres a limiter forcing all those sounds down which don't allow those 808s to boom and those synths to shine. i think this is a mastering problem, and im assuming it was well mixed. the tune is pretty catchy and i really like it, but again, it is sometimes unclear of what is going on because the low end is drowning everything out. i didnt really like the change at 3:04, it felt too sudden in my opinion. 2:12 was pretty interesting and new though. Overall i guess it was okay, and i would cut this some slack because this was made years ago. I can hear the improvements from 2013 vs now, keep up the good work!

[T.E.O.M. - Grustler (Produced By TheEyeOFMusiK)]

Really nice, but i think sometimes the bass is too overwhelmingly loud. its really good, but im kind of dissapointed that this will stay as an instrumental. as an instrumental, this would be kind of repetitive, adding lyrics to this would be really great. this is a really amazing beat, im so tired of listening to really bland and boring beats, this one is really unique in my opinion. keep up the good work!

[Cheesecake]

Really nice, very well mixed, but could maybe use some more variety with lyrics instead of repeating "top it up i love cheesecake every 4 bars". But really?!?! Do you really love cheesecake this much? lol keep up the good work

Shidfayce responds:

Yeah i agree that it could've used more lyrics, maybe ill add more eventually in future versions lol! Thanks for the feedback though and yes, i love cheesecake this much, cheesecake is everything!

[Cyr3al - Vertiginous]

The beat gets boring really quickly, the mix is pretty bad, especially in the low end, the kick clashing a lot with the sub. I feel like there is almost no development, the same thing repeats for a long time before moving on. Except for the beat, the beat just repeats over and over nonstop. This song also lacks energy, because there is no white noise or cymbals and I feel like the tempo is way too slow for a dance song. But the thing that really bothered me the most was the mix. It felt like every single sound was clashing against each other, there was so much mud, and it sounded really unbalanced. But I was here before too, I still remember when I didn't even mix at all or even knew what mixing is. Keep making music and keep striving to improve!

[Infinity]

many parts are so repetitive, the beat stays the same for so long, 4:10 is just a sped up version of 1:53, theres no melody change, and it just sounds hideous. theres no break for the bass. the bass just goes on and on and on, which makes it super boring really quick. it only feels good when theres not a lot of bass and all of a sudden the bass drops. but this is painfully repetitive and boring in my opinion. i love that kick, but if you use that too long the power of that kick just fades away. the snare sounds pretty weak (not quiet, i mean weak sounding). this song is not that great to be honest.

Thanks for listening! Your feedback is appreciated!

[DJ Ses - No Emotion (Produced By Kenshi Muzik)]

i love the intro, but after that the beat gets pretty repetitive.

[SirSwing]

nice job! i remember playing SirHadoken's levels on geometry dash. SirHadoken's and LemonsGD's music is what inspired me to start making music. i wanted to make music just like them, and i wanted to get my own music on gd and make my own levels with them. Tell your friend SirHadoken thanks for me, because without him i wouldnt have music as my hobby, and i wouldnt get away from my video game addiction. my gd username is Adelony87 btw, which is why i have that in my name lol, but i dont play gd anymore, just throwing it out there.

okay now to the music stuff. mixing wise, it could be better. many sounds are clashing with each other. many sounds, especially crashes, are way too loud. also make sure your bass is mono. i loved the composition, and the surprise memes were interesting lololol. nothing much to say about the composition, just improve ur mix bro and ur good :)

[For Them (NGRMC Remix)]

In my opinion, i dont mind the extremely long intro, i feel like it has a lot of emotional quality, it reminds me of good times but kind of in a dreamy or sad way, feels somewhat nostalgic. i loved how you took a little break from the original 4 bars and developed the piece. the new chords and melody and added percussion was really interesting, not a lot of the other submissions, not even mine, went this far away from the original loop. i love that chromatism at 2:06, i feel like its unexpected and feels so intense. the buildup made the song more intense and made it feel like it was going somewhere, and while others may think the climax is too loud or too sudden compared to the rest of the song, i love it. it takes you by surprise and it feels so cathartic. those glissandos feel so emotional to me, the percussion feels so overwhelming in a good way. the new melody at 3:26 is really interesting. the chord progression with all those 7th chords and the lead pluck with a lot of reverb feels dreamy and nostalgic, like the beginning, so in a way you go back to the beginning. the final chord at first seems like it's going to resolve, but you added 3rds above it so it becomes somewhat intense one last time, like its going to lead to something, but instead you end it on the tonic so it feels super satisfying.
the only reason why i gave a 4.5 stars on this, is because the mixing can do some work. i can hear some sounds clashing with each other, and the crashes are way too loud. the whole song in general could use some more eq. in my opinion, the song could also use some panning to make it sound more wide, as if its being played with a live orchestra.
i honestly do not know how you only got 18th place for this contest, you should've got higher. this was an amazing emotional journey for me, keep up the good work!

[Shredageddon]

The song is good, but i dont like it as much as your other songs. I dont have anything against the song in terms of mixing, etc, but i dont like the style of the song and the heavy metal rifts get a bit boring overtime.

[AIM - Ichor Valley]

Ooh, gives me chills, really creepy and interesting music and story! I can see how it relates to the art it was inspired by. I liked how you used different scary sounds and effects to create tension. I also liked the panning you did for the vocals, it was really interesting to have a soundscape that sounded all around me from all directions! Good job, I really enjoyed it! :)

SmokeAvery responds:

Thanks, looking at that picture I fell in love with it. As i'm talking courses on Unity3d I look forward to bringing it to life in the future!
