BreatheLeoda's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[XS - I Am]

I was expecting a complextro approach and got a slow DnB instead. It still sounds very good, but there isn't enough raunchiness to properly contrast the trance synths. Very interesting composition, and the drums are very good with strong panning. There could stand to be a ride on the right ear once in a while, but still a solid beat.

There's a little bit of white noise in the mix, but it seems to almost add character to the track. The EQ is well done.

However, your rapping seems kind of constant, for lack of a better word. The flow is spot on, don't get me wrong, but it feels like there isn't enough change in the phrasing to make it sound interesting throughout.

Great rap though.

[FS: Hegira]

This is some pretty bubbly music. The composition is pretty great, the drums have a great stereo sound, and the synthesizers are all mixed very well together.

However, the sound generation seems to be lacking - some synths may need more reverb and delay, it feels a little empty. You could try out Glitch 2, a new effect VST that might add a little more character to your mix if used in moderation. Additionally, the drums are a little too real for a genre like this. Either add some distortion/bitcrusher, or try a different drumkit entirely.

Sounds pretty solid composition wise though. It would work great in an RPGMaker or Flash game driven on point-and-click or RPG platforms.

Now this is a helpful review! Thanks :)
I'll try out the things you said.
The only point i don't agree with you on are the drums. Because i don't really make a specific genre, i just make what i like.. and i like the drums this way :) I can experiment with some distortion or bitcrusher though ^_^
Again, thanks!

Can't hear enough of the bass guitar, the drums are a little too weak [try adding a little bit of distortion and turning down the reverb a bit, add a compressor in there too], and there isn't enough midrange on the guitars to really bring home any kind of savageness - the "metal" isn't really there yet.

Regardless, it's still good. Composition is good, and the mixing is damn near perfect for adding in some electronic synthesizers - unfortunately you probably don't want them there.

Not bad, but not really great either. Keep working on it, you'll get it.
