MU53's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[TheBroox2000 & Itz_Gamepoint - Frozen Road (NGMC 2025 Entry)]

There's a lot going on here. The instruments at the beginning aren't great ngl. And the drop doesn't feel icy as well, save for some color bass-y fills. Mixing is also iffy, and I can hear my headphones pulsing quite a bit. I think a lot of the instrument choices are very haphazard, and do nothing to contribute to the theme, so scale back on that. Melodies are also really weird. Overall, it needs bump ups in the production and mixing aspect, and a lot more work in the theminng realm. Just keep practicing, and you'll see adequate improvement.

Production/Mixing: 5.5/10
Theming: 2.5/10

[ArikXu & arsalchowdhurymusic - Wanderers of the White Wilderness]

Not bad. Beginning portrays the theme pretty well. Vocals are covered in reverb, and basically unintelligible. Also can get pretty repetitive, but I think it fits pretty well with the icy theme, due in part to the choice to go the liquid dnb route. Also, I would like to hear a bit more from that square lead. But otherwise, like I said, not bad at all.

Production & Mixing: 7.7/10
Theming: 8.5/10

[Frosty Glide Ride]

Theming is on point. The racing vibe is there for sure, and the nostalgia hit I’m getting rn is amazing. Maybe a bit of a higher energy vibe would’ve been nice, but this suffices very nicely. Very good job

Thank you!

I fw it ngl

[Charlmot & PiAHC - Tundra Showdown]

Interesting way to approach this ngl.

Beginning does better with the arctic theme, but honestly lacks the racing aspect behind it. Mixing is also a big iffy at some points. Overall though, I fw it, especially the gabber at the end. It adds to the intensity, although mixing there could be a bit better, and the arctic theme is missing there now. Generally though, I like it.

Production/Mixing: 8/10
Theming: 7.7/10

[Personas]

I really don’t have much to critique. I just love it

[one80 - Computer Talk]

Why is my motherboard talking in tounges?

Sound design is neat icl. Nice structure. Especially love the design in the second drop.
Only thing is try and fuck around with sub syncopation where applicable. Cause from what I'm hearing, it's a continuing note until chord progressions kick in. I'd love to hear you play around with that a bit more.

otherwise, very cool. very awesome.
9/10

tried that before on this and it didn't really work with the genre tropes i was working with, thanks for reviewing though!

[[ARTCORE] Ropender - Days Before]

Rope man moment. Pretty cool ngl

[Apple Cider]

The apple is cidering

Pretty cool icl. Sometimes a bit offputting, but it's nothing song-ruining.

8/10

[Marinating]

I really don’t have much to critique other than the ending is abrupt to a fault. I’d have some sort of reverb ending so it’s less sudden

I really love how calm this is otherwise
