MU53's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

One of the most unexpected collabs for me, but I'm completely here for it. Absolute bop.

This is such a bop doe

[Black Jacket - Torrent]

GAH DAMN

This fucking bangs so hard

[Be Alright (nightcore)]

Filler ahh upload lmao

Though it sounds good, I like the original version more. Same critiques from there apply here though

I might be biased :)

Holy trance. It's good, other than some nitpicks, which I will share both the good and bad:

First part is good. I like the choices of synths. But it just feels a little bit too long duration-wise to me (idk why). Maybe shorten it a bit.

Mix is a bit too muddy from 1:02 to 1:56. If you're gonna rework it, fix some of the volumes/levelling. If you didn't cut any lows, do that. If you did, then maybe it's the volumes. But I like the usage of synths/instruments. Helps give off an uplifting trance vibe.

Also, 1:56 is a bit too empty for me, and it also feels a little too sudden. The feedback with most of it fading out could help it. Otherwise, first drop is perfect production wise. Feels almost like a club song of sorts.

Stylistic choice at 2:23 - Maybe some pads around there, along with small little piano bits here and there to add a bit more emotion.

2:53's transition part is sick and quite funny too. You seemed to have quite a bit of fun with this piece (despite the messiness)

Final part of the song is waaay too similar to the first part. Maybe play around with it a bit more. Mix some things up. Make it different somehow.

Overall, it's a nice song. Very messy, as you said, but I know you've improved a lot production-wise as of recent. Really repetitive, but such is the regular trance song. Also has its own unique charm to it which I can really appreciate. 8.2/10

whymsical responds:

yeah, i acknowledge the messiness
didnt really like how i made the final drop
be alright is a way better trance song, and tbh trance is just not really my genre

fair points all around, thanks for reviewing and listening!

radon review baby. Let's get it:

This is a very unique start in comparison to what you usually make I must say. I like the ambient approach taken. I just wish that it was a tad bit shorter, or maybe the extra synths could start kicking in at 00:30.

I like the ambiance used at 1:05. Like it symbolizes a new day of sorts. 1:36 - 1:50's thing sounds a bit corny at first. Maybe if I could hear a callback to that at the ending piece, then that would be nice.

02:24's part seems almost a bit empty. Like it needs pads in the background or something along those lines. 02:56's melody is groovy as hell though. Nice job on that. The ending section starting at 03:11 is also nice and smooth. The keys make for a nice tranquil juxtaposition to the rest of the track.. Maybe the riser at 3:25 could be a little bit louder. Not by a lot though.

All in all, solid song. Definitely different from what you normally make. Could use polishing though. I rate it a 8.8/10.

P.S.: Goofy Section™ where

NotLeLee responds:

Its ALL goofy section :^D
With the 2:24 part i tried adding lil risers to add collage, I tried adding a pad but it was just too laggy lmao
I think i did otherdo the length of the starting chords maybe but oh well
ty for review

Kick could be better, and snare could be a bit louder. But for 30 minutes, it's not bad at all. I've made worse in 2 hours :|

nice

AuroraEternum responds:

I still gotta fix the kick, and I’ll note it down for the snare!!

"It's a beautiful day in the neighborhood" ahh song

It's good though. I like the cheery vibe I'm getting. Only thing is that the piano can get very old after hearing it for such a long while.

Maybe try and mix it up a little bit at the drop section, or even adding delay and reverb to it in the beginning could help, and having it switch to only reverb in the interlude & drop sections.

Otherwise, I like it quite a bit. Good job mate
