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!

Been waiting so long for this moment.
Probably some of your better sound design. Very atmospheric. Sub notes in the intro/outro could match the chord progression, but it’s fine as is. Also I’d recommend you mix up the layout of the outro so it’s a bit different from the intro, but that’s just me.

9.4/10

Solid song on both of your ends ngl.

I said this in the NGAP server, but maybe snare could be a little more punchy, and maybe even more prevalent by doing some leveling. Kick could also be a bit crisper. Also, you guys should utilize silence much more in your drops, cliché as it might sound.

Sound design is really nice. Chord choices & the melodical aspects are pretty cool too. Mix does get somewhat muddy when concerning the overall melodical synths. Like some things should be louder than they are. And some others are louder than they should be. Mix isn’t bad otherwise. I also like the random samples in some parts.

Even though this genre isn’t really my niche, I can’t argue that it’s really well done. Some mixing and sound design nitpicks on my end (I’m no expert on it either, so don’t take my advice as correct), but it’s good otherwise. 8/10

P.S.: Personally, I’d end the song with some sort of glitched playback effect, but that’s just me.

Really like what you've made here. Has a very spacey vibe to it. Very cool. Only thing is that it has a freakishly similar format to Be Alright, but that can be overlooked ig. Otherwise, good work. Clean production. Easy 9.3/10

Alright, let's try this again. RADON REVIEW #2:

After a relisten, I can definitely feel the spooky this time around. New Opinion: In terms of theming, this is the better one of the two. But production wise, this is the worse one.

I mean that bc mix is a bit muddier here. Especially at the beginning. It smooths out near the middle bit though, though there still is some things about it that kind of get me down a bit. Soundtrap limitations though, so what can you expect.

Also, don't get me wrong, the instrumental sound design is solid. Percussion wise though, I'd try to step it up a little bit. Also, the sample choices are pretty cool. But I must ask: is the bleep sfx just in there as a goofy ahh random thought? Or not? Interested to hear why you put that one in.

I understand how much Soundtrap is limiting you too. Seriously man, try and remake this on FL Studio. I wanna see what you can do with the better options given to you (Also, you don't really need any hardware for it. Hell, I don't use any and I manage fine)

Overall, hopefully this comes off as WAY LESS harsh than my first one, and maybe even a bit constructive. It's a good piece, but it definitely has it's flaws. 7.8/10 (rounds up to 8)

I don’t think I’m gonna be remaking many songs in a different DAW. The only one I really wanna remake is this one lol https://www.newgrounds.com/audio/listen/1297005
Thanks for the better review, helps a lot more
As I said before I’m tryna move away from amen breaks and I’m improving my drum-making skills! I wish I did do some more focus on the percussion ngl, I spent a lot of time on the melodic content instead.
I considered improving the mix yesterday but I decided not to. I think I’ll just accept the song as it is and move on!
Looking forward to FL studio lmao

Review time baby. Big delay from song release and my review, but whatever. We ball:

Unrelated, but kinda related, thought: I can tell you had fun with the sample usage. That's good, cause I personally think having some degree of fun during the production process is very important when making stuff. It serves as an indicator that you might actually end up enjoying the final product.

Would I say that this is spooky? Honestly, not at all. Now don't get me wrong, this definitely has some spooky undertones, but like you said, this song is VERY goofy. At times, the song feels much more like a sinister christmas theme (Mainly in the Goofy Section™ though). Then again, Gonks are christmas related, so it makes sense.

Production: In general, this is a very well produced song. Mixing is somewhat on point, and mastering is pretty good too. Everything sounds clean. Especially for soundtrap. Also, Goofy Section™ goes hard. Only complaints (and these are very trivial, so don't feel the need to cherry pick and fix what I point out here) are that the 8-bit part at 1:19 feels way too sudden. Maybe some easing into it would've been nice. Or even pushing the start of that part back to 1:15.

Preference things: Having some ascending notes to lead into 3:00's key change might be nice, but once again. Preference. Also, ending part could use a reverse cymbal riser to lead into the vine boom at the end. Works well without it though.

Otherwise, very solid song. One of your better ones for sure. 9.1/10

Thanks again, you made my day :D
