Envy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Alexandra - Hypnotic hardstyle]

Wow

I loved the intro, but it seemed a bit out of tune, the bass that is. Once it got going it was nice, but the kick was a little loud distorting the rest of the track. Try making a 4/3 hardstyle, I can definately see this in 4/3. I loved the stabs at the start, that was my favorite part.

Again, i don't know tons about hardstyle so I can't give real helpful examples, but the intro sounded really nice.

h4rdstyle responds:

Got to fix my distortion kicks, I'll go find a tut in youtube about that. Don't know what you mean about 4/3 hardstyle probably about the beat? You got to pm me about that lol. :P And I think you helped me allot by just taking time for reviewing me. ;) So thanks!

[Noisecontrollers-Venom Rmx WIP]

The thing that got me was the percussion.

The percussion seems to have jumbled up the mix.

Mostly because kick has a long sustain so anything after it gets distorted. I loved the "attack" vox can't lie in saying I'm a bit jealous of it.

Most of what I can offer as advice is the high's are dominating in this track. As bass-score said, a little bit more bass (With my experiences with hardstyle theres never been low bass, but more of a growl)

Can't really comment on much else because I don't make hardstyle so my opinion would be bias.

Nice work, some of the snares seemed a tad random, but it sounded good overall.

h4rdstyle responds:

Yeah my beats are quite distorted because of the kick.. However I don't know how to fix that, I am not that good with producing yet. :P Btw I could send you some of my vocal samples to you if you like! ;D For the rest, I think I'll turn up the bass to the max, and I'll posible change it to a more growling one you say. Also in fact now I hear the song multiple times I see I did wrong with the snares.
I am really thankfull that you helped me sort things out, and correct them!
You helped me more than enough, so your oppinion isn't bias! :P
Thanks for the review!

Awesome dude

I loved the piano work, and the buildup is awesome. So dancey.
The piano definately kicked the whole thing off awesome, although IMO the buildup took a little bit too long for my tastes, but once it got going it was awesome man.

Nice work!

[[Kickin' Pirate Track] (demo)]

Hmmm

I like the intro. (Even though it's mostly an intro XD)
Gotta say I don't much like the VERY punchy hats, they kind of hurt at higher volumes.
You know how I feel about the ARRRRRRRR lol, ploz take that out and do more of a vocoded voice like "K-kick-that-piiiirate shhhhhhiiiiiit" lol

As for the high pitched lead. EHHHHHHHHHH don't really agree with it, i feel like that would be a better counter-lead. I'd like more of a dirtier lower synth.

And theres one note at 55 seconds it's kinda off-tune. EHHHHHH

Anyways, You told me to tell you what I didn't like totally so I did XD

Nice work overall

Arrrr!~

[Dynasty of Destiny - BrixXMich]

Not gonna lie

Didn't listen to the whole song lol just the first sample. I used it to start off heaven rd. 3 XD

<3 vengeance.

BrixXMich responds:

yeah, like everyone else pointed out >_<
You could at least take some time to listen to the song instead of just the first sample :p
Thanks for the review anyway :p

[KH - Hand in Hand (Remix)]

Nice mixing!

Although trance isn't really my style I have to say I'm really impressed by the mixing on this one. It's extremely clean all the way through. I have to say my favorite part was definately the trianglish synth at 1:33. I would have like to hear more of that 8D.

Anyways, nice work! Not much else I can comment on that wouldn't be biased cause of style. The mixing was excellent though man.

fredrikmiller responds:

Thanks mate :)

[XS The Getaway]

Nice! But needs a little more mixing

This sounded like if it were cleared up a little it could be really cool. The loudness of the synth kind of distorted everything, making it hard to hear anything but the lead synth.
The break you have in from 34 - 56 seconds was really nice because it was clear. I feel like if the rest of the song was that clear it would be awesome.

Overall nice work, I'd like to hear a cleaner version of this sometime.
9/10 -1 for mixing 8(
5/5
