ImCold's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[the meme fbi's adventure across the ocean]

wow this is really well made, I love the classic feel this has. The lead going over the basses is really nice. The only thing you might wanna do is work on song structure

thememefbi responds:

yeah i absolutely agree with you, this song's structure is very weird and i probably could of made it alot better if i took more time with it.

[Zoftle - It's Called Briddim, Bro]

I think this song is pretty cool, but it would be so much better if the drop was mixed better

First sidechain the basses to the kick and ssnare!!!! I cant hear much sub at all, you can use the direct out settng for the sub oscilator in serum to make it bypass any effects, or you can start a new sub patch and work with that. (make sure to eq all the sun out of the growls) Also the main growls lack some bass in the 100 - 200 hz range

you also can make your drop hit harder high pass the build a little so the sub will really hit hard. One more thing to do is at 1:04 when your drop starts, just play the basses without sub or drums for 2 measures and bring them back in at the 3rd. It will build anticipation and blow the socks off the listener

also pleaseses dont make the drop so loud when exporting bcaeuse it is clipping!!!11

Zoftle responds:

WOAH MAN THANK YOU! When I get a chance, I'll update the song :)

[Zoftle - It's 2015 Again]

I love that there are still some people who still make classic dubstep. Im really vibing with the piano

Zoftle responds:

Thanks man that is my goal :) stick around for some more :)

[BLYK KYD TYPE BEAT VOL. 2]

I think you need some more saturation in the drop

Zoftle responds:

HAHAHHAA YES AND WAY MORE DISTORTION

[Need ( Abandoned Project )]

you got a real nice lead there, it could be used for some really powerful edm or something. The genre that you are composing in does not really match the sound you have there, maybe turn it down or eq it a little. The background elements are also kinda quiet compared to the lead, you could really benefit from adding a mid ranged pad in the background. Also the plucky bells are cool but can use a little reverb on them

[Queen of Spades]

yoooo thats some groovy stuff, all of the elements came in at the right place and brought something new. The kick is a little to soft but it works when other instruments are added.

something weird happens when you add the pad in the background at 1:17 It could be that it needs to be eq'd a little.

The part at 1:37 is sick, I really like the talking plucky lead

SennaLeafMusic responds:

Thanks. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Quick question: Must I keep making songs like this?

[Raindrops]

wow the begining is super cool when tha drums came it became really awesome. you should consider adding some small percussion samples that are panned alot to give a ticking feeling. I think it would work nice with the piano. I think the chord progression and melody are fantastic, everything works so well together.

Dag0 responds:

Thanks! I will consider working more with panning in the future. . .

[Wings Of Ash - God's Eye]

this is dope! how did you get the basses so fluid and wooshy

ESHRR responds:

Lots of phasers and vocoder. Makes neat liquidy sounds.

[Disintegrate]

The intro is very nicee, very much vibe if I may say. The kick needs more low end to it and the snare could use some reverb.

The drop isnt bad, you have a good template but the actual basses are hard to hear. I operate on FL studio 20 so I dont know what kind of effects you have on mobile. I would add distortion and compression to the growls. eq the low end out of the piano in the drop, and add a sub bass.

you seem pretty good at making melodies and instrumental stuff. I like how you used some of that in the second drop. You should kep going with this stuff and keep slappin

FirechompGD responds:

Thanks! My DAW only has 14 tracks and I forgot to put the sub bass. It's hard to EQ things on mobile since I have to work on ear and didn't know eqing that much, anyways thanks for the feedback!

[Celestial]

yooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

The piano is fire, you made it eevrn cooler with the strings. The snare could use a little compression and reverb because is sounds weak. The drop is really nice. I recomend using OTT compression because it sounds like you dont have it. Also add distortion to the mid bass and turn up the sub.

the part at 01:51 hits with some magic, i really dig it. The second drop nedds the same advice that i gave earlier. The lead you have is very dreamy and fits well. I can 100% vibe to this song

SharpenedSwords responds:

Thanks! The feedback's appreciated :D
