xracecar's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[~:Submarine Redux:~]

Not gonna lie, I miss the lowpassed strings from the original, but this is far better. The way that the song is structured is different, but still taking in your style of buildups, dropoffs, and breaks.

The instrumentation is solid overall, though some of them may need slight EQ changes.

The chords are definitely different from the original, and it may be for the better, different solos can be made this way, and could garner far better results from the original, which it has.

The submarine radar ping shouldn't really be hard-panned to the left, it kinda gets to you in a ear-numbing way, maybe put it 75% to the left and 25% right?

I know this is a finished product, and that this review is 2 years late (almost literally) but at least it's constructive criticism, right?

[~:Gloomy Night:~]

This is a nice piece, definitely one of the better ones I've heard. Some of the transitions need a little work, and the voice samples is kind of randomly placed.

[Shattered Light]

What DAW did you use to make this?

[Tetris Remix [Final]]

Going back about 6 years, or maybe a bit more, I was introduced to you from Cobra's TETRIS'D video. I think this is what started my music career pretty early on in my life. I loved your pieces through 13' and now I decided to go and look back after not visiting your page during 14' and 15'. It's kind of weird listening to something old, but is pretty much the start of what I've done with music for the past two years. It's a nice nostalgia factor that still has me coming back to your page for quite awhile, even though this isn't your best work (obviously).

[~:Drift:~]

Very nice piece. I like the build up overall as it fits together and doesn't feel like a loop going on forever with simple layers piled on.. The melody could've been better when it started at 1:17, it's similar to a previous piece you composed, Surfing The Wind.

[~:100 Miles:~]

This is definitely on my number one list for music. It made me cry as I let my imagination take over. The adventure none of us will ever get happened and I wanted it. That's how good it is.

thanks! <3

[Regicide [Chiptune]]

Sounds really good, although I can hear some overloading of the volume when the drums and bass kicks in. Really smart to use a snare that fits in with the overloaded channels.

[Torpedo!]

This is pretty good. Probably something I would make with what I use and hear. I'm guessing 8 channels at maximum?

I like how you add a bit of swing to some of your songs, especially with this one! It also sounds like something you'd hear at a halloween party.
