Khuskan's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bohemian Raphsoody Remx]

Hmm.

I know an inported midi when I hear one, especialy since none of your other tracks have nearly the same compositional or performance quality, which sort of kills the fact that there was any effort behind the piece at all. The point of remixing a track is you put the notes in yourself and make changes as you wish.

As for clarity, it was clipping out A LOT, especialy when the lead vocal instrument came in, and to be honest it wasnt really a remix. It was sort of a re-import with some shitty defualt instruments.

Either way, keep at it and try to make some stuff of your own, it still shows you're learning how to use your software...

BotonyProduktions responds:

Thanks bro. Well, Im not to good at this FL Studio thing yet. Im still messin around with it. Trying to figure some shit out. THanks for da review.

[Low Pressure--_--LOOP]

Yaay!

My head inadvertantly bobbed to this track, though I feel you could have looped it better instead of just fading it together

PERVOK responds:

but im a lazy bastard, so i didnt wnana put too much effort into it.

Thanks for the review, Khus!

[Waluigi Pinball]

Good...

Tis a good cover. Very good BUT it CLIPS horribly. I mean seriously, it dosn't even compress, it just CLIPS.

Turn the master output down, you're way above maximum volume with those drums hit, which REALLY pulls the mark down.

Raccoon-Sam responds:

I can't see what you mean..
Sorry.

[§Zeth§ Forest Theme]

Yay!

I havnt heard this one remixed properly yet, and this was a pleasent suprise. It wasnt too bouncy, like many other covers of it are, or too staccato and it had a great feeling to it.

One thing I noticed, was the alto strings on the first part missed a note out of there at the end.

Yours went C# B Bb B Bb B G F# and missed the Ab on the first time round, but not the second, sounded a bit odd considering it was carried with the Ab the rest of the way through.

The other instruements sound great, and are introduced excelently. One problem I did have was either the tuba, or the trobones seemed to sound very parpy after the xylophone. It sounds like it should be taken up an octave to me. Also, turn the volume on that xylophone up. At that point in the song, it holds the melody, but it was being drowned out by the other instruments.

Excelent orchestration though, well done.

XGM-Zeth responds:

Thanks; Constructive Critism is great to have laying around.
As for the string thing; I know.
My brother commented that as well.
And as for the tuba; I turned the velocity a bit too high at the end; making it too dominant; and it should have been up in a higher octave.

the xylophone isnt that dominant at the real thing either; I checked.
But it could have given a touch to the song if i did turn up the volume.

[Deep Eleven]

Ooo

Interesting little mix you've got here. I wouldnt really call it techno as such, more glitch/pulse hybrid. Very fun to listen to as well. I love the way the vox at the start pitch bends up but still stays in time its a nice twist. It sounds like it needs a bigger bass element, mind.

SolusLunes responds:

Well, we don't have a glitch section, so I'd love to put it there, but I had to put it here. I'm glad you like the voice- I hated it just before I submitted it and then I said, "To hell with it. Let's put it on," and left the voice there.

[Drifting in Space-Solus]

Because you said I would like it

Would have suited ambience better methinks, but wow, that was pretty awesome. It was almost hypnotic... There were a few mischords between the pads and piano, i'd get a time for you, but i'm too lazy.

Is it just me or have you flammed that bass drum? Somthing sounds wrong with it, but I just can't put my finger on it. What do you use anyway?

SolusLunes responds:

What do I use? I could tell you, but then I'd have to kill you. :)

[Barber's Adagio remix Revamped]

Woo.

I love this song, so remixes always interest me.

Thing is, it just didnt sound right. The right idea of melody was there, but without the chords beneath it, it really wasnt that good. Its still not realistic, but it is trancy sounding which is good. When the lead comes in, dont make it change key with the strings until the very last cadence, it should make it sound a bit thicker. It really improves once the drums kick in though.

Still, you need to get those chords in there somwhere.

Xyanide responds:

Yeah i know i think i'm going to look for some midi file and rip out the scores from there for the other intruments cuz i only have the main violin part in at the moment i don't think that one is going to come on here tho 3 versions of the same song is a bit too much XD anyway i know the strings still don't sound realistic but a lot better then the older version i had. Thnx for the review :)

[WoW mix (Preview)]

Good, but

You just stuck drums ontop of another track of music, a track of music you didn't make or have permission to use, and therefore are in breach of both the portal rules and copyright law. Good day sir.

Fury responds:

[Quack Hack]

Yay!

That duck does actually sound a classy guitar. Weird it is indeed!

Very origional and fitting songs, and the drums and guitar was excelent.

Jhalkompwdr responds:

"That duck does actually sound a classy guitar." Typolol.
It's an awesome duck too, it floats and can be driven around ponds and such.

[Lightswich Rave II]

:o

Lack of stereo made baby jesus cry.

This is rather uber trancy, with a lovely pounding bassline and trancy sounds. One of your best yet, but still not quite beating final bowser heavy metal thingy ;)

Jhalkompwdr responds:

Not enough filespace makes baby jesus cry.

I'm working on a solo for Bowser HR, see if it'll got on OCR this time.
THX anyhoo.
