KI1's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Along The Waves-]

I think what I like most about your music is that it almost always sounds like the theme you set for it. Tropical island sky at sunset? Christmas in a village? Streets at midnight? Yep - they really do be sounding like that (✿◠‿◠)

Creeperforce24 responds:

Sometimes it’s completely accidental. Such as Midnight Vibrancies, that song really was purely experimental with EQ, and the rest just came to me. It was only towards the end I got the idea of a Midnight Street. In fact, I actually think I made the cover first, which may have made some sort of subconscious inspiration. But songs such as Christmas in Basylton and this one are most definitely put after a certain theme, and I’m glad I’m able to get that form! Thanks for the support man, it’s always appreciated
(✿◠‿◠)

[-Midnight Vibrancies-]

I like it!
The fact most of your feedback is about EQ/mix etc. means everything else is solid. Like with all music making, it'll just take more experimentation and practice to master (pun intended).
Love your VGM style as always, the ambience in this one is particularly cool!

Creeperforce24 responds:

I agree, I seriously need to work on the EQ, but I’m sure it’ll make more sense eventually! I really just wanna learn more about music, cause staying in your comfort zone is one of the seven deadly “synths”… get it? ;)

I just realized I meant to credit you and Steampianist as inspiration since you guys taught me some tips on using EQ, which lead to this abomination. Thank you so much for your kind words :D

[Sunset Chillout]

Playing your own live bass in a DnB track during this day and age is a huge flex.
Love the chopping of the breaks, making them go BZZT. Totally not gonna keep that idea for later...

ADR3-N responds:

See, and I thought it was lazy! Because I didn't find and chop someone else's bass LOL

Do steal my idea. I had so much fun on those breaks, I extended it to chopping the rest of the track!

[Secret Agent Sunglasses]

Love this - right up my alley. That looping sample is really cool, along with the bass it makes the track sound almost French House(?) for a bit. So interesting to hear the cowbell used melodically in a... 'non-phonk' application.
Great work as always :)

ADR3-N responds:

You're right on. I was inspired by some old French house tracks as I was producing, namely Alors on Danse. The sample is just a brass patch I found on the Proteus. I picked a key, found the tempo, and went with it

[-Paranormal-]

So many great changes of rhythm and mood throughout - loved the little bit of ambience at the end. That sort of acid-ish synth really does give it a spooky feel.
Great stuff!

Creeperforce24 responds:

Thanks so much! I did not expect you to check out my stuff! If you want truly good stuff (according to @Taintedlogic), check my song ZethraSphere!

[Blink - Plastic Sky]

Yep

Yeah, it's stuck in my head now, thanks...
I liked this one, the soft bassline and piano-ish thing worked well :P

ADR3-N responds:

No problem, it happened to me too. Now I'm afraid I'll never get it out.

As for the piano thing, it's a celeste synthesizer, if you're interested.

Thanks for the review! =3

[Off to Nowhere]

Naice

So there's boring ambient and good ambient, this one's neither, it's great ambient.
Usually I can't sit through a whole one of these, but this was really good.
I reckon the transitions went well though, not too abrupt, and yeah, I could listen to this for hours :P

ADR3-N responds:

Haha, thanks. I really appreciate it. The nostalgia effect was what I was going for. I'm glad I got it. =D

[bass test dark]

For a first

Good, for a first submission. But if you want to make this into a song, you're going to have to add more, such as basslines, melodies, chords etc. Unfortunately, kicks, claps and voice synthesisers aren't enough to make a song.
Mabey have a look through some of your plugins, such as Fruit Kick, DX10 and Styrus.
Keep going, you'll get good :D

asagoth11 responds:

i just got bored dude, thanks for the sugesstion please check out my numa numa FLremix its way better

[(_RGH_)Pillagers(Cello Crack)]

Wow

Wow, this is actually pretty fantastic. Mabey the only thing is possibly increasing the strength of the drums without overpowering the cello's? Lol, the cello's even sounded like an electric guitar at times.
Hm, I might just take this for a flash submission :P

RyeGuyHead responds:

that would be swell

the drums could be enhanced...

[(_RGH_) Psychotic(Sniped)]

Nice

Yes! it's great, should work nicely with what I have in mind. PSG is still in development and should be out soon(ish)

RyeGuyHead responds:

I might turn this loop into a song soon(ish)
