BlueTuxedo's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Fear - By Nitrofober (Me)]

Damn good DNB. Nothing really bad I have noticed, so it's strong 5 stars out of 5. Keep up great work! The melody is melodic and has a pretty great synth used on it, the starting arp really adds flavour, drums are being DNB. The break-up part in the middle is just great. Although I could've said the first part of the song could've been slightly longer. But it's already 3 minutes so good enough! And also that you made the second part of song different from the first one is a great way to keep listener excited. Keep up great work!

DJ-Nitro5berTv responds:

I really enjoyed, that you like my work. Thatks for that good words :)

[Plasma]

It feels like the entire first half of song is a build-up which is not good! It's so stretched and pretty annoying sounding, that anyone first listening to this song will be like "Oh god, what is this? I better listen to something else" and just don't listen to it fully! But the last half, it actually does contain some kind of melody! And it sounds good! Try to not make such long build-ups next time, and everything will sound just fine.

ItzYarkt responds:

OK. I will do everything as you said. thanks for the feedback.

[Quartz. (Lo-Fi Hip Hop Beat)]

It sounds very good. But the mixing sounds kinda weird.. like if some instruments and sounds are Lo-Fi (Main keys) but some are not (Rain). And also it ended pretty abruptly.

Stilwuf responds:

Yo thank you for the feedback! And also apologies for the mix because I wanted the track to sound bassy while still having a lo-fi aesthetic, however it ended up sounding like this. Once again, thank you for listening and for the feedback!

[Surface]

Very short, doens't have alot of structure. But I like how it sounds. You have some potential! Just make your songs last lomger, add a proper build-up and it will be great!

IAmMusicMan responds:

Thank you! I will consider it.

[Chionophobia]

Hey hey, this is your local critic here. The intro and the outro is the best parts. Overall sounds good, nice samples and synths, although you always have some parts which doesn't really sound to be in right scale.. like the one's after 0:55.. also, you really never change anything in your pattern proggression, all I hear is "Electrocution" again. Although it maybe is "Your style", I would say you need to make something kinda more different. Also, "hard-to-keep-up"? Well, in my opinion this doesn't sound like a very high BPM to be a "hard-to-keep-up".

Also, what Chionophobia means? From what it reads like, and from what kind of instruments I hear in the song *I can only assume*

EODTC responds:

Chionophobia means people who are afraid of snow and yea random or rapid percussion is my style (hi-hats mainly)
it is preety easy to understand so ill change it to easy

[Shadowscapes]

I LOVE BIG BRICKS OF AUDIO WAVE *headphones destroyed*
Sounds like a good Drum N Bass, even a little retro. Although I mostly liked the part at the start (The first BIG BRICK OF AUDIO WAVE and what was before it), the middle AUDIO WAVE BRICK sounds too crunchy.. or it's just sound of my headphones exploding, true about third BRICK OF AUDIO WAVE.

Sinthology responds:

That was a mean trick by me, wasn't it?

[Everyday Is Over [JAMUARY DAY 3]]

Really sounds like a mix of a alarm clock you hear at morning and hate it because of it everyday, and some Lo-Fi chill vibes that you love and sleep listening to LOL. But still, alarm clock wons, this sounds more upbeat. Also, did I just heard FL Studio stock strings? Wait, but you don't use FL Studio.. uhhhuhuhhhuhuhh.

Quarl responds:

Dude, I use Propellerhead's Reason. FL isn't the only program with decent instrument patches ;)

[Today Over [JAMUARY DAY 2]]

Hello again! THIS ONE IS HELLUVA GOOD, literally symphony for my ears. Really sounds like some elevator music or in some game lobby. But sadly it's so short. If not a secret, tell me what sound you used for piano? Is this pitched up Rhodes? Or basic FL close grand piano with reverb?

Quarl responds:

It's a standard Rhodes MK II sound, typical from genres like jazz/gospel/classic rock. The patch is a Reason built in preset but there might be a few additional fidelity units on it. Every final bar in the phrase has sustain pedal. I'm not looking at the RSN file right now but hopefully that covers your question.

Everything is going to be short this month. I'm not killing myself trying to make these daily tracks any good : )

[It's Over [JAMUARY DAY 1]]

Hello Quarl? Remember me? So uh, the beginning of song was extremely good. But the song itself is kinda "Meh" this strange arp or gate is sounding so not melodic, maybe someone else will like it, but not me. Good luck with not burning out because of January.

Quarl responds:

I'm into hella atonal genres of dnb. 15 years ago dnb was described to me as "mostly chromatic" which of course isn't true but for a lot of those "bass leads" it often is. Sorry your not into this much, mix is pretty bland tbh.

[Free Soul]

I can't really say many things. Liked everything in this song, at the start it sounded like some RPG tavern music lol. Then it evolved in some chill-intense vibes, like we are doing something passively aggressive. Keep up great job!

zybor responds:

Thank you :3
