Midnights-Ocean's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[pillow song]

Nice changes. Chord lead is good. Sine lead is too piercing. Drum pattern is generic. Drum sound is good. Other supporting instruments are nice but could use some effects. Pleasant tune that could benefit from a little production.

Flascoe responds:

thank you for the feedback, i rarely use effects on anything because i'm a wimp but i might throw some on instruments in a future song

[It's Not The First Time]

This is all sorts of the things I love. I'm on cheap cans, so I can't be too critical. Only thing I would mention is the kit's kick could use a bit more volume and low end, unless it was intentional for it to be sitting way back. This is going to sound great with vox! : )

pitbulljones responds:

And here's me thinking the kick may be too heavy. But cans man.........i really need to reconnect my monitors. At least you haven't highlighted any bad mixing of the parts :)

I have sent this to my singer so hopefully she finds something

thanks bro

[Maybe Motown, Maybe Not?]

It does have that motown swinging beat, though I'm no expert on the genre. I like it. Who could balk with a sweet trap like that. : )

pitbulljones responds:

Good to know you agree it's in the motown swing. It's a genre I love, though lack serious practice, but it's basically upbeat blues......without the funk. Still have to try and retain the soul innit. I have a singer working on this atm so this should develop. ty bro.

[A Tiny Bit of Soul]

On cheap cans at the moment too so, all I can say is, it sounds good! lol

I really like how the bass and piano fit together. Was never a fan of horns but they aren't offensive here. Thumbs up my bro.

pitbulljones responds:

I'm a whore for horns. I'll put them in anything. Glad you think the grooves sitting. As you know these are demoes, i certainly want to develop this though :)

[[COVER] Killer RAT - Corkass (Will You Lick My Ass)]

dude a little delay on the main vocal is all I think this needs really. It's punk. Sounds nice and old school punk too, which I love. <:3 I think some people forget what that original punk sound was like. Bet they never listened to the dead milk men or green jello.

guyfromKillerRAT responds:

Oh for sure man, this was actually a cover of a blues-rock type song my dad and his cousin made about his cousin's brother, they were talkin' some shit in this one lol. I thought it was funny and so I made it punk. Maybe some day I can show you the original one before I covered it

[Natural Surround]

Beautiful! Very relaxing and atmospheric. ^_^

VariableGROfficial responds:

Thanks friend (≧▽≦)!

[I Wanna Know You (lover) {First run}]

Very nice. I like the composition. Effects are good. Mix is good except for a brightness that annoys me. Somewhere in between 2k and 10k. I'm guessing maybe a gentle slope 6k notch would help but I'd have to look at an analyzer to be sure. It's late and my head hurts already. Very nice end and fade. I dig it brah.

pitbulljones responds:

i have ear fade myself. I probably should have mixed down tomorrow. Can you dm me the particular bit, i'll use an analyser if I can find it, is in in the delay or the verb? I did run high and low passes and filtered dynamic range. But hey its the first pass, this is why we post ha.
