Shamukh's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Edit (Padlock Rmx, BL Edition)]

Awesome stuff.

Felt like I was listening to Frog Pocket at the end there. I can hear the control that you had while making this, and that makes it all the better.

Great tune. :D

poopr1221 responds:

Thanks for the input! I'm a really big fan of Come On Primates, so it's seriously awesome to be compared to Frog Pocket.

[==(Shadow People)==]

Amazing.

10/8 on the measure at 4:20.

What Drum pack did you use? Some VST like Battery or something? I must know, they sound very nice. Great job man!

[Arctic Fire [Wip]]

Very good

Not gonna spend my time nitpicking because you clearly know what you're doing. All I can really note is that if feels like there's just a huge dent in the higher frequencies so it feels "lopsided". Punchy snare, but the kick doesn't seem to do it justice. Maybe if the higher frequencies stood out more though it'd be a different story. :)

Great track man.

SteakJohnson responds:

thanks! i suppose the kick needs to be crunchier then

[[Do a Barrel Roll-JaV]]

Haha.

I like your sense of humor. I'll give it a five. :)

[8bit - Heart]

This is awesome.

If you'd allow me to pigeonhole this, this is great autechre-esque IDM 8bit. Seriously though, this is awesome. Maybe could use some nice TrIaNgLe BaSs if you know what I mean.

IbeSm responds:

Definately man, thanks. Never heard of IDM, which is ironically something I've literally searched for... intelligent dance music.

I'll play around wih this concept :).

[[dannyNergy] It's Correct]

Hot

Perfect minimal house. It's pretty hard to pull this off but you know your shit man.

Aside from that I think you should try mastering it yourself and upload that, just for fun practice. ;)

dannyNergy responds:

Got way to much shit going on at the moment. I'll just let the label do it.

Anyways glad you dig it.

[xKore - Chrono Cross]

It's nice.

I'm a huge fan of plains of time and the chrono cross soundtrack in general. The arrangement of the melodies and harmonies were near perfect that they way you switched them around to me just didn't click; especially that modulated guitar sound. I don't think i was diggin' the 16th arp bass thingy you got going on there, I think it'd work better legato. I was also kind of disappointed that you only remixed a portion of the song. There was more to work with and I would have loved to hear it. Also, to be reallllly nitpicky, the melody's off by like 1 note lol.

As far as the mixing goes, the hugest thing I find wrong with it is that the power of the melody doesn't really match up to the power for the rest of it, so it seems a little off-balance imo. More energetic sounds would probably fit better (but don't use supersaws for the love of god).

Overall this is very nice 8D. Great job man.

xKore responds:

yeah i dont like it either lol.
