Ahurac's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[PM - Glass]

The guitar is pretty nice but the recording could be neater, I recommend you to invest in a btter mic, would be worth it imo. Nice progression and melody btw.

PenguinMusic responds:

I record the guitar through a combo amplifier, since this is an electric guitar, and since I do not have the opportunity to record in the studio, I record at home, where there are a lot of pickups that interfere with the recording.
Thank you for your feedback.

Happy birthday man :)
Let me give you some feedback on this audio.
The main synth needs sidechain so the drums stand out better. The drums samples are pretty cheap, I advise you to get better ones on the Internet. It's really minimal, you can add more elements on your next track (make sure not to overwhelm your track tho. It lacks of sub bass and hi-hats.

Where did you take this from?

[Origins]

The guitar in the beginning is cool. The chords are pretty generic. The lead is nice as the melody. The whole track is pretty generic btw but I'm rude to say that since the track is pretty well mixed. Just sad the snare is not more hearable. The melodies are damn cool and the song has a solid structure.
You deserve your scout, welcome to the approved artists section of Newgrounds!

AethenMusic responds:

Thanks for the comment! Making it sound generic was actually my intentions. I wanted to make a classic NCS track.

The drums are cool. The notes played by the chords are really random but the chords design is really good. The bass design is pretty weak but if you're a beginner producer it's already insane. There's some wrong notes tho, your global sound design is not that bad but for the melody it's pretty random. The structure is pretty nice even if the different parts could be longer.
Keep it up,

[INSANE]

The piano is pretty dry and cheap, I would have used a synth with quiet chords stack under it and also a bass to make it pumpier. A predrop would bring the drop in a better way that silence imo. The drop lacks of bass. The drums samples are a bit cheap, I recommend you to get some ones on the Internet. It lacks of sidechain. The melody is cool tho.
This genre sounds like Melodic Slowed Drum 'N Bass.
Wish you the best,

thanks for the feedback. incase you didn't know, the drum pattern isn't sampled, I made it myself :(
and I purposely didn't put any bass in the drop because I wanted it to be a bit empty, I didn't want it to be like driving/pumping tbh.
but thanks anyway! I'm glad someone didn't like it.

These progression and melody are definitely awesome. It doesn't make me think about the sunset but to an epic middle-age battle personally. Still really good.
Keep it up,
