Ahurac's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Right Wing]

It lacks of sidechain when the kick hits. Also the drums sounds like they come from a House Music song, not really dubstep.
Keep it up,

the skiddy bop dop dee tunes

[Unnamed]

The melody is not really coherent. It lacks of sidechain. The rhythm is groovy tho. The drums are a little bit tho. You should switch to a real DAW, GarageBand is limited in features.

X-ManOfficial responds:

Hello, thank you for your feedback. I can't go to FL Studio as I don't have the option to fix my broken laptop. As everything will be, so I will say. In the meantime, I'll be making tracks in GarageBand on my iPad. I'm a beginner and I don't know much about electronic music yet. So if I have any problems, then feel free to comment. I will correct myself.

The main instrument is a bit cheap, you should add layers or design it more. Drums are cool but I can barely hear the kick. The melody is nice. There's no transition to 0:40 and the drums are extremely loud. It lacks of elements in your builudp. You should layers your chords or switch to a more appropriate instrument. Arps in the second part of the drop are nice.
I have a doubt, are you the original author of the song? Songs with such a description are usually reuploads.

SlapFishGD responds:

I couldn't find anything else to use as a good instrument for the main, since I use Soundation to make my songs I find it very confusing and hard to find an instrument I like. About the kicks, I dunno, maybe I could EQ the lows up and make the rest quieter? Also yes, I am the original author, if I need to prove it I can send the YouTube link of this song

[Pixelated Flowers]

Sounds cute. Some instruments are a bit dry such as you lead. Also it has some mixing problems.
Wish you the best,

~ Ahurac

[Tear's Theme (SjälTale) - LapisTheWol]

Sounds cool. The strings are a little bit cheap, try to teak the ADSR enveloppe if your plug-in allows. It has some mixing issues but nothing serious. Be careful the synth at 1:04 is really loud.
Really cool job, well done,

~ Ahurac

LapisTheWolf responds:

tysm!

[Wonderous Technology (A.K.A Post Avatar Depression) (A.K.A Layers of Babies)]

You have potential man, the fact that you want to convey a message though your music make me think this. Let me give feedback so you can improve your producing skills. The acid bass is only hitting the first beat of each measure, which makes it not really interesting, a more detailed pattern would be better. Also it's a little bit dry, you should use delay (but sparingly) and other tail effects. I believe the main instrument is the initial patch of LMMS' Triple Oscillator. I'm okay if it sounds good to you, but from a technical point of view, it's worthless (it don't brings enough frequencies, it's literally 2 or 3 sine waves). The acoustic kick is a bit cheap. I recommend you not to layer 2 kicks, it's dangerous for the mix. The whole drums are pretty cheap, you should not only use LMMS samples, they are really bad. Type "drums sample pack" on the internet and you'll find tons of quality samples. Melodic stuff sounds really random, music theory is not necessary but here the melody is not coherent. You should turn down the volume of your tracks to at least -18 dB so you track doesn't clip. For the structure, try Intro - Buildup - Drop to make it more interesting.
Keep it up, also let me know if you want to know more about music production via DMs, I'm open.

[Sunday Music - Groovy Escape]

Cool tune. I don't have much things to say, maybe the drums are a little bit cheap but it's okay.
Keep on rockin,

~ Ahurac

[WarCora Winter Edition]

The drums don't stand out enough imo, it lacks of a strong sidechain. Some notes sound random in the intro but after the melody is really cool, but I can't figure out why it changes all the time without transition...
Good luck for the future,

~ Ahurac

[PRINCE CHARMLESS - I want love but i'm ugly]

Why tf are you not scouted? I did so.
The theme is really catchy and cool, sad the bass doesn't stands out a little bit more, and the instruments are little bit dry.
Well done and good luck for the future,

~ Ahurac

[8888]

Nice acid synths but why do all your instruments play random notes ? XD
