Ahurac's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[NamixGd - Evil]

Pretty experimental. That's a shame there's no other instruments than the bell and the toms, I'd love to hear a progression in the theme with other instruments added in time. But it's okay, nice job anyway.

[DoMaxVolt - A Retro Day]

Lmaooooooo this is so cool XD it lacks of drums imo

[The Morrigan Calls]

What is the name of the band?

HalKoopa responds:

Testament of Solomon. It's just myself and one other guitarist at the moment.

[EPICALLL - Lust]

There's some mixing problems, you should try sidechain, the effect to turn down volume of your instruments when the kick and the snare hit. You synths are a little bit dry, it lacks of reverb and delay.
Wish you the best for future,

~ Ahurac

EpicalllOfficial responds:

My headphones have worse quality then a tape recorder, so it's really hard to tell how loud or quiet something is
Also, yeah i was kinda lazy with the synths and used the same 2 synths the entire song

[Screemboi JAKUB - INFERNO]

o_O I was not ready for the drop... Anyway how did you do the main bass?

Screemboi-JAKUB responds:

The main bass was made in serum then I saved it as a file and moved it to GarageBand iOS where I put the bullhorn filter on it, then I layered it and merged it. You can speed the bass up by cutting it and looping it btw.

I really like this track, the piano slaps af. You hats are a bit loud. The lead at 1:09 is a little bit weird but that's nothing. Well done man. I scouted you to the audio portal, don't hesitate to send me your future creations :)!

MusicbyFlups responds:

Thanks a lot for the feedback and for scouting me. Everyone is very friendly here on newgrounds! Have a nice day :)

[Dirty step]

You should try sidechain, it gives more punch to the song. The kick is a bit loud. Drums samples are a bit cheap.

[Metal Warriors IV - Betrayal (REMIX)]

I love the intro! On the other hand, there's huge mixing problems in the drop... I mean, we can barely hear other instruments than drums, the kick has no sub, and plenty of other things.
I wish you the best for future,

~ Ahurac

Sillynder responds:

I see, thanks. I'll fix that (Done.)

[Yurgathred's Lullaby (Extended Vers.)]

The arp is really cool in this one. I think the piano is a bit loud contrary to the drums imo. It's not a problem if you're inexperienced with drums, just keep it simple with kick and snare, add hi-hats and make the pattern coherent with your composition, then you can add fills but it's not an absolute necessity. Be careful btw your hats in the song you sent me are really loud, it cuts the mix. If you want quality drums samples, I recommend you to get KSHMR 3 sample packs, they are focused on EDM but there's a lot of insanely good drums samples included, I highly recommend you to check out. I really love the instrument you introduced at 7:12, it vibes is really cool. Be careful, mostly when your piano hits, the song clipping, to avoid this, you need to mix your tracks at lower volumes, you'll see how good it does.

Bigcatfan0120 responds:

Thank you for the constructive criticism. Its nice to have someone actually listen to this! Also that instrument is a xylophone that is a ''default'' instrument on Online Sequencer, with added reverb and delay. Thank you for your wisdom regarding the piano; I have noticed it before but couldn't fix it. Thank you!
