Ahurac's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Be gone]

The gated pads in the beginning are damn cool. They play rhythmically random chords but on the melodic aspect they're fine. There's that dry weak gritty bass in the background, I can't really figure out what's its purpose. The chords are pretty harshy and. The square lead is pretty loud, it scared me XD.
The structure is pretty progressive, but why not turn this into a full song? That could be interesting. Greetings,

[Yes]

Is it a live performance or a MIDI? Sounds like a MIDI but it could be recorded with a microphone because of the low quality of audio (sorry for this, the piano piece is damn nice but the audio quality is def not).

Nice chords, they are really cool. The drums are a bit poor even if the samples chosen are good. Try to crank up the kick a little bit and apply sidechain. Sounds like Waterflame, that's cool.
Wish you the best,

Nice tune! The drums sound pretty cool with that bitcrush. Maybe the song is a bit dry. Also it lacks of sidechain so the kick is more outstanding.
Cool work,

What's the full name of the song an artist?

[first song]

Nice melody but what a short audio o_O.

[Fighting the God Living in You]

Les instruments sonnent très cheap. C'est dommage parce que les mélodies sont grave cool. Niveau arrangement c'est top. Ça manque de basses souvent par contre, genre de fréquences basses. Les drums sont vachement bien. Y'a une sorte de music box très forte à 1:33.
Continue comme ça,

Gus-ildirim responds:

Personnellement les instruments ne posent pas de problème, mais c'est vrai que maintenant que tu le dis la seule basse de la musique est peu présente à part quand elle joue seule. J'y penserai la prochaine fois. Et effectivement ça devient très fort à un certain moment et j'aurais voulu baisser un peu l'accompagnement mais j'ai pas utilisé mon logiciel habituel sur cette musique et j'ai jamais trouvé comment faire des automations de volume, donc tout ce que j'ai fait c'est augmenter le volume du lead pour qu'on l'entende bien, ce qui ne pose pas trop de problèmes mais je suis d'accord que ça aurait été mieux de juste baisser le reste.
Merci beaucoup pour ton avis en tout cas !

[Outer Kosmos - Close To Far Away]

The melodies rock as always. The hats are a bit loud compared to the rest of the drums in the acoustic part. The basses in the drop are pretty weird and loud but why not. Would be cool if the song wasn't that chill, especially with the pads in the drop. The mix between some upbeat house and bass music is interesting. There's some interesting fills and solo. The vocal clips need to be more wetter imo.

OuterKosmos responds:

Thank you for the critics :) I realised the hats thing a bit too late, but i guess it gives it some kind of different vibe haha. Also about the chill thing yeah, idk, i didnt really enjoy the transition from acoustic to dubstep thing if the drop was too dry, that's why I decided to add those pads (which are actually the same piano but with a reverb 100% wet)

Do you think the quality is good enough to eventually rech Geometry Dash succesfully???

[(Club) Dreams 2.0]

I thought it was going to be Robert Miles' Children (Dream Version) XD. The piano and the pads sound good. The melody at 0:48 and especially the bass sounds really unnatural. The drums feel improper to me.
Wish you the best,

ClubbinMusic responds:

thanks!

[Phonk1]

The groove really slaps, with these TR percussion all the way. The pattern is pretty good but the song feels pretty empty and repetitive.
