Curruff's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Cave Robot]

Damn, this is a great song! I'm glad my videos were able to give you inspiration lol. I don't think it was intentional but one thing I love doing is listening to songs that aren't in 4/4 and figuring out the time signature, which just makes this an even better present than it already was :D

Congrats on the frontpage btw, you earned it!

Latadenata responds:

I'm happy you liked It! To be honest, I really love composing outside of 4/4 even if I dont do it too much, it's really fun, so I'm glad you liked that too ;P

[Gears And Skulls]

I need to know how you got that bass tone

Burn7 responds:

For crunchier bass that still pokes out in the mix I do the thing where you find a good 1200-1800hz tone and boost the fuck out of it, then duck the guitars in that area.

I don't think the bass is as well mixed as it could be, I only used my monitors when fucking around with it. I kinda forgot to use other headphones to see where all the low tones were landing through different speakers. But it's just the standard Kick @60-65hz and Bass@120-125hz. Boost one , then duck the other.

I actually think I'm sidechaining a dynamic compressor on the guitars/bass for that 60hz kick duck... But I honestly can't remember now, I made this like 4 months ago and I can't remember shit nowadays :P

[Black Powder]

I love the atmosphere on this one, well done!

iodinex64 responds:

Thank you so much!!!

[Restriction]

This is a really solid track! The bass growls sound amazing, and I especially love the intro. The lead for the second half is the perfect addition, but it also sounds like it's getting a bit too loud in the second half as well. I think I hear some clipping at 1:18. It might just be me, but it sounds like the song starts to chop the audio a bit. Overall, though, it's a great track!

CrispyCroc responds:

Yeah, I think you might be right about the lead, thank you for the feedback, I'm glad you like it :3

[No heat]

Nice song! It's simple, but really good. However, it's a bit repetitive imo. It sounds like you copy pasted most of the parts throughout the whole song. There's nothing really wrong with this, but it could be more interesting if you added in some fills at the end of the bars, or switched up the instruments at times. Overall, it's still a great song. Keep up the good work!

Tamixx responds:

Thank you! I am taking it on count for the next song!

[Tony Ig x Vicetone - Astronomia]

I like the remix! It could definitely be mixed better, and it could have a more resolving ending, but it's overall a pretty good remix.

juliobee responds:

Thanks for leaving a review and checking it out, and sorry for advertising it, I wasn’t trying to self promote, just pointing it out. And yeah I agree the mixing is pretty bad lol. Anyway thanks!

[Get Out Drop Contest]

What's the BPM for the song?

TrickshotMusic responds:

150, everything is included in the flp including stems.

[[Melodic House] Rocket Start - Dreamland]

This song is amazing! Everything just works so well together, and the drops are great. This is just a good song!

ETRecords responds:

Glad you liked our release! There's more songs from Rocket Start below this one :)

[Midnight Journey]

Not sure if I would call this ambient, but it's a really great track! The synth sounds are great, and I especially love the sound at 0:50. The piano, while a little repetitive, is still a great instrument to add on top of it all. My only complaint would be that it is on the short side, but it's not a big deal. Keep up the amazing work!

GeoSap responds:

Thank you for listening my music!
The piano is really repeating a lot, it's because i have low experience.
I just wanted to not do mistakes by adding variation.

[XORBERAX (lofi)]

The main piano often sounds like it's wavering out of tune. It's not very pleasing to listen to. The rest of the song is spot on, though.

juliobee responds:

Thanks. thats an effect i wanted but i guess i added too much
