GameBalance's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[exacerbate]

Nice, I like it!

[Ever-Changing]

Cool, very cinematic indeed!

zybor responds:

Thanks!

[Last Hope]

Not bad. But too distorted. Don't limit that much. And there might be some mixing problems.

jjoon responds:

thanks

[Thaum Quest]

ok. the first part, not liked much. the second part is nice. but has some dissonant notes that feel out of tune. also there is some clicking happens sometimes.

Chrisbot6 responds:

Thanks!

This song has always felt a little off tbh, and started off as an experimental. I'm glad you liked some of it!

[Wind]

the delay echo is missing.

CallmeFazbear responds:

Where and what kind of delay echo, for which plugin or sound and what should it rather sound like?

[Plane of Existence]

Feels a bit too noisy for me. I would cut or reduce some highs on the background instruments to avoid this bright noise feeling. But maybe just my taste. The piano maybe pops out too much. The STR Pizz need echo when it plays without piano.

Ragekaje responds:

Thanks for the input! This is probably a lesson in caution to me. I went from mixing a metal track with loud instruments to mixing this and ended up compressing them similarly. Being myself, I assumed that even ambient tracks need to compete with in the loudness war. You are right, I should have backed off on some instruments and some frequencies. I actually didn't think of throwing an echo on those pizzicato strings, but now that you mention it... that sounds genius.
Thanks again!

[Horizon]

Not bad.

[Dreams]

my ears are bleeding

[SVMMIT - Dust Clears]

Nice. But the lead... It's too piercing. Did you set high frequencies up for it? Well, reduce them.

svmmit responds:

I think the lead sound totally in general doesn't fit this song, but I tried going through a ton of different sounding leads and I just couldn't seem to make one fit very well.

[Happy Hour]

nice uplifting song in 2000's style
