GameBalance's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Foretold Prophecy [Return to Elysium LP]]

3 songs in one - that's lame. shit is loud then very quiet. taste thing, OK.
2:00 нету эффекта щепка струны. не знаю должен ли он быть. но у меня ощущение, что его там не хватает.

GZAPPLE responds:

its mean to be very dynamic (from loud to quiet) for storytelling
also, I don't speak Russian, so I don't understand what you meant by "silver string effect" lol

[Sin Tiempo (AIM CONTEST 2023)]

Musically lovely. Sound is a bit harsh at places.

ZagyBoi responds:

It was meant to be harsh in some places, but I understand how that could be a problem. Thank you so much for your feedback!

[0i00 - Wandering on The River of Vomit]

That's more like a fast Trap/Dubstep, than DNB. Ну ещё работы надо, чтоб натренькать звук. По музыке в принципе хорошо довольно. Местами дудки(или что это) в конфликт с чем-то, наверное со скрипками, вступают по нотам(вроде это не авангард, чтобы это приемлемым считать).
Ну и чисто по моему вкусу не хватает более ясной басовой партии, чтоб она полностью подходила мелодии. Но это может чисто вкус.
[EDIT]
Да просто так пишу, да пишу, как пишется :)
Ну и ещё, хотя бы часть ответа будет всем понятна.

zeroizerozero responds:

Спасибо за отзыв!

Почему первое предложение на английском а остальные на русском?))
И в твоём ответе на мой отзыв то же самое было.

Разве? Совсем не разбираюсь в жанрах...

Наверное просто стоит писать бас после мелодии. Ну короче, исправлюсь.

[Aphex Twin - Flim (M4gnusRx Remix)]

you just need to learn lil bit of mixing. you boost the highs so much

[Inktober #20 - Atmosphere 2239]

not losing no sleep
I lose sleep

what's the point to tell opposite?

Cyberdevil responds:

Could say something deep about the transformative nature of life, about denial, about the transient and ever-changing nature of life but... it's an error, alas, bad continuity! Hadn't pre-written the final lines and just threw in something suitable there, not realizing it was conflicting with the first line...

I noticed too after I'd gotten pretty far in the recording stage but just didn't want/have time to start over at that point. Them errs they eh... make us human? Make THIS more human? Make it all the more confusing and in-line with the theme? Excuses excuses. XD

Good catch man... reminder to stay focused. Thanks for checking in again too.

[Inktober #13 - Night Shift]

Lacks in production quality. As a demo it's fine.
Also the fill with the lyrics is too much.
Needs more free space from the vocal.

Cyberdevil responds:

Clear and concise pointers here. :)

I realize my mixing's not amazing, but indeed these are more so an attempt to stay creative and make something every day of the month than to make something perfect - you could probably consider them all demos in that regard. But I shall keep at it! Till both pacing and overall production are hopefully impeccable! At least the stars show promise. ;)

Thanks for the feedback; stopping by this year too!

[Talurre - From Within]

Yo!
P.S.
I'm Bixenter
P.P.S
I probably would like the whole song only with acoustic

[Inktober #16 - No Cap Life]

You probably don't know, but the professional releases bother to make vocals fit the rhythm very well. Like, I know here it's more like a sketch. But keep that in mind.

That goes to back/doubler vocal as well. When the syllables are far away from the main vocal it sounds like drunk/unprofessional. Because all professional songs are tight.

This is extra work to make vocal cohesive with the song groove, but without it, it will always sound like a demo.

Cyberdevil responds:

Thanks for the feedback GB. I do understand my clarity isn't always on point, but at least for the ending here that was very intentional, I wanted to try following the style of the instrumental with the vocals, and chaos seems like a prevalent element. With Limp Bizkit overall, early on, they had a chaotic kind of composition/vocal pattern, but looking back maybe there was still clarity, maybe timing was a bit more intentional than I recall...

I know I have a lot to improve on otherwise when it comes to both timing and annunciation, with adlibs especially, shall keep working on it! Hopefully I'll get better with each one of these, indeed as it is it's not perfect.

This demo may get an overhaul in time, hopefully. ;) Appreciate the real advice, and fives!

[Inktober #4 - Actualize]

Yo guys! Not bad. I'd say it's a bit dirty/muddy music. But probably OK for underground stuff.

Cyberdevil responds:

Heeey GameBalance! Glad you liked it, despite the muddiness. Would love to try one of these daily verse(s) this month with one of your beats too if you'd be up for it.

The underground's where it's all at, with the underdogs and the coolest cats. ;)

[Uxvellda - Ariseth]

Yeah it's instantly noticeable it was inspired by songs of that kind
