Porkbeef's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sawd0ff]

The use of samples was pretty damn neat.

[DJSS - Freedom 2(Redone)]

Good song, although I feel like there wasn't enough bass around 1:00.

The singing could of aliased less when being pitched, and I feel like the arp in the back could of resolved more.
The piano solo seemed slow and empty, but the note and mood choice was pretty damn cool.

I like how you side chained the noise in certain areas.

steelside responds:

Thanks for the kind words. I too agree with you on the vocals. as for the bass i think theres just not enough vol on the track in general i need to fix it. I wanted the piano to be slow and empty to evoke a trance. Thereas a lot more i can still do to this track.

[NuroGL - "Personify"]

Dude! The drums were amazing and the synths and bass were perfectly uniform.

I like the breakdowns and the background arps.

Only thing I didn't like was the rapping that started around 30 seconds. It was way too quiet, and sounded like it wasn't pitched that well.

Other than the only con I have, This song is fantastic and I'm actually going to download this.

[The Lost]

Great song, reminds me of the late 90's.

Some things though, your cymbals are either really loud or too quiet, and sound like they haven't been compressed much.

I REALLY like what you did with the synths and the gated bass. Also, I love the chemical bass when it's walking down/lowpassed.

[Maschine.]

Tip!

You said that without the distortion, the song sounded lame. If you want to make house, do some sidechaining if you want to have some fill and create an environment.

Also, have multiple oscillations playing the same or similar notes for melody.
Your melody was too loud, and it had distortion. A little EQ and phasing could fix the issue.

I really like the glide you added.

KittenBeat responds:

I am very familiar with side-chaining, I use it often. As stated in the description, it's not my maschine, so I wasn't familiar enough with the program to worry about the little details in the 30~45 minutes I had to play with the thing.
But thank you for the advice nonetheless.
