Sequenced's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Broken]

Work on your mix. Your lead synths are too loud. change up the chord progression too. It's played out for the entire song.

Change a different fx for 3:29. Those risers are way overused.

do not use those "hype" builds for this type of stuff. If your mix doesn't have the crispyness and clarity, it will never sound good.

I would do some research on progressive house too.. look up artists like guy j, darin epsilon, cid inc - on youtube. Those artists can give you an idea of what sound you should be striving for in this genre.

[Bass Waves]

A decent melody. The drums sound pretty clear. I would completely scratch out the intro. Maybe it would sound better if it was more smooth like the rest of this song. Keep it simple.

The 8bit -like bass sounds cool. I like the pluck thing at 0:50

Fix the transition after 1:00. That section didn't make sense. cut out the kick and lead in with a reverse crash or something.

Not sure what you are doing with those drums at 1:40. Pick one loop and stick with it. If you were to add more then bring up the volume over 4-8bars.

Work on the transition at the end to. Everything just cuts out for no reason.

Keep at it.

[TIGER M - Titles (Original Mix)]

Gotta work on that mix. Your lead was way too loud. A lot of the elements around the 6:00 sounded very random. Take some time and review other music of these particular genres. Maybe that could help you write your ideas down better for these particular genres.

I'm not entirely sure what's the point of making this 18 minutes. Nothing really new was added.
Your piano melodies do not really make sense at the 15 minute mark. You gotta really focus on following a certain idea and go with there, that way it will sound less random

I would personally not use those "eurotrance arp synths" that you used here. It's an oldie sound and not particularly interesting.

Pick some better sounds and be mindful when writing melodies next time!

[Revelry]

Neat idea. You need to spend some time on this mix. The drums do not stick out and gets muffled with the rest of the instruments.

The arrangement could use some work. This is a very basic form and has no real build up to a chorus. You got one chorus part but it doesn't feel like it because of the lack other elements in the intro. It just sounds like you pasted some patterns together, cut the drums and the bass and called it a song.

While I do like the idea, this sounds unfinished to me. Keep at it.

[Inhibition]

Neat tune. I would change the bells to more of a raw distorted synth, but that may just be personal taste.

keep on the grind~

Everratic responds:

I get what you mean. I used a preset and forgot to alter the sound :P

Thanks again!

[AIM - Serenity of the Forest]

You've grown a lot since the past couple years man.

Happy to still see Newgrounds still having a positive affect on new musicians!

You should come join the Newgrounds Valhalla audio discord chat. A lot of regulars are there, and I believe you would get along with us just fine.

Keep doing you my guy!

[Ripter - Revelation (Remastered)]

Neat song.

The drums don't have a lot of crisp to them. Shorten up the ratio and add some more attack?

Your mix has A LOT of low mid. don't be afraid to push the high end a bit on your synths. That fill around 2:26 is kinda generic. a reverse crash is really all you need.

maybe up the tempo? feels kinda slow.

[Astedroid I Into Sky (Original Mix)]

its ok..

use a different drum fill roll thing

[Boundless]

you are really starting to mature with your melodic songs mah dude

don't stop what you're doing
