Positron832's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Happy smoke]

This is rather good for a first time. Knowing some music theory pays off :P

ZombiefrogNG responds:

Thanks! And the fact that I can still hear that something is off here and there, despite being overall quite happy for the attempt, feels nice. Maybe I'll analyse it further and try to figure out how to improve certain parts.

[ME-OS OST 44 - ME-OS Theme]

I think this is a great blend between chiptune, electronic music, and amazing melodies. Incredible!

octopus58 responds:

Thank you very much! I did my best :D

[Positron832 - Chiptuneeee (YendorNG's Mix)]

I feel bad for not remixing your stuff in return but it's still very cool to see how you made it in an another genre. Nice pads and kicks too :)

YendorNG responds:

I almost sung over this track with some written lyrics about wanting my gameboy back, but I decided against it and kept it true to source as best I could. Big ups buddy. :)

[Dubstep loop]

I've been listening to this on loop for like 30 minutes now coz I dig it so much. Is this really 160 bpm by the way like it says in the metadata?

[Goodbar Goodnight]

A bit too loud for my taste, but the song is really good!

[DEATHSTEP!]

It's a nice listen, especially with those stereo effects

[I’m Green (NGAIC Layer 2 submission)]

I'm not sure how to describe it but it sounds like a midi file, which does have a charm. The song is pretty nice to listen to, and one thing that caught my attention was the trancy pad with it's catchy pattern. I think the weakest part of the song is the kick, which doesn't sound very impactful and I think it has unnecessary reverb. I'm guessing you used kicker in lmms? Another thing I think that could be improved in this track is the clarity, because some sounds (like the kick) get somewhat drowned out by other sounds in the chrous. It's a charming song otherwise though :)

CelestialChaos responds:

Thanks for the review! That’s as loud as I could get the kick, unfortunately, that’s the punchiest one I have without maxing out the levels. It’s sounds like a midi file because it is, I’m broke and that’s the music making program I have lol.

[I make the ice melt]

Pretty OK, although I'd like more variation. The song keeps going with the same melody (or arpeggio) for pretty much the whole song making it rather boring to listen to, making the moments at 1:34 and 2:24 feel refreshing, before the song went back to the same pattern. I feel like the song could've ended at 2:27 too since it sounded like an outro considering the silence, but it kept going with the same pattern except with new instruments. So what I think you could work on is the variation and structure.

[Pacific Ocean]

The song doesn't change much from start to finnish, but it's pretty ok otherwise. All instruments fit in together, and I like that plucky synth.

burningmagma responds:

I'll try to add more in my next song! Thanks for the review.

[The View From the Palace]

You know what you're doing. When I heard the width expand at 0:21 I was blown away, suddenly everything felt more spacious and dreamy. It got me thinking about large empty structures and landscapes, especially when the chorus at 0:43 came in. The drums have a great variety in sounds and set the calm mood in combination with the rest. Bass is used very well too. This is definitely something I will listen to several times in the future and imagine vast things while doing so. I know you're probably looking for feedback, but I have no idea how this could be improved.
