Positron832's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Unwelcome Stomper-]

That's a lot of audible clipping... A tip to reduce it is to do gain staging by turning down every volume knob and gradually turning them up again to an appropriate level for each instrument. I usually start with the kick and snare. Another tip is to EQ out unimportant frequencies from your instruments to give room for other instruments.

Okey... well clipping is a kind of distorted noise that occurs when sounds go above 0db and loses part of it's signal. This is especially noticeable after 1:41 in your song but can also be heard when the heavy kicks and snares play throughout the song. You can tell it's gone above 0db if the orange doesn't fit in the visualization.

Casporb responds:

I really can't understand stuff like that... Sorry.
Also, where does that happen?

Edit: Oh, at that bit it's intentional.
Another Edit: Looking back, in 2023, I agree with you. I can't believe how shit I was back then.

[Lightspeed6 - Last Stand]

Song feels a little dry, only a little bit, but nice use of bitcrush. It was a good listen :)

Lightspeed6 responds:

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[[NG Exclusive] X3ll3n - Last Minute]

I think a snare would've sounded better than a snap. Still, I love it. The chorus is so catchy too.

X3LL3N responds:

Thanks

[Never Gonna Give You Up Remix]

The synth and piano are pretty good. Drums are meh. Overall I like it.

StDani responds:

Thx for your rating I fixed the drums! I hope it will be better

[Another World]

Could've been a bit quieter imo coz I hear a bit of clipping here and there, but the song is nice.
It does sound better now :D

TheNGVirus responds:

Took care of the clipping, hopefully it sounds better now <3

[Hat in the Snow]

This is... actually beautiful!

NikoMakesMusic responds:

Thank you! :)

[Hate Everybody]

Melody becomes pretty repetitive but the song is not bad.

TheMusicWarrior responds:

Repetitive melody is the experience property of melodic-trance.

[DJ Spyroof - Reach For The Moon]

Verey gooud!

The sliding between the notes are really cool. I love the 2000s feel too!

DJSpyroof responds:

Thank you!

[Literally the only piece of music I've ever made]

It's meh. A bit repetetive and some notes don't really fit together.

Philo2020 responds:

The repetitiveness is because this was just meant to be a test on how the DAW worked, but I thought it sounded good and I still had the file so I put on NG.

[World]

The sounds and melody give this a dark atmosphere. The sounds and drums are very nice. Very good song!

Slaureado responds:

Thank you so much, I will try to improve my beatmaking skills and make more good songs)
