JA4Y's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[HOST]

this is really polished and a cool new direction for you!! only complaint is some minor tonality stuff and then i also wish the 2nd drop was more different, very cool tho!!

[The Carnival]

wow, your compositions are on a whole other level now. amazing job!! <3

[dreading]

wow.. this is beautiful

[Nematode]

this is absolutely awesome. probably one of your best works. the vocoded and glitchy vocals with the solemn chords and melancholy vibe is such a perfect combo. also i love those cool percussive notes so much. im curious how u made the sound for them. it almost sounds like distorted bottle hits or smth. overall this is so great. amazing work with an immaculate vibe and groove

ThePal responds:

Thank you for the heart-warming words!

In FL Studio, the glitchy percs were made using FLEX, and then finding "Perc from bass guitar" in "Histibe Electronica", and then playing around with distortion and down-sampling to get the result I wanted.

I'm glad you liked it this much, means a lot!

[Generic name here]

this is so sick. gives me big action movie vibes or epic chase seen type stuff. also the chords are awesome

[You're No Stray]

the instrumental on this is sick. I love those cool percussive sounds and that bass sounds so cool. you could do really cool soundtrack type stuff

[DORITOS]

this goes so hard

[Platinum]

a bit repetitive but you're definitely improving. overall pretty nice!

[Midnight Mist ⁽³ʳᵈ ᴰʳᵃᶠᵗ⁾]

that bassline is really good. not so sure about that first lead tho, it doesn't quite seem to fit with the rest... the bells work really well tho! also I love that transition at 1:01 its a nice little switch up but its not alarming. oh one last thing tho, kinda a fundamental thing but the rhythms are overall a little wacky at times, not sure how to describe it but some parts just feel a little off in the groove. overall cool tho, I hope u finish it!!

ThePal responds:

I took your rhythm thing into consideration and changed them slightly, to feel a bit more natural (atleast they do to me, thank you for pointing it out!). The first lead being the clarinet might as well be a personal taste, I'll try out a bit of different things. :) Thanks for the thorough review! ^^
