eppskevin's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shift]

Basically everything that @Quarl said. Groovy meldoy with this. The only thing that jumps out at me is the mix. For some reason it sound like it could be clipping at times, but it may just be my speakers. But, other than that, great job!

[Alpine]

I honestly don't think I could add to what others have already said except for the fact that the mix on this track is very nice.

BlazingDragon responds:

Thank you very much! The funny thing is that I knew next to nothing about mixing when I made this. I mean, it's pretty simple mixing...Some pan, a little verb, and made sure nothing popped out (except perhaps the bass and that silly cymbal). There was no EQ work whatsoever, or compression, or mastering. I guess it just happened to turn out nice. x_x

But now that it has been a whole year since the competition, I can reveal my former incompetencies. XD

[In Remembrance]

The part at 2:24 really captured the slow motion moment of you witnessing the actual heart attack during the game. Then the death, you coming to grips with it, and despair. You then start to heal from these deep wounds. to realize that life is worth living, in honor of them. That's what I felt through this. This was a great piece, here, indeed.

BlazingDragon responds:

"To realize that life is worth living, in honor of them. That's what I felt through this."

I'm glad you wrote that. It's tough losing someone, but I do indeed believe that life is worth living, in part to honor them. Thank you for your review. :)

[Jazzy thing]

I'll let you know if I think of a title. I think this composition is great for MIDI. The mix is pretty nice on this as well. Great job on this!

BlazingDragon responds:

Thank you! That class was great and helped my mixing improve quite a bit.

[She Loves [Remix]]

TOTALLY diggin this melody!! I definitely get the whole closing credits feel from this. I like it a lot. How would you say that your mixing skills are? Love that part around 1:50 too. Nice breakdown.

LemonCrush responds:

My mixing skills...not so good. LOL. It's kind of hit an miss for me...Sometimes I can miss pretty well, imo, but other times probably not so good. I just kind of mix with the intent of making sure all instruments sounds in the right spot, as oppose to trying to make it sound radio quality.

[High (Lemon Crush Vrshn)]

I think the guitar mix is wonderful, the only part that I think could be better are the drums. They sound like the stock drums from FL. I don't know if you wanted us to focus more on the guitar or not, but I think if you had some better quality drums, this would be so much better. I have a drum package that has all kinds of drums sounds from 60's garage drums to modern 808's. It's around 3GB, though. Let me know if you would like them, and we can figure out a way to get them to you.

[Kami | Pontoon Thumper]

What up, Kami! You got me at those drums. Just a nice smooth vibe. Dope indeed, man!

[zub 3 buz]

Man these loops, man! :D

[Oaker]

One day, I want to collab with you, taking this loops and making a composition out of these, man. I hope you'd be down for that. I have a LOT of projects going on right now, so definitely next year, man. I hope you're down for that!

[Other Self]

Pretty nice for trance, man. I'm liking your mix on this as well. Very nice usage of sounds in this, definitely!
