Vj's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Flying Through Open Skys]

jungle is massiv.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

*hearts* teh jungle <:3


Thanks for the 5!

[Mad Retro Oldschool Jungle Music For Seniors]

Needs more amen break 👀

Quarl responds:

I said jungle music for seniors, not corpses. Amen break is essentially ragtime music now.

[dance with it]

I friggin love this. It's got the chocago ghetto house vibe. That bass drum is just perfect, no other low-end accompaniment needed.

luce responds:

thank you lots man,
i actually listen to a lot of your music on soundcloud and youtube
so it's really awesome to have you listening to one of my tracks!

[One Original]

This is so good. It's nice to hear other jungle producers on newgrounds. The genre has been on the rise recently and this is one quality tune you put out here.

Libby-Shimmz responds:

Thank you so much!

[Zilla (short edit.)]

Gwan! Got them Ray Keith Vibes

TRVSTA responds:

Yeet nice thanks!

[Reformat & Erase]

Got that dub vibe with those lofi samples in the beginning. Is it supposed to sound like 3 songs in one?

cthrn responds:

Yeah, its supposed to sound like 3 songs in one, its progressive!

[ROTTERDAM de CHOCOBO]

Ah yess, gabber music. Definitely sounds like Rotterdam and Breda but needs more 909 and less sample I feel. Listen to like any thunderdome compilation and you'll know what I mean.

megawolf77 responds:

Thanks! Actually, I'm inspired by modern Japanese style of Rotterdam Gabber. Thanks for the input!

[Neutron Star]

I've used caustic a few times before switching to ableton and mastering on that thing is like magic. One of the songs I've submitted for NGADM got a perfect score for mastering while I was using it. But anyway, There's too much bass and it's washing out the main melody that you're going for here. I almost couldn't tell that this piece was in 3/4. The phrasing is more similar to how you would in 4/4. Not every part needs to be moving, especially the bass. It's supposed to support the melody so mainly stick to roots, 3rds, and 5ths so it doesn't sound like baroque music with a drum machine. Definetly needs more work with the mastering and the phrasing. I know caustic has that new thing where you can lock the key but try moving scale degrees within the key.
That's all I have to sayy byeee

Mik3l24 responds:

Well, it's actually in 6/4...
To be honest, I have no idea what am I doing. I have barely any knowledge of music theory, and not enough patience, experience and proper equipment to do decent mixing and mastering. I just kinda mess around with synths and melodies. I've also noticed, that the song is a bit cluttered with the bass, but didn't really know how to fix that without making it sound "too quiet" for me.

Still, thanks for the comment, constructive criticism should be appreciated.

[RAGE]

Needs some work with the mixdown. There's like no mids when the bass patch kicks in and when all of the other tracks come along, they get buried. The Amen Break can be implemented more into the overall sound with maybe some distortion or eq effect. Just listen to some old jungle music to get a basic understanding of amen break interpretation. The hi hat is way too loud and the snare barley hits so what's up with that? overall it's a good concept but it needs to be executed better.

rooldout responds:

Thank you for the suggestion!

[Stuck]

Damn, I could do a Bad Company/Dillinja mix with this. I feel like it needs more sub if any. Just extend it for a little longer so people can properly mix with this track.

FwWFW responds:

Oof sorry. I deleted this project.
