TeKNeTiC's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crakle - Carte Blanche (RMX)]

Pretty good.

I'll get right into the constructive criticism.
Levels and mixing need a lot of work, as well as EQing and such. Certain parts sound overly muddy, such as some parts where the pads overpower. Filter sweep on the drums in the buildup does not sound very good (specifically the clap/snare), maybe something more original would work better.

4/5

Crakle responds:

Thanks ill keep that in mind when i work back on this

[Still Alive (RadNarc'd)]

Pretty Good

I like it, however it is EXTREMELY quiet in comparison to pretty much everything else.

[Let You Know (Preview)]

Great work.

All of your work is so professional, its a wonder you still aren't signed. One of the few songs on Newgrounds that I don't really hear a problem in.

5/5

LoL I'm taking my time, getting a portfolio of tracks. Then I'll feel more comfortable making stuff on-demand. :]

Thanks!

[The Progressive wip]

Good work.

Drums were done quite well, nothing was really overpowering. The chord progression was quite catchy too. Mastering sounded almost professional, and the sidechaining was done well (although possibly a bit too much; the whole thing sounded sidechained).

One thing was that it was a bit slow (120bpm is quite slow for trance), although it seemed to suit the song or something. I agree with the person below, it was quite repetitive despite it being progressive.

5/5

PS check out my newest one, you might like it.

DJ-xTc responds:

the only thing sidechained was the deadmau5 synth i had, it was originaly ment to be a house track but the chords i made made very hard for me to not make it trance. its a wip for now so thats y its repetative.

[exploration of the universe]

Ahh Nexus presets..

Relatively good mix and leads. One thing is that the main arp thing sounds far too much like a preset and is very repetitive, but still sounds good. Percussion is not punchy enough at all.

riptide11 responds:

trance is all about repetition. drums didn't come through in this but do in the full version. i really appreciate the review though

[~NK~ "Aint No Sunshine" RMX]

Clipping!

Great work on the remixing side, and the piano sounds pretty good. However, the part at 0:16 clips like crazy. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but it did NOT sound good.

4/5
