squiral's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Captive in Darkness]

That made me smile! Nothing this decent in the just posted section any more! Smooth playing, greatly mixed everything. Only possible problem is the vocals high EQ's were a bit hissy. Apart from that. Nice! 4.5/5.

larrynachos responds:

I agree, the vocals were a bit eckh, but I mixed it on a special computer, so they sounded fine there. Thanks for the review!

[Starfall]

A truly beautiful piece. I replayed the piano solo at the beginning, but I could not hear any obvious clipping. I agree the Mixing isn't all there, but nothing an hour and a half can't fix. I must admit that bass you have going on there sounds so good, just too wide! And I'm not sure about that tone of guitar. I think the set up was slightly out. But like you said the composition is sound, just need to polish the track up a little. 4/5 - Keep up the out standing work!

BlazingDragon responds:

Yeah, choosing a guitar tone was giving me a massive headache. Especially since I have no experience with guitar! I'll work some more at that. :)

Thanks for the helpful review!

[Ghost Town]

I feel your voice is heavily tuned? Also your Hi EQ's are a bit over boosted. Either all of that or I am just jealous at the fact you are a better singer than me ;) Nice tune over all.

etherealwinds responds:

There's no Autotune at all, just reverb, a sound gate and EQ ^^ I'm still not sure why some people think my voice has been autotuned, it gets a bit frustrating :p

Thank you though!

[SNES Beavis & Butthead]

Very decent playing indeed, only problem is those drums my friend!

GoreBastard responds:

Cheers mate. I totally agree. The drums are total shite!
I've gotten a new PC since recording this, with a copy of EZ Drummer, but I've not done any recording with it yet.

Thanks for checking it out!

[Out of Luck]

Great feel my friend! Sounds like it could defiantly be an intro to a movie or something :) Only one query, it's awful but I don't like the sound of that snare when it first comes in, needs more ping to it :)

Tearelle responds:

Thank you very much. :D It's okay, I think that's a pretty justificated reason. Thank you so much for the feedback, I'll see what i can do in future songs :)

[Happy New Djent]

I loved your mixing on this, you might need to however make sure you don't turn the middle up on the EQ'ing after math (after recording) as it is over muffling the sound and causing it to peak the speakers and makes the tone sound too bass crowded. The drums were EQ'ed nicely, the kick drum popped out and sounded good, the sound of that snare was also pleasing to my ears :) As for the layout, it was all placed nicely :) the length was also nice, but I actually would've liked to heard more of the song; maybe add a beat down section with a complete bridge change after? Over all Bloody brilliant piece of audio! I'd like to hear more :)

adilovemetal responds:

thanks Nick :)
I will make this into a full length song, with vocals.. atleast i will try :P
thanks again \m/

[The Stink]

EzDrummer! Good tune, nice playing solid recordings. HOWEVER. There is some massive amounts of EQ'ing that needs to be done. And you NEED bass. You have good potential!

JoNoGo responds:

Yeah EZ unfortunately I can't play drums where i'm renting at the mo. Really glad you liked it. Im trying to add more bass esp in the new tracks. Thanks for the review

[Zombies Everywhere!]

Solid playing, and our EQ'ing was done so well! Jealous of the sound you can produce!!!! This song was really well produced, and the breakdown into the next loop was done with ease and great smoothness! I liked listening to it! If you have the time you should check some of my stuff :) Its lighter Metal/Grunge/Punk/Thrash aha xD Maybe we could do a collaboration? :P I only have one query, why is the genre for this "Indie"? xD

FylypFimpossible responds:

Thanks! ;) I will check. There is hard to select genre, this isn't classic rock, general rock, grunge, punk. Maybe in small part heavy metal, why there aren't trash category ? :D So I choosed indie.
Maybe we can try collaboration ;)

[The Worst Burrito Ever!]

Was really accurate aha! But I felt that at some points your voice was slightly hinting towards a bit British :/ Apart from that, it was really accurate and believable! :D

Shock-Dingo responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Much appreciated! Oop, yea, I gotta watch the pronunciation at times when I do that voice. I'll watch out for the next time. :)

[Drum Fest]

Its just a bunch of noise to me, sorry. You should work on your layout. The drums are all over the place. And I didn't hear any bass?

Wayv responds:

Read description please!
Yeah, it's not that well layered. idk about a bunch of noise, but thanks for the review anyway.
