SpeTheof's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[laying in the backseat, staring at the ever-shifting stars]

Very melodic stuff, I would prefer it with some drums but I guess it would have kinda ruined the emotion you wanted to give us, this is actually pretty good, reminds me of some old "Vangelis" tracks (One of my Country's most popular electronic producer and masterpiece maker, see Chariots of Fire and Conquest of Paradise)

lofiskyline15 responds:

thanks a ton dude!! I actually tried adding drums right before finishing it but it kinda messed with the atmosphere haha; it definitely could sound cool in the right context though.

thanks for the input!

Nice try I guess, you could try relaxing the sounds a bit it sounds a little distorted, maybe consume more time mixing it rather than putting more and more stuff, to learn to create some cool stuff start doing little instruments and cleaner sound rather than many instruments and distorted stuff. Lots of variety and effort on the harmony though, well played, Followed and 5/5, I am awaiting more from you!

Packtion responds:

You're 100% correct in saying that I need to work on mixing. I'm currently looking for a well-balanced headset, which is a lot harder than it looks because 95% of the time it has "- BASS BOOSTED FOR EXTRA ENJOYMENT" as a feature.

A lot of my music uses a lot of distorted instruments, but I don't think a lot of them clashed well in this song. Particularly the NES instrument one, that uses a slightly different "temperament" than the other ones.

This song used to just be 4:04 - 5:54 and I wanted a build up to it. Then it ended up being 6 minutes long. I'm glad you liked it though, and thanks for following me!

[PancakePocket - Blast-Off]

No Sidechain and Lack of Offbeat bass, fix those on your next songs and they will be dope

PancakePocket responds:

Ok! Thanks for the tips!!

[PancakePocket - The Way [Dance]]

Reminds me some old school kind of techno beat, i don't remember it's name, also probably close to "Fucking Fresh" by "Pimp! Code" - Takes me back

0:00 - 1:30
Pumpy start, the trumpet sound starts very quickly, an automation could help here, i would probably prefer to see something like slowly fading, an intro is all about making the listener an easy to listen melody, chilling, slowly advancing to the beat, the 2nd voice/trumpet is filling in things and I like it though, I would remove the offbeat bass completely for the intro and add chords instead, but I guess that's kind of an option you could make and preference.

The beat starts alright, I would love to see a more powerful kick, you could achieve that with a simple sidechain on the main melody and by making the melody a small cut before the note ends, (decrease every note size by a little)

1:30
Sounds very good from there, if you applied the things i said it would be more dope, still is, melodic wisely it's a very good song

2:35 - END
Now that would be very good for the intro, but I Guess u created another intro there :D let's see if you have something new to introduce.
Nope, never mind, nothing new to introduce, you could alter the melodies a bit here and introduce new sounds (Change the trumpet sound to something else, or at least change the chord progression, or make the beat 3/4 instead of 4/4). Well I guess it's not bad that you used it again, I do it too many times, it's repetitiveness that makes the melody stuck in the head anyway, We should both start to avoid that in the future though haha...

Overall, I think you are pretty close to the music I create (old Dance, eurodance, hands up, etc.) And if you need any help I would be glad to help you, just send me a message! Downsides on this track is the lack of sidechain, the non pumpy kick, i wanted the offbeat bass more pure and pumpy, the repetitiveness of the melodies makes it a little boring after a little, but it was a great song and the melody patterns are very good and can easily stuck in your head.

Keep it up, I hope you will take any advice seriously and start doing better, Have FUN!

PancakePocket responds:

This is probably the best review I ever got XD. Thanks for the help, I will try to improve my next song with your tips!

[SpeTheof - Warzone (MistonMusic Remix)]

Nice try, i guess, your sweeps should have been more reverbed and in place, many empty spots and room for improvement, nice changes though u altered some melodies a bit and I still liked it ^_^ well played

Miston responds:

Any time.
