ZacTaylorTunes's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Big Puzzle Inspired Backing Track]

Kick and snare need a bit more body for my taste. But this is really nice 👌

[Cyr3al - Contagion]

All the things you did well in the other songs (I'm going recent release to older) is here. But in this one the drums I mentioned before being a tad too loud are far too loud here. It takes away from your mix and song which is a crying shame because what you've got here is great! (Not that my mixes are velvety smooth either) my suggestion would be to bus and compress (season with some reverb) your drum track (all your tracks) and just drop the volume a bit. Would bring out all the instruments nicely!

[Cyr3al - Pelagic]

Loving that I'm taking this deep dive. You gotta tell me what synth settings your using on that lead. I love it!

[Cyr3al - Axiom]

I dunno why but the keys remind of a section of Hollywood Whore by Papa Roach.

Little mix note, if you cut out all the uneccassary frequencies from this it'd really shine even more the brighter! Fucking love that stretch around 3:00 with the volume swell on those guitars. 👐

[Cyr3al - Under the Crescent Moon]

Definitley gonna be working my way through the rest you posted from this. My only real issue (very small) is that i find the snare and kick a tad loud. I love the melody, it's like a somber, melancholy ballad. Super strong point at the end with keys and glockenspiel. Keep fuckin rocking dude!

[Over Nothing]

The synth fucking pulled me in buddy. Awesome mix too, personally would have give the snare and kick the teensiest bit more body but that's my own taste. This rocks 🎸

Petrol4brains responds:

Thanks!! That synth patch was definitely difficult to work with due to it's overall randomness but I tried taming it enough to work!

[Apiplėšimas]

Cool vibe! But there are some mix issues, I hear what you're going for. But you could stand to lose some low end frequencies. The bass could use a little more balance and eq. But all in all I like it. Could see it playing over a movies intro credits or something!

RedAndrew responds:

Thanks man and yeah I know what you mean. This is some old audio me and my friend made and it was just kinda sitting in my folder collecting dust so I figured to upload it even though the mixing isn't all that good. But yeah I get what you mean and will try to get the future stuff sounding better!

[Palanga]

I can't surf or skate but I fux with this 😎

RedAndrew responds:

Surf or die!

[We're on a Mission from God, We're Getting the Band Back Together]

I wasn't one hundred percent how to rate this right off the bat to be honest. I like what I hear but the mix is very loud, at first it was too much but the longer I listen tje more I get so fucking into the vibe you created. I as time rolls on (I'm at 11:35) I find myself getting more and more into the chaotic discordant feel that the loudness actually creates. This is super creative, and it's really cool that you uploaded a thirty minute track. Hats off my man! I think I learned a thing or two listening to this! All in all it's very compelling and it remains interesting and dynamic without the aid of a vocal track. Doesn't get much better.

VibrantMan responds:

Thank you, I really appreciate your feedback!

If you want to continue listening to bands similar to this song continue on towards 'Neurosis', and then move on towards 'God Speed You! Black Emperor'
