Zazzy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Constant Struggle]

Please, please please please please PLEASE turn things down. You can't fix anything else until your volume is under control.

[Moon Theme - Ducktales]

Building off of lowskillzgd's review, the only hiccups I can see is that the arpeggio-ing synth is often lost in the mix.

[Bar Music (Attempt 2)]

I agree with @ninjamuffin99 on many fronts, it sounds like a bunch of different ideas for songs all crammed into one audio file and performed the same way.

Keep this file around, and pull out pieces of it to use on other projects.

Belthagor responds:

I was thinking of using some parts as samples for other songs. Thanks for your review!

[Barclay's Song]

This should really go in another category! Nothing about t his really screams "hip hop" in any sort: it's a piano piece.

Towards the end of the song there seems to be a lot of either messy playing or messy mapping. I think your intention was to make an effect using between intervals of your scale, but it just sounds super messy. If you're doing something weird with music, it has to sound intentional or else it seems like a mistake. Try emphasizing the weird notes by having nothing else play as the lead up to whatever note you're going to hit.

Belthagor responds:

I should have explained... the song uses mostly white keys on the piano, so I thought if I move the base notes one note forward on matching downward octaves it would transform the entire song. IDK how I did, honestly. I followed the most well known Chord Progression for Hip Hop Songs, so I'm not sure why you'd say it doesn't sound like Hip Hop, at least the first half of the song before the repeat with lower sounding notes. Anyway, I'm not a really great musician and have room to improve, so thanks for your review!

See sixth post here where I discuss more about the song, along with a screenshot of some notes in it: https://www.newgrounds.com/bbs/topic/1436735

[Lancer Vs Himself - Deltarune Metal Remix]

Just like the last one, overall it's pretty good. It's got the punch, good playing, etc. The only problem is it sounds a little papery and thin. Put a little more oomph into your kick on the low end, and turn up your bass so you can hear it in the mix, it almost sounds like it isn't there.

[Bonetrousle - Undertale Metal Remix]

It's been done before, and done better, but generally this is pretty good. The EQing is a little flat and papery for my taste, but it's definitely not offensive.

[Bridal Foetus WIP]

This honestly sounds like white noise. Turn down the gain! You don't need lots of gain to get a heavy sound. A heavy sound is more about what you play and how you play it more than distortion.

[Trumpet Man]

Prety good, but I feel it would fit better in an easy listening genre. Replace the drums with more airy samples, and give the instruments besides the trumpet some attack and verb, and it would be really nice.

[Drac and Friends Pt.2 (cover)]

The playing is pretty good, but the song could benefit from the reverb being toned down a little.

[2 bulc ortcele]

This is someone else's song played backwards.
