DelitescentAria's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Deceiving Death]

The "lotsofstuffhappening" is very well placed. There is a lot going on in this song, which isn't bad if you do it correctly, which you totally did. I'll get more in depth.

You have a nice melody to begin with, although it does sound a bit chaotic at first, the ear gets accustomed fast. It flows well and no notes get above each other in an annoying way.

You have a very solid kick and snare. The hi-hat is barely audible at some points so watch out for that. Although it's not the center of the drums, it's always nice to hear it.

Your dubstep is good even if a bit short. For a track labeled dubstep it seems to not have so much of it. Perhaps its just me.

Last point, it's impressive how you obtained such a variety of sounds with naught but 2 plugins.

So overall, it's pretty good! Maybe work on ordering stuff early on so it doesn't confuse but other than that, I have nothing.

Cheers ^-^

BlastBeats responds:

Lots of stuff with little synths. Having multiple synths makes no sense if you can do the same things with them. I want to know sound design before I get into the whole "this synth can do what others can't".

Good point you have there with the hi hats. I tend to focus so much on the bass that the highs get neglected a bit. Hence my mix is rather unusually stuffed as well.

In what genre do you place a track, which doesn't fit into a genre? I mean, it is mainly DnB, but also not, because 152bpm is too slow for DnB. It is Drumstep, but also not, because it's not half time. It's dubstep, but only for a short time. I went for Dubstep, because it's close to Drumstep. I didn't want to dissappoint the DnB listeners who suddenly got bass madness in their face.

Yeah... I need to order my stuff. But I'm lazy :D. I found 28 hours of work taking too long already. *says the guy who made his first song this year in 3 hours*

Anyway, thanks for the review. It's useful and I appreciate that! Glad you like it :D

The bassline in this is just so... mesmerizing...
I literally can't get over that bassline.
Congratulations on that bassline.
And the melody too.
But mostly the bassline.

You know what this would be great for? A video game like FEZ. You know, where ambiance is everything?

So I have very few complaints about the song by itself. It's really good. I'm not too much into ambient myself but I enjoyed this.

Only little thing; in the first part of the song, even if it was to let the reverb ring, I think some sounds could've started earlier. Sometimes the pause between two sounds was a little long. Other than that, amazing ambiance feel. Great job on this one.

Cheers ^-^
