ZacTaylorTunes's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Melancholic Truth (Ft. Marie Ork)]

I always love that kinda "bitcrusher" sound. I really enjoy the chord progression, particularly at around 1:15 to that fill at around 1:39. Very smooth

LexRodent responds:

Thanks for listening man.
Bitcrushed overdrive goes hand in hand with chiptune-like synths.
Glad to know it as the right choice to give this one a lo-fi touch.

[The Guardian of the Stars]

Really awesome. I'd parrot another reviewer and say I find the guitar is a hair loud in a couple places. But still, fits very well with everything else you've done. Love that electronic riff that hits right before 30 seconds in

DESHIEL responds:

I adjusted things following the other review. Should be better now.

[Misery Muse]

Reminds of Soundgarden at times. Awesome as usual. Love the mix.

LexRodent responds:

Thanks a lot man !

[All That Was (2018)]

Really nice stuff. Very nice touch with all the strings and keys in paticular create a great ambience. Everything in here really does a great job of "serving the song" as it were. Phenomenal.

JaySMerritt responds:

thank you

[The Fate Of A Nobody (2018)]

Very nice music to chill too. Love the melodies and the strings!

JaySMerritt responds:

thank you very much!

[SHOW ME YOUR PAWS | LONE WOLF EP]

Love this my man. Very impressive. The beat, instruments, your flow. Really great. A great sound going on here. Kind of like DMX's voice with Bruno Mars's music. Fav'd for sure.

BlackLynk responds:

I appreciate it, DMX spirit went into them lyrics

[Zoftle - Halloween's Fright (Feat. Amanda F.)]

This is really sick

Zoftle responds:

Ayyy thank you! I really appreciate it :D

[Tanya, the Dragon Naginata]

This is grimy as all hell

(Grimy is good)

awardwinninggardens responds:

Thank you kindly!

[Hard Times]

I see where you're going here. But when working with midi it needs a little help. Theres a nice balance and the bass has a nice boom to it. But the guitars kind of give it a discordant feel that doesn't mesh with the vocald very well. Little tip, cuts at about 4k do wonders for all types of guitar, but especially midi. As the for vocals. They don't mesh too well. But you DO an excellent job of painting a picture here with sound. Keep working! I see really good ideas here. Just gotta take the time to refine them now!

PerKGrok responds:

Thanks. I truly appreciate your comments and advice.
I'm really flying by the seat of my pants here and I should probably look into the possibility of using tools with more knobs for the mixing part as I go along. Hopefully I'll get better with the experience of more songs.
:)

[HRiMF - Cognitive Dissonance]

Great composition! My only critique is that I feel some of the instruments could use a little low end! Awesome work!

Paint2Acetone responds:

I agree. I kinda rushed this song out so I could’ve done the mastering better, and an issue I often feel with my songs is that they feel rather empty.
