Telaris's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mirage Blade]

Didn't expect to see this frontpaged so quickly.

Also, good job on 5/4 DnB that sounds so smooth. I normally don't change time signature's because it just throws the Whole track off, but you did an amazing job, especially with the big Orchestral part that I love about all your songs.

Edit: Hold up, is that a Condom Harmor filter I hear in the breakdown

3YEOfficial responds:

thank you! Fun fact, there are no orchestral instruments in this track. Also fun fact; I don’t use Harmor lol.

Also, wanna buy a used toothbrush?

[Vortonox - Intermission (TimeShocked Remix)]

Needs a heavy Kick and Snare, Bass, and Sub dude...

Oh and those highs in the Wobble, take em Out!

TimeShockGD responds:

Thanks for the feed back!

[Derpcat - Seventh Dimension]

Late as hell but whatever...

This is one of your most unique tracks to date, like Melodic Orchestral Dubstep mixed with epic alternative madness...

It's pretty outdated for todays standards when it comes mixing, but whatever.

I love this (IDK why I never found this before)… great job to old Derpcat

Heyy, what about a VIP of this song?!

DerpcatOfficial responds:

thansk! i actually will make a sequel!

entropicvoxels responds:

[Lemuria]

Ohhh yeahhh

This song
Good job, I love the composition.

The original is so bad lol

Tennon responds:

Yeah the original was done when I was 14 so its supposed to be bad. Btw love the hentai profile pic lol

TBH the guy below me is right, this song is EXTREMLY boring, sorry dude...

Honestly, where do I even start...

The drums are extremely over compressed, they take up most of the volume of the song, which is never a good thing. The synths are too quiet, I can barely hear them over the drums.

This is also very repetitive. People generally get tired of something after hearing it 5-8 times, add more parts to your songs structure. It will help a LOT.

In my opinion, every song needs to tell some kind of story. Even if that isn't your intent. It needs a story because the songs that don't have one are... well... boring. Vocals help a LOT, but if you cant use them then try and uses song structure. Like I previously talked about.

The transitions are rough and more FX are needed, you seem to already understand transitions pretty well though... So I wont get into that much.

Lastly, I just wanted to point out that you are being just as toxic and defensive as the guy below, and he is PRETTY fuckin toxic. Music producing requires self control and experience (of which you will gain overtime). Use your self control and don't get into fights like I did. It will make people HATE you as they hate me.

Hope this helped you a bit...

Turret1234 responds:

I'm not going to get hateful/defensive on this one, that other guy was very very bitter, and didn't even attempt to give a fair rating. Your review actually has depth to it unlike his, that's why I got defensive.

I wasn't really going for a super storied vibe for this song, I'm heavily inspired by artists which generally are repetitive, which can be seen as boring. I still think it's a problem that my music is repetitive.

I also generally don't like using FX, maybe I should use FX more often, I'll take it into consideration.

The synths are kinda quiet looking back, but I need to generally fix up my mixing, this is my best mixing as of now but I need to work on pretty much everything.

I also don't exactly know what you mean by "story." I've tried different, less conventional structures before, and even this has a pretty unconventional structure. But it mostly ends up turning pretty bad.

Thanks for the tips though, will keep them in mind in the future!

[Flaaroni - Tractor Beam]

Pretty good (Especially considering Future Bounce is down very low on my genre list, then again, its not nearly as bad as Riddim Dubstep)

I do have some feedback for you because that's just what producers do. The synths and basses could use some more reverb (you don't need a fancy plugin to so reverb, fruity reverb 2 works just fine) and delay. Don't be afraid to use more reverb than what is already in this track. Delay would be nice too.

I personally think you took to much of the Sub out. Every track needs some sub, I used to always forget the sub, don't be like me. Electronic music is difficult because you need to know the right amount of lows and highs to take out. I haven't quite figured that out either yet.

The songs volume is fairly constant for the most part, I do strongly believe it could be louder (Mabey raise the volume of those synths 13-15 decibels).

In general, this song is REALLY empty, it needs some chords and arps. I recommend listening to other artists works, basically take notes. This trick has REALLY helped me.

Don't worry about making mistakes, I was full of them. I'm still recovering from multiple errors I made in previous tracks. Its ok. You will make stupid decisions.

Lastly, I wanted to Introduce you to the concept of storytelling. In my opinion, a successful track tells a story throughout the track. What I'm hearing in this song is all about partying, this is the big reason electronic producers get so much hate. Haters claim they don't have a meaning behind them, that's not true for everyone. Some people like music that doesn't tell a story. But I recommend it. It will double impress your fans.

If you read this than thank you for taking your time. I hope this helped you even the slightest bit.

Edit: I just posted this and I can already see the toxic hate the GD community will give me.

Flaaroni responds:

Thanks for the feedback :) I'll definitely take the mixing advice into account. I will say that my intention for the track wasn't to tell a story, but that's something I need to work on nevertheless. And I definitely agree with the track, the intro especially, being empty. I tried to go for detail on the drop, but I definitely rushed the intro.

[[NGADM 2019] ẄL - Circuit Realm]

Tbh you need heavier snares my dude. That melodic dubstep part is pretty empty without that. The Electro House part is really good tho

SUNSCREECH responds:

Yeah i've been told this track was feeling too empty before lol
Thanks for your opinion though, I'll definitely consider it

[Bermuda VIP preview]

This is wayyy better than the original song already.

The mixing is actually OK, I have heard worse mixing of my own

Everything else is pretty good, the drop could use some arps and soft piano chords to fill the empty space (like all Dubstep drops)

Tennon responds:

Yeah your suggestion is pretty similar to 3YE, i would definitely season up my drop with additional melody arps and shit. But I don’t wish that my songs sound generic, I will make something special lol!

[AlieN - Lost (Melodic Mid-Tempo)]

Ok first off. I really don’t know the difference between Midtempo and Moombahcore so this may be a bit biased

Overall this is great. The first drop was cool but anticlimactic. The basses could use some compression. The composition is done really well (Why the hell am I talking about composition. I’m not 3ye). The second drop was OK. The drums actually could use some compression as well. But yeah, the modulation on the last bass in the second drop is insane. And you’ve definitely nailed the sound design.

In conclusion, a very good first attempt at Midtempo/ Moombahcore?. But still could use some work

AlienNinjaGD responds:

Thanks!
