Ziondiac's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[WorldAnvil - NGUAC Final]

Honestly would love to see you go in a completely different orchestral direction with something more slow and less percussive.

Santi-Montali responds:

Yeah me too lol, but I do have different music tho. This one was conceived like it is so I wasn't going to radically change to a happy song in between I guess

[Reditus Solis]

Mix feels a bit rough around the edges.

NemesisTheory responds:

Did you listen to it at MAX VOLUME?
Never fails! 🤘😋

[Eliminate]

Damn those are some spicy chords. Stereo bass is definitely an interesting choice.

JoeStasi responds:

Thank you I put a lot of thought into the chords so I'm glad you enjoyed them. I feel like I hear the same saw stereo bass in so many songs but perhaps I should make all the low frequencies 100% mono in the master as opposed to about 80% mono which is what I used in this track I think

[long exposure]

Love the sounds on this. It does feel a bit too loud for the vibe it's trying to go for though. Where did you get the sounds for this track?

Samuel-Mossa responds:

drum samples from splice, everything else is my own sound design

[downpour]

Sounds like dark sky mixed with her wings. Like the new liquid feel you're going for. It does feel like the track lacks a sense of progression of where things are going to go though.

Samuel-Mossa responds:

this was sorta my "trial run" of a new style so I wasn't too focused on the arrangement, but I agree it is sorta random

[Asleep Atop An Atom]

Can we appreciate the fact that this absolute legend is still replying to reviews left on a track that's 9 years old.

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

A part of my brain reeeeally wanted to never respond to this here comment. :P

[breathe, you madman]

This is more ambient than pop.

Bitbeak responds:

Thought the beat was a little fast to call it ambient, but I'll concede it's debatable ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Thanks for listening!

[dark sky (2nd edit)]

Really like this track! How did you make the drums? I've been trying to get that sound and it's been stumping me for a while.

Samuel-Mossa responds:

There are done with multiple samples and loops put together and processed with compression, eq, etc. Also the limiter on the master has a really fast release in order to make the drums hit harder.

[The Darkness]

This just sounds like a super dirty really long breakdown lmao. I ain't feeling the edge m8

Quarl responds:

I guess I'll just have to make it even edgier next time.

[Vista Sounds - Take]

How did you make the sounds for this?

Vista-Sound13 responds:

I didn't make the sounds (except the pencil sound effect), I put a degraded effect on the master track to get that GBA-ish feel.

Also, I hope you liked this track, buddy. :)
