Soverney's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Moonlchan - Rainy Jungle]

Love the instruments used in this track, definitely very chill. I would only say that it perhaps gets a bit too repetitive. I would have loved some filter automation, perhaps little ear candy at random parts, stuff like that :)

Moonlchan responds:

Gonna make this more often so I can work on it im trying to get better everytime :)

[Moonlchan - Frozen Days]

I quite like it, good job! :)

Moonlchan responds:

Thank you :)

[Too Soon - NGADM Round 1!]

Damn I am really vibing with this track. I really love the vocals and all of the percussion elements. Maybe it is just me, but I felt like the whole track (expect maybe the end) was just missing like one more instrument or maybe just some more backgrounds effects. Still, really cool track :)

GameBoyFireworks responds:

Thank you for the feedback!

[Yea]

Definitely a very fun track. Maybe it's just me, but a lot of the parts seemed a bit too "boomy" for my liking, I would have focused a bit more on the high end at for example the 0:21 section. That doesn't really seem to be a problem once the synth is fully introduced of course. Good luck in the NGADM, I am your fellow competitor. It's gonna be hard to make something better for sure :)

ZaneLittle responds:

I appreciate the feedback and I look forward to hearing the awesome tunes you come up with!

[4mplitude - Fight!]

This track is pretty damn fun and has quite a unique atmosphere. I do like a lot of the parts here, but my main problem with them would be the repetitiveness. For the off sections and especially for the part between the second and third drop it felt a bit boring to listen to and that is because there wasn't many sounds changing, yes there was a background pluck introduced and some faster drums pulled, but it wasn't enough to change the pace of the part, considering that we already heard it in the beginning. I did want something a bit more out of the build ups, perhaps just an extra riser to build the tension more. I did like the first and last drop, they felt pretty good, just wished that perhaps there was a slight switch in the bass sound or an extra one added in the second one because it feels a bit like a B section of the first drop than a completely different part, which is not always bad of course, it is just my preference. Overall, pretty fun track with some flaws, I just love the idea too much.

4mplitudeMusic responds:

Definitely get you my dude, still learning my arrangements and how to keep tracks interesting, but i really appreciate your feedback nonetheless, glad you liked the idea! :D

[the meme fbis cryst4a11iz3d adventure through the atm0sph3r3]

Definitely has some good stuff in it, lots of Camellia vibes. Main problem would be the low end, there is too much focus on the high end so the drops don't feel as impactful as they could be. It's definitely not by a wide margin, try listening to something similar like the second drop of exit this earth's atomosphere and master the low end based on that. Still, I quite like a lot of the ideas in this.

[4mplitude & Soverney - Tumult (4mplitude VIP)]

This definitely has better and more interesting ideas than the original for sure, especially the drops feel better. I feel like the biggest problem for all of your songs is the low end, like you are really not going in as much as you should. The drops aren't as impactful and feel more empty without the huge sub basses following the main basses. They are quite tricky to balance, even if it looks like it is the same volume as the rest of the frequencies, it will still feel quiet just because of our big brain hearing. I don't hear this problem that much in the second drop and it's probably why it's my favourite part of the song.

[the meme fbi's angelic comeback]

Damn this has some interesting stuff behind it, even if it does feel a bit repetitive. You got a lot of potential.

thank you sovern

[4mplitude - Rise]

After listening to it a few times, I think that it's your best work yet.
The start is probably one of my favourite parts, it's very chill, has a good melody and some nice ambient sounds.
At 0:44 it feels like the clap-snare is a bit too loud, I would have preferred it maybe a bit filtered out with some small reverb.
The build up is quite weak at the start, it feels like something is missing, some sort of riser. If you wanted it to be weak at the start and then ramp it up, I feel like the kick should have been filtered out.
The drop definitely has your best chords you have made so far. Pretty solid overall, could still be improved of course. It felt like it missed more fun elements, like tiny percussion, more automation and background instruments that would appear just once or twice for a second during the drop.
Second part feels quite repetitive, I noticed some side elements that were added, but nothing major.
Overall it's not too bad, a bit repetitive, but your best work so far.

[Devin Martin - Killbot (Demolisher Remix) (clip)]

I don't mind the whole chaotic drop idea, it could fit very well with the OG Killbot, but it feels like there is not a lot of high end to it, so it sounds muffled (maybe something with the mastering?). Add some of that and I think this will be golden.
