Uxvellda's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Makuta & Derpcat - Dimension Eleven]

Nice work dude! But I believe, I have heard this song already... Oh, I knew it! It is from 200K subs of Daniel! BTW, are interested in a collab? PM if you want to, I can help you have a better wonderful music production! You can check my Newgrounds account to know more about me... *i am also an xtrullor successor, just like derpcat ;)

MakutaMiner responds:

Sure, I'd be up for a collab! Also... I'm not quite sure who Daniel is, so idk what you mean lol

[{dj-N} I Can't Believe It's Not Riddim!]

Nice one Nathan! Another start for brutality and epicness! Love it!

dj-Nate responds:

I love YOU

[Fear Not This Night]

Love it! Reminds of Enya! I almost got tears while listening to this! In addition, it is technically clean and the flow is smooth. The orchestra is really moving and the voice are perfect! No flats and sharps. Also sounds like a theatrical performance! Good job! Deserves to be frontpaged!

Step responds:

Thanks for the heartwarming comments! Glad you enjoyed it :).

[Serenity]

Uhmmmm...
First of all the idea was really flabbergasting!
The concept was alright and really justified...
But...
Technically speaking, mastering is a bit off. Let's take it in different dimensions.
============
When you are doing songs with vocals, always remember that you must emphasise the vocals, only supplemented by other instruments (i.e. synths, etc.) with only exception for the drops. So you have to add oomph on your voice. And as a singer/performer, you must clarify and power up your belting skills for such songs like dubstep fused with vocals

Instrumental-wise, stereo imaging is a bad idea for production if you cannot handle it properly. The sounds (especially the mid frequencies) are relying as panoramic. So my point is, reduce the stereo widening.

Mixing-wise, add space in your drops, especially the basses. Reduce the melodic synths, or, just put it when the kick enters then alter the bass when snares comes in. Also add clarity to the kicks and snares. In order to do that, EQ it! For kicks, add more mids and bass or put the peak in low mid. For snares, add some lows or also put it in low mid. And also add some sub bass and sidechain it with the signal to the kick. It may result to simple but powerful sub bass design.

That's all!
Enthusiastically,
-Uxvellda

ShockblastDeluxe responds:

Whoa, that was a lot of reading... O_o

Thanks for your input! Since this is my first time using my own vocals, there's clearly going to be some issues with the mix/master, but the idea for this was for it to seem kinda distant, then goes into the drop a bit closer up.

Anyways, thanks!
