UltraMX's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[(MD) Sxlex [Complextro]]

This sounds pretty cool! Though the drop is pretty messy and this is actually dubstep. This actually sounds like what F-777 would make. However you might want to focus on lowering the volume of the leads to give the drums some breathing room and adding some low end. Otherwise it's great!

MkalluxMusic responds:

ok, yeah this is litterly my first attempt at complextro, i really dont know what complextro usually has, so i just tried going with your description of "electro+dubstep= COMPLEXTRO!"

[(MD) Solex]

Nice lead, i dig that flanger supersaw thing, and the drop is pretty awesome too!

MkalluxMusic responds:

thanks, the saw is actually a instrument from portal 2

[Aria - Enjambée]

Nice piano melody. However did you mean it to be a constant arpeggio? Cause i found it quite boring as it went on. Maybe you could have more variety in the melody so that it sounds more exciting. This would fit in some video game as the title theme, but without the last 9 seconds. Speaking of the last 9 seconds, try not to do that, doesn't sound that pleasant. Pay attention to what notes sound good with what. Overall nice melody but it goes on and on, with the only change in order is the end.

DelitescentAria responds:

As I said to another review, I bear in mind that this was done in half an hour, so this review is pretty generous of you. I guess I should try making a piano track with more variation but the end of the semester is just wrecking me at the moment so it'll have to wait.

I know the ending is lame, I grew bored of making it so I cut it short. By the constant arpeggio, it's because this song was mostly copy and paste.

I appreciate the review, thanks for the ideas.

Cheers ^-^

[Stratosphere]

I love the intro. The beginning gives a cave-like feeling, which is relaxing. The drop is good overall, but you might want to have a trance gate on the synth. The bass is all right, a little gritty to my ears, but all right. I don't think the drop should go on for the whole song though. Try at least to have two drops, a pad and rhythm in between the two drops. Overall nice song! Keep it up!

5TanLey responds:

f u I can have as many drops as I want

thx for the review :)

[Random dubstep i'm working on...]

I like how it's going on. One thing you need to work on in the upcoming track is not make the drop so close to the beginning. Also experiment with sytrus, if tweaked correctly that gives good growls(i'll send you a patch if you want one, if you have fl and i find out how to save FSTs)

GGMiXsiMusic responds:

i have fl, i know about FSTs and how to save\load them, but never actually worked in sytrus, so, i would love to try that patch!

[Genocide]

This is dubstep? It sounds more like a guitar. I know your description says you don't have dubstep synths, but a guitar? Anyways, moving on to the melody. It's great! Keep it up! Next, some sounds are drowned out, particularly at 02:40, there is also massive distortion at that part. The drums are nice, pretty good dubstep drums. All in all the drop was just a massive guitar riff (are you doing guitarstep?) but everything else was nice. Try to remove the distortion and do subtractive eq on 02:40(does garageband even have an equalizer? remind me if it doesn't.)

MysteriousPresence responds:

Hey thanks for the review ! ^^
Yes Guitarstep, that was the genre I was aiming for ! Thanks for reminding me the name ! X)
Yeah 2:40 was a bit too much ! I gotta work on this. :3
GarageBand has an equalizer, but it doesn't work that much. :/
Thanks again ! =D

[Starry Night]

Good job on the song itself. However there is one thing to work on. Your snares don't hit very hard. I'm sorry if i say that for basically every song i review but it seems there is no snare at all. If this is big room, ignore this, but all i can hear that is the snare is the click and noise tail, not the impact. I suggest you add an impactful snare to make it sound better. VERY VERY nice kicks, it is cool. I also liked the leads, it gives off a more trance feel. And you stuck with the mood for pretty much the whole song. So nice job. You should make more songs like this.

5TanLey responds:

about snare - that's on purpose my dude.. if you listen to any professional trance track, you can notice that snare/clap is really low in the mix, everything is driven by the kick :)

thx for review anyway

[The Battle of Aragon]

Nice battle like stuff. However there is one thing that need improvement.
1. I can barely hear the dance thing because the lead is a bit too loud. Try doing subtractive eq to make it a little less loud.
I liked the lead, makes it feel like it's a battle song. It also fits well with the mood, which is a battle kind of mood if i'm not mistaken. Overall nice job!

Zip-Zap-Official responds:

Thank you so much!
What do you mean by "dance thing"? o:

[Aztech + Lockyn: Soulwind]

This is good. I cannot believe this was made in 2014, it sounds like it was recent(to me 2 years is a long time)

Lockyn responds:

thanks mate :)
