CATAWAKE's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mochi 餅]

Low end is too muddy

EMBL3M responds:

kind of, I agree.
Still getting the hang of mastering balance and such. That's not my strong point.

[Crunchy]

Good shit!

Hippokopter responds:

Well, uh... I don't like swearing, so if you could refrain from swearing, I would appreciate it. Other than that, thanks for the review! :p

[LittleToe In The Lava]

It seems good at the start, though the synth is a little too highpassed. After 0:20 its where it begins to go downhill with weird, out of key randomness. Percussion was nice though, keeping it real with the triangle + noise wave

Manx1 responds:

hmm, I think you're right, it is a bit fast bpm wise.

[listerine]

Decent little tune, though dissonant in some parts.

I don't know why you decide to name all your tunes silly names when they're not that bad at all.

[Pastel Pink Kisses]

I don't think TR4NC3BOY understand what a mellow and chill song is. Not every song needs to have a hardstyle kick.

Anyways, the piece itself is ok, though in my mind, it would sound much better with a reese bass or something like that, something the keep the listener interested. The snare, I don't like. I don't know what you did to it, I don't like. Fix pl0x. As for the little synth starting @ 2:00, I actually like it quite a bit. The rest of the song is nice as well, well done.

Sometimes repetitiveness is something thats a good thing, you should try doing some lofi hop with this song, or some of your other chill songs.

Also, wrong category, pretty sure this isn't techno.

Nice work!

Kalviter responds:

Sorry about the category thing, I have no idea what this would fit in on the list. Thanks for the feedback though! I've finally got some new snare samples so I should be able to fix that snare, cos it's a problem in all my songs. I've always thought about going into lofi, might give it a try.

[mr hands]

This is actually really good, a few things out of key, but in other regards, not too shabby!

Wrong genre though, you probably are looking for chiptune, or solo instrument (i assume you used the same patch for the song) or something of that sort.

Keep this up!

funkmeisterfish responds:

Thank yuo very much

[HyperDrive]

Needs better mastering to be honest, it sounds like its poorly EQ'd or you put Fruity Reverb on the master. It sounds very bad. I say this on a lot of tracks: IT NEEDS AN ARP! Its kinda boring listening to the same chord progression over and over again, so that would be better if it was changed up a bit.

In summary: Needs more variation, an arp, and better mastering.

R4R

[diaper lugia]

this song sucks vip?

funkmeisterfish responds:

yeas its the same chord progression

[Phaseblade]

Poor mastering.

You need to bring up those drums, just very weak in general.
