Everratic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Null Gravity]

I like the varying moods throughout the composition; it changes from sounding serious and intense to calm and uplifting. There's a lot of detail in the sound design, which feels futuristic. The loop is a nice touch and the transition is well-executed. I hope this gets front paged :)

Hypervolt responds:

Thanks for all the feedback! This was super fun to make. I am eager to see what other artists have entered :)

[The Blues for Beginning Experts]

This is hilarious :D

LuckyDee responds:

Thanks, I had a blast making it, glad I'm not the only one laughing at my jokes.

[Step by Step]

Wow, this is really good!

AvizuraNG responds:

Thank you very much, that means a lot to me!

[Vigorous]

The drops have interesting sound design. I really like the automation on the dubstepy synths.

I think you could learn a lot by trying to compose minimalist music for a while. Using fewer instruments and effects forces you to focus on establishing hierarchies (as in, what you want your listener to focus on and what you want to be more in the background), filling up the frequency spectrum within the composition. and ensuring all the instruments have adequate breathing room.

Benji-G responds:

Thanks! Yeah, this song (and this album in particular), I mainly created because I wanted to get out of my comfort zone, and I mean by a lot. I used to only make house and stuff like that, but this album contains so many different genres I've always wanted to try out.
After the album is finished, which it soon is, I'm gonna start making songs where I mainly focus on the meaning of the songs. It could be a certain emotion, or a story, etc. Songs that don't have to be intense or powerful, but kinda like you mentioned. You know, keeping things a bit simpler.
But yeah, thanks anyway! :]
Maybe I explained a little too much haha

[found friends]

I like the cute innocent vibes.

trevor8 responds:

thank you!

[New Chapter, New Hope]

This is very relaxing, and the layered vocals are so lush. I like the small surprise around 2:09

[#28 - NGADM 2020 Finale]

1:07:29

Congrats to the winners!

[61 Wishes]

I had a very smooth listening experience until the 4:07 point. I love the build up, arrangement, and instrumentation. Despite your setbacks, I think you did a remarkably good job. You're improving quite quickly, and I think that when your mixing, sound quality, and humanization skills improve a bit more, you'll create masterpieces. It's no easy feat to create a song structure like this that is so engaging.

Albe responds:

Thank you Everratic!! Yeah that weird kinda-unfitting key change at 4:07 was my last attempt on trying to go back to the main key that the song had been holding on until that key change at the climax hahah
I'm flattered that you think I could create masterpieces, thank you for that too. I always seem to be stuck with my non-perfect mixing & mastering knowledge and never achieve an improvement which may be a bit frustrating for me, but I'm sure I'll someday have that eureka moment that makes me realize how to do it well. Glad you liked the song, thank you again!!

[The Final Stretch - NGADM 2020 - FINAL]

I really enjoy listening to this. There are many awesome melodies and solos, and the leads sound extremely expressive. I like the 2000s video game sound quality for the most part - it's indeed charming. There's a lot of variation and complexity, so the listening experience is constantly stimulating. 3:30 is one of my favorite moments.

Mackievellian responds:

Thanks Everratic for the nice comments. Glad you enjoyed it, man.

[GM,BW OST - 02 - L-O-O-P (The Royal Skillet)]

I love it! It's so light and intimate. I imagined sitting in a fancy bar prior to reading the description, so you did a good job following the theme! I didn't pay attention to the humanization of the instruments during my first few listens, which is rare for me, so that means it's excellent.

Also, I sent you a time sensitive message on discord last week.
