Xtrullor's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Agente001 - Spectral Artillery (Talurre Remix)]

Legit slaps hard and big.

Can't think of anything to improve it really. It's exactly where it should be.

[-good ol' new funk-]

Seriously nostalgic. Shame it's just so short.

I have to do something about this....

[Detious - Divinity (VIP)]

Pretty nice. I think the only thing lacking here is a stronger kick and snare presence. If I were you, I'd try to make the bassdrum so present you feel it in addition to hearing it. It's kind of too weak here to my tastes. Exaggerate bravely. If it sounds bad when loud, then EQ it until it does. Or change your sample.

It usually sounds quite amazing after mastering.

But the sound design, man it's fun to listen to. You're starting to get there, I don't think I have much to comment there.

The overall frequency content feels like it's leaning too much in the highs. Some low-mids seem to be missing to make it sound a little bit more meaty and powerful. Or it's just the weak bassdrum which gives the impression.

DetiousMusic responds:

Thanks man, yeah its the same kick from the original, I really didn't do much to it!

I really, reeeeally tried to cut back on the highs and boost the mids, I brickwalled everything above like 18.5hz just to get rid of all that white noise plus some mad dithering. Maybe I'll remaster it.

[Detious - Telluric (Original Mix)]

Solid work man.

Something inside me demanded getting more crazy with sound design, but nevertheless it's a solid track.

Let's collab.

DetiousMusic responds:

I kept the sound design at a minimum for sure, focusing on harmony ;D

FUCK YEA.

[Arctic Wraiths]

Goddamn, the inspiration is HUGE with this one.

Just you wait.... I'm going to do something.

Amazing stuff mate.

Cheers mate!

[The Step of Death]

Freaking great. I very rarely write any comments to stuff, but I felt like doing it because this shit is dope. You've got the right idea about dubstep, man.

The only complaint I'd say is that you use reverb a bit too much. Even though it sounds pretty cool once you get used to it, the idea of a more in-your-face bass would be a very tasty idea in my mind. Just ease it off a little bit, so things aren't so washed out.

Other than that, good shizzle. Just get some compositional variation going on and you're golden.

MafiaPineapple responds:

Thanks!

[AxEL - Good Ol' Days[full]]

You know, your stuff is fine, Axel. I've been following your production for a while now but there's just this one thing I'm getting bored of:

Everything you do kinda sounds the same.

Seriously man, I know you have some potential in you but daym, try making something drastically different someday. I would be interested in hearing some different kinda dubstep from you sometimes, as there's not that many good dubstep artists in Newgrounds from what I know so far.

Keep it up, but try change your style a little sometimes. I feel like I've heard it already every time you publish something new man.

AxELdub responds:

I highly appreciate the criticism man, more people need to tell me things like this.
i will definitely try to change it up to the best of my ability. Thanks man.
