Xtrullor's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Peak K2 [House Electro]]

As I know the style is pretty much categorized into progressive subgenres, all I can say that it sounds good as what it is. The progression is well-paced, and I liked listening to it most of the time.

I love that break during 2:06. Though it still brings the same rather annoying feature which annoyed me for the whole track, so to say.
There's that ear-piercing glitch sound which needs to be turned down by volume. Really, I'd prefer you to do that immidiately, it destroys the good feel of listening to this track.

But overall, it's a fine piece of phat sweet house stuff. Just keep your style as what it is (even though it's a bit generic), I like it pretty much.

KSBeats responds:

thank you for your input, i want to know what sound you are actually talking about so i can repair it :]

was it the yoi sound?

[...Hush...]

Sounds rather interesting, indeed. As it's just an experiment with a program of some sort, I can't say much about it for now. All I can say it sounds interesting as a whole.

May I ask... what program did you actually use here? I got a great idea which includes usage of a program like that.

hjhkbn responds:

Something like Peter's Stretcher (wait... that sounds wrong)

No no, its Paul's Stretcher. It stretches sounds and stuff, mostly screwing around with the waveform.

[Derpy Loop]

Kind of nice, yet still needs a bit more.

While mixing is pretty sweet, the content is still a bit... well, it needs something more. I like what it is right now, but the same two synth combination is getting a bit boring over the time.
I like the beat by the way.

You should also apply the remainder cutting in the exporting options. It could make the thing loop a lot better.

Mousetache responds:

Was going to add a third synth as I was trying to make a complextro style track, but ended up thinking this sounded better, there is a lead synth that comes in after this part ends in the actual track but I dunno if that will ever be published anywhere!

[Leedle Lee]

While mixing is kind of weel done, the composition stays kind of narrow and still. There's not much to hear happening in there, and that's the only major problem here actually.

I kind of made a smile for that 'leedling' in the background, but it didn't last as long as I thought. It became a little annoying-ish detail in the track over the time.

I'd prefer you to use more oscilators for your synths, so far they sound very bland and... well... Honestly, it sounds that you didn't spend much time one them for real. Escalation waveform is very recognizable for me, at least.

You need to work more with your tracks, only. More details, less length for different parts and such. No one's actually listening progressive dubstep, really.

DCMB responds:

Alright, sounds reasonable. I've been hearing a quite a lot of annoyance about how often the leedles are, so I'll definitely fix that. I listened to the song 100+ times, so everything was repetitive, so I didn't really catch it. I will look into expanding the waveforms in my bass, thanks for the review. Thanks a lot! :D I don't really care if anyone listens to my songs, I like making them. Thanks for the review! :D

[One Way to Nowhere]

VERY great!

Smooth, interesting and pleasant to listen to. I'd sure want to hear the completed version of this magnificent track, because I like how it's so nice just to listen at, or just to leave it playing in the background.

This, my buddy, was the first thing I heard from you... and now I want to listen to some more of your creations.

By the way.. it has a near perfect mixing, or mastering or whatever. I like that.

[Rainwave - Crashing Paris]

Very great.

It has potential to be an epic, great, ultimate, superb, powerful track. Though it needs more kick into it, and of course... more epic wobblebass.

Can I remix this one? No wait... I WILL remix this one... right now...

Indigorain responds:

No. DON'T INSULT MY KICK! D:<
But you can remix it. :]

[Go make this song yoursel]

Awwritee...

I got interested in the last part here. I caught up it into MIDI, and started play around with it, by building stuff around it.

And now...

You might not even recognize it at all, anymore.

[Bedtime Stories]

Really, really good.

I love your mastering man. And the feel of the track. I should get into trance n' stuff again... Since I'm stuck at dupstep, hard house etc at the moment and ther-
Whoa, the track just started making that awesome melody again.

...

Fuck, I can't seem to make a dupstep remix of this one..

Indigorain responds:

Haha, I'm sorreh it's not very remixable on dubstep property :P
You should make whatever suits you man :D
Anyway, thanks a lot for the review man, I really appreciate it :D :D

[Rainwave - [The Beast Within]]

Really good.

You should work on the bass a bit more, they feel a bit too 'thin' at the moment. As it is your first dupstep track, I really do love it.

Funny. I have a desire to remake this song.

Indigorain responds:

Yea, I didn't really know how to make it extra phat, I mean I was already happy I had some decent wobbles at the moment. Don't have massive. Would love to have it.
I mean, for example, Mr-jazzman didn't use massive before, but he's just got awesome mixing skills, my experience is just one year, I'm still practicing :3
Love your remake btw :D
