SAMFISH's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[My Enemy]

I would preferred this without the drums and the 70's sounding synths. Maybe with acoustic drums and piano, or better yet, build it into a rock song Alter Bridge style. Although, the lyrics are also rather shallow. Also, cut the background noise. You can do that by turning down the gain on the mic. Other than that, it's a pretty solid track.

mistarogerz responds:

All my shit sounds like the 70's. I'm going to grow a mullet and kick your ass! LOL!
Thanks for the review. The mic was just my computer mic. I should buy some new equipment but I'm poor and I live in a dumpster. Next time I'll grab few 5 gallon buckets for drums, and a few tampons for all the bloody bastards that review this song.
Seriously though I appreciate the review bruh!

[Infinitum]

Your combo of electronic and classical works so well. It's a lot like TheFatRat with Monody and stuff. I really like it! Also, that lead is officially stuck in my head now XD

AQVILVS responds:

I'm really glad you like it haha ! And it's a nice compliment to be compared to "Monody" from TheFatRat wich is a music i really love ! It makes me think a bit like the music of the movie "How to train your dragon" :P

Thank you Samfish :))

[Imperium]

I really like this alot! The only thing I feel could be significantly better is your mixing and use of percussions. I'd get my hands on some Taiko program if I were you rather than just toms. At least put reverb and digital multiply on them to make them boom. I really think this combo of electronic is really cool. It's like Two Steps from Hell | Heart of Courage meets Ben Gold x Omnia | The Gateway. I'd also like there to be some flowing sections and longer, thicker (that's what she said) strokes of the bow out of the strings section to really make that hit you. It's the same effect as Teminite's THICC chord progressions he totally leans on that make him such a fruckin god. What program are you using btw? Whatever it is, you have really good ideas and a good sense of balance in a string orchestra. Keep it up!

AQVILVS responds:

Thank you for your nice and constructive review !! I will improve myself and make more of that type of music :D
I'm really influenced by TSFH and usually epic music !
The program i use is Fl Studio 12 :)

Thank you !!

[Dubstep Drop]

Pretty good. The growls sound really outdated though, but I guess that's like you said due to the mixing. Hopefully you can get a better computer eventually. I'd cut out those high FQs on the first growls though. It just sounds really amateur because of them. Other than that, you have pretty good ideas. Nice job.

Mudstep responds:

Yeah, whenever I try to open the EQ FL crashes again XD
I also was trying to compress the growls but that wouldn't work
Thanks for the feedback!

[Time Out]

Just love that sidechain kick in the beginning. I really have a thing for those :D

DJStormblastXL responds:

Thank you man :)

[☻Baking Cookies☻]

I love it! It sounds so happy! :D

SirKoto51 responds:

Titles says all! :D

[The Ambiguous Frontier]

It's pretty cool. I like the really phantasmagorical feel this song has. The only thing is that sometimes there is need for compression and the mixing could be better. Also it sounds very mono there's the stereo tones and the mono synths clashing a lot in the chords. I do love those chords though! Nice job :D

SirKoto51 responds:

Thanks :) I'm constantly making attempts to improve my panning and mixing but I often skip over a lot of production aspects such as that; it's certainly an area I need to improve upon. But I'm glad you like my cordage going on and the such. Thanks for the feedback

[Something i worked on...]

I really like this. It sounds so happy and full of life despite the fact that it is in a minor key. This is probably because of the bassline which is very interesting and compliments the chords splendidly. Also, bonus points for those fat chords. That slight detune is so satisfying to me :D The only reason this isn't a five star in my opinion is the mixing. Maybe a multiband compressor or a few EQ adjustments.

Xcape responds:

Where would the song need a compressor specifically and what could use some EQ adjustments? I didn't work on the intro much, i added it mostly cause otherwise the song started too loud imo.
