Anchorwind's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Frozen Dawn]

Most of this is well done. Your Gong? right around :37 and :43 just doesn't work. The contrast between it and every other sound in the piece is significant enough for it to draw more attention than it needs to and takes away from that section of the piece as a whole. If you still have the project files, I would recommend a higher quality bell sample to achieve your desired message, and a deeper/punchier kick throughout the rest of the piece. I think this piece has a lot of promise.

RaydisST responds:

Hi Anchorwind, thanks for the rating and reply! Also what you've said is exactly what I'm looking for thank you! I do have the files backed up in an archive but the software is all fritzing for now, when I get it all working again ill def implement and try out the changes. Back when I did this song I believe I only had default instrument packages so hopefully the sound quality of everything in general will also improve! Again thank you for your reply and your time :D

[Snowbound Trail]

I didn't get "Soft and Calm" from this. I heard more of a "Kind and Happy." Less of a Frozen Terrain and more of the Inn at the Snow-Covered City. Still not too shabby either way. P.S. Set it to loop when you submit :) [music - loop] instead of [music - song].

RaydisST responds:

Hmm never thought of it that way, but now that you mention it I do see your point hehe, and thanks, I completely missed that in the audio submission page, I'll not forget that on the next looped upload.

[Acid_Wobble]

I enjoyed this, almost as much as I enjoyed Toxic Acid. Thanks for posting!

SlaughterClub responds:

thanks man its not great but was feeling sick all day best i could do at the time

[LICH-TheAeons]

The section from 2:08-3:30 is my favorite of yours since Poison Throne. Keep those Instrumentals coming [or let some of us do some instrumental remixes :) ]!

Lich responds:

Thanks for the review.
Haha, anyone is more than welcome to remix any track of mine that they want in any shape or form :)

[FAIA]

/download. I was listening to understand, and then the laughter around 1:36 just rubs it in. Well placed. I think most of us truly ill [as opposed to those who claim such as if its a badge of honor to proudly display] have discovered the links between our illnesses and our creativity. If you're bored at some point: want to try a deeper kick? Perhaps even just a louder kick. Needs Zazz.

ZLEAP responds:

I'm working on the kick. I'm upgrading both software and hardware so it's taking some time to get back to work. Soon. And you are correct. I never have to tell anyone I'm crazy. They just know. I am what I am because of disorders that have gone undiagnosed for 26 years now. Of course, for fellows such as ourselves, this is bittersweet. In my most imaginative state, I couldn't imagine being unimaginative. I have the spark and most people don't. I'm a shitty human being, but I'm an interesting artist to say the least. (Self assessment is hardly ever an accurate statement.)

[Toyan Harmony]

May I suggest going back into your mix and work on re-mastering. Try to establish a healthy baseline first, such as the overall master at -3db. You've some distortion here that sounds like you were simply trying to push too much volume through and your quality suffered as a result. Once you've eliminated that distortion, I would re-post.

KiraLiske123 responds:

I've noticed that problem a few days after I posted it, turns out my compter's volume was really low when I was making that song....

Now my problem is that I had a computer issue a while back and no longer have the song file to fix it, so this is the best I've got without just rewriting the entire song.

[LICH-DevoidOvEverything]

Any chance we can get an instrumental mix? :)

Lich responds:

I'm sure something can be arranged. Right now, I just got NI Kontakt 5 (Full) delivered through the post on 5 disks, so I'm going through the pain of getting all that installed :P

[The Hammer of Eden]

/download. I love tracks like this, ones that have a lonely feel to them. I agree that the guitar could use a tweak or two but I wouldn't change too much. This is a track I can see growing on me and being played quite a bit. Thanks for posting.

LuigiofDarkness responds:

Really glad you like it!
I was trying to explore a, more or less, gray area in some of the music I make.
I'll probably upload a different version of this sometime soon.

[Reaching into EF]

I'm not sure why this is in Industrial, but I was with you up until 1:50: the vocals. I like the track and thank you for posting.

Teck071 responds:

There isnt a breakbeat genre on this damn website

[[LLM] Die Abstammung]

Solid quality work, as always.

Lich responds:

Thanks dude :)
