Kaskrin's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Harbinger V1.2]

There is no melody, nor is there any contrast. The hit sound is bit crush galore and doesn't sound nice at all. Work on the sounds and changing the pace of the song. It shouldn't just be hard the entire time, a listener needs some time to relax. Listen to some popular electronic music that you like, and think about the dynamics of the song, it will help you structure you song better.

Gnorfell responds:

I'm gonna have that in mind when I continue working on it.

[Harbinger]

I don't know if this is really "dubstep". The bassline is super distorted. It definitely has potential if you keep working on it. The intro is long, you shouldn't use a similar drum sample throughout the intro. I only hear one synth throughout the song as well, try and use multiple sounds.

[Gravity]

Yes, some innovative dubstep. I love it because it doesn't sound like anything other dubstep style.

DjThePluck responds:

thanks the innovation comes from not knowing dubstep for real xD i just listened to one or two songs, here on newgrounds ^.^ so its more random than i ever planned xD

[Electricity EYES [Kaskrin]]

Kaskrin? Hmmm...

[Sonar wip]

Intro sounds very similar to "edIT - Dex", but I kind of like it.

[TM - Prajna]

I don't know what "joshlul" is talking about, but it's fucking awesome. You don't let it all out on the first hit and the melodies are beautiful. I don't like around 1:35 though, it gets to fast and bright, back at 1:59 it's nice though. The fast part is not intense enough at 1:35, it needs a sick bass line or something to tide over the high-band.

[TM - Winter Wubderland]

The drop does not match the intro at all, either make it so the lead in gets heavier, or make the first drop lighter then have a second crazy heavy drop. Makes the song sound more consistent and makes people anticipate the crazy.

It is "cute"

The clockwork feel is great and for some reason it made me LoL when I first start listening to it. Great as a soundtrack and I hope this will work well with the game you are a part of developing!

BenTibbetts responds:

Thanks!

Needs more consistency

At about 1:40, when the beat cuts out, there is no warning, it is very abrupt. It's fine to have it soft with a build, but when a beat cuts out with no sign it does not feel nice. The build is great, a little long. I love 2:44, my favorite part. The background synths are beautiful. At about 3:06 that pause drop is also awesome. It is obvious you put a good amount of effort in the sounds and the melody. It is repeated a lot but it works in this kind of clubbing/dance music with the sounds you used and the great melody you formulated.

DDman465 responds:

I see what you mean at 1:40. After working on it for a while, sounds seem to just appear in my head and I overlook it, haha. There's still quite a bit of polishing to do, and I still have a few things I want to try. Thanks for the review!

Very Repetitive and not easy to follow

The drums are not easily heard and every track sounds to be running into each other. All I can distinctly hear is the high pitched melodic downscale synth which gets boring very quickly.

My suggestion is to listen to it over again, balance the volumes of the tracks and don't let too many things happen at once. Also instead of having a constant downscaling melodic synth, change it up. Don't repeat something just because it's annoying to change. Trust me it will sound much better if you do these things.

quadx responds:

thanks for the review im already in the process of reworking the song
