Kaskrin's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[~NK~ "Time Lapse" (Old Track)]

Great!

The only problem I have with the sound is that damn hi-hat in the background from 0:40 until 1:22 and 1:35 to 2:17 around. Very irritating, but otherwise your sounds are great and if edited and refined, this could easily be considered professional grade music.

[Untitled Trance [2008]]

Good for 12

Very trancy, if almost too much. Being 12, this is great though, I can't say I could formulate anything like this when I was that age. You should re-edit it and make it sound even better.

KieranNG responds:

Yeah, back then I was way into like old school trance and stuff. I'm thinking about redoing it but the problem is I no longer have the FLP. I'm sure I could recreate the synths, I'm just not entirely sure it's worth the bother though.

[XTC - Dark Presence]

DnB / Garde

I dig it, very confusing but in turn, interesting.

[Zelda Song of Storms Remake]

Interesting sounds

My right ear hears too much. The panning needs to be balanced, otherwise, I like it and dig the sounds you used. The high-cut could be reduced though, it sounds a little too "gained" or "static-y".

SpitNeck responds:

I made this eons ago, this is actually one of the frist songs I made with FL demo.

I completely know what youre talking about. I cant rework on it at all, but I might remake it.

[~Stavier~ Sippin' Wine]

Beautiful and sweet

Really awesome, the only complaint I have is at around 0:30 - 0:50, I feel as though it needs some variation in rhythm/beat/melody/something. I love 1:18, just amazing.

Stavier responds:

Thanx for the review!!! I'll take into consideration your advice and change the beat up a lil' bit rite now :D Glad you liked the song

[Rivet II - Flisk]

Dance, an optimistic bass bumping feel

The background synth is a bit "static-y" and repetitive. This is a dance song definitely, but sitting here listening it is very boring. From 1:00 to 1:42 I hear the same line. To make a great song you cannot decide to repeat 4 bars multiple times. You need variation, other than that you are set.

Spend more time adding definition and variation, also tighting up everything. By tightening it up, it gives the average listener the ability to hear every track on the song without effort.

SolidSHAKEgo responds:

Thanks. You seem to know what you're talking about :3 ill take the advice and improve. Feel free to criticize my other songs too if you're bored. I know some are better than others.

[Monster Swag(dubstep)]

Not necessarily interesting

The drums come in to hard in the beginning, should fade slightly. The drop is light and the bassline is repetitive. "wubwubwubwub" "wubwubwubwub", it needs more variation, some side sound, something other than the main repetitive focus. I don't know how long you have been producing, but if you are new this is a good start. You need to add more "detail" to every part, dubstep is not techno.

I like the bass drum build, tight and noticable, but it does need to fade in more though, starting off soft and building LOUD

[Falling Rain [Instrumental]]

It's absolutely outstanding

Why it has such a low rating at the moment baffles me. There is so much emotion and musical understanding/relation in this piece. I give you a 5. Many listeners I bet will not be able to hear it, but it is beautiful.
