EtzerGD's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hey Colbreakz]

I like the song itself, but if you are going to try and emulate Colbreakz:
Add more video game sfx 8)
The saw stack sounds different, i think too much bass compared too the highs
Also maybe just in general the bass sticks out a little much compared to the lead and sawy stuff, it feels a little soggy or muddy- idk how to explain appropriately- through my headphones, otherwise p cool tho helixixixixixx

[Zyzyx - Level X]

Pretty sick, my two complaints: 1) some parts like the hats, and maybe the vocaloid stuff in the intro were a litle loud 2) I felt like there wasn't a super strong motif, the song wasn't as catchy as I thought because I couldn't really pick out what was supposed to be the main melody: the formant/vocally synth, or the melody in the melodic sections after the drops. I've had this issue before too, so maybe I'm just being picky, but overall good song!

DJ-Zyzyx responds:

Thanks etz :D Yeah i would agree with you, since this was on older song I didn't feel like touching up the melody lol

[Serponge Mix]

At first I thought this was gonna be some kinda lame shit or somethin for a level, but I was really shocked how well your songs transition. It feels like a coherent song, great work!

[TheFatRat - Monody (Zyzyx Remix)]

Pretty dope, although I feel like the transition to and out is a little weird. It went too fast into a drop coming out of calm vocals. Usually I like that contrast but idk it just didnt fit here :3 Good dubstep tho

DJ-Zyzyx responds:

Hey Etz! Thanks for leaving a review :) I agree with you here, listening too it again I think I may have made a more suttle transition.

[Toby Fox - Undertale (Karaplex Remix)]

Damn near perfect, but I have a couple issues that are pretty minor. In my opinion the bells at the beginning could have been a lit bit softer to the ears, idk they hurt mine a little but maybe thats just my problem 8). I also think the saws in the drops had a bit too much noise, or maybe it just wasnt blended well. Sometimes felt like it was drowning out the chords themselves. Also, another opinion, wasn't a huge fan of the flute at 2:20. But overall really sick sound design with a second drop that I wish just had a bit more grit ;(. Also rip collab 8)

GG

KORAII responds:

lol rip xD yeah thanks for listening m8 glad you enjoyed

[Bossfight - Elevatia]

looking forward to seeing your future tracks on bigger and bigger and bigger record labels, cuz holy (shit) yeah, this stuff is really good, I can't get enough of this future bass and unpredictability of the whole track, plus the tiny snaress 8) 8) 8) love it all :3

In terms of criticism I guess, I'd say that it sounded just a tiny bit muddy around the two minute mark, but I can't complain at all about it cuz the song is jjust soo good.

[Nine Twelve]

Reminds me of a song you'd find on the VVVVVV soundtrack. Also a pretty nice sequel to Ghost House. The only thing I wasn't a huge fan of was the drums, just cuz the piece itself is kinda everywhere (in a good way), and the drums just sorta go "Boom tss clap Boom tss clap Boom tss clap" over and over, and I thought that they could speed up or change with the track, because by the end of the first drop I wasn't really able to focus on the actual song, only the drums cuz they were just sortta there. Idk if this makes ANY sense at all. Sorry. Nice description also.

Schtiffles responds:

Yeah it definitely makes sense, I'm told I need to vary up my drums quite often, and I kind of dropped the ball on this one. Thanks for the reminder :P
