Ketyri's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Astrivinity - Zenovia]

The discordant atonal stuff is slowly vanishing. You are maturing in your songwriting. And you've only just begun. There's more things going on in this song, there's more parts, there's more instruments, the thing is sprawling longer and more intricately.

Next up is learning production tricks to make songs pop more.

[Abyssal Lullaby - Zenovia]

This might be your best song, I just want to compare it to the previous one I said was your best song.

[Exponential Deceleration - Zenovia]

Boost the kick around 1-2khz and you'll get a clearer sounding kick. Advanced trick is to sidechain the bass so that the kick jumps out more

[Town of Somber - Zenovia]

This song needs a glockenspiel or some kind of bell playing occasional notes once in a blue moon and then it would be perfect.

Zxentric responds:

I can do that :3

[Cultist's Approach - Zenovia]

You're doing a great job. I love the sound of this too.

that electrosynth is a bit too loud, as a mixing critique. But only a smidge.

[Astral Calamity - Zenovia]

I AM SO PROUD

[A Step Into Crystal Hell - Zenovia]

I really like this one. It tells a pretty good story, it's foreboding and danger is lurking. Any step I take could be my last. Your discordant style really works here.

I really do want to see you try a less atonal song though.

Zxentric responds:

Mmm good luck on that :>

[Heartbeat]

Pretty good for a first upload. Gotta milk those retro cows. I like the panned vocals on the right. Those are pretty rad, but I wish they were automated to be louder the longer the song went on, as a sort of haunting thing. There's not enough dynamics in this song.

MarinNabigh responds:

Thank you for the feedback!

I'm glad you think it's good a first upload. I was trying to give the track more dynamic range when making it, but I got stuck... I'll definitely keep trying though!

[. Out Of Time .]

I laughed, I actually also took inspiration from Hanz Zimmer and did the sameish ticking clock sound but made something completely different. I'm going to upload it now since you reminded me.

The mixing proportions are all off though. None of the volumes sound right. They're all so quiet. None of them are screaming. That organ at 1:42 brings tears to my eyes though. 1:55 is like 2 seconds of that BOOMING LOUD I WANT. But you could do even MORE my STARCHILD. MORE MORE MORE >:) BRING IN THE HORNS. BRING IN THE SWELLING STRINGS. It's possible I promise.

2:28 is so deflating though. It just drops the mood entirely. Ugh.

[.:{Crystals}:.]

This is by far your best track so far. Yeah yeah I'm a whore for beautiful ambience. I know.
