Ditchy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Theory]

This is great. I really liked the variation and drums! Basically just sounds like one of those tracks you just get really into while making it. Good job.

DeltaRhoGamma responds:

Some songs I'm just grooving to ha! Thx

[Greg-dalf Wizard Demo]

Great!

PawPawGreg responds:

Most appreciated!

[Angels Voice "NGUAC Final"]

Awesome track mate. Nail on head getting it to sound like its from ASOT/FSOE. Love both, but I guess my favourite is FSOE, as I find a lot more epic uplifting styles with them (closer to how Trance used to be in the Early/mid 2000s anyway).

Inspires me to finish at least one of the many I have on the back burner! Well done.

TerraNation responds:

thank you :)

[Reditus Solis]

Cant relate to the remix itself, but I appreciate the synthwave in general. Synths were bang on and toms obviously enhanced the 80s vibe.

Loved the Techno style build at 01.58.

02.30 - I know that FF theme though :D loved how you worked it in there. I always imagined doing something based on this, but dont think I could top it.

03.00 - Really good Cyberpunk melody - didnt think you needed to add this though, as it could have been its own song. Felt like you mixed another different track in.

Overall, amazing song :D

NemesisTheory responds:

Always happy to see another Synthwave enthusiast!

About 3:00, we just couldn't resist to end on a high note (with a twist) 😅

Thanks for the love! 😊

[Promises]

Its not nooby mate, really nice and well done.

ProjectSoary responds:

Thank you! I guess I must've upgraded to intermediate music. lol

[Living in 95]

Loved what you did there. Very nostalgic and made me smile. Very minimal for my taste though, and not massively dynamic - even though you changed things up with the main windows theme every now and then, just kind of dragged on in the end though,

That being said, I could see this track being used in that background of like a tech video :D

Void64 responds:

I’m glad I made you smile

[Bring The Funk]

I liked the vibe of this song...had a gritty progressiveness behind it. Could see this having some street/grime rapping on top of it about a journey of some sorts lol

Great track.

boza44 responds:

lol i like that. progressive rap ftw. thank you

[Bruh!]

Had a Sega game vibe going on here.

I dont feel there was much to work with as you had used a very limited site. Melody wise, it was good - especially how you mixed the percussion well with the melody. Short and sweet - but could be built upon with some better tools and mixing.

BlakeYay responds:

Yes... If I had better tools I could make way better music lol

[The Grove (Inspired by the Walking Dead)]

I loved the fact that this inspired you via the Walking Dead (especially the Vocal after the drop at 02:28). Melody was great!

What didnt work for me was the sound design/mixing..it very high on the frequency end (especially found it hard to listen to at 3:34), like the treble was turned up. I think spending more time tweaking the bassline, kick to be punchier etc could help give it more of a 'f yeah' when it all kicks in and comes together.

Again, its a great song so please don't be offended by the criticism..it just felt hindered by the mixing, for me anyway,

CaliberKat responds:

thank you. It's hard to find someone who has actually watched the Walking Dead! and im not offended, i know most of my pieces have flaws

[Decadent Carnival]

The song is pretty good! Reminds me of something you would hear on fast paced game like Jet Set Radio.

For me, it could have been a bit more beefy and louder - if that makes sense? Great job though.

Azurenite responds:

Thanks! I see what you mean, it's definitely something that I can improve in the future.
