Ditchy's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Good Trip]

Catchy. Loved the tape start to set the mood.

Always like those moments where you just work on a song and smash it. Well done :)

[100]

Really good - The kick with the sub bass was a bit too loud and distorted for me...

Obviously that was just preference as the mix itself was great.

Well done!

[No Rush! Let's Enjoy the Sunset!]

Great Job - Nothing negative to say mate :)

[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

[Revolution]

Really liked this, reminded me of something you could hear on an RTS like Command and Conquer at 1.08 with the background siren and the gritty pumping.

Break down was interesting at 2.05 - in a good way.

Wasnt a fan of the sort of fast intermission and vocals when it hit 2.12 - was expecting a build/drop but went a little off (for me anyway).

Either way, great solid track mate!

[Something About Guitars and Sunsets]

Really liked this - Flex is an awesome tool.

Loved how you made the guitar sound natural (especially the bends).

Yeah, you should be proud of this one.

[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

[Hero of the day]

Definitely had an 80s synth vibe. Could picture being in a video game. Loved the 80s clap, was done really well.

Only thing is, other than that - I couldnt picture listening to this by itself, it kind of drags (progression wise).

Still, its a good song :)

[Astral Projection]

Really like it mate - Bassline was solid, and I really liked the retro stabs in the background.

Well done :)
