Turret1234's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[RECOMMENDED VIDEO]

Not entirely sure if you made this so I'm gonna keep the scoring low-ish.

I'd recommend talking about what you did making this song in the description because I'm not entirely sure how or what you used to make this.

Although I will say that at parts of the song it feels empty, like at the start and the samples seem a bit poorly used and under implemented. Not much was done with it but I like the use of it.
(The pewdiepie sample use was my favorite lol)

The little break near the end is a little odd and not very much of a break. It's a bit too bass-y and the transition to the next drop is a bit too abrupt, I'd suggest a fade to the next drop even if it's quick.

The genre label is a bit off in my opinion too but I can understand the choice of dubstep as the genre label.

But if you really made this track, I think it's good I'd just recommend stating your ways of making it because I'm not 100% sure you made it.

I'll be checking your posts in the future, if you keep this up and say what you did making this I'll consider scouting you.

CanTrollYourMind responds:

Yeah, I made this. 100% in reaper using Synth1, TranceDrive, a pack of drums I found by searching free edm drum samples pack on google and audio from shit I watch on the internet. NOT SURE why your scoring low because you aren't sure I made it. That's totally unprompted but beyond that you are then acting as if I made it before going back to the assumption that I didn't make it. What possible reason would you have for thinking I didn't make this? Is it because you can't quantify how this was made or something? Do you want my stems, nigga?

Also the genre label is WAAAY the fuck off. This is closer to like electro house but it's not electro enough really plus I don't really dig the lack of options on NG.


(Oh and there is a certain vst guitar amp that runs as FE3 or something that I put on the bass. Other than that all comps, eqs, and verb effects are stock REAPER plugins)

[Youtube is Utter Garbage (Speedcore)]

Is this inspired by recent events?

Don't usually listen to speedcore but I particularly enjoyed this track, the drums don't entirely take the full stage which is a thing I don't like too much about speedcore.

The synths are pretty nice and melodic but the vocal samples are a little strange. They don't feel all too fitting or too well implemented but that comes from someone who doesn't really like random vocal samples but then again I'm probably crazy and this really isn't a point.

Interesting track either way, will be following for more!

etK responds:

Thanks a lot for the constructive criticism! What you say about the vocals may be a valid point, you're not crazy haha. and I'm glad you liked the track!
And yeah to answer you the title is inspired by the fact that youtube pisses me off every fucking day, both as someone who has a channel and as someone who enjoys video content on the internet.

[Found Footage]

Is this literally just a remix of the Jurassic Park theme?

Ignoring the Jurassic Park part (it was really distracting listening all the way through lmao)
This is really good, I kinda want to make an 8-bit version of this but I'm really bad at doing things by ear despite wanting to be a music artist.

This kinda sounds like something that would play in a Vsauce video and I like that a lot.
Pretty pop-sounding and great sound mixing.

I'm still bumbing my rating down by half a star because that Jurassic Park Motif is so distracting.

[This mp3 is 262.5000000084 seconds long]

New artist to follow I see.

Enjoy this a lot, reminds me of some of my favorite music.

Mixing is great and the buildup is awesome.
Very nice structure and I like it.

[The Michael Rosen Rap (REMIX)]

Repetitive but fun, it's not very outstanding as a remix but it's fun and it fits a Michael Rosen remix.

The second part was pretty good and the stop at that one part was great.

Nice little fun song, will recommend to my friends and family.

[WR4ITH - Limitless (Old)]

Not very good in my opinion.

The production seems kinda flat at the drop, it's supposed to feel intense but feels a bit underwhelming and stale. The buildup is very nice but the high pass filter near the end of it (I think it is a high pass at least) sounds very off.

The second drop is a bit better but still very stale sounding and just as underwhelming as the first.

The growls in the first drop sound very low quality too as if they were taken directly from a Skrillex song and given a bad high pass filter.

Start is probably the best sounding part actually sounding like a decent start to a dubstep song.

Overall not very good but I see potential.

WR4ITHExtras responds:

Haha, yeah, my thoughts exactly. There's a reason I never finished this one. The reason the growl sounds like that is because it's a placeholder sample that I never got around to replacing. As is the case with quite a few synths in this track. Thanks for the feedback nonetheless :)
