Qilin's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[-Darkest Darkness-]

Sooo ready for some harsh criticism?

Well here is what I noted:1. Does not really fit the term Trance, it's rather industrial. Further, it misses a classic 4-to-the-floor kickdrum beat.

2. If it is supposed to be Psychedelic Trance, I have to dissapoint you in every way. This shit is dark and I like that aspect, but it is not psychedelic.

3. You should compress it a bit to gain more energy

4. It lacks a lot of low end. But more bass into it and cut your synths and sound effects at around 80 (+-20) hz.

Creeperforce24 responds:

Alrighty then

But I was going for industrial trance

Also I never heard about the kick drum thing but I wanted to go original, so basically I just repeated a bunch of times. I’m kinda like waterflame feelings about a track that just loops and loops, its a bad idea, not judging those songs but basically what I feel like if you read goa codex by waterflame disc you’ll know what I mean

Sounds a bit Overpowerd, maybe there is too much compression in there.
Also, for my taste it is too slow regarding that it is psytrance. A bpm between 135 and 150 would be better I guess. I like your synths though.

LeruoME responds:

ty :D for being honest on this review, its true that 128 bpm may feel a bit slow for psytrance but when I made the track I wanted to make an house track, and since it was made for nguac, I kept it to gain some time. For the comp thing, look at my response under pawles22's comment. Ty for the response !

Pretty good and trippy Hi-Tech. Only criticism from my side would be too much highs in the bass - the click is too strong here. Also, the kick could have more bass

Michamadman responds:

Yeah I wasnt sure if that buzzy bass would be a good idea but I kept it anyway... Also thanks for the kick advice!

[COSMIC HAND (Slow version)]

Pretty nice. Nice Appegios in the second half and generally a very atmospheric feeling. However I have a few points i would like to critisize:
-Offbeat bass length: For a fuller and more driving sound I's recommend to make the offbeat bassline notes longer so that they are half a beat (1/8 note) long and not a quarter beat (1/16 note).
-Snare Volume: In my opinion, the snare/clap is a little bit too loud.

keep on doing psytrance though. Nice work

Thanks for the good criticism (⁠｡⁠•̀⁠ᴗ⁠-⁠)⁠✧, I will take into account the points you pointed out for the next (⁠ ⁠╹⁠▽⁠╹⁠ ⁠)

Nice work and beautiful voice ^^!
I am a Psytrance Producer from Germany. Hereby I want to ask you if it was okay if I used this snippet in one of my tracks.

Thank you, but I'm afraid I have to refuse.
