larrynachos's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[summer sucks]

This song is both the anguish I feel when waking up covered in sweat on a 95 degree day as well as the relief I feel when it cools down in the evening. Great work!

[Last Night Sight]

Beautiful track! I wish there was some variety in the bass. I recognize that melody in the final section, from a blank banshee song or something. Fit very well!

[power move]

is this fucking PENIS MUSIC xD

Pretty funky, gives me warioware vibes. I would have done a little more to the dynamics to keep it from sounding like a brick wall the whole time. I like the lead near the end but it definitely suffocates the rest of the elements.

If you're slapping fruity limiter on the end of the effect rack, DON'T. Try fruity soft clipper.

thank you so much for these pointers. i will apply them in the future!

[Eventide Illusion]

+ Love the atmosphere and the beat!

- Not a whole lot of variety, I feel like this needed a middle section to shake things up and a louder finale.

Great track! 8/10

[lovestruck]

The sound choice is nice, but that bassline steered the whole song off course. The D# to C made sense, but then jumping up to F and returning to the D# early completely threw off the energy. I feel like D# to C down to G# and then up to like A# would have given you that sort of "love song" ballad energy this track would have really been a vibe with. Also having 2 bass patterns playing clashing notes is interesting but ultimately just causes more dissonance and confusion

4/10

beenibroh responds:

the first actually constructive review i've ever received that analyzes a track of mine

this isn't really the song im particularly the happiest with as i've produced much better songs, i was really just trying to capture that anxious sort of feel when there is a girl you like and you're just afraid to tell her. however i believe that idea could have executed way better.

however now that you have pointed it out i know i should have made the bass line better and im glad u pointed it out and why it was a bad bassline.

if you have anymore questions or critiques then by all means ask away as i will try to listen to them as best as possible..

[Cloud Gliding]

+ I love ambient dnb, I love the sounds you used and I'm happy you have some variety in your song's progression

- The last minute lacked the climax I'd expected for a final section. The second section had me pumped, I was hoping you'd finish strong by cranking up the processing on the pads and bass, maybe slice up the drum samples to make them more intense

9/10

[Shut up]

+ Hard hitting, gritty basses and tasty drums

- sound selection lacks variety, some drum samples seem to be quieter than they should be in certain parts, and sometimes the sidechain doesn't seem to be there when it should be

5/10

[LET'S F@#%ING GOOO]

I think the greatest injustice was opening with a wide reverby space and then going completely dry for most of the drop. The energy is completely inverted, I feel like it should have started off dry then expanded into the wet space. It does start to improve when more layers are added, the energy picks up around 1:13. The bit at 1:35 made me laugh cause it sounds like a warioware or warioworld song xD I like the second section too, as well as the outro!

I wish there was more variation in the sound choice, the lead wears on me after a while which was why I was so relieved when the second section got that guitar bit. The space between the first and second sections sounded really uninspired, you could have thrown a simple dnb break in there and it would have been far more engaging.

Nice track! It's intense, but because it stays at the same level the whole time still feels a little stagnant. Try to shake it up a little! Put me on an emotional rollercoaster!

3/5

[Aster - Neftaria]

If anyone knows anything about me, it's that I LOVE atmospheric DnB :3

The soundscape is gorgeous! I wish it morphed and changed a bit more, maybe automate some grittier high end layers at some parts to move the energy around instead of keeping it at the same level for most of the time. I find that shifting the reverb settings and adding other weird effects like granular delay gives it a certain character beyond just cranking the wet knob. Also, running the pad through a convolver and trying different samples can give awesome results!

I liked the breaks, but I'm not a fan of the kick sample you chose. It sounds too weak to justify the heavy sidechaining coming off it. A heavier sample and some saturation would have done wonderfully!

The lead in the second section was nice, but again I wish there was more movement and variation to it. That stuttery ending though, n i c e <3

Beautiful track, very intense but could use a little variation! :)

4/5

:dance:

[Bad Scientist (Personal)]

Right off the bat, I would have cut the high frequencies out of that synth sequence. There's a high pitch that's making my teeth hurt like when old pencil sharpeners would screech. The rest of the instrumental was pretty tame, typical techno stuff.

The half life samples made me chuckle, although they don't have a catchy groove for the most part. I feel like if you took another hour to just play with chopping up the samples it'd be truly a banger xD The "A A A A A A AAAA" kinda sounds like a deer scare sound lol

Also, did he just say "I am looking forward to your nuts"???????

This is certainly the most "Newgrounds" song I've heard in a while, so kudos for that haha

I really wish you had submitted one of your metal songs for the NGUAC, you have a ton of great tunes but you chose to showcase a shitpost ;-;

2/5

RichardCynic responds:

How often does the NGUAC happen? I can only use songs that I exclusively worked on by myself, which I have a lot of for ATP, but that is going to be changing as ATP is going to become more of a collaborative effort between me and the guitarist.
