Lethal-Input's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Bedroom]

This is real good. The way it starts off and then what it goes off into was slightly surprising at first, but it works well for the song I think. Perfect for a rap instrumental or something along those lines, but also very good to listen to on it's own. Great variation, and great mixing. Really like the vocals used, gives the song a bit more grove and substance. I wish it was a bit longer, but that's pretty much the only bad thing I can say about it. Extremely solid track!

[Pride (Emotion)]

The kick and piano melody you got going on is nice. Kinda wish it changed up a bit more. Wasn't a fan of the part where the bass kicks in. Something about it sounds slightly muddy like one of the lower frequencies are too crowded. Maybe try EQing the lows out of some of the piano when that synth comes in?

SpeirMint responds:

Yeah, I wasn't to happy abou that part... I might just go back and use some other synth instead of bass.
Edit: Fixed it and added better drums, should br all good now. :3

[The Parallel Lullaby]

It's hard to give a lot of detailed criticism on a piece like this but I'll try my best. It's definitely a very calming piece with the way it quietly opens and closes with the rain. All of the gradual fluctuations made it feel like I was constantly in motion. I listened to it with my eyes closed and it certainly did calm me down. It's mastered well, none of the sounds get to high pitched or too irritating. It's good at what it does.

Fubaka responds:

I'll be sure to let parallel me know how you felt. I'm sure he will be pleased.

[Logical Misfits (NG CUT)]

I liked the way it stared with the hi hat and the abstract sound effects. The whole beat/vibe you got going here is great. The build up at 2:45 is awesome. There was much tension built, although I feel the drop could have been more powerful. That actually goes to my main problem with this track, it feels like it hits weak. The kick in the bass just don't feel strong enough. Other than that though you got a very solid track with nice variation.

[Scootaloo's Wings [Cover]]

I like it. The guitar plucks are nice. It gives off a nice, relaxing vibe, and the vocals/lyrics are solid. I don't have anything particularly bad to say about this track. I think it's mixed well, maybe not perfect as I feel the vocals could still blend better with the rest of the composition at points, but that's pretty much it. The melodies are good. Just a solid piece.

[Somnambulant]

I liked the into. It's an interesting song for sure, but then the choirs came in. That could have worked, very very well, it's just that the voice sounds too... I dunno... Flat? Harsh? It just wasn't soothing like I would have wanted it to be. Maybe adding reverb to it would have helped, or cutting out some of the highs. Or maybe just a different vocal sound altogether? That's my main complaint with the song anyway. I think the rest of it made for an interesting piece.

Azhthar responds:

You might be right with the reverb. The voice sounds indeed a bit better with some more predelay, but actually I think that is not what you didn´t like about it ;) The cheesy feeling the voice gives to the track is actually by purpose. You have to listen to Phenomena by Goblin to understand what I mean. This track was meant as a tribute to it with all the cheese it brings ;)

[Sec C]

I find this to be a very good ambient track. The synths you used all around are perfect, and those vocals fit very well. I like how it started, and a really liked how you did the percussion. It had decent amount of variation. The melodies are awesome, soothing. I really don't have an complaints with this. The mix was great. Definitely a good listen.

ScottJacob responds:

Thanks!

[Tracing the Garden of Sol - Intro]

I could easily see this music fitting a horror game. You got some great ambiance going on here with the rain-y sounds, the white noiseish stuff. The breathing was a very cool like thing in there as well. All the spooky pads, the wind. I don't normally listen to this kind of stuff often so I don't really know how to critique it to well.

I feel like some of the high whistles are too harsh. Like if I were playing a video game with this in the background, some of those highs might start bothering me, Like at around 2:35. It's good that they're not there the whole time and fade out after a while. There is good amount of variation in this track in general which made this an interesting listen.

Fubaka responds:

I think you will like the full version once it is ready. I need to finish 2 more songs, and then it will be available as part of my next album.

I will certainly provide the link here once it is ready.

[AM (UEVA)]

Really liked this one. The ambiance is great, and all of the synths you used here are perfect. All of the melodies are good, and those vocals man. This is just a very well crafted song.

I was hoping there was a bit more of a change at a certain point, but that's my only issue with it.

[Departures]

Very well made. The piano mixes with the chiptune in such a weird way. It just meshes together and somehow ads to the relaxing nature of the song. The mix is perfect imo. I was kind of hoping for it to evolve into something else though, but all of the chiptune ambiance was varied enough to make me lose track of time as I was listening to it, which is a good thing... I think. xD Keep it up!
