phosphorusprocedure's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[King Wizard - Three's Up]

I like where this is going. Really intense minimalism. I think the kick is clipping a bit (check the volume there, see if it's not red-lining or anything), and the snares could probably come out a little bit (to keep up that fierceness). Maybe mess with the velocity on the individual drum hits so it doesn't sound so robotic, and also, maybe try smaller rhythmic subdivisions, since all the drum hits I heard going on in there sounded the exact same amount of time apart. Play with the space in between each sound. I dunno. It's a promising start, I bet if you keep messing around with it, something badass could pop out of it. Fuck it, I dig it.

thank you I'll work on it

I dig the drum pattern, very busy. The melody/accomp part sounds kinda chopped, but I'm not sure if you were chopping wav files or midi files. Either way, it sounds really cool. Loved whatever happened at 1:18.

TheGameReapa responds:

thanks bro

[Anime Tits]

THOSE 4CAT CHORD PROGRESSIONS, I LOVE IT. Drums are pretty sweet too. This is so Stevie.

[To Dust]

This is too good, man. Those freaking drums.

BOULLIE responds:

WHERE YOOOU BEEN!?!?!?

Thanks tho

Flow reminds me of Diverse. Lots of cool multi-syllabic stuff going on. Love the beat. I could definitely listen to more of you rapping.

B-RadGfromOV responds:

Thanks! I'll have to record more!

[unarmed and fabulous]

Where'd you get those choir sounds from? They sound dope!

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

Magnus Choir VST, man. You just bring the attack down to 0 and the release down to 0, too. It's a nice VST and I love the sound that comes out of it.

[Rising 7 (Not Sure If)]

OOH sounds like Big Poppa. Really smooth vibe going on. I think the hi hats in the 2nd half were a bit loud, but otherwise I really dug the drum sounds. Synths sounded very warm and elegant.

xxxZigZagxxx responds:

True that. Thanks for the feedback, I'm re-editing the song right now.

[.annihilator.]

Ooh, I dig it. The lead synths remind me of 1997-era Boards of Canada, while the drums remind me of the retro zones from Super Meat Boy. Really cool combination. Mixed really well, too. Good shit, man.

VegetarianMeat responds:

I love Boards of Canada. Definitely a favorite of mine, so your comparison here makes me feel good, heh!

Thanks!

[Aphelion]

I like those cool Elektrobank-esque traffic noises throughout. The ocean splashing was an interesting touch. It was odd how the ocean wasn't panned much at all (so I visualized staring right out into the ocean, scarcely moving), but lots of the low-frequency stuff was panned quite extremely, which gave me the sensation that I was spinning around in a room as I was listening to it (this sound is in my left ear, now it's in my right ear, etc), and the 2 sensations felt at odds at certain points. That might just be flanger or something. I have no idea. I would imagine listening to this on speakers would sound amazing.

Mich responds:

Hey, thanks!

Those noises and ocean splashing are a result of a whole bunch of LFO linking in Native instruments' Massive; I was't trying to emulate any particular sound there, just going with what sounded nice to me. So there was no particular intention for it to sound like ocean waves or anything. I've had that comment before though.

I have indeed played with some stereo manipulation for some of the sounds here, mostly in the form of heavy re-verbs and phasers. I may have over-done it a bit.

I personally think it does sound decent on speakers, yeah. =)

Thanks muchly for the review, and I'm glad you liked it!
