Xenon-Official's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Paper Skies & Speechrezz - Revolve]

incredibly done, professionally mastered, amazing. Where did you learn to mix and master so well?

PaperSkies responds:

Been producing for 6 years now with a super strong focus on mixing. Glad you enjoyed!~

[Gouns - Pandemonium]

frequensphere and evilwave are both
incredible

GounsMusic responds:

i agree!

[LavaDash]

you have potential, but any closer to fingerbang, you'd get copystriked.

JurielVayson responds:

Should I delete the Song?😶

[dysfunction]

Woaahh love that snare.

XEFSketch responds:

Over compressed resonant snares are pretty fun.

[interpret]

Growls totally remind me of Honesty and Time. Overall pretty cool. I feel like the drums could have been chosen better and there could have been sidechain, but sounds cool overall.

XEFSketch responds:

The growls in this track I initially made with Sytrus - it's a solid VST for gritty FM. After recording the growls in Edison, I re-sampled them in Harmor to get them more throaty and aggressive.

As far as the percussion, I was using cut-up samples from previous tracks and layering them with a kick & snare, giving it a kinda overly noisy feel. I wanted the synth to overpower the percussion to set a mood I was going for - even if it doesn't sound all to great haha.

Thanks for the feedback!

[honesty & time]

Hey, could I have the stems for a remix? Like the .flp file? Also both our names start with "Xe" lol.

XEFSketch responds:

I'm not sure if I've still got the file actually, I upgraded my laptop and stored the old hard drives somewhere. If I ever come across it, I'll remember to shoot it your way :>

If it's of any help, I used Harmor for all the growls and stuff.

[Pingu!]

Good arrangement but no sidechain. Also, are those growls ALL samples? Try making your own sometime.

Pulkanator responds:

Yes they are samples I arranged them in GMS, I did not redistrubute them they are from looperman, how ever I do create sounds all in GMS now so email me at [e-mail] if you have any questions... cya

[Changes]

The growls in this one are better, but you need to sidechain the first part lol. The kicks and snares are interfering with the growls. You can sidechain it by sending everything except the drums to a sidechain channel (just a regular mixer channel) and automate it so that whenever the kick hits, everything else's volume goes quiet for a split second. It really helps. The mixing is also subpar. Cut out the mids in alot of the growls and boost the highs in some.

Pulkanator responds:

broo that song is so old D:

[Tonight]

Sick, but is it side-chained? The basses are interfering with the drums.

Pulkanator responds:

I would say not, FL studio mobile does not have a good way for sidechain, I have tried automation but that is the best one shot on sidechain I can get right now broo

[another Melodic Dubstep attempt i guess]

Pretty good but, i heard a bass sample lol

DemonicNobility responds:

Lol they all VR samples but thanks
