NKAT's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[BN's reign(Proze diss)]

camera crue

ok the beat and stuff is better than a lot of stuff I hear, here and pro. The mastering sucks bad. The vocals are on the verge of clipping and are rate loud, turn them down and mix them better into it all. Work on your vocal tone, it is nasal and trebley, i want to hear more track but less vocals. That tone = joke rap and the track is to serious for that. Track wise, keep it up - Mastering = no thanks - vocals are meh! - do more with the weird changes in the song, v.game stuff at end is great but i need backbeats. WTF 3:10 = diff song. Creativity flows but channel it better, no worries....

Broken-Needle responds:

lmao, word up man I might jus re-record this in due time, I recorded it when half my family's sleeping so my apologies. You definetely layed it out perfect for me so when I do re-record I'ma make sure everything u said will b fixed=) anyway thanks 4 the review man
Keep it pimpin'

this would not pass for current DnB but it is generally nice. It needs something else, maybe a more fat bassline. Need a reference for up-to-date DnB - check bassdrive.com - all live DJ's from all over the fine planet. They have your answer. Good work though.

P.S. I need more chaos and some asskicking hardcore DnB sounds mate!

oddfellowfloyd responds:

*nods* I know it's different, that was goal last night, to write something a tad out-there; I've never written 'glitchy' stuff before, so it took forever to slice up those drums, but worth it in the end, I'd say, eh?

I can putz about with bass synths and see what I conjure up. :P

Thank you for the constructive criticism, mate!

Peace always,

All or none

8 because all this is nicely done. DO you have the Amen in there really slow and distorted lol? I would like to hear a DnB track with this style. Random and nicely done all around. Ima check your other stuff, do the same for me. Thanks for this.

Kados responds:

You nailed it, Amen Brother :D At that time I didn't know where it originated from, or how widely it's used. Now I revere it more, and use it less.
You sure made a lot of valuable music, thus I'm happy about your positive opinion. Gonna listen to them, but takes a while lol.

Thx for the post, peace

[Altered State Of Mind - Take 2]

Progression

progression of your technique from part 1 to this is noticable. This sounds like a Sim City 4 song, or a chill version of Command & Conquer Red Alert sound track. Very pro here. I don't know - bad: maybe some drum reverb is much but honestly I like it and i get your intentions with it and why it is there - I dont think u can change that without compromising the rest of the song. good: the synth, pads/layers are excellent. Half this music making process is simply just picking out sounds that go together. You are a natural at this im guessing... it shows. well done.

The-MickMad responds:

;) really thank you...actually it's right what u said, I spent most of the time on searching the right sounds...the rest just came by itself :)

[Killer on a newspaper]

Kill me

the beats are cool, but have a lot of reverb on them. I use Reason, and this is an awesome technique, but it has to be tightened up a little here. I like your vocal samples at the begin (NN-19?). Def a DnB drum beat but not what I hear on BassDrive.com. Also after finishing the song, the reverb or delay or sumthing seems to muddle up the track a little. Again, controlling this better can tighten this up. Enjoyable overall though, I will want to hear more of your songs.

The-MickMad responds:

thanks :)

btw yeah I tagged this as a DnB piece 'tho I'd tag this as experimental, because I actually don't do DnB, rather I make what I think it's sounding "cool" at least for me xD

and yah, after a more thoughtful listening, I should dampen and lower that beat reverb a lil more... you can clearly hear that at the very beginning of the song...

btw the ending "muddy effect" was meant to be like that, but yeah it should be a little more defined and longer-lasting...

and yeah, that's a nn19 :)

thanks again for the nice and well criticizing review...if u want to listen more from me, you should check out Altered State of Mind and ASOM Take 2 (which I did in a time span of one year or so :P u could clearly listen my musical evolution and also my reason technique growing up ;) ), and also u should check my latest submissions which is Yeah Yeah...

Peace,

Sounding

sounds all good. It sounds easy to make, no much going on but all good. Snare is loud.

[[buyj3llo] - 15]

Haha yeah!

hihats are loud. Drum placement is good. Background noises are sweet. Groove is good. You are like me, maybe a melody is missing....and maybe the groove isn't very clean....the groove's intention is there but it is not 100% clear. I like this a lot man. Ima check out your stuff some more, see mine, u might like =D

buyj3llo responds:

wow, thanks. That means a lot coming from you. I love your stuff.
