KeanyGD's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[The Big Black 8-Bit Cover]

Sounds are simple and unclear, lacks that speedcore feel and occasionalaly the lead bugs out and sounds like its been cut in half, really could do with better more snappy drums rather than that bassy boi, also i dont like the gd reference, id rather it said what it did originally, overall it needs work but ill give it 2 and a half stars :) have a good day

[Dubstep Hero]

Your right, it isnt brilliant. the intro is one of those dreamy openings from a skrillex song, or just as good, but the drop is so hard to hear because of bad mixing and too loud white noise, Take this into consideration for next time :)

Thanks ^_^

[Domyeah - ToE 3]

Seems everyone else likes it, and i had high hopes, but it just let me down, the melody is one of the catchiest things ever, and i love it, every pattern you used was superb, but musician to musician, it wasnt brilliant. The lead, i can understand prehaps you were going for a style, but it just sounds like an old yamaha keyboard. probably my least favourite part, was the drums, fl studio has some good legacy drums, but any of the _basic ones are pretty bad, besides the basic club hat, which is used in many house songs and sounds ok, i also noticed the lack of a sub bass which is really important, therefore makes your music feel weak without it, and also sidechain your drums, they were a bit musty and left out in my opinion, the last thing i dont like is how the main lead, which is a pretty good trance lead, seems to be fighting for dominance and isnt very clear, nor does it blend well with the yamaha sounding thing from before, overall, it has good potential, that melody and tune is world class, its like the scary monsters and nice sprites of newgrounds, but your instruments need better sound design, serum is good for this and your mixing skills are, well next to none to be honest, i reccomend fruity parimetric eq 2 for eq ing, to get rid of unwanted frequencies and bring out that hard to hear bass.

I hope this review helps you, and i know this is older, and you have moved on, but this is most likley your most popular. I dont see how people think that the official is not as good as this, but prehaps because they dont actually make music and are just GD fanboys, they dont really understand the way it was made as much, i have expressed my honest feelings about the music here, thank you for your time

(Sorry for being that one person who diddnt give high scores xD)

Have a good day, anyone who reads this :)

[Milk Drops]

Dosent sound really anything like the fat rat to be honest, but its pretty cool nonetheless. The mixing could be better but overall im pretty impressed seings that im only a year older than you, nice work, keep it up and have a good day :)

[Globglogabgalab Remix [Red]]

Definitley red. This is amazing. Splendid. DELiGHtFul. You incorporated the vocals in such a dependant way thet the instrumental dosent sound right without them, its missing something. I know the globgogabgalab is somewhat a meme, and i am sad enough to shwabble up and down my roon for an eternity learning the lyrics.... for.... 'it'... and 'you reposted in the wrong trousers' by hourofpoop too. I showed my mom this in the morning because she really loves i got no time, and then she heared this and... well it was pretty funny if you ask me. I have one question however. Does the vocals that happen around 1:20 have inspiration from the vocals from 'Workshop Beat' by alfinch? They sound pretty similar.

Overall very delicious job
☺
Have a splendid day

[Baldi's Basics Remix!]

No remixing in the halls! (I think we can make the exception here)

[Love [Geometry Dash Version]]

The melody is nice. Its almost relaxing. But that sounds like fl keys, or some bad alternative. Try Keyzone Classic. Its free and realistic. A lot of the low score is due to the use of legacy FL sounds. Dont use them. Especially unedited. Im sure i used that growl in a project i never finished, thats another nice point. Also prehaps look at some tutorials about how to sidechain properly because its easy and makes a vast diffrence to your music. Add more background noise, like white noise which you can get from cymatics terror drums. I hope this review helps you. Have a good day :)

[[As] Tobuscus Dubstep (RMX)]

2000th vote and i gave it a five. One of the best things i ever heared

[Dubstep Machine X]

I dont really like it. Idk why. Ill try and explain. The drums are really bad and i cant hear any sidechaining, or at least, its pretty weak. Theres no melody to it, just the basis of an arp with some sound that sounds like its from sonic.exe playing out of tune in the background. Another thing is that the drop is actually the quietest part, turn up the volume there aswell. You have to really think about where the notes go, theyre so scrambled and painful to listen to, also, what did you use for the drop, it sounds pretty basic, some serum here and there couldnt go a miss, but if you dont have that there are plenty of alternatives, i hope this helps you improve, have a good day :)

[Derpcat - Humanity]

Glad im following you. Very Xtrullor ish. I actually think he would quite like it! What plugins and presets (unless you make your own) do you use? I would quite like to invest in them to make things as flippin good as this :) heres 5 stars, im looking forward to your next track

DerpcatOfficial responds:

The plugins i use for the basses is actually harmor lol
and for the non xtrullor ish style i use serum to more like au5 or Virtual riot style But mostly harmor for everything from plucks to chords to everything else lol and if you want a basic tutorial about the "famous Phase Bass" lol you can add me on discord and join my discord server i answer on everything ;)
