Handym's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[~Teddy Bear~]

This goes in the dance section

your effects are far too loud and the song is a bit chaotic.
Crowd sounds are overdone.
Work on some variation instead of the same melody playing over and over.
7/10
3/5

Well I prefer focusing on listening the song than thinking about its section geez...

[Bells Rap Beat]

i like it

im not really sure it needs to be as long as it is however, you have a decent theme going but as the song progresses i still hear the same main melody running.
t'is a good song though.

[hip hop/piano (untitled)]

Well, you could have...

...
no, fuck it, i've got nothing on this song

["pain for purpose"]

Quite different

I know how you usually make calm and simple beats, but like the other people said, it feels like something is missing.
When i first hit the play button, i sort of expected to hear a high pitched pluck sound with lots of reverb in the background. What i notice is that a good atmosphere is one that has at least 2-3 pads or ambiences playing at once.
The trick is to have multiple melodies merge eachother so that it only sounds like 1, and that those instruments are balanced well with eachother.

What i did like about it was the cue that starts at around 01:33, where the electric piano instrument gives a warm background noise that progresses the song.

I wish i could give you better input and a higher score, i might hop on later and comment again when i am in the mood for it... i'll be sure to give better feedback

Usually 10's are few and far between from my side

you did a good job though man. perfect.

[*seasons change*]

Well done.

As usual, there are a few issues with the EQ/mastering of the song, especially on your bass pad. However, baby steps, your melodies are great and chillaxing :P
You've got great potential, and you should consider making music for video games or movies.

You need more of a special personal watermark to your songs but they're definetly very artistic and in my opinion deserve a lot more attention than they get now. Although i haven't released any of my conceptual projects yet, usually i try to put as much variation into the hi-hats, rides and rolls as possible. Your basslines are just damn sexy, although they sound a little dim. Not much, but slightly. Try using EQ boost on the high end freq. Also, try to use more filters and automation clips to make your songs sound better. Without them, your songs will sound dull and repetitive, and you'll end up sending the wrong message with the music. It's not that it ruins your songs, but there will always be room for improvement. Anyway, criticism and feedback aside, i give you a 5/5 9/10, cause you did a great job as always, and i look forward to more ambient trance songs of yours.

Cheers,
Handym
