S0MBRASOUNDS's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[No Escape II]

This is quite an impressive piece. Love the blend of the chiptune elements that are included in the mix alongside the metal and dnb. Very detailed, transitions are excellent, melodic work is varied and interesting, and the mixing is also solid. I could sit here and nitpick things, but with something at the quality level of this, I really don't think it's necessary

Thank you so much!

I can tell you're just starting out, so definitely things to work on, but there are still things I enjoy about it. The pads and such in the intro are ominous and cool. The intro does sound empty though, like more needs to be happening to fill out the mix more. Some kind of soft bassy element like a soft droning reece in the intro could help. The elements you have could be louder, and some reverbed out background elements would create a better atmosphere. I REALLY like that arp that fades in during the build.

The drop has an effective, basic flow, and some of the sound design is cool, it's just an execution thing for me. The drums could use more saturation and compression because right now they don't really have much punch under the drop synths. The drop synths themselves are a little thin. I would like to hear you try something lower pitched with them. Some distortion, compression, reverb could help them be thicker, and more riveting

So yeah, some decent aspects to this, but I do think improvement could be made on the execution/mixing front
