PotangNG's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Alphabet Radio 2]

Maybe try out raising the vocals of the singers (other than the mom lol) cause it's kinda hard to hear them! Also, look into some scales and chord stuff, it'll help you create better melodies that mesh well together!

xdfhgrghxfg responds:

OK! :D

[Silly story | AlexSUS the game opening theme]

Nice opening theme! I'd suggest looking into scales and trying to use those, it'll help make the notes of the song feel more matched together!

CristoferGamer96 responds:

Gracias, la verdad si quiero estudiar bien la teoria musical para hacer algo que no se escuche tan chirriante y se escuche mas uniforme, de momento esto es algo como una prueba que hice en fl sin saber nada de musica ni del programa, este ost sera para un juego de broma que quiero sacar el 1 de abril XD

[Talking Objects Intro Music (2022)]

I like the riff! Maybe consider raising the other instruments' volumes up, or putting a compressor on the drums to make it a little softer!

EwanDog responds:

Thanks!

[Flowering Forest Town Theme.mp3]

Sounds very chiptuney! Only thing I can think of is possibly lowering the volume of the drums. I really love how this song feels, I can totally imagine this as a town theme song! I also do love the chiptune choice. The song's a bit quiet though, you can easily raise the volume of this without running into any clipping problems!

BlueHairedBoy13 responds:

I lowered the drum volume and they’re still loud ._.
Thx for the feedback though
Updated it at some point btw

[Deserted (New Mix)]

I love the Synpluck plucks from FLEX that you're using! Look into some compression for the plucks, you can compress them all a bit and then raise the volume of the track!

MrFishyFishy responds:

Thanks! I'll certainly look into that for my next egyptian-style song.

[Pico Game Over (Week 6 UST)]

Ay man pretty good! You did a great job with compression, but it seems like you forgot to increase the volume! You could easily increase the volume by a couple of decibels without clipping. Only other feedback would be that it seems a bit too happy and goofy to be a game over theme, but I'm still a rookie at music so maybe I'm wrong lol.

Keep posting music, once you hit like 3 or 4 music pieces posted I could try and scout you into the audio portal!

Edit: LOL
Edit 2: YEAHHHH there we go now we talking

Jazty responds:

Thank you kind sir

[Nespro]

Not the typical genre I listen to, but well done! It sounds really chill, almost like the pause menu songs in some games. Can't give any feedback because you're 10 times better than me, but all I can say is great job!

Psilenth responds:

I have just been doing this longer. I have been doing this for 12 years consistently. I spent a lot of time experimenting, learning, scouring the internet for tutorials and courses talking to other producers. I’m not a prodigy I was not born musically gifted. I just kept doing it because I loved it.

[Boss∞]

I like the melody! I think the sound selection could be a bit better, and maybe some bigger drums. This is a boss song, so it should sound EPIC and HUGE! Try some heavier synths, and maybe even experiment with a choir? Who knows, do what sounds good to you! Good job!

Broccoplant responds:

I did actually add a choir! It's subtle bcs the software wouldn't let me make it louder :,/. Thanks for the feedback!

[Recheck [NGUAC '24 KO]]

Coming here from the review for review thread... I'm not sure how to review this! It's already pretty amazing! When I listened, I couldn't really find anything to criticize! I definitely love the drums and bass, and the loudness is really good! I still haven't learned how to do that. If I had to suggest anything, I would add a little more variety to the energy of the track, as there's not much variation in the song. Great job!

Edit: yeah loudness. My song previously always were like -18 LUFs

Kz-N responds:

what do you mean with how to do that? if its the drums and the bass then its really only trying a lot until something sticks and using that as a base for future projects (like i did here), as of loudness i really don't reccomend you push for loudness as i personally have banged my head on the wall so many times by my mixes being ruined by it, so it really is something that you should hone in with patience (i am speaking as if i have worlds of experience but really im just saying to do better than me lmao), thank you a lot for your review, i really appreciate it!

[Undertale His theme (Rundi remix)]

OH MY GOSH THIS IS AMAZING! The drop is PERFECT!
Only feedback I have is the piano and drop lead. The piano I feel like might sound cooler if it were softer, maybe try a soft piano like Spitfire LABs Soft Piano?

And the drop chiptune sounds too thin at parts. Not sure if it's just me.

Only other complaint is that it's so short! I'd love to hear an extended version!

RUNDAI1 responds:

I tried to do something with the chords, but these notes are completely from the original. I was surprised to hear the rather unpleasant bars 1 and 3.
