CrimsonKero's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Mall Castle (After Hours)]

I like that you had fun making this, but the mix sounds muddy and I cannot make out the lyrics. The vocalist's lyrics are drowned out in her own echoes.

Also, I couldn't find your song in the final collab. I don't fully know why they didn't include it.

UPDATE: I can sort of hear it now, but barely. For future reference, make sure the vocals are perfectly legible before you add delay + reverb (and even then keep clarity in mind), then duck the instruments behind the vocals.

2nd update: Actually, I think I was wrong: It is in the collab: Just credited as Dekaeo (an alt). My mistake.

MilkClock responds:

Firstly If there was something wrong with the mix the project lead would have notified me before compiling it, which by the way yes it actually was in the compilation, ic u have now realized that. Secondly this mixing style is intentional and is a throwback to 2007-2010 era synthpop, drowned out lyrics and everything. Third I actually did type out the lyrics which have been there since the upload, not that I owe anyone any of that.

It's kind of funny that you think you need to tell me about what my own name is like I don't know. Anyway, for future reference pls first gather all the facts or it makes your criticism look weak / motivated by some ulterior objective.

[Chocnoon - You Ran Away (DCLXIV)]

CDLXII = 462.
Typo or reupload?

[Epic Time Is Cartoon Time! | 1 | Portal Punks]

Ooh, new podcast. And starring two of the PukeBomb dudes. How wonderful, I'm already hooked.

Just a few bits: Could do with some timestamps for when each submission is first discussed.

Maybe this is just a "me" problem, but with super-long videos or podcasts, I prefer skipping to the good parts, and timestamps help. You have done this with your previous podcasts though.

Aalasteir responds:

Thank you so much! Yes, we will try to include timestamps in Episode 3!

[Dinner Clown]

This is a very funny parody ad.

I'm making a GTA-style video game (wouldn't be out for a while), and I'd like to use this as an in-game radio commercial.

I may need to shorten it and swap the music out, you OK with that?

SadManNicc responds:

I don't mind, long as you give credit I don't care one way or another. Would you like the file without the music?

Edit: oh wait my bad, there's only one iteration without music and its an earlier recording of the Dinner Clown voice. Sorry

[The Town With No Name - Main Theme (Remake)]

Another ear-splitting hit from The Jester. Great work!

TheMusicalManiac responds:

Wowie!! I didn't expect a comment from you, on this track of all places..!! Thank you so so much!!

[The NG Mall Music Collab]

Woahowahwaiwait. FIRST NG mall music collab?
You mean there's gonna be another one of this?

LBnewgr0unds responds:

from what i've heard yeah probably!! if so ill definitely be submitting a longer piece ._.''

[Look to the Future]

Awesome!

It seems like you achieved a lot in just this one song.

It's still sort-of structured like techno, but uses a wide range of acoustic instruments like the mandolin (as acoustic as you can get) It also has a nice upbeat melody.

The only thing I can suggest is that the drums, although you say they're 'less electronic sounding', they don't really have a lot of variation, especially past the 38-second mark. Still very 808-esque.

Thumbs up for listing the time spent:

PotangNG responds:

You make a great point with the drums! That is something I tend to get lazy on, I'll have to remember to add more variation in my future songs (not the next one, I accidentally finished that one already). Thanks!

[200+ BPM Collab]

Great collab as always, though could use some breaks in between some of the tracks.

I really like the block between timestamps 7:09 and 9:43

Charlmot responds:

The transitions were too fast you could say

[Chocnoon - Through My Life (DXXV)]

Is it just me or are you starting off each song with the same cymbal crash each time?

darkmangopsychology responds:

Maybe it's just you.
