Towny's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Before I leave]

The way you sing reminds me of King Krule, and I like that. Nice vibrato on the guitar, too. What kind of distortion is that? (in the first song). The combination sounds so good

VibrantMan responds:

The distortion comes from my Peavy Spyder IV, not sure the exact preset or effect.

[Aweror - The Discovery]

Sounds a bit too crowded at some points, but other than that I like it. The stereo spacing is really nice

EDIT: I listened to it a second time, and I realized I left my sound card's compressor on the last time I listened to this. Whoops! Well, now that I can hear it clearer, it doesn't sound as crowded frequency-wise. There's still just a lot going on, which isn't exactly my cup of tea for ambient tracks, but that's just a personal taste of mine. I don't think objectively it needs to change at all

Aweror responds:

definitely sounds a bit crowded I agree. probably too much reverb. I'll keep that in mind for the future, thanks :)

[LifeStyle]

I've never liked poppy-dance sounding stuff, but objectively it's really well put together.

"Keep the pace of the human race, I'm twice the man that I was yesterday", idk why but I really like that line

I'm not a fan of instrumentals, they always feel unfinished. It would be so much better with some rapping over it, since that's your strong suit IMO. But I won't lie, it's pretty well done for what it is. The beat slaps. The synth strangely reminds me of the Runescape soundfont from back in the day

[Heavy Drop D Version 2]

This one's better than version 1, it sounds fuller in tone, but it still sounds a little dry... The guitar playing itself is great, but the mixing needs some work

goblinbumpgang responds:

Thanks man! Yeah a lot of the original audio files were poorly recorded years ago, so trying to get them even semi-clean was a chore. But thank you for the feedback!

[DJ Ses - No Emotion (Produced By Kenshi Muzik)]

I feel like Trap is a genre that doesn't leave a lot of room to be unique, and I'll say that the beat here reflects that, cause it's a bit same-sounding. But the way you're spittin these verses totally steals the show. Your flow is really unique, and it changes up a lot. Verse 1 is definitely my favorite, especially when that delay effect hits. It's wild, It sounds like you had a lot of fun with it.

Hell of a return, welcome back dude

[2019]

I love off-beat shit like this. It just sounds really cool. It goes on a bit too long, but then again I'm impatient as fuck with music, so it's probably about the right length

Syntrus responds:

Nephew.

[Grim Reaper]

This slaps. Always good to see some talent coming outta hampton roads

Teqneek responds:

Thanks man you da bess

[Intro/Wait Here]

fuckin' cool song

GameBoyFireworks responds:

Thanks Towny!

[donnieish]

Good shit, I really love how the synth is always hanging on quietly from the last note it plays. Good mixing too, every sound seems to knows its place. Overall it's just really beautiful, especially the moments when the chords change the tension in the atmosphere. Great job

fleepis responds:
