MYYA's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Too Soon - NGADM Round 1!]

this actually tickles an itch in my brain I didn't know I had

GameBoyFireworks responds:

That's great to hear :) Thank you!!

[Beyond The Horizon]

really nice track! I have questions about the master though, I can hear a lot of strange compression... Other than that, it's rather solid, well composed and structured.

adelsoademir1 responds:

blame my composing skills xd

[ACROSS THE BELT]

I agree with the folks on the NGAP collab server, the composition of this song is really well done, and I suggest you write something for big band jazz. For mixing, learn the different ways to use a compressor. They work wonders!

YoannBB responds:

I did write 2 jazz-ish things for big band jazz 0_0 however they are a little bit older sadly. I also am lucky enough to have a friend who is really into electronic stuff so I'm learning mixing stuff thanks to him!

However uhhh I'm really sorry but what's the NGAP Collab server? ._.

Oops ok I just had to search a bit more, I now know what it is!

[Mix-N-Match'n]

Long ways to go, but we all start somewhere. Hang in there!

OnyxGalaria responds:

Thanks for the advice!
Again, I might just stick to drawing but I'll take those servers into consideration!

[Detious - Frozen Dusk]

This is solid trance! Cool stuff!

DetiousMusic responds:

Thank you! :D

[Nuclear Breath]

The harmony is cool, but gets repetitive towards the end where it starts to loop a bunch. I really like the sound design in the beginning, but it also gets repetitive towards the end. I would have loved for this piece to morph continuously as it goes, that would make it really special.

SeiZa responds:

You're absolutely right. I'm just still not sure how I would make it morph as I only learned how to produce and mix music since 2022.
But I'd be interested to hear any suggestions. My first thought was to make a tape effect to it. Perhaps if I pick it back up I'll try that... will post it if successful

[Whasha Wan (w/ Floood)]

Ok this is really well made and a super compelling progression of elements. Bravo!

Retiu responds:

thank youuuu <33

[Detious - Vain]

That reese is CHUNKY
nice groove, cool atmos, good mix, good composition
really cool stuff!

DetiousMusic responds:

Thank you so much!!

[What U Need]

All your tracks are so well crafted and clean

ImCold responds:

thank youu

[Hollow]

Compositionally, I like the progression of this song a lot but I'm mostly going to complain about the distortion. IMO it's overdone and it's slamming your mix into a wall. A good mix of LIGHT distortion, compression, EQ, and whatnot are more than enough to make your track loud and huge, while also allowing you to control dynamics, transients, clarity, etc.

Also consider putting a reverb tail on the chopped synth stack to give it a little space and fit in the mix better. That's just a tasteful thing I would do, though.

You have very good ideas and compositional skills, give them room to breathe.

Galaxea responds:

thank you for the advice !
I'll follow this in the future
just remember that I work on a shitty app (garageband) that doesn't even have (good) plugins in it but still.
i'll remember this !
thanks
