BASCUTI's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Waves]

neat song. if i have to say any thing its that the bass sound should be playing bass notes instead of mid notes. also a bit of sub bass would go a long way. you should have a little more variety in your instrumentation as well, using more melodies and sounds. for pros however, the mixing is solid and the kick sounds nice.

DJNinjaStar responds:

Thanks, I will surely consider all of that for my next songs to come! Hope you at least enjoyed it :)

[Azure]

honestly not horrible. if i could give a few tips -
1. this isn't dubstep lol. more like ambient house
2. its really repetitive. go a little crazier with your melodies
3. It could be mixed better

If there is one tip I always give beginners its to watch beat making youtubers. not just tutorials but also their normal videos as well, as you can naturally pick up a lot of stuff doing that.

Scouted BTW.

TerrariumGMD responds:

Thank You! thank you for the tips and yeah i agree with you

[Negative Desert]

personally not a fan of this type of music, but the score on this song is criminally low. well produced and certainly interesting.

Synami responds:

Thanks for being honest. I feel like practically anything can get higher than 4 stars on here so it was surprising to see a 2.7 lol

[Resolve]

catchy! could have benefited from just a bit more saturation/distortion and loudness on the bassline to make it more DnB like (not to much though). also you should be a little more playful with your hi hats, maybe even add some rides as well.

FirechompGD responds:

Thanks!

[iGerman - Pussy]

incredible title. the vocals feel a little out of tune but that's about it. great track!

[Star Chasing]

Solid, but lacks presence, if your going for minimal drums then said drums should hit a little harder. also the synth would sound better if you added a stereo shaper to it.

[BrainETR - Calamity]

Pretty solid! could use some better sound selection, mainly with the drums, as well as some sidechain for the kick. piano sounds great but is a bit loud for the mix.

Edit: just saw you use garage band, you should probably invest in a better DAW as garage band is fairly limiting lol.

BrainETR responds:

Yeah due to GarageBand the first two criticisms are a bit hard for me to get around, especially since GarageBand only has like 10 drum kits and no sidechain feature lol. Tbh GarageBand isn’t as painful to use as people say it is tho, and since I don’t make music too often, I’m proud of what I’ve been able to make using it and don’t really feel like paying for a better DAW that I prolly won’t use that much

[Eliminate - Walk Away (Paper Skies Remix)]

wow, I don't even know how to start on this one.....

...so I won't. great song lol

[*:[GH]:* "Epileptic]

the sound design is actually pretty good for what you were going for but it overall is far too random and incoherent. also i'm not entirely sure that audio can send people into epileptic shock but idk.

GregHeffley2039 responds:

Try to improve my music base, watching tutorials :)

[Kyori - Save Me]

pretty vibey intro. the octave shifted vocals are pretty harsh thou. drop also could be better
