IKONiC's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Intereo - God's love [demo]]

great!

I liked that first melody that was coming in! Definitely throws you off a little bit when the percussion coming in - which is good. Only complaint I would have is that your basses are weak. Very weak. Keep it up man. I liked this. :)

Bazezone responds:

Thank you. I'm not very good to make everything sound very great.. ;/

[PdG - House (question mark)]

WOWOWOASDOAJ

lol. I forgot abuot this song. I had reworked loads of shit in it for you! I completely forgot to send it back man! There are things that I really, really like about it. Should've sent you the reworked version. :P ma bad :) Good stuff. :) Repost the finished version one day :)

Prodigal responds:

What's the finished version going to be like.

[Our World {durn}]

Good job budday

Ahh, this is amazing, although I wish it was mixed and mastered a little bit better. The lows are overpowering the highs. That or, your highs just aren't loud enough. The track has some energy. It's a nice listen. Really enjoying it.
Nice breakdown with the plucks. Again, After listening to this, I would've toned down your bass / pads and turn up the leads. They're amazing but they get drowned out. I even cut the bass on my monitors and thought the same thing. Either way, great track.

Loved it. Very funk-house / Daft Punkesque feel to this song.

durn responds:

aw, but I love the bass. however, agreed about the mastering. I didn't even do the studio monitor test on this one I was so incensed to get it out. :d I'll not be so lazy next time, eh ;)

thanks for the listen, duder. :D

[CKC - How To Kill A Trancik]

This is alright

I like the melodies alot. This has a good vibe man. I just think that you could change the one synth 0:27. The track would become more powerful if you put a nice layered saw with a chorus and lowpass - Just my opinion though.

Otherwise, the piano really has that dark feeling, but the full feeling of the track doesn't really give off this "hate" feel. Maybe vary the percussion a little bit also. I liked this track. Here, if you want some tips or want to get in touch with some very professional people that can help you out with hiphop, send me a PM. Just here to help. :)

Keep it up!

CKC2009 responds:

[Break The House Down (Remix)]

Sorry it took so long

Liking that main synth alot. I think that the track is really mellow, only thing is that I find it to be repetitive and frankly, lacking a few elements. Oh well, great track, I really enjoyed this one. I would definitely get a thicker, fuller bass though :)

Syztm responds:

Haha no problem man, thanks a lot :)

[Para - stretsoF]

Fucking beast

Loved the drop man. Great track man. That bass is sooooo sexy. :)

[|MP| Winter Preview]

Read.

Preview is spelled with an E not an I but it's ok.

MuzikProd responds:

lol, ill fix that

[Mags]

:3 good stuff

Liked it lots man. Lots of emotion in the track. Only thing is that I would probably keep the piano a little bit more dry and cut a touch on the reverb imo oO

[Poker Face (C&S)]

kk cool

Your work is alright... But audio editing like that ain't too hard. I mean, you didn't even write the melodies or anything like that. You basically just butchered a decent song and upped the bass levels which wasn't even necessary. If you at least remixed this, it could be better. Not only that, but this kind of submission isn't even allowed on Newgrounds. It's copyright infringement since you didn't change enough of the song to call it your own.

[Toronto Sunrise {durn}]

hey der dude

love the synths used man. They're great and they really fit. Overall, this song is really good. I liked the guitar riffs. Makes the song seem a little more videogamish, which is good.

Keep it up man. If I wasn't bent over crookedly on this keyboard attempting to watch tv, lie down and type, i'd write you a longer review where I wouldn't have to worry about constant typos. <3

durn responds:

lol, thanks man. too bad a few zero-bombers thought otherwise. :D
