GrapheneKid's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[WASTED]

Really on the loud side for my tastes but the melodies are nice. I like the way you autotuned the vocals

[Mami-Ice(W.I.P.)]

Not bad. The beat is definitely a bit muted. I can't offer much technical feedback since House is not a genre I know a lot about but the melody here is neat and it's always good to keep practicing

[Swagless]

I love love LOVE the pad behind this entire beat, so ethereal, like an entire woodscape covered in frost and blanketed with fog.

[Deepening Confusion [Jamuary 2024]]

Pretty sweet ambient track. Nice use of reverb and SFX.

[Robot Factory]

14 seconds is an interesting approach to Jamuary. Only time will tell if it works out for you or not but this is a pretty fun drum beat. I like the crispiness on the kick

[I'll be there]

If sick hiphop beats are ever made illegal I will be blaming you personally. :D

Also whatever that "crunching" sound is on the right channel...god I love it lmao it has so much texture

Casper responds:

I should be put.. behind bars

[Mutated Lab - Jamuary #2]

Sounds pretty cool as a level in a video game. The drums could use some work though. The kick is too quiet but the cymbals are a little too loud. Not too bad otherwise!

[Jazzman | Jazz | Royalty Free Instrumental + MIDI |]

Feels very jam-like, minimal and there isn't a super cohesive structure but the keyboarding is very playful and entertaining. When I was a kid and I was at a friend's house who had a piano I would always just start mashing random keys and doing all sorts of bullshit. You manage to play with that same wonder and enthusiasm but there is clear technical skill behind what you're doing. That's not always an easy balance to strike.

[2 - Recognize]

The buildup is a little slow but that drop makes it all worth it, everything here sounds so smooth. The distorted, bitcrushed bass sounds are my favorite, they sound so gritty and crunchy. Kickass guitar solo too. The wobbling synth is a surprisingly good addition to the mix. Just a real solid song overall that paints a really vivid picture for the listener.

Scareev responds:

thanks for the feedback again! indeed some people said about the build up being pretty slow, next time i will try making it shorter !!

[Poisonous Jam]

I think this feels a little disjointed overall, the two parts of this song don't really flow well together and don't have much in common thematically.

The dissonant chords are a bit goofy but they definitely grow on you.
