ESHRR's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Double Down]

I liked the trap drop at 2:16

[ESHRR - BURN IN HELL (VIGUR REMIX)]

Bro, that drop was way better than anything I could make.

[Limitless Sky]

Melodicly and structurally, this sounds really good! I'm really only docking off 1/2 a star for technical reasons. During the drops, the kick drum is very quiet and the mix gets just a little cluttered. To fix the kick drum issue, try sidechain ducking the audio of the bass and synths to the kick to give the song a pumping motion and to give the kick some room to punch through. And to fix the mix in the drops, make sure to EQ out unnecessary frequencies (like cutting the lows out of leads and other non-bass synths) and maybe adjusting some clashing frequency ranges between the different synths. You can also experiment a little with gain staging and moving some components to different parts of the stereo field. Overall, this is a great start!

ElectroFireMusic responds:

Omg thank you! I really have a hard time with the EQ, I understand how to use it, I just always forget it. I recently had this song listened to two Labels, (One of them being Monstercat), they both passed, but it took them a LONG TIME to respond, so I know I was doing something wrong, but I couldn't tell what. Next song drop I hope soon, I always forget I have a Newgrounds, so hopefully I remember and maybe it'll be better 👍🏼

Thank youuu! ❤️

[The Birth of the Darkness]

Great for your first song on NG! The instrumental is good and the drops are pretty neat! Try to add a little more variation in the sound design for the drop. That would be my only dislike with the song.

[2. Enlighted (feat. Wings of Ash)]

Damn good song. Is this Wings of Ash guy famous or something?

Linearity responds:

I wish

[Zeddius - Sunny Side Up]

You're really improving! This sounds great. I love the vibe of this song! Keep it up!

Zeddius responds:

Thanks for the feedback. Looking forward to- actually nevermind.

[I Get It]

I’m in block J with you for the next round of NGADM 2023! I love the sound of this! This block of the competition is so interesting. I’m up against you, an indie rock producer, a guy who does ambient, and a jazzy fusion artist. But I do heavy metal fusion edm. This will be an interesting round! Good luck!

Edit: Guess they redid the blocks. Still though, good luck!

[Zeddius - Era of Light]

I like the sound design in the drop! Kinda lost the drums a bit, but still very good!

Zeddius responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I always appreciate someone trying to help out. Also funny thing, the 'sound design' in the drops are just sliced up bass loops (obviously that I'm allowed to use). This was only really a quick song, very empty, but thanks again for the feedback!
