Tydusis's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Liquid Neon (Remaster)]

This is like perfect for Need for Speed or Midnight Club. Maybe even Unreal Tournament. I think it could use a little better mixing in some places. Then again, it would lack a bit of that "oldskool screamer" charm.

Everything up to 2:30 feels like it could make for a really epic loop. Overall, I like this. It's obviously not your best since it is an oldie, but I really do like songs that have that oldskool sound like this one does. It's refreshing to hear something that sounds like it's from 1999 minus the 8-bit samples.

Lashmush responds:

Yeah, I have tons of old modules like this (both my own and by other oldskool trackers) and it's weird how when I start listening to them they feel so outdated and flat but a minute or so into it, when the ears readjust, they sort of kick into effect and then they're just fun to listen to. :3

Thanks for the feedback!

[Ashes]

Great job on the vocals. The overall mix is pretty smooth. I like how it breaks down into almost a trance step instead of aggrostep. I also find the dubstep growls and effects to be fairly original, rarely using an overused effect. There is a personal spin to everything here; very little generic anything. Great use of subtle glitch effects!

Pro quality!

Thank you! I appreciate you taking the time to give me a review. I read them all and everyone counts!

[For the glory]

I think this is pretty original, and I like the variety instruments. However, and maybe this is just me, it seems like the song kind of clashes with itself. I don't exactly know what it is - maybe the filter effects or the harmonies or something else - but the song is a bit chaotic sounding; it's got this tension bordering on unpleasantness. But I do actually like what you've made here. It's an interesting blend of many sounds and themes. I can't recall exactly what this reminds me of, but it is good what I hear.
After listening to it a few times now, it has an oldskool feeling I find reminiscent of the early 90's tracker scene.

Sum up:
Upbeat, a journey of a struggle, than a rise back up facing some obstacles than a triumph.
I feel like this works better as a loop than a song in its current mix; the ending feels a bit too abrupt. A few small tweaks could easily make this a seamless loop. (this is the only reason why I'm giving you only 9/10; an oversight perhaps or running out of ideas. Everything else is perfect for what it is
I like it! I feel like it could use some focus, but may that slight tension is intentional; maybe there are too many instruments - too much variety? (just my opinion)
Either way good job on the mixing, transitions, and mastering; it's got great production values.

[F-777 - Viper (Full)]

Awesome track. Really getting down to this. I especially like that dirty, wet "yaug" synth. The song kept building up and up and never really released until the end. I'll be jamming out to this one for a while.

Excellent work!

[Overdrive {Halloween2010}]

This song is a blast! It has one of the sickest outros I've heard pretty much ever. The last minute and a half is really good, not to mention the rest of it. Really getting a "monster within" vibe from this. So much awesome! Love it!

[Ludicrous Speed - F-777]

This...

This is awesome! Fast, stomping, pumping beat. Great breakdowns. Tight trance-y sections. Yet another F-777 masterpiece.

This has got to be insane in Audiosurf! Do you mind if I make a video of me playing it?

[RAGE QUIT!]

I don't really like Hip Hop...

But I like this! But I have a hard time hearing the lyrics. I like how it is dragged on, but perhaps the beat is a tad too loud--it slightly overpowered your voice. I still can't understand some of the verses. Maybe you could put the lyrics in the comments?

Luke responds:

I'll do that shortly! Thanks for the review, score and download! I appreciate it!

[- LD - Razorback]

Interesting blend of styles

The song does not clash with itself, which for me happens sometimes when I try and take two different genres and put them together, so good job there.

It invokes that feeling of mystery at the beginning, leading to "discovery" at 1:38. Good overall feeling to it.

The back synth starting at 1:15 could be a bit louder. It sounds fairly silent to me and interferes with the feeling of the song imo. And it starts to drag on a bit for me after about 3 minutes, but as you said it being good for clubs, that's a good thing (maybe).

Overall, I like it, and it's good to hear something different in the dubstep genre, especially a slower, dance-able one, but it doesn't really have that "something special" to make it stand out much above the rest. There is potential here for more, and I think it be would be something really cool if the full potential was reached.

In summary: done well for what it is, but I think there is room for improvement.

[hammer of the gods]

Almost there

It has a good intro, but then it starts to get a bit repetitive. I'm not quite sure what you could do to improve it, but it has potential to be something more.
