Falsesouth's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Moonshine]

For dubstep it is not that powerful, but I like this a lot :)

All it needs is some impacts, reverse cymbals, normal cymbals (xD), filters, and risers that can make it more suspenseful. (Plus stronger dubstep sounds but it is still great as just a song)

This is actually one of my favourite things I have heard on NG that is not from a popular artist.
Thanks for redirecting me to this, it was definitely worth listening to :D

Lubloom responds:

I was going for a more chillstep-esque song with this one, though it is still not very powerful, and I'm glad you do.

I don't have many good cymbal packs, so if you have any recommendations I'd appreciate them.

This is my favourite song that was by me (that sounds a little weird, but I genuinely was impressed that I made it :P). You're welcome, and thanks for being a very good reviewer and offering constructive feedback for me :)

[Gravity]

I hate to be the one to say it... but this is kind of repetitive and overrated. I don't know how it got featured. The instruments need more backup than just that Bell (IDK how else to identify it) sound that gets irritating by the end of the song. It needs more supporting instruments. Some piano or other plucks or other fitting sounds. You need to learn to make a build up. That is crucial. As for the drop, you just need more variation. Nothing really blends in the drop. Use the mixer to blend the song the best you can (assign each instrument to a track and . That way it will sound cleaner. The bass is just too simple (I know you said it's simple so no big deal). You also made the mistake of using the main FL kick... just don't. Get some packs with percussion instruments (Hats kicks snares etc). Don't worry I used that kick too when I started with FL.

I hope this is the kind of criticism you were looking for. Music quality just takes time and exposure to other works and experience. You will get better.

You should make your own soundcloud account anyways and post your songs there. You should try to expose yourself as much as you can (without being annoying) so you can work with others around your level. For me, I found a bunch of people that I work with and we all give each other advice etc.

I know all this is quite a bit to take in, but you should try to apply this information (doesn't have to be all at once). Always try to do something better every song.

Oh yeah one more thing: if you find a song is really hard to work with or you just don't feel inspired to work on it, then don't work on it. But still try to finish projects if you can. Otherwise you will feel like you can never complete a project.

Good luck.

:D

Lubloom responds:

Yes, I kind of agree, though I had no part in it being overrated and featured, that is the communities decision. This is definitely not my best work, check out moonshine (which is much better imo). Bear in mind this song is over 7 months old, and I made it when I was starting out on music, I just thought I'd upload it for valentines (though I missed it by one day :P). I try not to use the default fl kit now, since I have actually downloaded packs containing more kicks.

This is the most useful review on here, since you have actually provided very good constructive criticism. I do have a soundcloud, and would post on there more often, but no promotion means no views and that is disheartening.

Dude, you should see the amount of unfinished projects I have. I got loads to do lol, especially from my days when I only used sytrus (kill me).

Thanks for the review! <3

[[F] - Chillwave]

This is interesting. It is kind of hard to place a genre on it so I see why it is Miscellaneous. You never fail to surprise me.

Keep this up!

Frictional responds:

Thanks again for the support Bradley! :)
Also, this is considered a chill track, but it's not chill house, because it's pace is 130 BPM, which is too fast for an house track. I just put it under miscellaneous because chill genre is not included on Newgrounds. :)
Tom should think about adding some genres to the list, like Hardcore, Chill or Glitch Hop.

[(Keratz remix) Owl City - Vanilla Twilight [Dedicated to NeoMusiKa]]

Really amazing :)

Keratz101 responds:

:)))

[Dikó -Lost Loyalty-]

Some notes sound a little off but it is really cool. Just use more variation like the other guy said.
Don't make this loop go on too long in an actual song.

optimize responds:

cheers breadly sexdrum!

[Energy]

The build up reminds me of submerge's build up IDK WHY(my old thing) a bit

Drop is nice and hard :D

You are right that the melody is repetitive but the drop totally makes up for it! I guess the song is a little long but the last drop tho :)
Everyone has certain times where they are repetitive but whatever you show improvement so I don't care.

Ravitex responds:

Check out Selection by The Noisy Freaks. That's also a long song but somehow it worked better because it wasn't as repetitive.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback!

[Purified Soul]

Coastal life is what I feel from this song :)
Keep up the atmospheric stuff!!

Also glad to see house :3

ForeverBound responds:

Thanks, I'm not sure if it fits under house but I thought it was the closest to it :)

[Tobu - Colors (Zyzyx Remix)]

You gotta watch out for when the pitches don't blend.... It is so obvious. That is a major problem with this remix. Remixing I find is much easier because I know what is gonna come next. I never even use midis. The hard part is making the remix your own. This remix needed more backing instruments. I had the same problem with my first remix.

Don't give up, but make sure you don't make that mistake again.

DJ-Zyzyx responds:

Can you message me on soundcloud Wat a backing instrument is? XD

[Revive the Rave]

Epic AF lol

This kind of has it all.

Keep up the rave :)

Delcherro responds:

Let's REVIVE it! :D

[Popcorn (Remake)]

wow epic remake, I remember this xD

Could use more variety but it's popcorn and its a remake so I will just chill :)

KamillasRainbow responds:

haha thanks xD
