MeditativeDelusion's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[My Life Sucks But]

Not my cup of tea, but still excellent work. I wish the high-end was clearer up top (from 10khz - 18khz) and it had less high-end ring in general on the mixing side of things but the arrangement is well done and the drums are slapping.

[D4004]

I vibe with it. I wish that off-beat hi-hat was a little lower in the mix, but the lush synths, pads, leads, and organic elements more than make up for that one bugaboo. Super chill stuff here; good stuff.

[EP-1 The Journey Begins]

I'm so curious about how you made that synth patch for the main lead, at least it sounds like a synth patch, is it? I love the grove and how short/sweet the song is, it doesn't overstay its welcome. My only critique is that I wish the best had more thump to it (Consider adding a harmonic saturator to it, LOVEND is a good free one to use for this) and that the song was generally mastered louder. Overall excellent work, I'm looking forward to hearing more from you!

[Soverney - Cassette]

Simply excellent! I love the mix, the bass is full and rich, the drums have just the right punch, the song is the perfect length and doesn't overstay it's welcome, the gain staging is flawless. 5/5 will loop for 5 hours.

Soverney responds:

Thank you so much for the thoughtful review!!

[Veil Of Darkness]

Love the mix on this, the low end is strong and that kick is THUMPING. I wish the audio was less crushed on the mastering side but I see the vision. 1:00 onward is where the whole song clicks for me. Those vocal chops are heavenly and that snare is nasty. Excellent stuff!

[Box]

I like it. I wish the mix itself had a bit more bite but the instrumentation, arrangement, and composition are simply excellent. 5/5

[Mom3nt]

I like the guitar and the overall vibe of this, but I think you could turn the vocals up a bit or make them more prominent. I want to hear the vocalist not a hint of them. Don't be afraid to make the vocals front and center, I assure you it's better for the vocals to be over-heard than under-heard. The vocals could also do with a little tuning but I can see that the vibe of the song is going for that detuned ambient aesthetic so it's not a huge deal. I think the idea here is solid but needs some refining. Keep at it!

Lumi here: I appreciate that so much and I love how you get the vibe of the song. Thank you for that feed back. I do tend to do have vocals a lil lower lol So thanks for bringing that up ✨✨ I def will be sharing more!

Update: I raised the vocals :)

[FD - Resolute Flow]

Love the guitar/acoustic plucks on this. Those reverberated synths and ear candy textures are just "Mmf!" Chief's kiss. Simply excellent 5/5

ForgottenDawn responds:

Thank you! 🙏

[Air]

The beginning gives me some serious Minecraft vibes but then the Chorus? Bass drop? at 1:20 hits just right. I Love this! 5/5

[In the Cold]

Love the patches and effects on this. The song has super tranquil vibes and showcases excellent use of drone composition. Unfortunately, I'm giving this a 3.5/5 because there's a fairly loud ringing at 4 - 6 kHz that kept pulling me out of the music. This is entirely a matter of taste on my end but it does influence my scoring. Keep up the excellent work, and congratulations on the front paging!

Thank you!
