Tennon's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Shimmer]

Excellent melody, but the drop lacks a bit of power. Wish you a good success for the contest!!

Lubloom responds:

Yeah I agree, so I'll be doing something with a little more power in the drop for my next piece. Thank you very much! :)

[Wanderer]

Probably your best song, some areas feel kinda empty but it is negligible. When are you going to make a dubstep?

Lubloom responds:

Thanks, I think it might be one of my best as well. I'm working on a dubstep piece right now but I'm a bit stuck with it.

[Dark Skies]

Well, the main problem of this song is that the melody is way too repetitive. If it varies just a bit, it would be more interesting. Another thing is that, the drop seems too light, the growls should be louder and more distorted. Overall, the song should have more elements

Lubloom responds:

I agree that the melody is a bit repetitive, but it is actually varied in a few places if you didn't notice (which probably means it isn't varied enough). And yeah, the drop is a tad light, but there is plenty of distortion there, and not all dubstep has to have a heavy and super-growly drop.

[Sunken]

This is one of your most insane songs! The atmosphere is really nice, you really got a deep feeling in it. You should probably add some really wet arps and then automate their dryness and wetness in the course of the song. A bass drop would be appreciated? (lol all I know is bass drops lol lol lol)

Lubloom responds:

Hey, long time no see! Thank you! I was considering adding an arp, maybe it would have added some stuff to the song, and liquid DnB tends to not have a bass drop. If it wasn't liquid then I would have made one :P

[Antares - Null]

Really improved, comparing to your other works. The melody is better, the drop is better and everything else is better. You just have to work on automation, sound effects and the mixing. After the drop, you can add a fading effect to make a good transition between drop to verse. You should also use more synths, like at least 30. Also make the drums as loud as possible, like at 0db

Melody/percussion/chord: 7.5/10
Mixing/synth choice: 5.5/10
Drop: 7.5/10
Conplexity/automation/SFX: 6/10
Mastering/general stuff: 8.5/10

Total: 35/50 = 70%

AntaresGD responds:

Thanks for the review! A significant amount of effort was put into this, but definitely not enough on the synths. I will do better with the mixing with my next release.
#NotEnoughSynths

[Ascension]

Ok dear Luke, theres some things that need to get improved:
1. The entire song is about the same velocity:
You have to have more automations to make the synths vary a bit. If you dont like automating the volume, you can EQ, wet or filter synths to decrease the volume. At calm parts you can decrease hi ends of synths to make it "appear" less loud, or mute certain chords and bass. And theres another thing, muting the percussion doesnt really make the song less loud.
2. The wubs need to be more obvious:
To make them obvious, you can reduce the volume of other synths or EQ other synths when the wub is playing.
3. The song "appears" to be repeating the same thing over and over
Bro, you need some changes in the song. You can use more synths (I use about 30-60 per track).
The melody, the mixing and the percussion are actually pretty good.

Lubloom responds:

I only just noticed that I didn't respond to this! But trust me, I took your advice. I've been experimenting with velocity, variation and changing wubs since this review :P

[Lockyn - Aqua (Zyzyx Remix)]

Bruh, couldve used more different growls

DJ-Zyzyx responds:

Thanks! And yeah I agree 8)

[Nocturne Sea]

Hey dude! This song has one of the best melodies and instruments! The only problem is, at the drops you should put more bass and punch to the percussion!!

EctiBot responds:

Thanks for the review :).
Yea, I agree that I could add a bit more UMPH to the drop. I'll look into it :D.
Glad you liked the melodies. Did a lot of melody work in this one :).
Thanks for listening :D.

[Chael - Nightmare]

Falsesouth responds:
