B-RadGfromOV's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Quiet Hillock]

Pretty cool. I wouldn't say you went overboard. Just seems experimental, and what's there is just replacing what you would have usually sampled to achieve. anyway not bad, and for the most part everything blends well and gives off a kinda eerie feel. Percussion is fitting.

phosphorusprocedure responds:

I was testing out some new plugins I ran into. Piano One (vst that sounds pretty decent for a piano), Lo-Fizer (comes with tape hiss, hum, vinyl noise, and a slew of other low-fi simulating effects), and some others. I think I was cranking them pretty hard. Not a lot of dynamics going on with the instruments on the track.

I do dig the way the drums came out though. Pre-processing, they were just standard 808 drum sounds. Sounded pretty weird after all the effects.

Thanks for the review. I was dipping my feet into some horror ambient stuff lately. I don't know much about how to make it, so I'm just kinda messing around.

[House of the Ancients]

Daammn. This shit's hot. I love everything about it. Very atmospheric track.

phosphorusprocedure responds:

Thanks, dude. Did it for a class like a month and a half ago. In Logic instead of FL, so I got to use some of the funky basses they had going on in there.

[Remember]

Smooov.

BOULLIE responds:

Made it for the nightcappers

[Head Trip]

This beat's got a nice smooth clean sound man. The whole middle part was groovin hard. It's very hard to grasp the tune of the intro on the first few listens but I got it. The production on the drums and bass sounds great.

phosphorusprocedure responds:

Thanks for the review, dude. The main bass I've been using lately is the analogue bass preset from Harmor. I just play it backwards to skip the squelchy part. With all the compression and filtering and everything, it makes a pretty good sub-bass.

The tune is pretty weird. I guess if I had some hats or drums playing with it, it'd be easier to follow, but it's kinda herky jerky all by itself.

[Deadline]

I was just listening to In the Dark last night! Made me want to write to it.

This shit here is pretty ill. The production on the drums is very flying lotus but with less glitch. Your production really makes your simplistic structures POP. There's a lot of punch in everything you make. I need some lessons. Even from your 2012 self...

BOULLIE responds:

Ha at this time I was just learning how to really "play" notes on the drumpad. Everything was kinda forming. It's really weird going back to my old work tho

If you got questions I've got answers. I'm not stingy about the details

[Black Cat]

Oooweee nice groove! At the beginning I was like okay this has the potential to be ill. Waiting to see where the snare would hit and all that. It came through perfectly. Great beat man, you're getting really good.

Libby-Shimmz responds:

Been waitin' on you to review this B!

Thanks for the praise!

[Tatsumaki]

Haha Dr Steve Brule!

Nice calm track, nothing amazing but nice to listen to.

BOULLIE responds:

perfectooo

[Cattle Prod]

I like the beat a lot in the middle of the track. The thwooming bass/kicks really make for a sick beat. The sampling is a little hectic and all over, but yeah I dig that beat.

phosphorusprocedure responds:

Yeah, instead of sidechaining the kick and bass, or eq'ing around them, I just have them both go at the same time, so they're competing pretty hard. I normally don't do that, so I'm glad it sounded good to you. And yeah, the ending got pretty nuts. I put all those sounds on one track, so they all got mixed the same way. I had so many plugins that my CPU usage was killing me, so I moved the audio buffer from 90 ms to 180 ms and everything was so choppy. I guess that was why I was in a rush to finish it, haha. So I could set it back to 90.

Thanks for the review, man! (I think it's my 300th, actually)

[Suede Seats]

Why did I not review? This is solidly good. Well mastered and manageable for a good flow. I'll try to write to it.

BOULLIE responds:

Please deeewww
