AxTekk's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Partitions By DJ Mathmatik]

I like your sound man, you have a very newgroundsy tone with those synths/ piano sounds/ drum sounds & you know how to set a groove up. The rhythm in your 808s/ snares/ general drum shit is red hot fire. Love the piano part too.

The electric guitar plug-in is kinda grating though to be honest - if you have Massive, I find you can generally do better distorted synth shit in that then you get out of most electric guitar plug ins (if you don't have Massive, torrent it, you do a lot of synth work). Also, while your grooves were fire (espesh those hats), I do think some better drum sounds (some layered claps/ snares and kicks in particular) would make you sound a lot more pro. I feel like all you'd need'd be the sounds too, because you're clearly v capable of mixing this shit really well.

Generally great vibes though, and a super smooth mix. But maybe a little more time "legitimately purchasing" some better plug-ins/ samples would improve the sound

Math368 responds:

Thanks Axtekk, I appreciate that

[Fluke]

This is nice, really feel those synths. Nice sound engineering mayn. Thought your (shakers?) could do with being brought up a bit/ maybe a little more verb on the claps and a snare underneath but overall this is a really nice mix, definitely look forward to hearing more of your shit.

OrcaBeatz responds:

Thx AxTekk. Definitely constructive ctriticism Thx a lot. By time i will check the rhythm of this beat and edit it a little.Thx and have a nice day:)

Shit, this is all crunchy & warm but it's still got that trap sound. This is ill mayne, I reaaaally love those strings and that bell is a perfect touch. That bass instead of an 808 keeps shit warm as well, really feeling this.

SmokeAvery responds:

Yeah the whole vibe of it just feels good.

[Perspective]

This goes deeeep man. Serious fire. Love that kinda vocal style over spacey beats. Dope af.

TazPrimo responds:

thx 4 da luv bruh

Shit, this is FIRE. Haven't heard you make something this obviously emotional before, really feeling the piano on this. Definitely love to hear a cypher on this shit.

S-Rock responds:

Sometimes you just gotta go for it even if it's not your usual ya know!? I'm glad you gave it a listen bro! much appreciated.

[King Kunta]

Bruhhhh, I swear last two days I've listened to this album non stop. Not really into trap, but I feel how you flipped this track, really angular but funky and shit. Especially the bit around 2 minutes. 1:36 too - str8 fire

Poniiboi responds:

It is a good record. It might start the revolution, though, so you might wanna get a tan real quick so you can pass

[Let's Get It]

Fuckin' beastly man. This sounds more like how I've always felt you envision your tracks. You're killing it dude.

Poniiboi responds:

I put myself thru a mixing class and now I'm like Axtekk

[CAT TRVP - Primal]

Some serious beastmode shit. Love what you did with what is often a stupidly derivative genre, whilst keeping it 100 with those 808s and southern shouts. Maybe just add some microdynamics to the faster drums, making every other beat a little softer and then hummanising it. Makes it a little less grating, and actually makes it feel more intense (at least to me).

GOOD SHIT DOE

Enteroar responds:

Good idea with the drums, totally agree that they are grating ): Ill def rework this song someday. Thanks for the feedback!

[[S_Rock] Break the Bottle]

Siiiiiiiiiiiiiick. Great to hear you still on your shit, murking tracks like this. Bss is too ill, but my fave part was that ill riff you had on the processed piano leading into the chorus. Fucking gorgeous.

S-Rock responds:

my naka! Thanks. I'm getting so excited using fruity loops.. Great way to put in those drums... Thanks again for the listen brother!
