AxTekk's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Always On Time]

Really dig the music, the atmospherics, the claps, but the kick is really pissing me off lmao. Maybe layer it with a more subby kick, then sidechain the bass to that shit. Maybe get some more high end on the leads? Idk it sounds a little muddy atm. Good stuff though.

ggsevv responds:

Thanks. I tried not to have the kick with TOO much presence because I already have the bass pushing through the subs (maybe a little too loud for my car's on good). I haven't tried sidechaining the bass before......hm...

As far as that lead goes, me and the guy I made this for (Z) sat down for an hour fucking ONE massive preset before we got it to sound like that. He's too in love with it, and frankly, I'm too lazy. It does need that extra.....something tho. Lol. ILY, Ax!

[J.U.M.P.]

Solid. Fucking. Gold. Teq and Fats dropped solid gold here. Loving how Fats puts on such a great alterego voice too lol.

Shak - This is fucking brilliant. Not sure how you processed those 808s, but they sound fat and clean, I actually really loved the arp, all the atmospherics, those bright hats... Dude. Wow. Major props.

Teqneek responds:

We tried to close out the summer with the #1 banger of the year

[Lunar Prelude]

This is clearly an improv piece, and it's a bit stop + starty but it's very enjoyable and you're clearly a decent pianist. Do you mind if I sampled a couple of moments in some of my own stuff?

FlyingColours responds:

Thanks a lot for the review! :) No, I wouldn't mind that at all. Would you mind showing me if you do that? :D

[D25 - Riftraft]

Goddamn man, this is toptier. How do you make this in a day?

hopeku responds:

I had a template for the instruments. I just made up some rifts and aligned them...

[D19-Happy meal]

WOW. This is... far out lol. It's like there are splatters of sound everywhere in random, mismatched places, but all the sounds are beautiful so it doesn't matter.

hopeku responds:

haha i was not sure about that one but...I have no more time.

Thank you!

[D20-Fantasmatic]

Whoahhhh, every track I swear... And that cowbell on this motherfucker.

It's just everything. Everything's precision tuned and freakin' dope. I love the vibe as well, pure positivity.

hopeku responds:

Hey thank you man ;)

[Give Them What They Want]

Fucking true. Also, RJA is a sporadic beast.

TinyLobsterFace responds:

thanks man and yeah I know haha

[Amateur Hour]

Damnnnn I love how freaking smooth this was, hella fly flow.

CHiLEDAWG responds:

Thank ax, you da man son

[D01-Once on a frozen lake]

God damn man. This is freaking awesome, all smoothly produced and engineered and yet ambling and coloured. The closest analogy I can think is like Flying Lotus or Dosage. Idk, I found it kinda grating when samples went on a super tight loop (:33 etc) because it kinda messed up the lurching and fluid vibe. But wow. A lot of people on the Hip Hop portal are going to be stepping their game up now.

hopeku responds:

Wow I kind of feel this is too much lol

Thank you very much ;)

[Goin Hard Beat]

Why would anyone hate on this?!? Deep 808s, tight guitar work, big brass... Even fucking polytonality. Gatspraya 4prez

GatSpraya responds:
