AxTekk's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Walk On feat. Jar]

This is really great. Love Common too, this definitely has the chill, deep vibe too. The story telling's great too, because a) you've had an interesting life, b) you have a cool outlook and c) you're an ill lyricist. Very brilliant. Jar's a great singer too. I'ma prolly gonna go and download your backlog now.

[Give It Up]

On point, everything on point. This is sounding badass. You should extend this imho.

JakobePaulobe responds:

I just might! I'm nor sure what I'm going to do with this track yet, but I'm sure I'll extend it in some way, either through collaboration or another verse of my own or two.

[S.A.D.]

Mark made a status referencing this. No-one got the joke. :(

Where did u go mayne? Life just isn't the same without Cerebro.

DocterCerebro responds:

Yoooooooo. What's up maneeee!!!!????

[5 (just take it)]

Daaaaaaaamn, this some Jel kinda shit. I really fuckin' love the drums especially, but everything fits great, and I love how you manipulated the original Take 5. I could be wrong, but I don't think the original was even in 4/4. Looking forward to the new album muchly.

[Infinite Chaos]

Yeah, this is much better than your other track. Much better sound design. High production value, although you could really use that sidechained kick drum. Big fan of the musical parts you have, but I think there were too many abrupt and arbitrary sounding pauses, that kinda felt like you had no idea what you wanted the track to sound like and just defaulted to breakdown/ buildup mode. I'd have a hard time mixing this well because of that.

Good production -work - maybe have a clearer vision of how you want the end-product to sound.

Masterfoxify responds:

To be honest, this started out as a drawing board for ideas that I could go back for presets and chord progressions, when I listened and realized it was possible to make a track from it, then I added in drums, a proper drop, and yeah. The only problem that I see personally is the buildup, I had absolutely NO idea what to do with it, so I ended up using one of my old preset buildups. Thanks for the review!

[Dead Time]

You can tell you really put a lot of time into this, a lot of effort into the mixing, but at the same time you can kinda tell you're pretty new to sound design... Without being harsh, you need to get some new drum samples. Mainly a tighter kick (with a clearer mid end) and snare. Also the hihat you're using sounds like FL default stuff. Also you really need to sidechain the bass to it. The melody clashes p. badly with the bass, and could maybe do with some more reverb? The synths sound pretty preset-y too, although the choirs were pretty cool. What software set up do you have?

Idk, my biggest quibble with this is that it sounds really uninspired and robotic. Dubstep should have soul and groove, it should feel dark and fluid. Right now though, it doesn't really sound like you have much vibe and soul or a high production value. Still, all the best finding your way in the world of sound design.

Masterfoxify responds:

Yes, I am new to producing. And I actually would like to argue a few points on this review. I first off I use audiotool, I cannot afford expensive software and sample packs. This actually is not meant to be heavy and is meant for background music. It has a chord progression that I had to make work, the vocals don't fit in as well because they were a sample on a different key and I tried my best to make it work. And there is actually a story behind this, I was going through a bad time, so I actually made it sound bland and robotic, to replicate the emotions I was going through at the time. It was choppy to represent rage, robotic to represent lack of emotions, uninspired because all imagination had been shut off in my brain. This is a good review though, I wanted to get this out to the public and see if anyone even paid attention to small details like this. Thank you, I wanted to let the public know there was a story and reason to the quality.

[[S_Rock] Infinite Hunger]

I can't even describe how ill this is. MCs better treat this shit right lol, this is certified dope.

S-Rock responds:

That's what's up homie. Thanks for the review. I'm just glad you like it :)

[HDC - Mickey Mao v Wolfie]

Man I'm just so fucking glad we're battling again. Wolfie came dope, but I'd give this to Mickey just for how mentally creative he came here. Good shit guys.
