JimmyTheCaterpillar's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Land of Hunger and Savageness]

this is cool! i love the sound effects, like the bats in the beginning, or the gurgling at 0:54! very rad, like a scary coaster ride. you should tag this halloween2023! it would fit well

Latadenata responds:

Thanks for the tag recommendation, I'll do it! And I'm glad you liked it so much!

[Synth-etic]

fun progression throughout -- reminds me of a more upbeat vein to Axiom Verge, especially with the bass drum. I really like the bass here.

I think the intro is a little long and the initial two sections are very samey, and the mixing doesn't lead to much of my interest.

after 0:55 though, there is a lot here to love -- the crunchy piano could probably be boosted a bit, but it's a great gateway into the meat of the song and the melody, which is all so panoramic and awesome. i love the variation and the way the instruments play off of each other. the kick-back in at 2:03 or so is well-executed as well.

I think the ending could have been executed a little better,, i understand cutting instruments out one-by-one for sure, but i feel like there's a better ending that's unique to this song hiding in there somewhere! i'd love to hear it!

i really really liked the core of this track, and i'm glad you shared it!! thank you :)

Thank you for the review!

[The stars in the sky]

the snare sounds a little wet here and the fade-out near the end doesn't work exaactlyyy but you're really making strides!!!!! I love the subtle melody coursing underneath the main sounds, very lovely work!!!! truly one of the songest songs C:

Themon4 responds:

Heh, thanks this one had audio issue from the start, I tried to fix them but It only made it worse, and then I wanted to back track because It was worse now and you can kinda see where that went. Thank you for the response!

[Red Lights]

i love the subdued lofi elements in a track that isn't completed encased by them. the waves in the background provided a really wonderful metronome and i love the way you used the pad! such great work :DD

Beatumpop responds:

thank you ! ^^

[Absorption]

very chill! spaceyyy

MusicBySpektral responds:

thanks! :D

[The Approach]

this is so awesome -- i love each individual part, it's such a tapestry!!! i really just kinda don't like dubstep but that doesn't mean i can't think this song is so dope -- very dancey, very hype.

trocodiliacGD responds:

Thank you so much! I wanted to give it that more "chunked" build where the progression is very obvious! I was honestly expecting negative feedback but comments like this certainly reaffirm me :D Thank you again!

[NEON HEARTBEAT]

really enjoyed the chimes at 0:52 or so, it was really noticeable when they got louder with no variation in their progression though. the horn sounded a bit "nasally" in comparison to the rest of the track -- but i really enjoyed the vibe overall. very futuristic, kinda reminiscent to me of something that'd be in Va1-HallA! i enjoyed the piece, thank you :)

Nopeus7 responds:

yeah i forgot to add it to the description but its literally my first ever composition so also take that to the equation

[Early Morning]

this was really nice!!! i love the mood forged by the piece, I enjoyed the progressions -- they were a little predictable, but honestly i didn't even mind, so pleasant was the piece. I also feel like you could have let the drums in a bit more throughout the song as opposed to just in the middle, but overall!!!! I really feel like you conveyed an optimistic lovely morning -- thank you!!!

MrMcMikey22 responds:

cooool! ^^

[MulchMadness]

#legalizemulch

the chaos here, especially in the buildup from 0-0:30 is really hype -- i love how tight these drums are -- they really don't miss at all. i think the mix gets a littleeee off its rocker from 0:31-0:52 but you rein it in in the breakdown and the subsequent part at 1:20 or so, i really like that part! -- i love the subtle "oh" voice samples that are sprinkled in around 1:30!!! the way the track kinda burns up in disintegrates in its end is really well done if not drawn out just a hair,

overall this mulch is inspired, no doubt!!! really liked it man ty for sharing :)

/ps the dogs really add to the vibe :>

K5K5Music responds:

Thank you fellow mulch connoisseur

[Maulve - Gloom]

albeit a bit slow and sparse, the progression here is pleasant -- i esp enjoyed how it picked up around 3:40. ty for sharing this!

Maulve responds:

Thanks a lot for the feedback!
The song is supposed to be slow, but it was also my first time making a longer song
and I'm still having trouble managing the progression. Very happy that you liked it here!
