Lockyn's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Reality]

Super solid work. This is really nicely mixed, balanced listen, you're gonna go places mate. Cheers and keep it up

Veikyul responds:

Hi there, Lockyn...fancy seeing you here, eh? Glad you enjoyed!

[Lockyn - Listless (Windlux Remix)]

You heard my thoughts on it already but I love this flip <3 great work :)

KORAII responds:

thanks mate ;)

[Skittles (EDM)]

Keep working at it, great intro synths and atmospherics, kick is not in front of the mix at the drop like it should be, needs stronger sidechain or better EQ (or maybe just a different kick sample that doesn't have the same freq range as your basses). Keep it up mate

KORAII responds:

i cant believe you didnt give this like 2 stars lol

[Cochu - Nuclear Padlock]

I like the chords, definitely a really catchy progression and intro. Good bass sound starting around 1:06 but it's a bit overwhelming, should start it a bit quieter then ramp up the volume. Overall your mix is a hitting a peak somewhere, I would turn things down just a little bit and you should be good. Thanks for the listen man, glad the samples could help you :)

Cochu responds:

:D Thank you <3

[Headspace]

Damn, I actually really love the chords in this. They're so lucid man, really smooth work, the dissonance is really fresh. Only thing I would think about is your mixing, it's a little rough but other than that this was a very pleasant listen. Keep it up man, I love it!

KluciDGMD responds:

dude thanks :DDDDDDDDD

[Detious - Telluric (Original Mix)]

DetiousMusic responds:

[Pink Lemonade | 2013]

I stopped reviewing the submitted tracks for time reasons as there are quite a bit to score and quite a few are very lengthy such as yours (9 minutes!) but I'm sorry I had to review this one.

Same reason as TimerClock below me. I would have easily given this 1.5 - 2 more points out of 10 than I scored it currently if you didn't make your entire track sound like it was high passed for no apparent reason. I'm sorry if I come off strong but it really bothers me - you have such a nice track, I love the melodies and synths, and you cut off half the freqs :( Good luck in the contest, cheers.

Bertn1991 responds:

The goal was to mimic the sounds of old arcade games like the original Donkey Kong or Pac Man. They had this muffled sorta sound that really resonated with me. That's why it sounds the way it does. I didn't make the song for anyone but myself, but I can see where you're coming from to an extent. Three or so people have complained about the sound in this song now. I honestly can't understand why people are complaining so much. When I listen to it, I don't hear anything wrong. I love the way it sounds, but I guess it's more of a personal thing. The song is meant to sound different. Sadly people don't feel the same way as I do. Oh well. Anyway, thanks for the feedback, buddy.

I got a bit rushed as I went through the contest tracks but when I hit this one I had to review. Keep doing what you're doing, this is amazing. I don't wanna get detailed as this isn't an official review but I really enjoyed your unique glitch work, it's a tough genre to work with, you did it nicely and succinctly, keep it up. Cheers, hoping to see you next round.

OmegaP responds:

Hey, Thanks for taking the time! I was really nervous that I had submitted the wrong track because it is a bit out there but I am glad you liked it.

[If only we could]

Real quick review as I go through the entries - I was really pleasantly surprised with the introduction of the melody/chords at 1:35 ish. Wish you had continued with more of that feel throughout the beginning of the track, where I felt some of the effects/instruments were not very well placed and notes were poorly chosen, the dnb breaks were nice for sure but the melodies/harmonies didn't have much direction initially. glad I finished listening the track though. try and keep away from those FL stock drums if you can. cheers and good luck in the contest.

Qvarcos responds:

lol, those weren't even FL stock drums. :(
