pitbulljones's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Sweetie Linda]

Dry the rain, beta band.

Literally know the chords and tune ha.

Nice take, you know what my issues are so are they worth repeating? My doors open any time, i can do miracles for you.

[Machine Learning]

KB!

If a man is going to love drones and build, it's going to be me.

That stereo spread is beautiful, filling. You utilize glitch so well in your mixes, but it's a staple of your tone. A VERY classic sine pad.....into the beat. Is it a low rhodes for the chord?

And then the transition,I would have liked a climb into a tiny terror'd guitar crunch, elevate that drive to a new level. However the continuation of the groove with the added noises works equally well.

Your mix is faultless as always.

Kingbastard responds:

Thanks man, appreciate it. It’s some resampled noise/instrument. I don’t even know what. It could’ve been a chopped part of me playing a melodica. I think some low-pitched vocal hum and buzz from a guitar cable in there too. It was a fun little experiment of a track. Could’ve done more, but enjoyed the “jam”:)

[Flying Through Open Skys]

You lucky bastard! I'm running through monitors right now.

Mate! How fucking good is this??? I can tell you worked to a flat eq response as all the sub and bass is clean. Now......is it dnb or breaks? This mix is leaning more to dnb, but it's missing that bass pump. So for me it's breaks.

Working in the genre, there's bass, there's some treble, it's energy is all in the lower end which is exactly where it should be, to fill that thin line of mid would ruin a great track.

Your vocal samples could actually be cleaner, but if it's comp'd in mix it explains that.

In a club this bangs............

i want to hear the midnight dub 8 minute epic

5 all day

Midnights-Ocean responds:

You bring a smile to my face mate! A rare thing these days indeed. My memory of jungle tends to be the more permutated stuff, probably round the later half of the 90s and early early 2000s. Right about the time the line between breaks and D&B was being blurred all over the place. At least, that's how I remember it. "Atmospheric jungle" I recall some people calling it.

Yes I was very happy with how tight this mix turned out. And yes, in the car, I still wanted more clarity from the vocals. I think just a little more EQ, a light exciter or just plain more volume on them might do it. I'll do what I always do, mix the thing a little more every time I come across the project file.

heh dat bass pump. I'd love to hit the bass more like that but it can be such an illusive thing for me, getting that perfect D&B bass.

lol I'd love to do more D&B, dub and jungle in general, but it's the kinda thing I really gota be in the mood for, or it just turns out boring and disjointed. It isn't purely D&B by any stretch of the imagination but I AM working on a jungle flavored album: https://midnightsocean.bandcamp.com/album/paradigms-unique

It's a tall order though, for me personally, because the genre in the 90s left such an impression on me, I feel the bar has been set quite high and I don't get satisfaction unless I reach it, even if it's just a tiny pinkie barely brushing by it. : )

[Shift]

Well fook.

Lofi, but ambient, bit of a mixing issue perhaps, there's potential here

[Dubstep Cowboy]

haaaaaaaaaa

how cheesy and synthy and awesome is this! fucking hell.

[Buzz]

How do you not have a review?

A stalwart of NG, this place doesn't deserve our kind.

I'll reiterate my thoughts from the other review, this feels like your dipping the toe back in. You know you have better in you but working through the rust is worthwhile.

I have high hopes for your full performance.

[No Catchy Title]

Yessssssssssssssss!

It's a rare LJC tune. And you haven't lost a step! A sparse tune for you, one that stays in lane, which is surprising but welcoming. Is it a bit 'standard'? I think so. It builds fantastically, and evolves and transitions. But there's an intangible 'by the numbers' feel to this. And that is not to detract from the tune, it feels like you have dipped your toe back in the water and testing the temperature. What you have here is solid work, mixed well and deserving of some reviews.

If this is just a warm up, i cannot wait for the performance.

who doesn't worship labs! did you get the free bbc one or the paid one?

Your composition is great. It's the highs, i have no idea what you have changed but you need to address it, youre murdering my ears.

Troisnyx responds:

Lots of air~ That's where we're at. I could turn down the master a little bit, because that brings it all up.

I got Discover, the free one.

[freefalling // becoming the light]

Hmmmmmmm, there's a pattern here.

Have you moved to new equipment or changed how you're mixing, are you on cans only?

I really like this, very william orbit, madonnas ray of light album.

mate, those high frequencies are killing my ears, badly. Something has changed in your mixing and it needs addressing immediately.

Troisnyx responds:

I have moved to a new computer, yes.
