archefluxx's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[YendorNG - Signal (Radio Version)]

Really like this. Looking at how the track progresses from the drop, you bring in a snare 4 bars in and that's quite early. You might find that bringing in a hi-hat at 8 and then snare with a pad or support riff at 16 is a more progressive way to go. The track seems to miss that high-end percussion that can really add a certain energy. An EQ'd breakbeat loop can do the same kind of thing. I think that will add a depth to the track that it might be missing. Hopefully helpful feedback!

I love the nostalgic touches with the whistle effects!

YendorNG responds:

I'll take a look at the sequence of the snare a little later tonight and update it. I'm trying to rely less of samples as NG doesn't like that too much.

[Cloud-9]

Absolutely banging! What a fantastic capturing of such an iconic, but underrated sound! Fantastic!

ZoidNG responds:

thanks!

next generation records and blatant beats my beloved

[Tune Down! & Nakura - Smile Inc.]

5 stars obviously 🤩

TuneDown responds:

Thanks arche! :D

[S3RL feat. Kayliana- You Are Mine (~cC~ Remix)]

Nice work on this! I'm just wondering if you were intending to produce Happy Hardcore in S3RLs style here, or whether you wanted to move away from that? I can hear that many of the sounds and sythns are softer, but used in a 4/4 175 bpm Hardcore arrangement. I'm keen to know the theory behind the track :)

CelestialChaos responds:

The original was also in 4/4 at 175, I tried to keep some aspects the same such as that and the drum beats. I didn’t reuse any of S3rl’s synths, although I did use the same harmonies as him. The chord progression is F#m-C#m-Dmaj-Amaj-Emaj-Fmaj if you were curious. Thanks for the review, and I gotta say I’m actually a fan of your music!!

[A New Beginning]

Nice arrangement. I like the chip tune effort. I think from 44 seconds, that sine bassline could sit an octave lower? But I'm not an expert in this genre at all.

TBAdriel responds:

That's fair, I just had the bassline there because I liked it better.
Thanks, though!

[PI 20: "Level Clear #2"]

Loving that Tekken style of drum roll to bring in the sound. Fantastic.

Pheanir responds:

Thanks ~
That is coincidental, then, wow. I've never played Tekken myself. ^_^

[Angel's Ire]

Very angry. Very dubstep.

Now I need to check over the Angel Beats soundtrack and link up your inspiration :) Great work

Hookington responds:

thank you! wasn't inspired by the soundtrack, but I sampled some of the anime spoken vocals from an angel beats episode <3

[Rastrum Visual]

This is really good. Massive kudos. Love the riffs, and the quality of the recording is pretty much pro

LateNightScreening responds:

Thank you! It took a lot of effort on our part to get it to sound like that due to our less than ideal gear and space we got to record in.

[Cubenssi Overture]

I gave the whole EP a listen on Spotify after finding this. Beautiful music! I loved it.

HypercubeRecords responds:

Thank you :)

[Bright Future]

This is so smooth and easy to listen to. Lush

EVLanche responds:

Glad you enjoyed it! This means a lot ^ ^
