Hippokopter's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hypothermia]

Huh, pretty cool! I really like the beginning, but I think the buildups could use some improvement, like not having the chords go up chromatically and not having the lead double as a riser. One other thing threw me off a little bit. In the drops, the kick and snare weren't just a simple "1+2+" pattern, and I think that the absence of the kind of stability that rhythm gives made the drops a bit less enjoyable. I just feel like having an underlying stability would help. Other than that, sounds great! Happy New Year!

Snakewine responds:

Thanks for feedback! It's So helpful :)))) Thank you again, and happy new year!

Awesome! It sounds like Panda Eyes's "Shuriken" minus the heavy guitars. I like the name too, "fire." The only thing off about this song is that it's not loud enough. There's a psychoacoustic effect where louder things sound better. The louder it is, the better it sounds. In my experience, it also sounds a bit brighter. Anyways, it needs to be louder is all I'm saying. Still, I like the theme, and it's definitely a cool song. Happy New Year!

This is pretty cool! Sounds complextro-y. The ideas are good the buildups are nice, and the whole song has a good dosage of compression, it looks like... lol. All I have to say is that you should focus on mixing I think, because the song sounds kind of muddy to me.

GTard responds:

Thanks, this one is definitely not my favorite song that I've done, mostly because of the mixing issues, but frankly I gave up after a while of trying to fix it. This is ironically the worst mixed out of all the songs I've done lol :P

[the Insult song (swearing)]

No. Just... no. No joke is worth spewing garbage to make it happen...

[ALESDA! & AL3X - Xmas Step]

TEACH ME YOUR WAYS

PLEASE

I'M ACTUALLY SERIOUS

Seriously tho, the mix is crystal clear, the buildup is really sharp, and the DROP! O MY FREAKIN' GOSH THAT WAS AWESOME! What did you do to get so good at this? How?

uff a lot of practice, and a good equalization, and also musical theory (a lot)
