MA3HbO's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Thc - Zerobombers]

Very technical !

Great work with the EQ and compression.The bassline is really grimy and i like it alot.I guess you made it with Massive.The drumloop overall i very nice, i just think you should cut some of the high frequencies of the hats.Also i think you should try iZotope Ozone for complete mastering.Sorry but i can't think of anything else (too tired), but i hope i was of some use to you.Looking forward for the finished one.

10/10 5/5
Keep up the good work.

Qshunt responds:

thanks for your kind words! I use izotope ozone 4 and izotope alloy! the eq still needs a bit of work, since this is not the final product! But I do agree. I was listening to it on my ipod today and came to the same conclusion! its a bit too "lively" on the high end :)
Thanks again!

[Misirlou Remix]

Really nice remix.

Great mix of the track.The melodies are also really nice.Your composition skills are really top class.I just don't know if you decided to do the mastering when you finish the song, cause its doesn't sounds too clean now.The lead synth sounds too loud in my opinion, but i guess you just didn't have enough time or its just an early version of the track.Anyways big up, you are really good at both dnb and dubstep.
Cheers :D.

[Dubstep 1]

Definitely not one of your first songs.

I'm really liking this stuff.Proper sick bass synths, my only complaint is about the drums.The kick seems to stand out alot more than the snare and at some parts the bass overpowers the drums.Try compressing the bass and maybe EQ a bit more the drums.Overall i think, once finished this track will be good enough for releasing, as long as you are determined to make it right and i'm sure you will :D.
10/10 5/5 Faved.
PS. I also produce dubstep and i'd be flattered to see a review from you.
Cheers :D.

[Para - Roach]

Hard Neuro Track !!!

Really nice punchy drums.I hear a bit of influence from Audio in your snare samples or i'm just crazy :D.A short reverb on the bass would sound good if you consider trying it.I would say this is some sick blend between techstep and neurofunk and it kicks ass !!!
Sorry for the short review, i'd like to get more technical but i'm too stoned to do that :D.
Peace.

[Ryder RevengePart04 Soundtrack]

This track puts me in a nice mood. :D

Really nice track, but i got the feeling you've cut a bit of the intro?
Has a nice trance'n'bass mood.I like the drums and the main synths, but when the bass hits it leaves the drums in the backgrounds (and they are one of your main elements so they should stick out more).Try adding a few compressors and maybe a bit EQ on the different drum sounds.Your kick sounds alot lower than your snare and they should have similar presence in the track so work with it until it sounds right.Then comes creativity and you excel at it so BIG UP.No comments on the composition.I think this track deserves a higher score but that's just my opinion :D.
Anyway really good track i'm looking forward for some improvements.
Good job mate keep it up.
10/10 5/5 and faved.

[TriNitroToluene (Dub)]

Sick bass synth.

Really nice bassline.I think you should lower the hats a bit, also the kick/snare sort of gets lost in the background (i guess the low quality could be the problem).
A delay on the opening piano would be nice in my opinion.
Anyway kick ass job.Continue with your work, you've got a potential.
8/10 5/5

Reignee responds:

Yeah i've been thinking about the delay on the piano aswell, but i never get good results with delay on piano parts, it gives me some 'overdoing' effect.
And yep you're right about those high hats , they should be turned down :P

Thanks for the great review and support !

[Abyss - F-777]

Superb.

Great composition of the track.The only thing that bothers me is the mastering of the track.The drums seem to get lost at certain points.Try adding a few compressors.

[Axial [Grind]]

Very nice !!! :D

Great track indeed.It has nice mastering and excellent samples, but i've got the feeling it need a bit punchier Drums and a louder sub bass.

[I Have a Dream.[ :alcatraz: ]]

Too slow.

Not bad but still its not drum and bass.Too much distortion and no bass but the beat is nice.

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Impact]

High quality stuff

Top notch track man!
Definitely deserves releasing.The bassline is very nice and the synths are perfectly chosen for it.
Nice work keep it up.
