FarFromSundown's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rejuvenate (feat. Metaljonus)]

Love this! Great vocals and all around sound! Would you be interested in doing a collab sometime? Would absolutely love to get your vocals on something and would definitely be open to do something instrumental work if you're ever interested.

BeyondOurEyes responds:

Thanks for the love! I'd be down to do guest vocals or something on a track of yours for a small fee, shoot me a message on my official Facebook so we can discuss in more detail!

[A Far Distant Land]

Really nice work. Love the ebb and flows on this. Nothing too intense, but it draws back just enough to really build a 'story' for the listener. Great job.

HollandAlbright responds:

Thank you so much!

[Dolphin Punch]

Sick tune man! Gained a fan!

DarkGod666 responds:

Ayy, thanks for listening!

[Casporb - We Don't Come In Peace]

I dig it! Not usually a dubstep kinda guy but I try to find appreciation in other genres. Well mixed and some cool nuances in there. Keep it up dude!

Casporb responds:

Glad you enjoyed! :D

[K.K. Metal Remix]

Very cool! Love the little nuances you added in for a little extra flare. Nice production quality too

octopus58 responds:

Thank you very much! I'm glad you liked it and noticed the detail :D

[Jataaka]

This sounds very immersing. Feels like I'm lost in a jungle and some predatory type thing is about to kill me. Nice work! Always enjoy hearing your pieces!

awardwinninggardens responds:

Glad you're having associations like that, thank you kindly :)

[Cat. 6 Spectre Preview]

I think the musicianship/writing is really solid, however the mixing (in my opinion) needs some work. It's very muddy and a lot of things blur together. I know it's a WIP so I'm not trying to judge too hard so forgive me if what I'm about to suggest you're already aware of. (I don't know how long you've been using Fl Studios.

1. The drums really seem far in the background. Only really the cymbals standout. The kick and snare aren't really seperated. Almost they're gain-staged much lower in the mix. I personally like a beefy kick to stand out and a snappy snare. Are the drums parallel compressed? They could really help things stand out. Several youtube tutorials on it if you need to know how.

2. Doesn't seem to be a lot of low end. Is there bass recorded yet? Would definitely like to hear some boomy bass and tight low in, to really round out the mix.

3. The guitars aren't really "clear". I can make out certain riffs and notes, and from what I'm hearing, it sounds like you're writing is really good. I certainly like the structure so far and the high energy of the song. But really wanna hear the guitar (and for that matter each separate instrument) cutting through the mix a bit better.

For a WIP, this is a good start. I would love to hear this as a final mix/master! Keep it up!

Dadlur responds:

Thank you for the short review! The entire point of the ep is to sound like it's recorded on a 4 track cassette recorder in a bassement somewhere, so the poor sounding mix is intentional rather than a lack of skill. Thanks again.

[Rejuvenate (Instrumental - feat. Metaljonus)]

Very awesome stuff! Nice mixing too!

BeyondOurEyes responds:

Thanks so much, glad ya dig!

[Devouring My Own Son]

Music is a good start. I think the drums could hit a lot harder though in my opinion. I'm all for twisted shit, lyrically, but at least try and be poetic about it man lol. I see what you're going for, but it's honestly like you didn't even try. I think if you re-address your mix, and spent more time on the lyrics, this could be something cool.
