Xinxinix's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[J'espère]

A very gentle instrumental invoking that sense of sentimentality when there's a bunch of high-stringing violins and horns that don't rely on heavy plucking or deep notes. With the light inclusion of other instruments you can definitely see an orchestra playing something like this during the birth of Bambi. It's family-orientated and wholesome and responsible with its melody combinations.

My only criticism being that it's *too* responsible. Where's the bass? Where are the lows? The song doesn't *need* them but it'd be hella cool to find a deeper volume through filling the song out with more tone variance.

ZaazNG responds:

Thank you so much, Xin! I'd love to witness the birth of Bambi to this music irl one day :)
I agree with you, I didn't include alot of bass on purpose, to give it more of an airy, floaty feel, perhaps I went too far lol will definitely keep that in mind for the future :)

[just b]

Very sentimental-feeling song. It's a mood that goes really well with ending credits and can invoke that feeling of caring while at the same time having a few small "laughs" via fun switch-ups in the beat itself. I love the mix, I love the subtlety in all the instruments to coalesce and dance together rather than having anything really verbose and overtly aggressive.

A full-ass song with a lot of heart and care ^^

thanks!

[Berserker Mode]

I feel for something so aggressive, it could've been a bit more on the experimental side. Instantly during the intro you're drenched in whatever mood or combative atmosphere you were trying to place the listener in, and then there's that gorgeous reprieve of a piano solo. But the piano never comes back into play except much later on, the bass feels a bit too flat and could contain some more reverb to fill it out, and it keeps too much to its own structure, but the instrumental is solid.

It's a solid beat with a lot of its core concept being extremely entertaining and re-listenable ^^

[speak proper]

The beat reigns supreme in this match up, and I think maxx does a great job complimenting the tempo with the way he can roll his words and enunciate the wordplay phonetically. There just isn't enough presence on the instrumental to make it feel like it's a *fair* match. There's definitely room for both to compete with each other. Maxx brings that high energy and melancholy undertone with his way of presenting lyrics almost comedically, and it makes for a nice contrast to a low-toned lo-fi beat. But there isn't enough "oomph" in the beat to bring any direction or focus to how great it was composed.

Well done though, guys! Very fun ^^

You the best for this comment

[/Tilt/ - <b>w-core</b>]

High energy and fast paced, especially the given context that it drew inspiration from F-Zero, and the song becomes super giddy because of it. That element of danger and excitement work hand-in-hand. The mix feels very *full* for something that's chiptune.

I love how much it pushes the listener to either complete a race against the clock or to just bop their head.

ComposerEvans responds:

That was totally the feeling I wanted the player to have!

Thanks dude

[WAXTERK WEDNESDAYS]

Really tight for a quick beat ^^

[Midnight Mood]

A hip-hop track that's funky and fresh? Naturally.

There's nothing more to add here--it's mixed in a sense that it feels extremely full after a purposely flat intro--well done Milky. Keepin the groove alive and well ^^

(definitely feels like your comfort zone, too!)

[Too Much, but also Not Enough]

Really well executed idea format by starting out with a confident snare drum that carries the weight of the song while other playful combinations and keys are layered on top. Of course importing off of a Nintendo Switch means the mix is of one-caliber (mostly highs to mids) and could've used more mixing but holy hot damn it was a fun wittle bittle beat, yo.

[Analog Reprieve (Full EP)]

Lots of really concise melodies in here that tie together each track. It's an EP but an EP with absolute precision on hitting its main melodies that have a slight thematic tie due to the consistent energy and bass. There's fun and no duplication between tracks--each one feels original, and yet somehow tied together.

By the end of this, it put me in such a good, chill vibe--definitely worth listening to multiple times~
