AceMantra's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Beware - AIM]

The earworm is real! I just had to listen again because it wouldn't leave my head! The vocals fit the cat character perfectly.

[AIM - Where Even the Monsters Cry]

Very interesting track. It gives me an uneasy feeling at the pit of my stomach. Nice one.
One thing of note is around the 00:30 marker where the high strings kick in suddenly. People often listen to the highest frequencies currently playing first, and while you have a solid cello as a base, it is overshadowed by the high strings.
Additionally, higher octave instruments such as violins will often give off a feeling of "floating" whereas the lower instruments, like cello and bass, give a more "grounded" feel. I like how you used the strings to represent the crying of the creatures in the pit, however I believe it could have benefitted from a slow buildup and release, rather than a sudden start and end.

From 1:30 onward is quite good. I like the beat especially. Keep up the good work! I hope to see more from you soon!

[Helping Hand Is Hope (Final Station)]

Hello friend, haven't seen you in awhile. :)

This track is way different than some of your other works. I'm happy to see you're experimenting and continuing to improve. Cinematic guitar hybrid goodness! Love it!

zybor responds:

Howdy AceMantra. Thank you for your review and dropping by. Hope you are doing well. :)

[Look At That View]

Love the choir in this! Awesome job!

ZaazNG responds:

Thank you so much! The choir VST is the Olympus elements choir :)

[daffodils ~ bubblegum edition]

Oh, this is a pleasant experience! So joyful and bubbly. I have no critiques, just two thumbs up.

Great job! :)

[Horizon]

Nice track! It's been awhile since I've listened to a delicious House song like this one. Overall, good composition, good mix, and good listening experience.

Benji-G responds:

Thanks a lot! I appreciate it. Also, will you judge some stuff in NGADM this year? I heard SplatterDash was gonna lead the thing, but I'm curious as to who the other judges are gonna be. And yeah I'm hyping up for this contest like crazy at the moment haha.

[Barrett's Privateers Singalong]

I love how this turned out! Sorry I missed it; maybe next time I'll lend me voice as part of ye crew. Great job to everyone.

Ceevro responds:

I shall make a point to notify you when the next Singalong starts!

[Blarg]

Wub wub wub wubwubwub. Me like.

[Emotional]

Great composition and use of instruments. I could really see this in a video game.
Areas to improve: I would suggest looking into the loudness of your mix. Right now it's a little quiet. If you need some way to measure loudness, try Youlean Loudness Meter. There is a free version so no worries there. Without going too much into detail, a safe number to aim for is around -14 LUFS.

Awesome work! I hope to hear more from you! :)

ArtDeepMind responds:

Thank you, I agree with the loudness, will work on that :)

[Big Blue - Spadezer Cover]

Brrrrummmm gotta drive fast! Great work!
