AndrewCr's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Hazy]

Ambient tracks really are your thing, this is some analogue horror-grade stuff!

The whole song and the gradation reminds me of this one indie puzzle game called Creaks, where more instruments get added as you solve each puzzle further and further. Your song has the exact same "adaptive music" vibe

Lumiflag responds:

Tysm ! I wish you participated in this collab lol, you would have made great bossa nova !

[Memento^Mori]

The music collective idea sounds cool

[-Along The Waves-]

The bass around the start is a little weird, but it's nice otherwise!

Creeperforce24 responds:

Too loud? Hmmmmm

[Heading Home]

Man, I hate when I want to compose club EDM but it accidentally turns into lofi, happens all the time

Lumiflag responds:

I was just trying to make bossa nova in the first place 😭
I kept some elements of my original project, such as the acoustic guitar. I even had to bounce it to audio, resample it and stretch it to give that lofi vibe lol

One must take advantage of family members when a chance is presented xd

[Windows Vista]

Brings back memories of playing games on my dad's computer when I was a kid

[-Midnight Vibrancies-]

EQs are one of the most useful effects you can have, it's good to learn more about them!

The simplest advice I can give that will significantly improve your mixing is to EQ out any frequencies below ~200 Hz of every melodic aspect (pretty much everything except the bass and drums.) If you don't do this, you will either get a muddy mix, like yours, or the bass will clash with some synths, creating unwanted distortion and clipping.

Another thing that really helped me to get better at music is just watching Youtube. I can recommend this guy named Eliminate. He used to make songs out of the most random samples from Tiktok, for example a failing harddrive. He doesn't even treat his videos as education, you can learn from just watching and copying what he does. Go check him out, you won't regret it

Creeperforce24 responds:

Thank you for the advice, I did actually use EQ on the drums, that was a mistake

[Slash Inferno]

I REALLY like Waterflame's collab era
