MRM3's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Some preview thing I made]

Oo, this is a really good start. Excited to see where you take this :p

Shaiichan responds:

Same lol :P

[Glowsticks (Remix)]

mmmm this has me bouncing like one of those cockatoos! Love it (:

G2961 responds:

Thanks! :D

[White Lies]

Heya! Long time no see, Q!
Glad to see that you're still at it, pumping out these reesey, grimy, disgusting tracks. I always love the random ass dialogue you manage to rip off of some corner of the internet, and the fact that your tracks usually have a message.
Also, that last few seconds had me laughing my ass off fr.

Quarl responds:

Oh wow, it really has been a while! I saw your name and my brain did those romantic spasms it does when trying to remember stuff, you know, the mental equivalent of pulling a lawn mower cord over and over again. Thank you so much for stopping by. It doesn't look like you've slowed down at all... time did it's thing again! You stop paying attention to the world for one frickin minute and the kids grow up, MRM3 graduates from audio school, and Elon Musk has another five children... it's crazy D:

[My project (REMAKE)]

I'm here after the update, so I don't have the same version TaintedLogic reviewed to compare.
This is honestly great overall, it has a clear theme and does well to execute it. The drum tones are very nice, and the atmosphere is very present, and as TL mentioned, it ebbs and flows nicely throughout.
I'd agree that this project could use a bit more polishing, but at some point, you just get to personal preference and artistic expression.
Well done, my dude.

I saw your post on the review request club, and figured I'd take a listen and give you some thoughts.

Simple synth, kick and snare/clap intro, has potential, but the levels need to be balanced to fit better with each other. The white noise risers should be quieter, you want risers to be subconsciously noticeable, but not in the front. 0:39-0:53, I like the trap vibes from the snare.
The melody is very repetitive, and is just constantly playing throughout. Add some variation as you move through segments of the song.
The chords coming in at 1:32 are very disonant, meaning they do not fit well with the key of the song/other instruments.
Overall, the song structure is good, you have ups and downs, and your segments are a nice length. The drums, though they need leveling and mixing, are solid throughout (though the offbeat kick later on does kind of throw one for a loop).
I'm always happy to see people doing music, even if it does take some time to hone your skills!
Keep up the good work, and good luck getting whitelisted for GD!

[Teoroom]

Nice mix, for realz.
Solid phonk song for sure.
That bass is bass'in, and the drums are mixed very nicely.
I might boost the high end a bit to brighten the mix slightly, but I also like the darker vibe this one has going for it.
Well done, dude.

DigitalCreate responds:

Thank you, this is very motivating!

[Full Diamond (second part)]

Hey, a fellow FL user!
The morphing bass is cool!
Actually, I like all of the sounds here. The automation and breaks you got goin on help to liven up the track, for sure, and I love the scream(s).
As far as improvements (just my opinions)
This could use some balancing and EQ'ing to help everything blend together better.
Nice groove ya got here, looking to hearing more in the future!

Gonna scout ya, which will make it so that your songs show up on the music frontpage when you release them, and get more exposure. Y'know, just don't like break the rules, plagiarize, yaddayadda.

ProdByCujoh responds:

thank you bro i really appreciate it🙏

[OCTAGON]

Dude. Production on this one is your best by far.
Here's a section-by-section breakdown with my thoughts as an engineer.
0:00: You have a nice mix in the whole intro
0:32: That kick sounds 👌
0:48: Nice mix here
0:51: The mix drowns out the drums a bit, I'd work on leveling this part to make sure the drums punch a bit more.
1:14-2:23: Nice change up, and then build
2:24: Again, drums are buried a bit, and the whole mix is a bit muddy in the low/ mid-low end, with all the instruments/drums fighting for that frequency range
Solid outro

I might boost the high-end on the whole mix, but you do have a nice dark theme going here, and it works really well. It's one of those things that you'd have to try, and then see how you feel about it.
Again, this is definitely your best so far, as far as overall mix quality. I know you're limited with garage band, but this is solid for sure.
Good luck with the GD Whitelist, and keep up the good work man!

Mzkzoz responds:

Just...

Sick, man. You're the freakin' god.

Thanks, man. Thanks.

I will try and focus on what you tell me.

[Soul Star]

The ghostly choir is 👌and the detuned synths go along well with the 8-bit theme.
I think this has got to be my fav of yours so far.
It would be cool to collab sometime, if you're interested :p I have a hard time making myself make music, especially with how busy life is atm, but I'd be down to have an extra reason to do something ^^
Hmu if you're down, or would be open to sending me the stems for a project, and I'll see if I can do a bit more mixing than you can do with GarageBand.

Tips for this one: Boost that kick man. If you want danceable, you need a pumping kick to groove to, and it's so buried in this mix that it's hard to hear.

Keep up the good work m8, and I look forward to seeing what you might come out with in the future!

Mzkzoz responds:

Thanks, dude!! A lot of thanks, man.

I really appreciate what you do for me

Whenever we can, I will be happy to colaborate with you! In any moment!

[Forest's hidden secrets]

I like the progression on this one, the way it builds over time.
Your mixing has improved a lot!
This one is a bit repetitive, but that's just personal preference; you did say that it was in the description.
I have no doubt that your mixes will continue to improve as you gain experience and repetition.
Keep up the good work :)

Mzkzoz responds:

Thanks

I don't have words.

Thanks for everything.

Whenever you want me to review your songs, just tell it! Have a good day, dude

You deserve it all. No kidding
