TeffyD's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Assault Rhythm]

that melody sounds really familiar but I cant put my finger on it, the vibe in general reminds me of (not completely but close to) Pilot Wings. I like it.

Danirbu responds:

Everyone keeps telling me that this song sounds familiar, I really hope I didn't plagiarise anything... But thanks!

[Us - Chapter 3 Piano OST [JAMUARY DAY 14]]

It's very bittersweet sounding, the 6/8 flows very nice to each part, and as I've mentioned before very nice piano timbre. I like it, and if you ever wanted to collab or something I'd be down for that

Quarl responds:

Hey sorry I missed this, I was so overwhelmed in January I missed a bunch of reviews. Now is probably not the best time to talk about collaboration, I got a bunch of new equipment coming in the mail soon which is going to distract me to death. I wouldn't mind doing something down the road though, you just gotta bother me about it until I feel guilty. I am legit the easiest person you will ever guilt into doing things :D

[Rocket Science]

Very nice synth sounds, I like it. What do u use?

RedCocoa responds:

Thanks :D

I basically only use VST synths, Sylenth1, Serum and Mini V3 are my most used ones.
I do a lot of sound shaping with effects though, my main effects are Valhalla VintageVerb, the Ableton stock delay, Echo, RC-20 and EQ8.

[User of the Day]

very epic indeed, idk how people get the stutter effect around 2:53 but I like it a lot

ErikMcClure responds:

I don't know either, it's just a sound effect I used from a giant library of epic drumhits.

[BLOOD FOUNTAIN]

very cool synth around 2 min, i like it

Hyenaedon responds:

Thanks, glad ya dig it

[let's go again]

that drum groove has the perfect compression to it, and the sidechain is sick too, only complaint is it's too short, i love it.

Xorberax responds:

extended version coming soon :) -- check my discord for a preview!

[일렉트로닉 뮤직 [Electronic Music]]

Nice change ups and perspectives, I like it

Vista-Sound13 responds:

I can relate, buddy, and I'm glad you can too! Thanks! :D

[Time Bomb]

sick drum tone and guitar tone, also the synth that comes in around 1:20 fits really well. 2005 rock-esque vibes like the Killers or something, i like it

SpinWires responds:

You made our guitarist Jay very happy with this comment. He's a big Killers fan.

[Don't Give Up Till It's Over]

i like how punchy the kick is, and the wubby stereo bass, also the piano is super crisp sounding, which i can never get as good, i like it

Quarl responds:

I'm surprised you caught that stereo on the lead. I use a splitter to send the lead down two channels, one to the left and one to the right. Either signal can be stacked with fidelity units or effects. It gives me a sense of control over the lead or it just makes a messy patch, I have no idea :D

Edit: forgot to say, I do the same stereo trick to the piano but the brightness comes from a brighter piano patch with good samples. Reason has some punchy pianos. I like playing BRIGHT pianos irl. Some have said that my piano patches sounds cheap or mechanical but to me it just sounds like the kind of pianos I like playing. I like hammering on them at full velocity lacking sensitivity. I'll play with fingers splayed in four separate octaves for big full tones. All the notes can be the same or you can offset the left hand from the right hand but octaves working together give rich, full leads :3

[The Unknown]

very nice sidechain, also the swing(?) vibe helps as well

ZmitteR responds:

Thanks! It’s not actually a swing rhythm, some of the kicks are just off beat which gives it some groove
