XayberOptix's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Slave to the New World]

Nice Guitars!

I think the guitar playing is pretty cool! It's very precise! If the mix was better, it would be a 10! Great content! Keep it up!!

Throughdarkness responds:

Thanks for the encouragement! If you dont mind me asking, what is it exactly about the mix that is not good? I have a really hard time getting sound right as I do not have any equipment for mixing and I would really just like an idea as to what needs tweaking. Thanks for the rating to bro!

[A traveler between lands]

hey this has a really nice sound!

You've done a great job at making this sound intriguing! You don't mind if I add a few touches of my own to it, do you? I'll post up my collaboration soon. BTW, congratulations on your acceptance to Berklee College of Music! *high five*

Gian responds:

Sure man, thanks for the review. And about Berklee, I still can't believe it! Tell me when the collab is done. Peace.

[Nihil Novi]

nice use of fx!

you really nailed it with the use of fx. but somehow, your drum track is really hiding behind everything--should bring it out more. maybe add some more bottoms and mid range to it. nice composition--has variety. fun to listen to. good job!

Alturos responds:

Wow thanks a lot! I'll be sure to try and address the issues you mentioned!

[Ascension through Desertion]

Is that a REAL guitar?

The guitar sound sounds very REAL! Well, is it?? If not, you've gotta let me in on the secret and tell me which sound module you are using.

Tatara responds:

I hate to spoil the fun here, but unfortunately it is a real guitar. Sounds good though, eh?

[{Blaze}]

Very nice!

This is very nicely done! The beat drives the whole tune quite well. Nice usage of instruments. The mix is pretty balanced throughout. Keep up the awesome work!

cornandbeans responds:

Glad you liked it!
Thanks for the review. :)

[Dreamerz: Machines Will Fall]

My ears started ringing!!

Man that instrument.. not sure exactly what it is.. maybe a distortion guitar or buzzing synth or whatever... that sound made my ears start to ring. LOL!! Everything sounds so metallic but then I guess that's the whole point of it??! I've still haven't figured out what "Industrial" music really is but I guess it sounds much like this tune. hehe. Very good job on this! Keep it up! Check out my tunes too if you got time. Peace out.....

itsameyayo responds:

Industrial = dark/clanky techno, so this was my take on that : )

Thanks, your muzik rocks!

[Beyond What You See]

Made with Reason? What version?

So you made this with Reason? I recognize some sounds you used. :D I am a Reason 2.5/3.0 user myself. It's really an amazing program!! All of my most recent work is made using Reason. Have you tried "rewire" with Cubase SX? It's awesome!! You should try it. Anyway, this tune is not bad. Could use a bit more dynamics and different melodic patterns. ;) keep up the great work!

nightvision responds:

Looking back, I wish I had never uploaded this into Newgrounds. I would love to have a clean slate again. I'm working on some great new material.

Thanks for the review buddy, yes I already use ReWire.

[Black Fear Blood Red-Noumenon]

WHAT THE?!@!?

Is it even possible to play guitars like this!??!? GOOD LORD ALMIGHTY HAVE MERCY ON HIS GUITAR!!!! :D This is powerful music!!!!! Awesome material! The drums sound kinda "MIDI" tho.

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks man. Yes its possible to play guitar like that lol. The drums are a drum program no where even close to midi but still fake none the less. Once the we gather up enough money we are going to the studio to record the drums.

[The Love Effect]

awesome production!!

You guys did a really awesome job at putting this together! It could definitely pass for air play! did you guys record this in a pro studio? cuz it sounds pretty solid. there are some "thin" parts in there (like in the beginning) but nothing to worry too much about. it rocks! keep it up!!

yoroen responds:

Thanx, uh... actually we used several mixers and added some effects. its a pretty simple song to recreate though. please check out my other submitions.

[Paradise on E ZENON REMIX]

Rock on dude!

This soundtrack is very MOVING!! It's strong and has a lot of motion. Nicely done! What did you use? Check out one of my tunes called "Plutoniac." Thanks! Laters....

PERVOK responds:

I use FL 5 pro ed. to make my music.

Thanks for the review!
