3manon's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[DJ D-Face & CasualBreather - Crazy Unc]

bro 1:25 and on is EASILY the best I ever heard Kazabraza spitting
also the production is such a fun listen, this is actually crazy
only problem is that I would have loved to hear more (where is the outtro, bridge maybe) but that's just because I like it so much lol!

CasualBreather responds:

Thanks a lot!!! This song wouldn't actually exist without you!

[The Last One (AIM 2025)]

Okay I'm cooked and you've cooked, I'm wondering how this will go against Cloakedsoup's submission

Tangerine responds:

Cloakedsoup is really good at what he does. I guess we'll have to wait and see :)

[Chasing the Stars [HOUSE]]

hell yea

[1e9a1 -- Submerged - Remix]

I like this track and it's direction, but I don't recognize anything from the original track? I thought remixes were about interpreting one's track in your own way, but this just kinda sounds like you made your own track...

Aalasteir responds:

Hello 3manon, with all due respect: You chose the song, yet you didn't provide the MIDI and stems for your track. Without those, I had nothing to work with except approximating the chord progression - which is exactly what I did.

Please, I just want to enjoy making music, and your review left me feeling confused.

[ArikXu & Casual Breather: Nep-TunerZ]

This is a very nice concept that is executed quite nice. The vocal is the biggest issue for me, like voytek said, it has too much reverb (which can be justified because of the theme tho) and is very soft. The production overall is quite clean tho, so good job on that for whoever did that. Maybe the both of you or just Arikxu, idk

aedis-syopeen responds:

That would be my fault I thought putting more reverb was a smart idea T.T
Heavily regretting it...

[DJ Immy VS. DJ Fantasist - ~Station Nexus~]

Very nice on the spacey pads and I like the drops. Mixing is actually pretty well done for a genre as busy as this. In the supersaws you can get some buzzing frequencies that are unwanted tho, so be on the lookout for that next time. The drop at 2:35 is really clean, damn. That kick actually massaging my ear frfr. The break after that feels deserved, very atmospherical. This is might not be my taste in music, but it does what it's supposed and I can't find any negative remarks on that. Only thing is maybe the fade-out outtro feels a bit lazy, but the rest is super well made.

ImmyShack responds:

Really surprised you liked it!! True the outro was pretty lazy, I didn't want to miss my bus and be late for class, so i did a simple fade-out and went with my day. THANKS!

[Space Draft]

At first I was kind of bored by it but the atmosphere got to me eventually, especially at 1:20-1:40. After that the jungle part is like super chill to listen to. Absolutely nothing about this is "racing" tho up until 2:58 where the main lead is somewhat more high energy, but it overall lacks in that high-octane adrenaline filled rush music. Giving it 5 stars tho because I really like the track beside what it's made for

DaxCamdaxian responds:

Thanks for your honesty dude, I understand why the concept of race may not be fully represented but that's okay, the song ended up taking on its own identity 💪

[Farewell Home]

A pretty good track but jt's all pretty muddy. All of the impact from drums kinda just goes poof because of that. From 2:23 I'm kinda confused what that was supposed to be, the guitar after is pretty cool but everything js just super soft. The final chord somehow did have that clarity that I was missing in the rest of the song, everything kinda just muffled each other out

[Snikio & X3ll3n - Nitro [NGMC 2025]]

Very old-school with the speech again, I like that. The track overall gives me that 2015 chipstep vibes that I fw. Holy shit that vocal in the middle is CLEAAAAAN, I love the chopping. Would have loved to hear the vocal get more appearance in the second drop rather than just a background pad, as I feel like the break beautifully set up a vocal-focussed second drop. My only complaint I think! I was about to say it sounds too short but it's 3:30 minutes long so that's probably because I enjoyed it so much I wanna hear more of it!

X3LL3N responds:

We could have made a different drop, but it was a few hours before the deadline and Snikio needed to sleep.

We're likely gonna make a newer fuller version later on, same with the round 1 track !

Glad you liked my chip chops, usually people tell me they are terrible :D

[Voyage 2025]

Damn I do understand why it's not frontpaged unfortunately. It's a great track but the mastering is done in a way that kind of destroys the track. The kick pushes down every layer and slams through everything, which is really jarring. This track had so much potential but the mastering did it dirty unfortunately.
