Synfang's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Crazy Dave]

I definitely like the first half of this more than the second, TBH, but still decently solid overall. Really like the main theme of this, at least; might even consider remixing this at a later point, with that in mind. Keep up the good work!

Arponax responds:

Hit me up when youll want to make something :D imma give you materials.

Thanks tho...i like the first part more too, but still its not the same which is the main point :D

[Our hero]

Okay, so my feedback... the first two minutes sound good and are definitely your style, but I hesitate to say they necessarily fit as a hero's theme specifically. Later on, there's a handful of REALLY short instances that I think were a bit too empty (and again, like I said, not long at all; only one beat long or so... such gaps aren't inherently bad, of course, but I don't know that they were appropriate at the particular moment). I also noticed something odd in the panning of what sounded like an electric guitar, but that could just be my headphones acting up.
Otherwise though, pretty good! I almost see this as approaching a vein of "what if Xtrullor made electro instead of dubstep" in some aspects.

Arponax responds:

Thanks for the feedback.
When it comes to empty sequences....i tried to give time to get rested a bit between harder parts of the song, maybe when i listened to it hundreds of times it didnt felt like too empty or something, anyway still alot to learn afterall :D

I've been messing with panning and if you mean in the last part where theres that second sequence the AMPed bass is indeed panned to the left for the transition but then its centered.
If you didnt meant this, im not sure what tbh.

Its nice to be compared to some other people i guess :D

Glad you like.

[Severman & Chris Ponate - Cry For You (X3ll3n Remix)]

I see I'm not the only one using Chris Ponate vocals around here. :)

Anyway, I'm not sure I agree with some of the composition here, though as this is a remix, I'm not sure how much of that is you and how much of that is Severman & Chris Ponate. What I can say is I definitely like the sound design/selection on this song, and most of the mixing... my only real criticism is that I'd have made the low end a bit stronger, but maybe that's just personal preference. In any case, good work!

[TimeSpender]

NGL, when I saw the title in your posts on Discord, I initially thought the title might be a joke at how much time you put into making this. Jokes aside, it's definitely solid, though I actually don't like this as much as some of your other works. Maybe it's because I'm used to your style having the bass and such be a bit more front-and-center (i.e. like how a lot of Boom Kitty's music is), if you will. Definitely not bad though, even if I do question some creative choices in the early parts as well as what I already said.

[Synfang - Crosshairs (Arponax remix)]

NGL, I think this one might be my favorite of the remixes. Definitely the most unique of the bunch, that's for sure. Thanks for doing this! :D

Arponax responds:

Thanks...it was fun to make.

[Blackout]

Very unique next to what I've heard before! Keep up the good work! :D

Laughtrr responds:

Thank you! :)

[Some melody flip challenge thing]

BTW, for anyone here after me, I'm "this guy." XD

DJCl0udZMusic responds:

Yes XD

[DJ Ses ft. JohnyTiger - Feed The Wolves (Produced By JohnyTiger)]

Well...I mean, it's not bad. Definitely beats anything I've heard that was rooted in SoundCloud. But in comparison to your previous works, I'm a little underwhelmed, NGL.
