Godknown's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Merry Kemo Kush Christmas]

Not sure about that rap, but the beat itself is pretty hot. You should take a little bit of that reverb away from the vocals, and then place an EQ to emphasize the mid-high tones in it. It was mixing too much with the lower-regions of the frequency map. Other than that, nice instrumental. Not much to say about that in particular. Keep it up!

[Melody of the heart]

Wasn't particularly interested in this song. The motif was kind of annoying and played for too long throughout the song. I like the build-up, but the motif was just too strong. What I mean by that is what you basically started out with from the beginning. The C-G-E-G-C-G-E-G type of pattern. Needs more breaks. I like the crystal-like sound in the song, though. There's the heart. Keep going.

[Canterlot Ruins]

I like the atmosphere you created in it with that sort of strange liquid-like instrument. This song could do without the harsh guitars that come in later on. Keep it nice and soft. The distortion in the guitar is really what throws this off so much. The bass you use in it sounds kind of cheesy, and maybe you were going for that. The drums that come in later on don't really match, in my opinion. I'd say give another attempt at capturing the post apocalypse, as this didn't catch it all as completely as I really think it should have.

Gokenshadow responds:

Yeah, I kind of feel that way about the song as well. I just reached a complete creative stagnation while writing this song where the only thing I was able to do was listen to it and feel that there was something wrong with it but not be willing to change it as drastically as was necessary because I didn't want to ruin what was right about it. I suppose I'm just posting it here to let it go and get it off of my chest, so I can move on to better songs and not constantly re-listen to this while doing nothing to fix it.

[The End]

I gotta say, this pretty neat. I like how creative it is. The Koto is definitely my favorite part. Only thing is, the song feels really light, despite how incredibly well put together it is for what I usually hear in user-created dubstep songs. If only it were heavier, and maybe if you toned down the high-pitched glitching a little bit. Anyhow, it sounds really good, and I hope you keep it up! You've got potential!

Kaskrin responds:

I shall dedicate my next song to your request for heaviness!

[Funkadelic 2]

Repetitive, not really interesting, and the lead was too loud. It's an unbalanced mix. Could use a lot more tweaking. Turn down the lead fifths, and maybe use a punchier bassdrum rather than one which is heavier on the sub. The tight snare needs a tighter kick to accompany it. Layer more, and don't just copy and paste what sounds decent to you already! Do your best to, at least. Take care and good luck!

[[NB] - More Generic House]

It sounds like it should sound good. You mixed it really well, and the beat is pretty catchy. Though, as you said, it sounds pretty generic, and I'm not a huge fan of that generic sound. The lead is either a little too loud or you could use a better synth for it. I think you pounded this one out nicely, but seriously, deviate from the norm a little. You'd be doing yourself a big favor. Good luck!

weemeee responds:

I usually do, but it's my own way of showing how easy it is to make this kind of stuff without putting much effort into it at all, i literally spent 30 minutes on this.
Kind of sad, isn't it?

[fun birdy game]

I have to say, I actually liked the experimentation a bit. It's not a full-fledged song, and I sort of wish it were. Much more could be done to this. Anyways, keep up the good work.

You are the best person in the world!!!! Thank you for listening GodKnown

[(CHS) Zelda:Midna's Smile]

I love it. The atmosphere in this is very well done. My only gripe is that the bass is kind of low, but that could be my speakers. I subtract half a star because the piece just doesn't have a complete feeling to it. Could've done much more with it, I believe. Still, excellent job! And welcome back!

ChaosDragon004 responds:

Always good to get some thoughts on the new piece. Sorry about the bass but when I played this piece in the car originally, the bass was too high so I took it down a notch. The fault lies in my abilities to master my music, it's something I am very much working on. Hopefully the problem can be corrected in the near future. Glad you enjoyed the piece and thanks for your time bro.

[Wolverine's Journal 2]

Really interesting piece you have here! I was definitely getting down to it, but there were subtle things which had me thoroughly enjoying this more than I thought I would. So you get a big five from me. Very well done. You should probably remaster the track and bring the sounds forward a little more so that it doesn't sound so sombre. You've got the idea and it sounds really good, but now it just needs some extra weight added to its presentation. Good listen, overall. Thanks.
