VorticityMusic's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Promethea]

Sounds really fucking good man, that second drop is mental. I'd listen the shit out of this if it was on spotify ngl.

Lubloom responds:

Thanks a lot! I absolutely loved working on the second drop, this was around the time I got ShaperBox 2 and the time-warping stuff it has (similar to Gross Beat in FL) was so much fun to use.

I was planning on putting it on Spotify soon (before the end of Feb) but it will definitely be going up within a month

[X3ll3n "Summer Projects" WIPs]

These are all insane, looking forward to the releases one day. I'm no mixing expert but it does sound really solid and clean too, so nice work. :)

X3LL3N responds:

Thank you very much, I could finish year in some monthes or over a year depending on how much money I can save

[yStep]

Very nice. This is not dubstep at all though haha, more like complextro or electro house.

DJVI responds:

Newgrounds genre options arr very limited :D

[ParagonX9 - Chaoz Fantasy (X3ll3n Remix)]

Sounds hella nice. Not really melodic dubstep at all though, this is more drumstep.

X3LL3N responds:

I see, thank you !

[Chicago]

Sounds really dope. The intro and build up is nice an atmospheric and melodic, plus the drops are entertaining. The drops have a little less of a melodic feel than most melodic dubstep songs I've heard, but that doesn't make it any worse. Since this is such a banger I'd love it if it was around 4 minutes rather than a measly two and a half, but I won't take that away from the rating. Truly stellar.

Lubloom responds:

Thanks! I usually try to incorporate heavier elements in my melodic dubstep just because I think it sounds cool and a little different to the norm.

I need to work on making my songs longer, I usually run out of steam after a while and find it hard to come up with ideas, but I will try and improve on that. Thank you very much!

[Dry Out 2.0]

Going to be honest here, a little bit disappointed. The intro melody is a lot simpler than the previous one for some reason; it's a little bit annoying. Secondly, the best part of the original version was the drops. And these drops are quite lackluster in my opinion and are not especially unique. They also lack bass; the sidechaining seems a little over the top. You could've turned them into a sexy drum and bass drop or something - dry out has the perfect tempo for it. Your Base After Base and Can't Let Go 2.0s were really nice, but this one doesn't really match up to them.

I guess the sound design and mixing is obviously a lot better, but I still much prefer the original.

DJVI responds:

Well I was aiming for a calmer version than the original. But thanks for review! :)

[Melodic Dubstep Drop]

Sounds great, just add some phat growls in there ;)

X3LL3N responds:

Trickshot made some on the 2nd drop

[Cosmic Growl]

Nice to see something different and fresh for once. 10/10

DJVI responds:

Awesome, thanks for the feedback 😀

[X3ll3n - The Spook]

Sounds hella nice. Just not a fan of those open hihats in the middle part of the song.

X3LL3N responds:

I see, thanks :)

[Club Madness]

Pretty nice, although it doesn’t really remind me of your older techno stuff.

DJVI responds:

Thanks for the review!
