Enveri's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Overdrive]

Although I'm not particularly a dubstep fan, I found this track very enjoyable. The way you switch back and forth between the dub style and the trance-like bits is well done. The bits where the switch is quickest (one such section starts around 2:50 after a moment of just guitar) are, in my personal opinion, the best sections of the song.

The mastering is done well, and nothing is too overpowering. I would've like for the guitar the be a bit louder, and perhaps glitched a bit (which is easily done through programs like Image-Line's Gross Beat). However, that is again a personal preference.
I liked your choice of synths, and the higher ones in particular. The bass felt... Stereotypical, though. Cliched, even. It's the same bass I hear in almost ever dubstep song. Perhaps a different waveform is in order (has anyone tried making a dubstep bass out of an organ)? Although that didn't detract from my overall enjoyment of the piece.

Your choice of chord progression was nice, and added a bit of umph, if you will, to the flow of the piece.
The buildup, while short, was well suited to the song. As was the ending/outro.

All in all, a well put together song. 5 of 5 and 4.5 of 5. Looking forward to more.

[Time Machine- Alias]

I like this. Your flow is a bit off (particularly when you first start your rap), although that can be contributed to the strange beat. Other than that, I can't think of much to complain about.

The sound quality of your mike is good, but I think you could tone the down the reverb on your voice.
You enunciate. Thank you.
The layering of your vocals, when you do use them, is done well. They're just subtle enough to compliment and not overpower the main vocal track. Not everyone can pull it off that well.

Overall, quite a nice track. Keep it up, man.

As a side note, this song reminds me of Samurai Champloo. Which is a plus, in my book.
