Ryzmik's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Protagonist]

That intro got me hooked! I like the transition from a little bit of trance to a techno beat during the first half, and the build up was enough to prepare me for what was coming next!
I think the second drop was awesome too, I like fast notes up and down, as you said it gives more energy but it felt a bit saturated, maybe cause of the lead, Idk if it has some slight distortion FX, but generally that was very enjoyable!

[Feel The Beat]

Oh yeah, I'm feeling it! XD
Nice upbeat vibe, this is my favourite type of techno: melodic and fast paced, with buzzy leads and background arps. It could have some break at the middle, for being more calm and not very repetitive, but if it's called "Feeling the beat" I suppose that doesn't matter. Good jam! :D

[NK - Technation (Vee Remix)]

All NightKilla's songs are amazing, nor even his old WIP projects can scape from being remixed, lol.
Very nice start I like this key better than the original. Althought there's some clipping, I enjoyed this remix much more cause it adds some variation: the gliding synth, the chords, etc. instead of listening the main melody again and again, such case as the original version. Nice remix!

[SilentCrafter - Polarity]

This is bestial! At first I spected it to be more dubstep than trap, but I can't deny that drop was awesome. The intro was really powerful with the claps and the plucked bass.
Just a personal opinion, if I were you, I could try to add some hi-pass right at the end of the build-up so the drop hits harder, it's not like I'm a pro at making build-ups, but just a suggestion.
No doubt why this should be featured!

[Chronos (ft. Carlos Delgado)]

It's incredible you used, if I'm not wrong, analog-like leads for the main melodies, cause I prefer complex digital sounds over analog sounds, but you managed it to make them fit very well in this theme!
The piano was a nice touch at the end. Would be a nice main theme for an adventure videogame!

Synfang responds:

To be completely honest, I wasn't even thinking about analog vs digital when I made this, but yes, agreed on it having a video game feel. Thanks for the feedback! :D

[Astromia MEW RMX]

Very empty. There's no bassline, no additional melodies, there's only like five instruments which plays the main score. You could have added hi hats or more percussion instead of just a kick. I think this remixes are quite overrated.

:(((((.

[Walk away (Vassamo remix)]

It sounds really professional! Really like this version, it has what the original needs, some powerful chords and arps. The final chorus was amazing. Nice remix!

Thanks mate!

[DJ Spyroof & Potato Inc. - Heaven On Earth]

Like the distorted chords in the build up. The drop feel very smooth, but it's still a nice calm theme :D

[DJ Spyroof & DJ Zekno - Techno Land]

You have chosen the ideal name for this theme. After the FX Kick drop and the build-up, I wasn't expecting how euphoric was going to be this! Just the part at 1:43 was a very random change, even so I liked it, some different melody doesn't fit so bad after all.

I should have listened more of your collabs!

[~Rukkus~ [Dubstep]]

I've heard some NightKilla's styled songs, in my opinion this is the most accurate. The beginning sounds very similar to his 2011 songs, and the drops are like a mix of his 2012 and 2013 dubstep drops.
I liked the arpeggios and acid sounds with the slow rhythm, but it's rare that NightKilla used acid synths in his dubstep tracks. The first drop was good, the blippy sounds, hoovers and the 'wubby' sounds are very characteristic of him. The second build-up was really good, the drums and the growls rising are a nice touch. The second drop was freaking awesome! It just sounds so MASSIVE ;-) and it reminds me of "Figures" :D
Very nice tribute!
