YoannBB's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Morning Shift]

Dude, this after the quite scary tracks at the end of the night is sooo cool! It feels triumphant without going overboard because... we're talking about a mall, and it's peeeeerfect!

GoatSpunk responds:

Thank you! It's too bad the audio got messed up when mixed into the final piece. Also, I forgot to add reverb lol.

[RETROMETER - BACHFLY20]

this... somehow makes me feel nostalgic?? And I don't know why.
Either way, it's a sick feeling so thank you dude!
(the time signature is actually 7/4 + 9/4 btw!)

[NG Mall Music Collab: Closing Time]

Here are my favorite tracks from the collab!
This will be literally 99% subjective so please don't get discouraged if I don't mention your track 0_0
Huge GGs to everyone in the collab, and thanks to Teffy for dealing with all of this!

Teffy's first track is sooo coooool
The sound design part at the beginning introduces the vibe so well 0_0

BASCUTI's track continues the same vibe I feel like. It's as if a poorly preserved mall speaker was playing mall music and it's reaaaally moody.

JinZ's is a weiiiird banger. It doesn't interpret the closed mall as a creepy place I feel like, but as a... normal, but unconventional vibe place. That's creative I'll admit. My only complaint would be that that random keychange is quite jarring ngl

YoannBB's track is kinda mid I'll admit also why is the store blasting funk-ish at night

Janbuilder's is a STRAIGHT banger. Bro wasn't tired after making the animation of the collab??
I want to give this one another listen when I can as my listening conditions are trash atm but DAMNNNN BRO. (I can't hear the bass but it seems so coooool).
Also why can't I find you in the artist list? Let me put 5 stars on that thing

Aalasteir's ISNT a track I'd go out of my way to listen to but whaaaat??? Never heard anything like that and if your electronic store sounds like that at night plz nuke it I don't want it near me. Still though whaaat, GGs on the soundscape!

Father Beef's is quite relaxed compared to some nightmarish tracks like Aalasteir's. It's quite relaxing (and the slightly misplaced piano notes are cool too)

From this point onward I'm pretty sure that the time codes are inaccurate due to the primal beings who used AI so I'm stopping here and will continue when the description is fixed!

[Personas]

DUDE THIS IS SUCH HIGH QUALITY
Also please correct me if I'm wrong but that's an UNUSUAL genre, mixing rap and melodic dubstep. I am not a fan of rap but it was so seamless here that I'm not complaining!

[Mall Open 24/7. Forever.]

Didn't expect to actually enjoy a liminal piece like this one!
The first part has a sound soooo peculiar, and the shift is great too, seriously you cooked 0_0

carboluka responds:

Thank you!

[palilalia (form any% lvl2)]

WHAAAA mind telling me the source of that sax???
What a cool song, too bad it's so short!

SoTshu responds:

the sax is a sample I've found and chopped up, however I've also mixed it in with a sax Vital patch that sounds insanely good, dm me if you want it :P
thanks for listening ❤️❤️

[Reveries Long Gone]

HOLYYYYYYYY the composition... I love the vibe a lot and I wouldn't be able to tell you why. Like seriously it's something special that I've only heard in ONE album before.
It's when you merge almost traditionnal stereotypical japanese style with an almost retro soundfont I'd say?
Anyway to me the only thing that needs improvement are the actual instruments. So can tell that some of them aren't peak quality but I DONT CARE I'm 5 starring this

xFODDon responds:

AYYY I appreciate you a lot, honestly mid sounding instruments were intentional because I wanted it to sound like a PS1 game would sound, but I understand the criticism. I'll try for my other stuff to sound more HQ when that album is done, it's basically a part of the style now

[Fashion Dreams [ORIGINAL PITCH] (From the Newgrounds Mall Music Collab 2)]

DUDEEE
I FEEL THE FASHION STORE VIBE SO MUCH
I can't even put anything less than 5 stars. Any possible flaw is a flaw of the fashion store's music anyway lol

[Downtown Drown]

Bro this freaking ROCKSSS

[Mach Saber X(MS-X)]

This is extreeeemely catchy! There's even my favorite chord progression lol
if ONLY there were bass! It would have been one of my favorite NG pieces in a gooood while

RetroCarrot responds:

The bass isn't super loud, but it's definitely there. Other than that, I'm glad you liked it.
