JAXXN's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Rukkus - Fairydust (Ravitex Remix)]

Welp. You gave it heavier, louder percs for the drop which adds to the heaviness and dopeness of the remix. That build up was almost too heavy for the drop, and even if it is just a cut up version of the original, you cut it up in a very clever way that worked out VERY nicely for the track. I think this remix was a great success in your part! 4.5 stars!

Ravitex responds:

I gotta say, your review cheered me up. Reason for that is that I wasn't very positive about it as I was finishing it.

Making it sound heavy was one of the goals in this remix. Turned out good.

About the cuts of the original, I can assure you that this is NOT just a cut up version of the original. Yes, it does include cuts from the original, but I can't say that it's only that. Every cut sample from the original was backed up by a custom synth. Piano, growls, everything was backed up. Samples or the synths alone just don't do the job good.

Anyway, thanks for your feedback!

[Xtrullor - Ego Death]

I REALLY like this track! One of my favorites by you! Did you use Harmor for the basses in the drop?

Xtrullor responds:

This track was mostly based around using the Frequency Shift effect in Massive. That's the "flappy" effect you hear in the bass. Up until Reverie I used Massive exclusively, because it was the only synth I knew how to use properly. I've diversified to a bunch of different synths ever since.
