Kabalist's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Catalyst]

Pretty cozy vibe going on here. Definitely worth a follow!

Keep it up!

//Kabalist.

Clerik responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Your productions sound very clean, i like :). Do you use ozone for mastering?

[Epic Music - Soar]

Now this is what I'm talking about! The composition is very nice overall, but I think you should refine the mix and quality of your chosen instruments by using other vsts. I recommend EWQLSO or Philharmonik, that's what I've fallen in love with at least.

Even though I'm kind of ticked off by the instruments, you did a great job on the writing-part, so 4/5 for you!

You got yourself a fave and follow on NG and Soundcloud!

Keep up the good work!

//K.

SteveSyz responds:

Thanks a lot! I too agree that the instrument quality isn't where its supposed to be but once I get an external hard drive, ewql libraries are mine to use :D who knows, maybe i might replace the instruments in the future! thanks again :D

[Furry Ghosts]

There is so much dissonance in this song. I have no idea what that baseline is all about.
Also, you should probably familiarize yourself with the mixer if you want to produce music for video games.

I can't give any tips on how to be a better musician, since good musicianship kind of comes from within, but you should try making something more listenable.

This just isn't my cup of coffee.

Plab responds:

It's dissonant on purpose, I wanted to try something new, my other tracks are less dissonant :)

[Arradon Faervel]

I suggest you download some better vsts so that the track is more listenable.
Go get yourself EWQLSO Gold Edition, and/or Philharmonik. You'll thank me!

Nice contest idea, though!

//K.

DESHIEL responds:

I'm kinda low on budget so I hope that it doesn't cost much lol xD

[The End Of The Age]

Now this is soothing. Kind of repetitive after a while, but it's cool idea.
Not a big fan of the lyrics though, mainly because they're kind of lame.

Keep it up

Thank you for your feedback. EricK717

[VOCAL.TEST]

GLaDOS called. She wants her core back.

Really though, I'm a fan of both death metal and dubstep, and I bet this could be somewhat cool if you do it right.

DHansen90 responds:

lol. i just did it fo the heck of it. to see if i could. mixing and everything sucks. hahaha

[Game Grumps Remix - Starmie]

Oh god. I'm sorry, but this was just plain awful. Not trying to be a douche here, but I think the best thing you could do with this song is delete it forever and start anew.

Cacola responds:

Well thanks for not telling me that you didn't like it without telling me WHY you didn't like it.
Seriously, how do you expect me improve if you just say "This sucks you're doing this wrong" without telling me what I did wrong!
Now it's ok if you didn't like the song, and it's ok if you leave a negative review pointing out the flaws of the song, but just saying it was "plain awful" and pretty much nothing else is kinda douchey.
Now that being said, thanks for taking your time to listen and review my music. And I can see why someone wouldn't like this, it's my first real Game Grumps remix, so it's not gonna be anything amazing, but if you're going to leave a negative review, try to be more helpful and constructive in the future.

[The Well]

I could totally listen to this whenever I need to relax. Pretty cool, man.
Although, the buzzing noise kind of distorted the song as a whole, in my opinion. That's something that could be improved.

Anyways, you've got yourself a fan! I could use more music like this in my life.

Take care, and keep it up!

//K.

Azhthar responds:

Glad you like it ;) Do you mean the clicking with buzzing noises? It should be meant like there is somethings busy going on in the forest. But maybe I think about taking this out...

[Temperamental- Kabalist Ft. DJ]

This is pretty cool, man! Feel free to message me if you're ever in a mood to do a planned collab.
I think there could be some more work on the vocal mix, though. If you want, I could fix that.

Apart from that; It's fun to hear some vocals on one of my tracks. Liked and faved!

Take care, and keep it up!

//K.

NeoAlchemist247 responds:

No problem, man. Yeah, I'll always be trying to find better ways of Mixing my vocals; so any advice you might have would be great. I'll hit you up sometime for sure!

[The Umbrella Salesman]

These vocals are giving me goosebumps. This stuff is so damn coolio.
One thing I would've done something about if I were you is to pitch the drum samples a bit. Without any pitching one clearly hears the monotony of the commonly used FL samples that you've included in the song. Other than that I really dig the mix and everything.

Keep up the good work!

//K.

steampianist responds:

very happy to know that a vocaloid gave you goosebumps
