Chocnoon's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Chocnoon - Thinking About You (Aeda & CasualBreather Club Mix)]

first time judging kinda nervous 🥺😁

~{Creativity}~ (10/10)
The fact that you guys managed to stretch this song to 8 minutes without getting repetitive by expanding the vocals is fascinating. I've probably heard a few trance tracks that use guitars at all, but this one takes it to a new level! This deserves a 10/10 in creativity.

~{Composition + Structure}~ (9.5/10)
I feel like some of the vocals were a little bit off in the first buildup. Like I said in Creativity, you used a guitar in the second part instead of repeating the same vocals, which is pretty cool.

~{Sound Design}~ (10/10)
Not much to say. I love the acid part at 4:17. The instruments are very rich and blend together perfectly overall.

~{Mixing + Mastering}~ (9.75/10)
I would turn down the pad in the drop just a little bit, but aside from that, everything is clear! The mastering is perfect at 70, maybe even at 80.

~{Atmosphere}~ (10/10)
The whole song has an ambiental yet energetic feel that's perfect for trance raves. No parts feel empty at all.

Rating: 49.25/50 (9.85/10)

I like how you blended together Ekowraith, Rob Mayth and DJ Splash's styles in one song. I could definitely see this be dropped by Ekowraith. Overall, this is pretty much a classic hands up song with some interesting elements.

~{Composition + Structure}~ (9/10)
The build up is very interesting, as you've handled the low pass filter and the vocals very well, which is pretty cool. The drop is very energetic and cool, and I like how you used a different melody in the second drop to make the song less repetitive.

~{Sound Design}~ (9.25/10)
The kick is very punchy, perfect for a dance song. The lead is very rich and strong, and it blends really well with the square lead. I feel like the only thing that's missing is a sub-bass in the parts where the bass isn't there, which is slept on in lots of hands up songs (a simple sine or triangle sub could work).

~{Mixing + Mastering}~ (9.5/10)
Mixing is pretty good, as no parts are clashing or any instrument is either too quiet or loud. Mastering is just loud enough to be listenable at 70, which is great.

~{Atmosphere}~ (8.5/10)
I could definitely see this be played in a rave, as this is very danceable. The part between 2:18 and 2:46 is a little empty in my opinion, since you could've used a pad to give it more flavor.

I actually find very interesting how your song changes from happy hardcore to hardstyle to hands up. I have actually never heard someone do this before, which is a good thing.

~{Composition + Structure}~ (7.75/10)
The structure is pretty good. But I feel like the fill is getting repeated in some parts, and I think it should be instead used only before the influential parts (ex: 0:31). I think the transition from happy hardcore to hardstyle is okay, but I feel like it's kind of sudden. You could've added a more proggresive transition for your lead. In the second drop of your song. You could've transcribed your hardstyle melody into the hands up part (in 4/4 of course) to make the song less repetitive.

~{Sound Design}~ (8/10)
The sound design is good, as no instrument is really out of place. The synths are mostly okay, but I feel like you could've used a harder lead in the hardstyle part, and the cowbell fill should've been replaced with a stronger fill, as I feel like it's very basic doesn't blend very well with the rest of the song.

~{Mixing + Mastering}~ (8.5/10)
Not much to say. The mixing is pretty good, as I don't feel like any instrument is clashing or too quiet besides the lead, which should be a little bit louder. The mastering could be a little bit louder, as some parts are pretty quiet.

~{Atmosphere}~ (8.75/10)
Even though the pace isn't too consistent, the song is overall very energetic and catchy. This could be a great song for someone who likes both happy hardcore and hardstyle.
