cyan11's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[GRIND]

I like the lofi elements. The layering is pretty cool, by the 1:20-ish part I was hoping to hear the addition of another synth, like maybe something on the high end. I think this has potential, but could use some more layering. Towards the end there's some effects added, and I think it suits the ending, so kudos there.

alterstat responds:

alright thanks

[DavJT - Lofi]

Nice chillstep. just short.

[Aether.]

I like the ambiance and the crystal-like synth. I wish this just stayed as an ambient track. When the other synths come in, it seems as the song would transform, but it really doesn't stay that way for too long, then dead silence?? and some kind of reverse speech. A bit odd of an ending, and this track has some real potential, my favorite is the first 30 sseconds. The phased beat is okay but like I said this part has no continuity. IDK, I like it but think it could use some work, a revisit, or even a remix.

TrailMixerGD responds:

I could add some more variation, maybe add some other melodies or leads to make less repetitive, but I agree that it does fall off towards the ending

[Dream Place]

I really like the chill, dreamy feel. Fitting title! it's such a warm, calm piece. I'm not sure if that static in the background is intentional, it's not that bad, but just my preference that it not be there. but it does add a lo-fi element. Overall this invokes positive vibes and I really dig it. Not sure if this is hip-hop, maybe just because of the beat? but anyways I don't really care about genres. Only real complaint I have is the super-abrupt ending. The closing could have been a lot better in my opinion, and it's not that hard of a fix, just end on a note and let it ring out with maybe a high hat.

NitroOrient responds:

Thank you!

[Whispers (feat J. Osterhoudt)]

Righteous! Love it. Makes me want to pick up the guitar again but I sold all mine. Solid piece my friend.

FarFromSundown responds:

Thank you!

[I feel it]

Not bad for being relatively new to making music. Production quality is actually pretty good. The piece is enjoyable as well. I can’t help but feel like something is missing, like maybe on the high end. Either that or the mix seems unbalanced towards the low end. But compositionally, I like it. I wasn’t knowing what to expect, and this was a pleasant surprise.

EgorPLAYbel responds:

first comment ever, lol. thank you for rating! I'll try to work on the things you mentioned.

[Playful Track]

I really love the composition and vibe. Great stuff

[Release - Throwback]

Love this! The production quality is so good!

FarFromSundown responds:

Thank you! I always loved this mix

[Long Road Ahead]

Gorgeous composition. It sounds lovely. You are a true composer, this sounds straight out of an epic movie, like in a time of peace. I'm interested in the album when it's ready, just needs a mastering from what I can tell, the waveform suggest its not fully mastered. Still sounds great though. Anything less than 5 stars is a travesty in my opinion, classical gets a lukewarm reception here I don't know why. I really cannot say anything negative about this track. I love it.

AceMantra responds:

Thanks for listening and the kind words! I'll be sure to make an announcement when the album is ready.
