The-Cupbearer's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[WL - ... where am i again?]

A very well-produced droning piece indeed. You did well to balance the sound such that it was nice and loud without being overwhelming, and the background ambiance complimented the main harmonics masterfully.

[Visualize]

This is a pretty smooth and consistent piece you have here. Perhaps a little underwhelming in terms of melodic range, but perhaps that is not what you were going for.

[Dreamy ambient]

Not so sure how I feel about the basic drum effects used at the end of the track. If it were me, and I wanted to use this kind of percussion, I'd introduce it earlier in the song and then insert gaps within it to offer opportunities for breathing room and tension building. Course, I'm not the type to use this sort of percussion at all, so take that as you will.

Aside from that, this is a very solid foundation, and I think you will get something pleasing out of the final product.

yea, got corrupted unfortunately, didn't remember to back up the last save i did

[Nova]

This is a pretty nice minimal and unintrusive piece. Seems like it doesn't loop all that well though. Perhaps a more gradual fade-in might help that, or you could just reclassify it as a song.

[Empty]

I saw nothing.

[Plague]

You're definitely going... somewhere with this piece. The use of the default Tibetron bell preset in Sytrus got me thinking of my olden days in FL Studio, and then toward the middle, I started to think you'd just left a corruption in the rendering process as a deliberate part of the song. Then the last part kicked in and I did not know how to feel anymore.

All in all, a worthwhile listen, I think.

[Something like nostalgia]

Not bad. Gives off a vague Caretaker-like vibe, though not quite as chaotic.

[Boreality]

You did pretty good here considering you used only one instrument. Keep working on your melodies though. I think if you tried another with this same instrument, you could get something really cool going.

Thank you! :D

[Me]

I dig the sound of the breathy lead, though I am unsure how I feel about the way it is paired with the warbly background pad. I feel the melody was a bit meandering as well, though it was not offensive in any way. The way you cut out at the end is also a neat effect, though perhaps a bit untelegraphed by the rest of the song.

Still, I think this turned out pretty well, and I would encourage you to keep trying new things in this direction.
