Lich's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[Settle it IN SMASH]

Just had a good few listen throughs of this track and I am pretty impressed with the amount of synth and Orchestrated elements which are present. They are not too hard or 'stand-out' individually in design but seem to work well together.

With the sole exception with how wide the panning seems to be for the brass (maybe abit too much offside?) I think the mastering on the track is just right and compositionally it's pretty solid. Bonus points for your FX work, especially at the beginning section of your track, it sounds pretty awesomeeeeeeeee!

This is a good track to eat my Pizza to.

I'm gonna give this track a rating of Pepperoni/10
Delicious.

Pretty much does what it says on the tin, it definitely sounds like a trip-hop inspired track with it's morphing/evolving textures and smooth composition.

I love how evolving all the textures and pads sound, easily my favorite elements of your track. They seem to be the defining feature in my opinion and blend together nicely with your Piano and your bass.

Personally I would compress the kick abit more and make it maybe 1/2db louder as it's surprisingly easy to forget it exists in this track (if it was intentional, disregard what I just said haha). Maybe a subtle amount of reverb to go with the rest of the kit to compliment the pads and bass work?

Overall I enjoyed listening through this track a good few times both on it's own and also attending to background tasks in my kitchen at the same time (good atmosphere for doing the washing up to!).

This may be the longest Experimental/Cinematic piece ever uploaded onto Newgrounds.

The whole piece seems very Adventure and/or RPG friendly. It seems to project a very mellow and individual feeling to it, the only-the-fly recording you did for it on the CLP-230 certainly works overall and I quite astonished by the quality of the audio considering this is unedited.

Please make more pieces like this!

You think so? If this would've been a minute or so longer, the file size would've actually been too large to upload XD

This improvisation, along with a lot of my music is very inspired by all the Final Fantasy games (especially VII), so it's no wonder if it could fit an RPG :3
I really like the CLP-230 myself. It doesn't have many sounds, but the keys are great to play on, and the quality of the sounds is very nice. To my piano tracks, I tend to add reverb and some other stuff in Cubase, but I didn't feel like this needed any editing.

I will make more stuff like this in the future, I'm sure of it!

Thanks for the review and for all the kind words. All your stuff is quite amazing, btw!
