sleepFacingWest's audio Reviews on Newgrounds

[fireo dominus]

that choir sounds amazing! Is that a virtual instrument or did you sample actual singing?

father-p responds:

two VSTs, layered. and both are free! it's the SAM orchestra and Labs Choir from spitfire. Both are good on their own but the free version of sam has a very limited range, and Labs sounds pretty boxy on its own. but if you layer them and pan them separately a bit it sounds great!

[NG STARS Full OST]

This is really good. You are insanely talented.

[TL - Credo]

sounds great as always! Love the sacred music vibes early on before the dominant 7th.
I like how loose you're able to make this feel despite being created in box.
You might want to consider some parallel compression in the drums to help give them a bit more presence and punch, but that would be overly nit picky.
Best of luck with the internship. Is it music-based?

TaintedLogic responds:

Thanks so much for the review, SFW! I appreciate your critique of the drums. I've been trying to get better at mixing drums in Logic for a while now, and admittedly I'm not quite there yet.

And no, the internship isn't music-based. I'm studying to be an urban planner, actually. Cheers!

[Dastardly Deviants and Dizzy Detectives - VAC14 Round 1]

awesome!

[Supervillain II]

Really awesome hearing this sort of thing from you. The pointilist horns are pretty cool and work well against the backdrop drone of the strings.
If you're going for realism, I might suggest automating swells for the strings. String sounds are almost never fully stagnant and it can be a challenge to keep perfectly straight energy across the string for the entirety of the bow from frog to tip. Most notes will swell ever so slightly in a parabola (either across a number of notes, or swell in/out per note depending on how you want to phrase it). I also might toss the entire ensemble in a bigger more reverberant room. If these horns and strings were recorded live, they'd need a pretty big soundstage. The dry samples sound a little unnatural.
And if you're not going for realism, please ignore all of my stupid suggestions. Your music never needs any help.

[grotte sous-marine]

this is awesome!

[longing (or, wedding song to a broken soul)]

just lovely vocal arrangement!

[r e v i v e r]

this sounds great! Is this all synth? That distorted drone sounds almost exactly like an ebow on a guitar!

Troisnyx responds:

Yeah, it's all synth. ☺️ Glad you enjoyed it, thank you for listening!

[Carol of the Drum ~ Troisnyx ver. ft. Spadezer]

This is awesome! Love the spacey production.

Troisnyx responds:

Aaa, that's kind of you. Thank you so much! ☺️

[My Formless Companion]

This is great! Any friend would be lucky to have a piece like this dedicated to them.

Slintas responds:

Thank you so much!
