[Picturesque (VIP)]

i'm really loving the minor tonality here, as well as the gorgeous melodies! admittedly the production is a bit rough in spots, especially the basses and to some degree the pads and chords, i feel like they could use more post-processing or a more unique flair. i also feel like there could be more ear candy, like impacts and other transitional effects. but overall this is very nice!

[Random Song i made in 1 hour]

a bit rough in arrangement, but otherwise pretty cool

[Inspiring, Goals, Teamwork, Lotsammoney]

an absolute husk of creative expression, irredeemably soulless. 10/10

[Day 10 v11]

marvelous! the key and chords remind me of subtronics and ganja white night's "womp portal", perhaps they are the same? the main bass is pretty cool, although i feel like it may lack some stereo width. the chiptune leads are also really nice!

i do feel like the mix is a bit too saturated in some places though. but i think you could just eq some space for the sub and maybe also turn it down a bit?

very good overall

[Endless War - Niceki]

pretty cool! the melodies are really nice, for being about war and anguish.

i do feel like there isn't enough ambient noise and high mid density in the mix, i'd suggest perhaps using multiband compression or maybe turning down the low mids a bit, and adding more high mids (1-2khz) to the existing elements, to make the whole arrangement hit harder. i think maybe a more ambient section in the middle would have been nice, to balance with the parts with the drums

quite good tho!

Niceki responds:

Thank you very much for the suggestions, these comments are really what motivate me to continue making music. <3

[Je fais de mon mieux.]

maybe not breakcore per se, but still quite a cool tune nonetheless. the melodies are really sweet, and i like the ambience of the pads and the offbeat triangle wave. the vocals are the cherry on top too

the massive dc bias in the waveform looks concerning tho

[-Tenement-]

ooh spooky, i do feel like there could be a bit more reverb on everything, but the sound selection is incredibly solid.

Creeperforce24 responds:

I’ll be sure to remember that, even though I used a fuck ton of reverb already 😂

[{Rooldook} EVO]

damn your sampling and arrangements are always so cool, both in the "awesome" sense and in the "temperature" sense

i like the alarm-sounding bass harmonics in the beginning. this almost feels midtempo-esque though, not sure if it's bass house.

[Obscurity]

pretty little tune with a really cute 808 beat. the piano in the latter half is incredibly soothing and really adds to the atmosphere

Jojo responds:

Thank you so much! :D
