[Prey Slaughtered]

really cool bass! i like the high slide notes, although maybe it's a bit too saturated and prominent in the mix. the pristine synth strings that come in at around 1:40 contrast well with the other distorted sounds. the hip-hop esque drum patterns in the first half also sound fantastic in this context; the switch to more dubstep-esque drums is quite cathartic. overall amazing!

I am immensely grateful for your affection and feedback 💋 why does this sound sarcastic??? IT ISN'T

[telekinesis]

i love the frenetic mood, and the sound design is really cool too! however, the mix is definitely too saturated, probably due to too much sub bass. i'd try cutting out sub in non-sub instruments and failing that just turn down the sub a bit

SamuraiOwl responds:

that's just about how i feel about it too lol
thanks for listening :)

[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

[random thing WIP]

nice so far! maybe more than two chords in the progression would be nice tho, it gets a bit stale after a bit

yessir

[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
