[Infiltration [NGUAC Knockout Round]]

apache break my beloved

also the screechy sound at the beginning and throughout is really cool! albeit maybe a bit too loud. it reminds me of daft punk's "rollin' and scratchin'". the tempo increase at 1:14 is genius, i love that part

Latadenata responds:

That's a good catch on the amen break I used!

I'm glad you liked it, I appreciate it a lot, thank you! <3

[Gwynngala 9]

really pretty melody, i enjoy its development. although considering how saturated this is, i feel like the peak volume could be turned down a bit. also there's a really bad ring around 500hz(?) that needs to be addressed

EpsilonOmega5 responds:

Thank you!

[-Ghost Tower-]

the bassline is awesome (both in melody and the timbre), and as said before i like the unique cymbal loop

the sound effects throughout help cement the atmosphere, although maybe the speech samples could have been placed more... discreetly? maybe they stick out a little too much in the arrangement

Creeperforce24 responds:

Thanks, yeah for something like this I will admit they seem a bit out of place. I was mainly trying to focus on the Sega aspect (which I succeeded) and @taintedlogic’s advice (which I have a good feeling I failed, again), but your right, they could be a bit more discreet, except for that scream that sounds like a banshee, that was meant to be loud.

delicious bitcrushing, the ambient pads in the background sound really cool for their dissonance

Jojo responds:

Thank you very much!

[Mazda]

CompXsco responds:

[-Limitless-]

cute and contemplative

Creeperforce24 responds:

Thank you! This was made back when I didn’t know what the fuck a compressor was!

[CF24 - Mossy grotto]

will those other 31 tracks ever see the light of day?

EDIT: shame :(

Creeperforce24 responds:

Nah! I’ve already deleted that shit!

[SSK - Enneadic]

it turned out great! :)

saltysnackkid2 responds:

tysm!!! new release coming soon

[gentlereminder.mp3 (Remix)]

cool remix! personally i feel like the "clap" of the snare (i.e., the 2-4khz range) could have been boosted more. and also the body and clicky frequencies of the kick. i personally like prominent drums, and perhaps you could try it out?

the way i make my mixes loud is to just put a soft clipper in my project with a like +9db boost and then mix into that. if it inevitably sounds like garbage then i just eq it until it doesn't. i can get super loud but also falsely dynamic with this approach

LGmusic responds:

Thats an interesting approach! I tend to like group all my elements together and stuff and I treat each group (drums,bass,highs) as their own independent mixes. I don't usually do super "broad strokes" on the master and this was kind of a weird exception. I lowkey haven't tried mixing into a soft clipper but for my next song I'll do that just to try it lmao.

thanks for the fb

[pink haired cutie]

i wish i could be that
