[Braindance]

Good try dude

[Sweetie Linda]

Great song, with a bit of mix-mastering work could definitely sound a bit better but I understand the struggle working with a bedroom studio

ConnorDeVaux responds:

Not even a whole bedroom, just a little corner hahaha

[Spirit Ride]

Background riff with the hammer-pull slide hits the spot!!
Lyrics are good too. Rhythm guitar seems to either have a phaser? or sometimes it's a by-product of weird reverb from mic placement, in either case it kinda makes it seem a little out of place to me.

Love the gritty sound of that drumkit ! Did we get a little of-beat at 1min 50 sec ish? lol good work powering past it and recovering quick

Overall I dig the song, seems a tad bit repetitive, but the focus is on the vocal melody.

ConnorDeVaux responds:

It's just a Chorus effect but I think I had it up a little high then dampened it down, might've given it some kinda distorting sound like a phaser. Yeah, I'm trying not to pen repetitive stuff but i liked this one and I couldn't figure a fitting swing or change but that happens sometimes I suppose. Thanks a lot for the kind review :)

[Eternal Journey]

Perfect background music for stealth mission in a post apocalyptical world.
Or menu music for equipping a giant mech robot with new parts.

[How Can I Exist]

Piano melody reminds me of the Kingdom Hearts soundtrack, loved it up until 0:29 personally don't like trap / hip-hop style beats but honestly the production quality is so high I can appreciate it still as a technically good song. Dope track.

SomebodysHero responds:

thanks a ton! i never used to like trappy stuff but i want to expand with my sound. thank you a lot!

[Demo Group #2]

Nice atmosphere, very industrial electro feeling. Is this like several song ideas in one or just a mega-mix of different styles? Either way nice

[It's Too Late (Alt Recording)]

Nice jam, could use some mastering but generally the style is super dope

ConnorDeVaux responds:

I agree it needs a touch up but its an old download of a song from another computer so I can't really get into the guts of it to mess around sadly.

[some things hardly change]

This one is pretty good love a lot of the melody choices, although it has a way more artificial feel than some of your other song. Also the drums seem a bit too pronounced in the mix in the second half at the end. Bass solo is written cool but playing notes one after another with the exact same velocity makes it loose the awesome groove it has.

[no backdoor]

Truly an awesome track musically, love the vocals too and the lyrics but it seems like there's some distorted clipping on the vocal mic?

Bitbeak responds:

There definitely is a bit of that, may go in and do some lucas style edits to clean it up a bit haha

Appreciate the feedback!

[Endless Possibilities]

Interesting, enjoyed most of the song, seems to have a very strict volume normalizer which kinda makes it sound compressed, but overall good.
