[🌸🌊🌸girl from ipanema🌸🌸🌊 [Lo-fi remix]]

It's like elevator music but funky. Those guitar samples are dope as hell. Vocals pretty cool too, love the trend of a random noise being played on the stop beats.

[Landing Light]

I feel a lot of potential here, what you got so far is pretty good I love the industrial vibe.

Nice panning bass, I can tell you've practiced with fl studio a lot. I like the little buildup background noises helps create and ease the tension.

Sometimes the drums don't hit quite right to me, around the 20 second mark and the 50 second mark. Also the drum samples are kinda meh, they sound like the stock samples. You can get some free drum packs online, and then make sure to always run them through the mixer. @ 59 the little lead synth doesn't key up, but later in the song it sounds better somehow. the sound it'self is good but maybe play with note selection a bit more, or even use the fine tuning for the pitch on the vst used to make it.

Anyways, pretty good overall man keep it up and rock on.

Eliter responds:

Yeah, i somehow also noticed that, but ofc after I exported that into MP3. But thanks a lot, i like constructive critics :))

[Rest for a moment, Paladin.]

ahhh yes the realm reborn.. Such a good game, unfortunate that everyone hated me for playing dragoon but what can you do.

As far as the songs it's dope, you got a pretty good orchestral library it seems and thank you for not just doing quarter notes with all the same velocity.

I'd say personally I disagree with some particular note choices, but I'm not here to knock on your progression or style. It's a good song and that's that.

I absolutely love the latter part with what sounds like choir pads in the background? Almost sounds like something from Kingdom Hearts. Great work dude

[ColCreo - RockStep]

Ah yes RockStep my favorite genre

This song is pretty good overall, needs a bit of work but I just want to start out with I'm proud of you because there's a LOT of good in this.

Intro: Lots of good sounds here, I can definitely feel the rise of tension from the beginning all the way to the 0:40 mark when it minor drops. That hit that happens at 0:20 is a bit messy and things start to max out their volume levels around there, I can't listen to the frequency levels too well because I don't have my headphones with me, but it's still audible.

The Drop: at 0:40 when that lead guitar comes in I really like where it's placed inside the mix and it really sounds how a lead improvised would sound. It's track is really groovy but starts to kinda loose luster after 1:45 when things seem to be all the same, the beat doesn't change much and that (yarg) bass line kinda becomes white noise droning on.

Bass Solo: Very funky

Second drop: Kinda a copy paste of the first one.

Overall great job, I will definitely wanna hear some new stuff you come up with!!
Keep at it man and rock on.

OKAY JAHN33

[Maybe i know a place.]

This is one you SHOULD be proud of. It sounds like you put a lot of thought into the progression and took the time to find sounds that work well together in the master mixer.

The drums are great, I don't hear too much variation except near the end but you have plenty of fills and percussion hits.

This feels a bit more like background music to a game or a sad anime montage than a song that would be listened to on its own.

Nice track man keep it up.

9VoltBaby responds:

Wow, i can't find words to describe how much i appreciate your comment!! Thank you so much for the feedback!! Im glad the "background music" vibe got through cause it's exactly what i wanted!
Thanks again for listening to my stuff!

[Sweet tooth ^w^ | edm/instrumental | ft. G6400]

Nice track man, great vibe it's a good length and has pretty good effects overall.

It's a little repetitive for my taste, but good work on throwing in those little one shot FX to help fill the beat in a bit. Biggest complaint would be the mastering on the "Drop" is bit like mustard. Thick and Yellow. From 1:34 - 2:21 that lead synth is making it's way to the front of the line like a lunch yard bully. It makes the drums and background pads muddy and gross. Try to balance out the sound a bit and don't just make it loud, make it stand out like it's in the spotlight with everyone else being supportive.
