[Delta Time]

This sounds so sick, it feels so much like a keygen song! I know you tagged it as bad mixing but I dunno I actually really like it :)
I just love the melody, and all the arpeggio chords and stuff. It's all very beautiful. I hope you make more music like this!

[Skyships (Orchestra Arr.)]

This was beautiful, dramatic and overall so feeling provoking! I loved it. The mastering is very realistic to what you would hear in an orchestral setting and sounds like it could easily fit in a game or movie score. Reminds me of some smash ultimate songs for some reason but I mean that in all the good ways haha. And the ending was very well done too, a very nice wrap to a subtle introduction :)

Great work, keep it coming!

HollandAlbright responds:

Thank you so much! Smash has some great music! :)

[Astro Station]

Very beautiful, definitely spacey too! I love the intro, and how instruments slowly add on to each other. They all work very well together, and when the drop comes it's very exciting! I love the actiony feel you made, and the atmosphere of the track in general. Just overall it's a very nice song! Keep up the great work :)

Maxidae responds:

Your feedback is very appreciated, thank you :)

[Sleep Well]

Very beautiful, mysterious and relaxing. The song builds up tension sometimes that feels like it relieves very smoothly later on, and it really creates this calming feeling that feels like you're about to drift off. The textures are beautiful and very fitting, and the subtle introduction of instruments was executed perfectly. Beautiful work, keep it up :)

[NDXL - The Depths]

It was very worth waiting till 2 minutes for that awesome drop! This sounds crazy and full of energy, with so much action and such an amazing buildup. I could imagine this in an awesome gun slinging movie or game because it just sounds so perfect. It also keeps varying up so it's never boring or on the same thing. Amazing work, keep making great tracks and melodies :D

[Night Flight]

This sounds so cool! It definitely feels like something involving a cool action scene on a plane or something at night, can fit perfectly in some kind of film/video or even game :D

The textures are amazing and beautiful, the retro feel is definitely there and it is amazing, and the song also never stagnates! It always changes into something cool as it goes on through all the three minutes. And the choice of instruments was also perfect. Great work, keep it up !!

[Woid]

Oh wow the mixing and mastering on this track is crazy good!! I feel like I can feel the vibration in my headphones going all the way through me and it's just super intense. And I love how at around 1:30 a bunch of synthy pads kick in, the room of the song just suddenly expands and becomes so vivid. There's just so many good things to say about this honestly!!! So great work, keep up the awesome songs!

[Fuel The Emotions (Turn Up The Party)]

I hope you won, this sounds amazing! Very happy and energetic, with very punchy sounds. And I love the acid effect you put throughout too, it really adds to the space of the song. Great work, keep it up!

ZoidNG responds:

i've won in that contest, and i've also loved and had fun making this track back in july and yeah the acid sounds were a nice addition to it, if you want you can make a remix out of it, send me an message so i can give you the melody's MIDI

[Frantix Zone Act 1]

This is awesome! It sounds like it would have fit very well in the SA/Heroes games because it's like a mix of their older and more modern styles. But there's a lot of your own originality in this which is awesome! If I could suggest something, it's to amp up the bass, and make certain melodical instruments a bit more quiet as they protrude a bit more (like the violin during some parts). Otherwise it's really good. Keep up the great work :)

Jxudo responds:

Thank you! Yeah I'm still trying to figure out mastering well... Very difficult with the audio setup I have haha. Glad you liked it!

[Creatures]

I don't think I'd ever imagine a song made using Shadow the Hedgehog voice lines but this is amazing lmao

HG-HL responds:

Lmao thanks dude!
