[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!

[Synth Temple]

This was very immersing, and sounded very beautiful! I love the arpeggiated pattern in the background, and the mood you created is really mysterious and fascinating. The textures are great too, and the cutoff impacts were a perfect touch. Amazing work, keep it up :D

[Lunar Kicks - Space Episode (Main Theme)]

This was epic I like it a lot B)

[Star tower (melodic dubstep)]

You better be getting an A++ for this because this sounds amazing! The way you placed the verses and main melodic parts was very well done, and the instruments were picked out perfectly. Sounds like a perfect mix of dubstep and beautiful melody. Also definitely very spacey. Keep up the awesome work!

[Donimingus]

Very relaxing and thought provoking, I really like it :)
The instruments are soft, and the bass is very nice. The piano solo is also a very beautiful and emotional part I like, and the way the song carries itself forward throughout is very nice as well. Feels like this could be in a sandbox game like Minecraft, Starbound or Terraria even. Awesome work, keep it coming!

[Assemble]

That drop is so sweet, the melody past that point is just next level! With synthwave I feel people often get too repetitive, but this is definitely not one of those cases because I wasn't bored for a single second! The synths are amazing once again and the bass is very hard and powerful. Fantastic work, please keep it up!!

[Saturn]

Holy crap I love this so much, it's so groovy! Very, very beautiful melody first of all, but everything else is so amazing. The mixing, the synths, the effects like the reverb and droning hollow noises, it adds so much character and richness. Everything is so crisp and easy to hear. I love the progression too, and the mood of the song is amazing. I really hope you make more stuff like this, because it's one of the craziest songs I've heard all year! :D
