[lakeside sunset]

As soon as the saxes kicked in, it felt so good! The whole song has a very relaxed atmosphere, and for some reason gave me a 90s ish feeling too because of the way certain instruments sounded (especially the sax, I am probably wrong but it sounded a lot like the KORG saxes from the M1). The flow of the song is great, it keeps moving to different pretty parts, and feels like the sunset is slowly passing with time. Percussion was perfect for the energy the song was going for too, it's there but it's not too much which is just right. Amazing work once again, keep it coming!!

tysm!! yea i was going for an 80s/90s synthwave feel with this one, although the sax is just from one of the stock plugins in fl studio

[electroCUTEd!]

This sounds so fun, I love it! There is a great happy energy, it's very dancey, and the progression takes a lot of fun turns too. Like the part in the middle being a sudden tempo shift didn't phase me at all, it just sounded cool and added a lot of character to the song before speeding up again and going back to being fun and chaotic. Just all together the song has a great feels good energy. Awesome work, keep it up!!

GlitchCatMusic responds:

thank you so much!! I'm really glad you liked it !! :D

[Years]

This is a fun house song! I love the pumping bass, and the drops are pretty impactful. The drops are great too! Nice stuff, keep it up :D

[Speed-BMP]

This was really crazy and chaotic, and definitely a fun listen! I like the weird atmosphere you went for, it definitely provided a unique character. The house samples clashing with jazz was so cool too... and the progression kept going somewhere new, making sure to keep the song interesting from start to finish! Great job, keep it up :)

YubaOfficial responds:

Thanks man, I appreciate the feedback on it, it's my best one atm, or at least I think it is

[wanna be innocent]

This song has an interesting atmosphere throughout, kind of just chill and relaxing, and hazy but happy. The instruments you used were pretty interesting too, they all fit in the 80s/90s soundscape. Great work as always, keep it up :)

[Neodymium]

I thought this will be a funny magnet song lol but instead it's a great EDM track! Really reminds me of mid 2010s EDM stuff, really cool how close to the style you got. The instruments are great and vibrant, the melody is happy, and the song stays interesting by varying throughout. The main leads you use sometimes for the more intense sections are also pretty powerful! Great work, keep it up :)

FluxK responds:

thank you for your reply!

[Unimportance - Not Alone]

Interesting track! It sounded like falling in slow motion through space or something, just a very introspective and zone out atmosphere. The instruments were pretty and worked nicely together, and the beat you paired with the track fit perfectly. Great work, keep it up!

Unimportance responds:

thx

[dance of the dragonflies]

This really reminds me of late 2000s/early 2010s dance music, stuff like DJ Splash, Dimrain47, etc. so it made me feel really nostalgic! The melody is really beautiful too :)
Only thing I'd suggest is adjusting the mixing (some instruments sound too loud, some too quiet), and maybe more percussion variation. But otherwise I love it, great work and keep it up!

thnx

[demo22]

You should definitely turn this into a full song, it sounds great so far!

[City]

Sounds very pretty, definitely fits a night time city atmosphere! It's calm, but sounds active/energetic enough to be fitting of a modern city feel. Especially like the bell electric piano like instrument you used in this. I also feel like the art by itsmega fits the song really well too! Great job guys, keep it up :D
