[Raindrop Skies]

The ambience of the rain and thunder in this track was really perfect, it gave a very calm feeling to the track. The synth you used for the melody felt very neatly muted for a rainy track, with a good cutoff filter. The drum loops also made it very relaxing in addition to everything else. My only suggestion would be to vary up the melody a bit since it felt a little repetetive, but otherwise this is really nice! Love this work, keep it up :)

[Don't care]

Sounds like a really fitting song to play for some kind of club cutscene or something like that, or a car mission in a game, I like it! Your alternating instrument really put flavor into the track, and the guitar added some nice funk to it. The percussion you used was also pretty neat, so that definitely helped make it even better. Keep up the great work, this music sounds really nice :)

[Jackalope]

Nice job on this, it's very bouncy and definitely reminds me of house! It's also pretty catchy, which gives a little bit of that calliope feeling. The progression you have is very interesting and definitely very well done. However my only criticism is sometimes certain parts of the song sound a bit too loud or bass boosted, and it gets a bit too repetitive. But otherwise great work, I hope to see more from you!

[N.L- Echoes]

Sounds very jungle like, and I love the pads and synths you used here! This song sounds very warm and extremely groovy. The percussion really adds to the immersion and the space of this track as well. I love it so much! Keep up the amazing work :)

NightLover responds:

Thank you so much, that means a lot TwT

[modus - Sector Five VIP]

I love this a whole lot! The drops are very hard, glitchy in a cool way. The synths you use are very good, and the percussion is amazing. The mixing is great, loud and clear but not oversaturated. This is extremely dynamic and progressive, and full of life. Please keep making more amazing stuff!

Thank you! More to come in due time

[Village Of Underwater Creatures]

I love the percussive intro, you have no idea where it's gonna go until you hear the little plucks kick in! Definitely have the underwater feeling, especially with the bass you used here. The melody also progresses very beautifully. My only issue with this is that the part that begins at around 1:18 is very resonant, maybe a bit too bass boosted. But otherwise this is amazing, keep up your great work!

DarkGod666 responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Yeah the harp at 1:18 feedsback a bit with the spacey impulse response of a piano note, I was considering changing impulse responses, but now I probably will.

[doobstep]

Gotta love mixing chiptune with modern instruments! I love this clash you got going on here, it fits together very nicely. The melody is very catchy, the bass is bouncy, and the pads that start around 0:40 are really amazing for a bridge. When the arps kick in after that bridge section it sounds very cool and robotic, amazing job! Can't wait to see more from you :)

Typewriter7051 responds:

thanks! anything I can improve on this?

[Wandering]

This flows very nicely :)
The percussion is very exciting and fast, and the bass is super supportive of that. The gentle piano really helps build up atmosphere and space, and the occasional vocals too. The bridge is a really good pause in the song that helps variation. Overall this is very nice, keep making more music!
