[seven o'clock groove]

Sounds pretty funky, sounds like something that would fit perfectly in a retro style video game dialogue scene. I love the main instruments a lot, and the bass is definitely very groovy! My only suggestions is that towards the end it feels a little loud with the harmonica instrument, and maybe the pads dwell for a little long, but otherwise it's a great piece! Keep it up :)

thanks for reviewing! i'm glad you enjoyed :)

[Vista Sounds - Take]

I don't usually hear people try to mimic the GBA style, so this sure is interesting. I love the jazzy little feeling you got, with that very classic bass style sound. The whole thing sounds like it came out of an ancient speaker, it's really cool! I love the leads you used as well, they really fit for the whole mood. Great work, keep it up :)

Those are some kind words you have there, buddy, and I am glad you enjoyed this track, so thank you! :)

[DJ Spyroof - On A Journey]

I can definitely feel the inspirations in this song, this sounds so nostalgic! A lot of classic Basshunter bass styled sound in there, as well as the DJ Splash style progression. This just feels like an overall great mix of classic dance. I really like you bringing back this kind of style with a bit of your original twist in it, keep it going :D

[[EDM / FUTURE HOUSE] Snow Day]

This was very interesting, and I can definitely tell where you were trying to go with this :)

The piano progression was really good and the background plucks really added to the harmony. The drums were also very well placed for this kind of song. My only suggestions would be to add some bass, as it sounds a little empty without. I'd also say that a lot of the noises seem to clip especially the main lead and piano. Maybe also add a longer ending as well?

Great job regardless, and I hope you keep making more!

Thanks for your feedback! I agree some bass would be nice, but I had some trouble making some. I’ll try to in my next song!

[Night]

This sounds so nice, I wish it was longer! The intro led into the bass/percussion part perfectly, and when that middle part came in the song flow was perfect. The night feeling was definitely present as it was also very calm and relaxing. Keep it up with the awesome stuff :)

NightLover responds:

tysm for that TwT

[AuSk - Praia]

Sounds very loungey and relaxing, I love it! The flute you added has a very soft sound which is perfect for this kind of piece as well. The bass/percussion parts in the middle really drove the feeling all the way. Keep up the great work!

[Kingdoms]

I see what you mean by tells a story, the song changes mood and tone multiple times throughout all seven minutes! I really like the range of instruments you chose to really give it that orchestral hall accuracy, and the flow maintains pretty well throughout all the parts. Great job on the story telling and the composition, keep it up!

Thank you so much for the lovely and detailed review. I appreciate that very much.

[BJ - Bleeding Nature]

Very relaxing and surprisingly a little industrial. I love the guitar sound you used, and I love how it comes even more alive around 0:42 along with a few other instruments. The instrument that comes along in 1:23 is perfect towards a finishing point as well, it really helps the song progress. I really think you should keep making more!

GhostlyDoobies responds:

thank you for your kind words!

[Morning Adventure! - VGM]

Sounds very morning-y and cheery, I think you got something good going on over here! I see you mentioned Stardew Valley, and it really seems like something that would fit perfectly into that kind of game. You should keep making music as this sounds awesome :)
