[[Hard Dance] Heaven]

This reminds me of happy times, because this is the style of dance music I'd listen to in the late 2000s and early 2010s. I love it a bunch! Though it's not just because of the nostalgia; the melody is very fun, the instruments you chose work very well together, and the progression/transitions sound really fun! You implemented a creative way to turn a shorter melody into a much longer song, which takes a lot of talent to do. Great work, keep it up!!

Forellow responds:

Omg! Thanks so much for your comment, this music took a lot of work and the fact that it reminds you of music from the 2010s makes me super happy because that was precisely my goal with this one. 😍

[r5ne - Anamnese]

Dark and very interesting! I like how this song kinda keeps carrying itself forward by constantly varying up, it feels like it never stays in the same place for too long. Every bit of progression is something new, yet cohesive with the rest of the song. The genre also sounds like a mix of old school techno, trap, and even trance, which is a very unique combo. The chord progression stayed mostly the same, yet the melody sounded very fun and beautiful :)

Keep up the amazing work!

r5ne responds:

thank you for your analysis on my song!
it always bugged me that so many dubstep songs i liked just simply looped the first drop to double the length of the song so ive always tried to avoid this as much as possible.
and yeah i never learned music theory which is definately why most of the songs ive made have stayed in one key throughout the whole song i shud get to learning that lol
ill have to look up some old school techno i love researching specific subgenres

[Neon Dreams]

Супер трек!! Сильно напоминает треки 80 х годов, в полном оригинальным стиле. Тот факт что ты сделал это с дефолтными инструментами вообще круто. Обожаю этот трек, так держать!!!

JustDen responds:

Благодарю!!)

[Duophone]

So atmospheric and spaced out... I love it! The guitar has some kind of effect on it that I really like, and the pads you chose just create this awesome space element to the song too. The mood is something I can both doze off to or get motivated to, which is a great combo I think. The ending was also beautiful! Wonderful work, keep it up!!!

LoneEagle responds:

Thank you so much, your feedback is appreciated more than you can think.

[Biffed It]

Very floaty, gives the feeling of just slowly moving around through the cloudy sky :)
The instruments were really nice, especially the effects you used on them. It's kind of a cool mix between chiptuney and modern sounding stuff which is always nice. Just in general really pretty song, keep it up!

[Higher Order]

This song has a really fun buildup! It feels natural and makes the first drop feel very rewarding. The track also sounds kinda jungle-y in a fun way :)

I love the breaks you used, and the middle part was a very good transition to the next drop. Just in general the song sounds pretty relaxing but also full of energy at the same time, which is cool! Great work, keep it up :D

[interpolation]

Sounds really fun :)

[NEWNEWNEW]

This has an interesting atmosphere, partially because of the unusual chords that make it sound kinda mysterious, eerie, but also deep. Kind of like an intense scene in some game where you're exploring some haunted factory or something. Mixing is very well done, and I like the drums you chose. Good work, keep it up!

Silnava responds:

thank you :)

[centipede]

This sounds so sick, a mix between hyper trance sounding stuff and maybe even boss battle because of how intense it is haha. Your use of Synth1 is awesome, the song sounds really powerful and old school at the same time. Keep up the sick work as always :D

wineplume responds:

thank!!!
synth1 is a fun synth, and very easy to learn.

[Future Retro]

Красивы, расслабляющий, и одновременно ретро и современный трек. Комбинация вообще супер! И когда ты сдвинул мелодию на один полутон это было очень круто. Как обычно очередной шедевр, так держать!

G2961 responds:

Спасибо! Да, я подумал, что тут должен быть сдвиг тона, потому что это очень крутой эффект, если делать его правильно.
