[Welcome to my Shop!]

This sounds so good and funky, I love it! The atmosphere is very dancey and happy, and kind of feels very fitting for a shop as I feel it would make you excited to buy stuff. Loop points are perfect here as I've listened to the song on loop maybe 5 times by now and it feels seamless. I like the flutes you used as they add a happy little dancey feeling, while the drums not only add on to that but also add a great kick of energy. Just overall amazing work, keep it up!

You definitely did a good job at making this song sound intense; it feels like a riser/lifter that doesn't stop and just gets greater and greater! I like all the fun arps you put in, and the funky lead that is part of the melody. As for the bass, it is perfect and crunchy, acid like maybe, which helps increase anticipation. The ending is even great too for the atmosphere you went for! So great work, keep it up :)

This sounds like a great fusion of a bunch of stuff! I think aiming to fit a standard by default isn't the way to go anyways haha, because this ended up sounding fresh and funky the way you made it :)

The progression is really fun, it feels like it varies up and is unexpected in a good way. Each instrument has its time to shine and add character to the overall piece, and the melody is fun and playful. Great work altogether, keep it coming!!

AndrewCr responds:

Thanks, glad you like the song :)

[Arpbyte]

This was really cool! It was kind of like a dramatic orchestral chip song :D
I love it when people make realistic x chiptune crossovers for music, it usually ends up sounding nice but this especially sounded great. The strings were great at emphasizing the drama, and the different chiptune instruments gave a great energetic and exciting kick. Great stuff as always, keep it up!!

Thank you so much!!!!

[Randomness]

Awesome song :D
This gave me 90s/early 2000s feel, especially when the detuned saw lead kicked in. I also love it when that 90s nylon guitar kicks in, it's such a familiar sound haha. The song does generally sound pretty random too, so the name is pretty fitting. Great stuff, keep it up!

This feels like a perfect song to play at a beachside bar during noon, it has a great day-time atmosphere with very relaxing and zone-out type feelings. I love the articulation of the guitars in this and the percussion really helps amplify the energy. Great work, keep it up!

[The Call of The Void]

This really represents the whole void theme, I think you nailed it! The progression building up and leading into a "softer" type drop with a new part to the melody is perfect for what you were trying to depict, and the longer style of pacing definitely also helps. It's also very rewarding when more stuff finally kicks in around the 2:22 mark (especially that sax, man its cool!). The ending is also perfect after all the song has done. Awesome work, keep it coming!!

RedCocoa responds:

Thank you very much, glad the void theme thing seems to work as well as I hoped it would. More is coming :D

[race to the light]

Hyper trance is such a fun genre, but your song really stands out as extra fun and exciting! Everything is just so fast, it feels like flowers blooming all over space or something lol. The variation of the main melody lead is so nice, and the drums really help create a happy-intense energy too. Just awesome stuff in general, keep up the great work!

Какая красота :D
Это как то даже больше ностальгично чем прежний трек. При этом, ты как то сумел выразит жару и веселые лето в атмосфере твоего трека. Супер трек, жду следующего шедевра!!

[Moon]

Мне кажется что вышло очень хорошо :)
Мелодия почему то звучит очень ностальгично, и к прибавку она очень красивая. Так держать!
