[Summer]

Really pretty synthwave with a very beautiful progression. Atmosphere feels like a warm summer twilight or early night, where streets are still bustling but you get some of that night serenity. The second half interestingly feels a bit more night time-y though before going back to the previous atmosphere haha. Either way, I think you did a great job with making a unique and interesting sounding synthwave track! Only thing I'd suggest is at some points the drums feels like they clip a bit past 0 db but nothing else! Amazing stuff, keep it coming :D

[Glitch Factory 2.0]

It does sound pretty glitchy, so I think you did a great job with that atmosphere! There's a fun progression from beginning to end and I like how everything gradually builds up. One thing I'd suggest is maybe mixing, since some parts sound a bit too quiet, while some parts sound a little drowned out (best part I can think of is between 1:10 and 1:11). Otherwise I also really like the effects and risers you put in! Great work, keep it coming :D

Thanks! Mixing is probably the thing im worst with but I'm gradually improving.

Also I'm working on uploading 5 more songs so yes i will keep it coming :)

[Progress]

MIDI музыка LFG!!!!
Я обожаю MIDI треки, и у тебя получился очень прикольный трек! У него напряжения энергия, и атмосфера приключение. Трек постоянно куда то меняется и остается интересным с начало до конца. Супер работа, так держать!

спасибо за поддержку!

[little tune]

Very happy and upbeat! Even without percussion, it sounds very fun to listen to :)
Feels like this is something that could play in a videogame carnival place, or small shop or something. It just has that chirpy but energetic energy that would make it fit perfectly haha. Great work, keep it up!

[Missed You]

Very relaxing, beautiful, and reflective. It feels like something you can easily focus to and think about things with, but as it goes on it kind of develops a happier and more energetic atmosphere. I love all the instruments you end up stacking on each other, as they all work very well together to bring out the beauty in the song. Great work, keep it up :D

[Branbass]

This sounds really sweet and happy, I like it :D
Something with a good punch of energy, but also relaxing and happy. I love how despite the chord progression repeating throughout the song, it keeps varying up with other segments and keeps the song interesting. The atmosphere is also very end of the day-y, or sunsety lol. Great work, keep it up :)

tabbybazl responds:

thank you! fun fact i made this chord progression almost 2 years ago now, and i opened the project while i was surfing through old stuff and i found it and turned it into this!

[Leveled Ruins Ost 3]

This is a really fun chiptune! I like all the variation in the melody, and how it sounds intense and adventurous. I also like that you used many different waveforms to give the impression of many different instruments. Great work, keep it up!!

[A Familiar Place]

Woah that initial drop caught me by surprise, going from something so relaxing and beautiful to something more energetic was a daring yet beautiful choice! I love the beautiful melody you established in the beginning, and how the energetic percussion and the chord stabs stacked over it. The chord progression made this sound nostalgic, calming yet a little tense at the same time. It's also a really emotional progression but idk how to explain it right, but all I can say is I got goosebumps haha. Amazing work, keep it up!!

[simple guitar jam]

I almost listened to it more than twice, I started zoning out from how nice it felt to listen to this... It's very beautiful that's for sure! I love all the accents over the guitar, like the reverbed saxophone and the flute. The percussion has such nice compression on it, it kind of stands out but doesn't block anything either which is perfect. Amazing work, keep it up!

[Ascending Terra-Helios]

That was so beautiful and angelic, I love it! The atmosphere feels like it can be interpreted in different ways, like a magical adventure, or a peaceful fantasy forest village, or a magical lakeshore, etc.. I think in common the song just feels like it has a lot of magic in it :)
The orchestration is perfect, the varied dynamics are great, and you do a great job at building tension and making satisfying wind downs. Amazing work, keep it up!!!

Deemo-R responds:

Thanks! I didn't have any particular picture in mind, so I'm sure it could be interpreted in any way
