[Subzero]

Dark and dancey, nice! I love the square lead, it was a great choice along side that crunchy dark and low bass. The atmosphere is also really nightclub-y with an action element to it. It's both danceable but also would work great in some dark action game or something haha. Keep up the great work!

Dead-Again responds:

Thank you so much

[Mushy Motion]

This sounds fun! I know it's good because even though I don't know how to describe mushy, it sounds very mushy haha. I love the synths you used, and the percussion was a great pick. Sounds like something that would be really fun to listen to on a car ride or just a long road trip. Great stuff, keep it up :D

Lalalo14 responds:

Haha yeah mushy is something you just feel. Can't describe it. Thanks alot man!

[Nespro]

It's not easy to make a small melody catchy and varied throughout a track, but you did an awesome job! The track's atmosphere feels fancy but also light at the same time which I feel is a rare combo, and I feel it might be because of the contrast of the darker/deep bass compared to the brighter pluck for the melody; it's really cool! I also felt the song was pretty catchy so that's always a big plus haha. Awesome work, keep it up!

Psilenth responds:

Thanks. It is crazy that it only took me 2 hours. I made this start to finish in front of someone who went to a recording arts school and it blew her mind. I did a bunch of creative processing that they just don’t teach in school and she said it was like watching a magic trick.

[Jakki - Wonderland]

This sounded great! It was moody and dark, but it was also definitely very dancey and had great energy to it. It definitely had that "epic" atmosphere you were going for (the reverb really helped and so did the percussion) but it still felt like it had a lot of great dance elements to it. The mix was also very crisp and vibrant, it felt so nice on the ears. Love this track, keep it up!!

Jakki responds:

Thank u so much

This sounds dark and intense, I like it! I think you did a really good job with the mixing, because each instrument stands out in the right way. I can hear the drums very well and clear, while I can also hear that bell/melody sound stand out as well, and the pads blend in perfectly. Great work on this, keep it up!!

SamuraiOwl responds:

thank youuuu!! x)

[Tucked Away]

This sounds like really pretty end of day/sunset music, it makes me think of a harbor of some calm city at dawn. It also sounds a bit like Pokemon music to me for some reason haha. Instrument selection in this was really nice as all the instruments complimented each other, and the slow down around 2:45 was also really cool. Great work, keep it up!!

anzky responds:

thank you!

[Sandstorm]

Ooh, what a fun song! It sounds gentle and happy, yet at the same time the fast segments and percussion you use definitely make it befitting of the title you gave it. Some instruments also sounded desert-y, which is a great choice! The progression was fun, and this song would probably fit super well in some game level with a desert theme. Amazing work on this, keep it coming!!

AlphaLynxMusic responds:

Thank you! I couldn't have asked for more detailed feedback.

[Ethereal]

This was a very feel good song, I really enjoyed it :)
The melody is light, happy, and the synths you used match up very well with that. The progression is also light but varied enough to make it interesting and definitely even a bit dancey! I think you did a great job on this, keep it up :D

N0B4nn responds:

Thank you! The drop originally felt odd to me, because I've never used chords as the main focus in a drop before. I just kept going with it to see how it turned out and it worked decently well I'd say.

[Pooo1-Memories]

From the name, I didn't expect this kind of song, but it's really cool! I like how it already starts off kinda intense, but then gets more intense at one point with a heavier theme, and then slows down around 2:00 again. It's a cool touch and does kinda fit with the name, as it feels like you just remembered something vividly before you start thinking of something else/the memory fades away or something. Either way awesome track once again, keep it up!

pooo1 responds:

man, thanks, i appreciate it

[Zenology (NGADM - Round 2)]

Давно не слышал твои треки, и сейчас слушая это я в шоке от того как ты можешь постоянно вытворят все эти шедевры! Музыка класс, хорошо напоминает дэнс треков 2010х годов с кучу твоей собственной оригинальностью. Моя любимая часть это в 1:11, когда acid начинается. Мелодия постоянно меняется и интересная с начало до конца. Как обычно, супер треки, так держать!!

Привет, octopus58! Спасибо за комментарий! Да, давненько я тебя не видел в комментах у себя под треками. Надеюсь, что почаще будешь их писать!
