[Dormant Phases]

I think this is very nice and uplifting actually! It definitely fits an "after storm" feeling, maybe as the skies start to open up but are still gray. The instruments you used work so well together and sound very beautiful, and the melody never stagnates while constantly increasing that feeling of being uplifted. Awesome work, keep it up!

Hypervolt responds:

Thank you so much! Definitely the vibe I was going for :)

[Dig Dug]

Wow I love the fast paced melody that kicks in around 10 seconds, it's very retro! It's very happy and playful and it would work very well in some arcade game from back then. I think it's cool how you did something so nice with so little. Great work, keep it up :D

Viraxor responds:

Thank you! I will try to keep it up :)

[Frostbite]

This definitely sounds danceable, I think you did a great job :)
I like how it doesn't get too intense and keeps the calm/spaced out feeling from the beginning. It does definitely have some energy to it. The bass you used was perfect for the style as well. Awesome work, keep it up!

EVLanche responds:

Thank you, glad you enjoyed the track! I will try my best ^ ^

[Tapi - Saturn]

Very groovy, sounds spacey too. I like it! The plucks were really nice, and I liked the choppy lead/synth you used for the main melody. Would fit very well for gym music or some kind of racing game. Great work, keep it coming!

shamky responds:

hey! thank u very much for you words :))

[dragon poop]

Never knew a song called dragon poop would be so groovy lol but I kinda really like it! Wish it was long but honestly I've been listening to this on loop for like 3 times now while working and it still feels cool to me. I love the plucky melody that kicks in towards a third of the song and how it goes up and down. Small but really cool, so great work and keep it up!

Father-of-Death responds:

Thank you! I'm going to work on this again tonight. Was just being super picky about the sounds I was using so didnt add much to it yet.

[A Second Chance]

This sounded very impactful and dramatic, perfect for a cinematic song! The buildup was long and proper, with the instruments all increasing further in dynamics. The percussion was used greately to emphasizer the climax, and the strings were utilized to their fullest potential. And at the end, you did a good job at relieving all the tension that was built up. Awesome work, keep it up!

GDRyuHayabusa1988 responds:

Thank you!

[Chill Somg [Remaster]]

Very relaxing, beautiful and calm. I think it was definitely very chill too. I really like the guitar you used, and the calm melody it played while the soft drums and strings helped carry it forward. The whole song just made me feel warm and cozy. Great work, keep it coming!

Yassifacation responds:

Thanks!

[headbopper.mp3]

Wow this is so groovy, happy and even nostalgic a little, I love it! Everything about this sounds beautiful and makes me feel very warm and cheery. I think the Rhodes piano was a great touch, but all the other instruments that surround it just bring it out so well, and the mixing is just perfect. I love it very very much, keep up the awesome work!!

snakez responds:

Thank you so much! I’m glad you liked it!

[where is everyone]

This sounded very unsettling and eerie, which I guess was the point and I think you did very well! I like that you literally used the sound of something breaking as a percussive noise throughout the song, it was strange but fitting. The pads are actually very beautiful, and help you catch a break around 2:00 before more kicks in. I also think you did the ending very well because it kinda emphasizes the eeriness even as it's fading out! So amazing work, keep it up :D

Waidmann responds:

thank you

[21.]

Happy late birthday! lol
This was an interesting song idea, and I think you did it well. Mixing could use a tiny bit of work but otherwise it was very fun to listen to! The instruments you picked also work very well together and carry the song in a good way. So great work, keep it coming!

MakuTMT13 responds:

THANK YOU MUCH! I appreciate every piece of feedback I get, and I hope the next track you hear will have better mixing cuz i most certainly still don't know too much about that just yet. Regardless, thank you again!
