[Discreet Shadows]

Catchy :P
Do you make your own synths?

SpeTheof responds:

Thanks, and i use presets but i modify like most of them !

[Saw vs Square]

Another great one, keep it up ;)

SpeTheof responds:

Thank you!

[JK - Pain]

Very interesting, and very suitable for the ambient genre!

This song gives off a little bit of a sad mood, and for some reason makes me think of being lost in the forest during night time when its winter. I love how you introduced different instruments at different areas of the song, and made it compatible with the rest of the song as well. But yeah, this is a very moody song, and I like it :)

Kysertron responds:

I made this song to describe how pain can really feel. Thanks for the review!

[Zack Hemsey - The Way RMX]

Very interesting :)

This song sounds very alienish, in a good way. I really liked the progression, and it felt very interesting and cool! I would suggest adding bigger wubs/drops for the trapiest parts of the song, not to the point where it gets distorted, but to the point where it maybe adds power? Dunno, it's just my preference :P

Demonicity responds:

thanks for the feedback! :P

[Years Go By]

Wow

I'm honestly not in to funk, but this is still pretty cool. It really sounds like something from a wario ware game, haha

Bass, melody, and harmony are perfectly balanced in your song. It has very nice/interesting progression and good choice in instruments. They all sound funky, just like a funk song should sound like :P

Good job, anyways :)

ZNH789 responds:

I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for listening! :)

[Chipzel - Focus (Gentalmen's Remix)]

Well well well, look who i found :P

Really nice remix fam, it has very good melody and harmony; the only thing I would suggest adding is a bit more bass. It doesn't have to be retro bass, just any kind of bass to make the song sound more powerful in general. Otherwise this is great

I gotchu tho

M-Gentalmen responds:

eyyy you found me ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Thanks fam, I should have put in more bass. But, I lost the project file already so I can't fix it. Oh well...

[JoarZ - Clouds (Original Mix)]

Oh man this is so relaxing but so up beat at the same time!

The reverb on the snaps in some parts sounds so nice, and the piano intermissions are also pretty cool :D

Only thing is around 2:20 the drum beat seems a bit off, but everything else is perfect :)

JoarZ responds:

Ah I see thanks man anyways :D

[JoarZ - Life (Original Mix)]

Holy crap, this song is legitimately flawless

I can't find a single thing wrong with it. Not repetitive, has good mixing, has nice melody... this song has everything...

Please make more!

JoarZ responds:

Thanks for the positive feedback <3

[Wild Card]

Sounds like a mix between dance and country! Very interesting :)

If you want to make it sound more like wild west though, it would have to be a bit less intense instruments such as electric guitars and trumpets, and have more woodwinds. Thats just my opinion though. Great job on the song!

AlexMaden responds:

Yea I totally agree with you. It got a bit out of hand, and I used too many instruments and kind of lost that Wild West spark it had in the beginning.
Thanks for the feedback though, Always Appreciated!

[Crystal Hallways]

Sounds cool! Though, I have some suggestions

I think the song could have used more "Dance leads". Just some louder instruments with some interesting melodies to make this song even better. But otherwise, I think you did a great job, keep it up :)

demon1000 responds:

Ok i will see what i can do... Thanks!
