[my track]

the dissonance in this track is interesting, but it's incredibly repetitive (even for a loop).

are you dick cheneys daughter

[Bottom Kek- Arid Storms]

this is not bad! personally, i think that the drops are rather empty (you could add a pad or some sfx in there to fill it up), and the melodies are rather repetitive (some different notes or chord inversions would help). also, the flute lead and the beeping sounds are too loud, so you'll want to tone those down. but, i do like the drum patterns, and the melodies do create a nice frentic feeling! with some fixing, this could be great!

[Bottom Kek- Galaxy Blazer]

i will agree that this could use some mixing, but compositionally its quite nice! the only things that may be missing are some filter sweeps on the beginning pad and possibly a new brief melodic element in the breakdown. for mixing, you should try making the bass, drums, and pad louder, because the arp is too loud and seems to hog the listener's attention. also, the bass could be boosted a little (or you can add some sub) during the drops. other than this, i like what you have here!

[Bottom Kek- DeFuse]

beautiful interpetation of the original song! i don't know what to say...

[Look What You Made Me Do]

Spooky! This reminds me of "Hankie" by Aphex Twin. This is quieter, but it's also just as numbing. I like how this sounds like something dragging across bumpy metal, and the stereo movement adds to the immersion!

[The Universe Vol. 1 - Sirius A]

I love how incredibly atmospheric this is! I really enjoy the choir-like synths in the background; they add a nice touch! The transition to the second drop with the gradual speeding up is very cool! This is a great song; I can't wait until this album is finished!

[Vista Sounds - School Girl]

Well, that is some rather interesting inspiration. (;o-o) Otherwise, this is a decent track. I do wish that there was some melodic progression or some other change in the song, but I like how it is now. The way that this is now, it actually would be perfect as an instrumental for some vocals.

(Sorry for the wait)

Well, thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed it, and I do hold your feedback.

[Song in 15 mins]

Not bad for only fifteen minutes! I probably couldn't make anything like this in fifteen minutes. (-.-)

[Cyberdrive]

This is great! In terms of the production, the drums could be louder, and you could also tone down the sidechain compression a little. Actually, everything could be louder and occupy more stereo space. However, the composition and sound design is very nice! I can't wait to see more from you!

[さよなら世界 (Sayonara Sekai)]

The drums could be more prominent (you could try either increasing the volume or using more sidechain compression), and the psytrance bass is noticably unbalanced in volume as well. You could also try making more use of stereo space, as everything here sounds like it's in mono. Other than these, this is great! I like the instruments and synths that you used here.

It's really just some old stuff and yes I agree with you
