[Stirring With In]

Very good! I like the synthwave atmosphere of this song. Also, the chord progression during the breakdown is very euphoric for me, and I like the filtered drum sounds. However, the transition to the piano part at the end is very rough, and the arrangement of the elements of the entire song feels rather rudimentary. This is also very short, and I wish that it was longer. Overall, this is not bad!

[Collapse]

Wow! This song is absolutely flawless and incredibly terrifying! The ambience at the beginning initiates the petrifying atmosphere of the song, and the way you introduce the distorted guitar sounds and the pounding drums is incredibly beautiful. The soundscapes presented by this song are very dystopian, and your intended theme of collapse fits your music's timbre very well. You must have taken an abnormal amount of effort to produce this, and that effort has heavily brought benefit to the final result!

Thank you, Axeph for your thoughtful review. :)

I also made this track in Ubuntu, though with FL Studio under Wine. The drums were programmed under Renoise and then exported to FL for final production. While I prefer FL with piano roll over tracker, I think tracking is much faster method to work with beats and stuff.

My works are often aimed for high quality production. While I'm an opposite of a perfectionist, if not downright reckless IRL, however I'd spent more time perfecting my musical works more than anything I've done. Getting things sound good has been priority in all my production, regardless of what sound it given.

Thank you again for your thoughts and kind words. Have a great weekend, and happy Halloween :)

[I don't want to see her in my dreams again]

Wow! This is very melodic, which I love! The instruments sound very good, and I especially like that bass instrument that appears at 01:39. The drums sound very good as well!

[S?: Bubble Blinders [For SunVox Competition]]

I really like this! The ambience is very strong here, and the low-fidelity feel that you've established really works in favour of this song. The noise elements also sound very digital and unique, which I like. The way that the melody constantly shifts and the way that the instruments constantly change adds a very unbalanced feeling to this song, which is actually a very good thing. The climax also sounds very good, and I'm surprised that you were able to create something like it while rushing. Overall, this is an amazing piece, and I would love to hear more of your content in the future!

[Flashback to the Early 2000s EDM]

Very good! You did a great job at recreating the aesthetic of electronic music from the early 2000's. I especially enjoy how dark this is. The synthesizers sound amazing, and the drums have plenty of activity in the bass frequencies. The progression is very good, and there is plenty of variation throughout the track. This is one of the best songs created with LMMS that I have heard so far, and I hope that you make more like this! ^w^

[Vista Sounds - Luck-Based]

Very good! I really like how frenetic and driving this track is! I like how you added reverb and side-chain compression on that piano track. The drums also sound very good as well!

Vista-Sound13 responds:

Sorry for the late reply.

Thank you, Axeph-Nell! I'm glad you liked it!

[deadmau5 - There Might Be Coffee (Sensor Remix) (Saidez Re-Remix) (8/29/19)]

This is very good! I enjoy how atmospheric this is, and the drums sound great! Even though I suppose that you did not change this track drastically from Sensor's original version, I will still give you your deserved praise for what you did do.

[noicey]

This sounds very good! It reminds me of some of Autechre's early techno work from Incunabula.

[Gentle Breeze (Piano Solo)]

I came here from your music thread. I have to say, this piece is absolutely beautiful. The composition really helps establish the nature atmosphere that you intended to create. The progression is also very good, and it makes me feel like a full day in the wilderness has passed while listening to the song. I wish I knew how to play the keyboard, because I would love to learn how to play this. I can;t wait to see more from you!

[Dolor de cabeza]

This is surprisingly intense. Of course, I still like it very much! I like how you corrupted those vocal samples to oblivion. Of course, as with most of your songs, This is just too short for me to be satisfied. Do what you would like, but I wish that you would make your songs longer.
