[ACIDTEK]

i fucking love the implicit melancholy of this song

[zipperc*nt]

wake up, new phantomnoiz

[Halcyon]

bluey is fucking based

as for the music itself it's very nice :) you really succeeded at capturing that feeling

[Vorlexium x Syxpher - Oasis]

congrats on the frontpage!

the sounds are quite nice, the mixing is decent, my only criticism is that there needs to be some sidechaining to glue everything together

Vorlexium responds:

Thanks for listening! After posting the song we did realize we probably could’ve added some extra finishing touches, however we were busy with our own personal lives and weren’t sure if we were going to be able to finish the song, but yes, i do indeed agree with you. Thanks for the feedback!

[Keep On Marching]

i like it! the melodies are characteristically cinematic, and i think that sounds pretty cool! i also enjoy the recurring theme

my only criticism is that the instrumentation is a little too "synthetic"? i.e., it's too obvious that you're using sample libraries. i'd suggest learning about dynamics and humanization

but that's all!

SomeGuyMusic responds:

Thank you! I think I actually forgot to humanize the other half of the song (rip.) Also I'm working on FL Mobile so my options are very limited 😅. Thank you for the feedback!

[Wandering]

i think it turned out wonderfully! it's very pretty :)

[XyZssss - Ivalo]

alright, lemme try to collect my thoughts here

first of all, this seems very haphazardly put together. i can hear multiple moments where the basses and the drums don't line up rhythmically. there is also a very apparent and annoying pause between the tom fill leading into the first drop and the actual drop itself. this is structurally all over the place as well, i'd suggest learning the typical intro-buildup-drop-breakdown-buildup-drop-outro structure of edm and writing music with that

about the basses, i don't like how they really only repeat one pattern. i can also hear them detune at about 1:58. are the basses synths you made yourself, or is it one long sample?

lastly, the piano melody is rather strange. it almost sounds atonal in a way; i don't know if this is what you were going for but if not then i would want to learn some tonal harmony as well, it'll help you figure out what notes you should use

nonetheless i'll give you three and a half stars for effort, but i know you have a lot to learn

DJXyZssss responds:

Thanks for the review dude, I'm still learning to produce dubstep, I hope to improve my production techniques soon

[Fascist [Neurofunk]]

i remember downloading this song back when you first uploaded it and listening to it continuously since then

i fucking love this! quite minimal but i think it helps with the atmosphere :)

[Grandiose Fault of Steel]

this is fucking awesome, like a more futuristic but simultaneously more tribal alternate-universe prodigy

i'm loving the depth and complexity of the patterns

[Happy Birthday To You]

happy birthday!! and cool song, it's very sweet :)
