ooh, i like the dx7 epiano in this song! using it in this context sounds really cool. the appoggiaturas in the melodies are really pretty too

very chill! i like the lead and the music box melody. structurally, i think this song could have had a section where the drums stopped playing and the melodic elements really shine. but, the song's composition is still great!

it'll be cool to see where this project goes

[yes -> much thicc]

actually cool flow, i like the chiptune-ish bass

DistortedVortex responds:

thanks

[Mirage Storm]

i really like it! this definitely has that 2000s ng audio portal feeling. the melodies and harmonies are really good and catchy. my only criticism is that the mixing is a bit flat, but i imagine if you sidechained everything to your drums and added some compression it should be better

aloelucidity responds:

thank u!! im still a bit rusty on mixing soo i appreciate the tips :)

[Casporb - Gun]

i do feel like the basses (and generally all of the sounds) could have been glued together a bit more somehow, perhaps by removing the rests in between them or eqing them consistently? some of them sound a bit like presets. also, the snare is very distorted and has a lot of unnecessary low end. and maybe that 2-step drum pattern in the second drop was a little uncalled for? but this is still good :)

Casporb responds:

Agreed. Thank you.

[Homicide]

...and what great samples they are! you really nailed that oldskool sound

Jeansowaty responds:

THANKS SO MUCH!! :D

[bombstage]

a little slow for dnb (and the bomberman ost by extension) but i can definitely feel the mood otherwise! it's very relaxing to listen to :)

[it's gonna be alright]

quirky, swingy tune! i like it! the bitcrushing sounds great, and i particularly love the chords!

[ptolemy's study]

ooh, love me some microtonality!

the synth sounds good, but maybe a little plain? some effects would have sounded good. you should really extend this, it's a great idea!
