[Xenon Brain (Drum & Bass)]

Nice song! I don't know if I'd classify this as drum and bass but then again I'm not 100% sure what else this would go under. I really like the 2nd half of the song a lot but the first half is a mixed bag for me. The mixing in the first half is a little weak, the drums are a little difficult to hear and around :28 the cymbals are a little too loud. The first half doesn't really seem to relate at all to the second half, it almost feels like a completely different song. But there is definitely potential! I look forward to your future stuff!

XenonMusic responds:

Thanks for your feedback! I am releasing songs like crazy before I start my "Great Beautiful Amazing Remix Project" in which I make remixes of popular songs with good drops. Thank you for following, and be sure to check out some of my other tracks!

[Small Adventure Ghost]

Nice song! There's a lot of variety which I like. There some mixing inconsistencies for example around :57 when the snare and rest of the drums comes in there's some distortion in the snare, I'm not sure if that's intentional but I just thought you'd like to know! In the beginning the high synth is a little harsh on the ears. Overall, the song is kinda bare it just feels like it's missing something but I'm unsure what the problem is mainly around :28 to :38. I think what it might need is a little more chordal synths in the background. But other than that, it has a lot of potential and for that, I am scouting you! I look forward to future songs :)
Sorry if this came off as harsh, it isn't my intention I promise!

Kumashi responds:

Thanks for your feedback! I'll continue to upload stuff and I really hope I get some more feedback not only from you but from anyone who listens. Thanks a lot for your advice as well, I promise I'll get better.

[Back On Track - Dance Remix [Geometry Dash]]

Nice remix! I enjoyed the listen! Sure it's not as crazy layered as the original but sometimes it doesn't have to be. This is a lot more uplifting than the DJVI version which makes it have it's own identity. I think a lot of remixers tend to forget they have to put their own twist on the song to make it stand out because without that what's the point of listening to a remix ya know?

PancakePocket responds:

Thanks for the review! I try to make my remixes more upbeat and uplifting so thanks for noticing that!

[Pose]

Nice song! I can totally here someone rap over this! It's a little repetitive, it'd actually make the song better if there were vocals as it feels like it was a beat the had the vocals taken off but you seem to know that lol so I won't be too much of a scrooge about it. Keep up the great work!

LucidDebate responds:

Yeah, after I finished the tune, I was like, "Hm, maybe I oughtta get someone to rap over this," but hey, didn't have the resources at hand! Thanks for the feedback again, I always appreciate you checking out my music!

[Battle of sounds!]

This makes me happy to listen to! Mixing is quite great! The lead synth is a little harsh but I really don't mind, I like the color a lot! I like the solo around :42 that goes until the "chorus" it's pretty great! This was a fun listen!

TenodiBoris responds:

Thank you for the review, I love constructive criticism, about lead, when i started playing with it I thought it was little harsh too, but after time I got used to it and decided to leave it that way :)
I'm very glad that you like it :)

[Signals from the never]

I like the sounds of your synths! They're quite nice! The kick might be a little over shadowed by everything else but other than that your mixing alright! The only problem I have with the song is that it doesn't feel like it goes anywhere. Usually in a song you can chart things like the climax, rising and falling action etc. but here I don't really feel that. It's kind like a movie, you wanna build up to something crazy and then let that sink down into a finish. I struggle with it myself a lot of the time but you learn with more practice :) Great job on the song otherwise!

Nitrocore responds:

Thanks for the advice.

Song structure is something I definitely need to work on, as well as my mixing.

I appreciate you taking the time to leave a review, many thanks.

[Hyper Dance]

I like the beat! It's very interesting and has a lot of flavors to it! If there's one problem I have it's in the EQing department, it's a little too hissy for my taste but that's only because the high frequencies are turned up quite a bit. It kinda is hard on the ears on higher volumes but other than that easy fix this is a great tune! A lot of variety and a great drum beat to keep the song interesting! Keep up the great work!

VorticityMusic responds:

Yeah, I definitely understand the high end. EQing isn't my strong point lul. The funny thing is I put an eq on the master and got rid of all of the extreme high-end sounds and it still sounds kinda hissy as you say lol, but it might be partly due to the main saw sound, idk. Anyway, glad you like it! :)

[O.O.E.]

Yo this is sick! And it's in the genesis soundfont! My favorite! This is some great stuff. I like the melody from :21-1:04, it is rather intense which I like. It doesn't loop too great but that's just a nitpick from me really. I could picture this in some sort of shoot 'em up or in something like gunstar heroes.

adaMills responds:

I never really knew how to make it loop perfectly, but no matter how much I try, it always seems to have that tiny little fraction of a second stop before looping. I must be doing something wrong somewhere. But in any case, thank you so much for listening and rating! It makes me happy that people still rock out to the Genesis soundfonts. It was so gritty and rockin, I love it as well.

[I Just Wanna Feel Love]

I like the voice sample that continues throughout the song, it's really cool! The buildup is nice and the drop is alright! There's a lot of variety to the song which I like! There's some mixing funkiness going on with the snare and it being a little too hissy although that might be a thing on my end so take that with a grain of salt. Other than that, nice song! You got yourself a new follower!

BlockGhost responds:

Thanks for the follow.

[Lizard]

This is a groovy lizard!
With jokes aside this is a bop! I love it! Your mixing is very well done but the beat overall is on the quieter side. If you normalized it through your DAW I think that would suffice but even pumping it up even 3-5dB you'd be golden.
Pumped for the album!

LucidDebate responds:

Thank you for the feedback! :)
