[Koraii - Sanctuary]

Now this is quality shit. The composition in this one is fucking lovely, I especially liked the break idk why, but all I know is that this track is reeeaaaaally well made, the atmosphere, the arrangement, the tom fills aaaaah :weary: also those sevenths with the big ass chord stacc got me wet💦💦
Just great job dude 👍

KORAII responds:

Ey, glad you enjoyed bud :)

[-Last Day on Earth-]

Those weird percussions are on point! The composition and arrangemet are very well done, but i'll have to agree with mcgorilla, the center of the mix feels REALLY empty, and around 2:40 it sounds like the instruments are fighting each other to get heard, like you automated some things to go lower and others to go higher, which was pretty uncomfortable to listen to, but other than that it's awesome.

Preds responds:

Thanks man! I’ll work on the enhancing and panning!

[Exploration of Styles EP - Switch]

this bangs bruh but I'd lower the decay in some reverbs there, you know long tail reverbs are dangerous xd

[Boss Wilder - I Am The One]

This sounds like boulevard of broken dreams lol

[Eruption - Rose]

You should stop quashing your tracks so much, this sounds too forced and just... Ugly.

Believe me, if this track wasn't so compressed it would sound so much better, like when you kill the dynamics of a track you can't really identify what is quiet and whatnot, everything is loud there.
A song is made of quieter and more agitated moments. In real life, a guitar alone doesn't have the same intensity as when the drums join in. When compression occurs in an exaggerated way, it makes everything louder, which ends up stealing the dynamics away from the music itself, thus you end up sacrificing quality by loudness, so keep that in mind, next time just try to lower the compression a bit keeping just *some* dynamics (don't overdo it) and you'll be good to go.
And yeah, this track has quieter parts but the actually loud parts feel overcompressed, so you should also try to keep the track balanced so the loud parts aren't too loud and the quiet parts too quiet.

EruptionMusic responds:

Thanks for the feedback! i appreciate it when people give me actual advice instead of saying something like "bad song lol". Have a nice day

[[Future Drum and Bass] Delete - GoldHeartSenpai]

Hey! Nice track, the melody is great and the mixing is pretty decent, it can be better of course, in the drops, the elements seem to be fighting to get heard, and it gets to sound kind of messy.

The non drop sections are probably too quiet, also the melody in the second drop has off key notes, I told you this before but you didn't fixed it, consider it the next time! :p

Thanks for the credits btw

lmao

Febbs responds:

Yes I forgot to do that. Sorry... :/
Lol

[PancakePocket - The Way [Dance]]

O damn that chord progression, one of the most overused progressions of all time, it's just... Classic, but, i'm kind of tired of it :p
The arrangement could have been better, i know that you tried to make it less repetitive but, it still pretty boring, one trick to make things less repetitive is to use different synths, but using the same midi, a section where you could try changing the synths is the part where there's a riser and a vocal sample, adding more powerful instruments and more intense drums, to give that climax feel you know what i mean?

PancakePocket responds:

Thanks for the review! I will take what you said seriously and try to improve the next song!

[Beachside With You]

Fucking lovely

johnfn responds:

u2bb

[Subatomic]

not bad, the mixing could be better, the melody is too repetitive and it gets boring quickly

[re:カレント]

boiii that's some proper squashing! ;) delicious composition and amazing texture for sure, loving that vocal lead <3

Miyolophone responds:

Not as delicious as you guys <3
...wait, is that a weird thing to say
