[Future Bass Track]

Hey man this is really cool! I like the filtered chord synth after the drop a lot, if you ever get a new PC (I'm currently in the same boat) it'd be great if you came back to this, maybe pad out the intro a little, some high, twinkly synths would really suit this, also a mid-section where it goes softer again similar to the intro would flow nicely. The way the intro rhythm evolves is a nice touch, great job ^^

ThomasTsao responds:

thanks once again for the helpful review. I too have lots of ideas for this track and i really want to put them and yours into effect, but the computer thing gets in the way. i think some of the issues with my computer is because of space, but i could be wrong. i recently downloaded the newest doom,which is a huge game, and now the lagging is at an all time high. i really like your thoughts for how this track could work and i would definitely add them in if i could.

This has some nice ideas in it, you'd definitely be doing a good thing by working this into a full track, maybe filling out the sound a little, I like the main synth chord sound, also the subtle changes in cutoff/etc throughout is a nice touch, give it a bit more time and work or maybe come back to it with fresh ears and add to it, good job ^^

Wamborghini responds:

Thanks, I'd like to work on it more but, I only have the demo of FL Studio so I can't save it and have to rush the song. Also the project is gone now :/

[Idk]

This is pretty cool, I like the drum sounds, the harmony is nice too. I found that the little chunk of melody that plays at 1:11 and in other places clashes with the harmony a little in my opinion, I think it was probably the use of a major 6th interval in a minor key whilst the harmony would have suited a minor 6th a little more, that's entirely personal preference though, good job ^^

Another-Time responds:

thx for feedback :3

[Identity Crisis]

The hard L/R panning of the drums and bass in the first half of this track were an odd choice to my ears, it sounded nice with the stereo width for a moment but quickly felt like something was missing from the middle. The change of mood in the section from 1:16 is nice, the first time the minor tonality is fully implied catches your ear nicely, good job ^^

ThomasTsao responds:

Thanks for the review. I thought it would sound cool so I did it, but I realized what you're describing after uploading it. Next time I should pay attention to my stuff.

[Foxan - Peaceful]

This has some nice ideas in it, I like the harmony change below the melody that comes in on occasion, like 0:47, hearing the same melody from a new perspective and how the relationship between the melody and chords change is always nice. The clean, reverb-heavy guitar(?) is a nice touch, it's got a little too much going on in the mid-low frequencies for my personal preference. good job with the track ^^

DJ-Foxxo responds:

Thank you so much! I really haven't been on here in so long, haha. I completely forgot about me uploading this!

[Nightmares]

The sample of the review was actually a really fun addition to this song IMO :D Good job!

BlueCat6123 responds:

Thanks! I had lots of fun with this track lol

[Escaping the Unspeakable]

This track has some nice ideas, the higher twinkly synth starting at 0:57 is really nice too, I think you should make a full song out of this at some point :D

Bradley-Pittman responds:

Hey, thanks :)
