[Today]

The track is great, however, I feel taking out the audience from the start altogether will make this a much better track to listen to.

The bass line is what got me to start enjoying the song. The light backing and grooving rhythm makes one feel really relaxed while listening to the song. The drums are clean and have a nice rhythm. I like the popping echo sound that is also heard from time to time, gives it some more pizazz.

The synth rhythm also has a really enjoyable rhythm that makes one feel like dancing or relaxing. As if today was always going to be an enjoyable day no matter what.

Overall, very enjoyable song, just remove the audience from the start and end and it's perfect.

[A glare goodbye]

The song has a calm sound to it. The tune sounds like it would fit in for the start of an adventure or at the end of a show about someone going on an adventure.

The synths have a crisp sound. What synths were used? Then the bass comes up constantly which sounds good since there is a high bass note then a lower bass note repeating. The drums are smooth and remind me of SNES games. The old sound synth makes me think of a piano.

Overall, decent starting song. Sounds great.

Thank you :3
Everyone says my songs are related to SNES songs but i never heard any SNES songs

["Quench"]

Really like how the intro makes me think of wandering into a city seeing it being desolate and wondering what is going to happen next.

The warping sound I hear is a great and chaotic sound. What is the warped vocals I am hearing by the way?

The synth is great and calming while the dub sounds provide the chaos for the song. The drums remind me of older 90s cartoon commercials where if I remember correctly they tended to use those type of drum rhythms.

The bass I hear feels like the greatest and calmest part of the song which is quite relaxing to hear.

Overall, great, chaotic, and wonderful to listen to at the same time.

[song of healing (cover)]

The stormy intro seems to make me think of Link sitting near water as the tune begins to play as he tries to fix everything he has yet to fix.

The light use of piano in the background for the up and down motion of the song is soothing on the ears. Then the violin sounds very crisp and seems to make me feel happier too. The combination of the two working together to recreate a beautiful song from a wonderful game is heartwarming to hear.

Overall, very beautiful cover.

thanks for review :)

[Remote Control wip]

This track is pretty neat and the buildup to the dubstep itself was rather spaced out in how it sounded.

The synth has a playful tone. Then in the background it sounds like the ocean is about to come out at you then stops as the genre overall simply changes.

The synth gets a far more spaced sound to it. Then the drums are thick giving a solid background. The synth sounds much more quirky to me too. The bass is light, soft, and has the feeling your own room has been soundproofed.

Overall, the track has a quirky tone to it.

[Crystal cave]

Right from the start I really liked this song. It gives the feeling of sitting in the cave alone thinking over your own past and what may become of your future. Really like the way the song sounds like something that would be used for a scene where one is reflecting on life and maybe where they will be going in the coming days.

The main synth going up and down has the sound of ebb and flow. Then the second sound (xylophone(?)) has a very calm sound, as if inviting one to sit and relax for the time being. The background music yet the simplicity of the beat is very nice to listen to.

Overall, really enjoyed this song.

[Stardust (WIP)]

I recognize the synth at the start but cannot remember the name of what that synth was in FL Studio. Then the drums begin to come in and it sounds like a song for exploring to.

The synth gives an atmospheric tone of exploring in space or near it. Then the second synth is very light and makes me think of looking at stars in the clear sky of the night. The drums sound clean and very nice to listen to.

For some reason with the drums I keep getting the feeling that there should be either a heavy use bass kicks or snares at times followed by a loud hi hat to give it more of a beat.

Overall, good work in progress, looking forward to the finished piece.

Enveri responds:

Actually, all of the synths used are one's I've downloaded (they're free to begin with) even though I do use FL. The bass/atmospheric synth from the beginning is called Microtrance, and happens to be one of my absolute favorites. I'll definitely play with the drums, but I'm probably keeping the pattern roughly the same.

Thanks for the review SCTE3, and I'm hoping to get this done soon.

[Zoltage]

Really smooth beat.

The song gives me an idea of slowly entering a party and everything begins to start as you greet your friends and the music plays loud with strobe lights.

The drums have a nice smooth rhythm. I like the constant use of the bass kick with hi hats coming in threes followed by a snare.

The main synth has a quirky sound to it that flows rather well. Then the second synth makes me think it is filling in the role for a bass. Also is that a bit of Gross Beat I heard being used and some Chip from sytrus?

When it comes together, the song sounds really, really nice.

Overall, great work.

Dylnmatrix responds:

Thank you! I never thought of a party when I made this song. That's what I love about other people listening to the music, everyone can interpret it differently.

Yes that is Gross Beat, that is so much fun to use. I don't believe I used Sytrus at all, just Z3TA+. Maybe I did, but I'm just too lazy to open FL back up to look.

[Darkisha (RMX)]

Track feels like it could have been a bit better had you taken out the drum loop added since the heavy bass kicking seems to ruin the song. Take that out and I think this could be a much better remix than it currently is.

The synth sounds nice, has the sound of going up, up, and repeat. Then there is a second and much longer sounding synth note that gives some atmosphere to the theme as if you were sitting outside and relaxed.

The drums sound really good. The hi hats are nice although maybe juggle between three of them or more for a different drum beat. When the song gets there the later part of the constant drum kicks and snare comboing sounds very nice to me.

The deep sounding liquid synth seems a little off to me too like the drum sound from the intro.

Overall, remove that drum sound near the start and possibly work on the drums a bit and the song can be much better.

First off, I'm very sorry for the really late response. I don't know how to give a proper response to actual constructive criticism. :/

1) Nothing much I can say about the drums, really. Putting a little more variation here and there is the least I could do, I guess.

2) About the deep liquid-y synth you're referring to, I'm assuming it's the arps you're referring to.

[Lies]

Really loved the vocals for this song since they give a very comforting feeling. Is the tune meant to be for an anime or what? That or maybe the intro to a game, in either case it fits for both.

The vocals are very easy to listen to and make you feel relaxed. The synth playing gives me a thought of a dream sequence playing in my head where people just drift by with their name being shown. The guitar is smoothly played. The drums have a very smooth rhythm and I like the double bass kicking combined with the hi hat pattern ( as in two drum kicks right around one hi hat).

The lyrics are really nice and enjoyable.

Overall, excellent collaboration song.

Shanath responds:

Yes, this is sort of a cover of an anime opening so I guess it would give off that feeling. Thanks for leaving a review!
