[Stargenx - Winds of Mercy]

Really enjoyable and yet ever so calm rhythm and beat. Kind of makes me think of happy endings to older animes I used to enjoy watching a lot when I was younger which is pretty great. The song gives a feel like things have changed and turned for the better. Very good song.

The guitar sounds really nice and high in the note range to make the person hearing it feel happy. The piano in an ever rising feel gives that feeling like good things will happen and I like how the lower notes are longer and linger too. The drums here sound most excellent and I like how they sound a lot. The synth being the final piece gives that ever cheerful feel as well, great song.

Overall, this song is wonderful!

[Firststep]

Not really too bad for an attempt but what program(s) did you use to make this? I recognize the drums from FL Studio at least and the rest are from there too it seems but not quite sure what they are though. However for dubstep, if you did it in FL Studio then impressive or did you use Ableton for it instead?

The synth here had a pretty cool yet dandy flanger effect and for a few moments it feels like the bass melted into it as if the bass was turned up on the synth to blend in as a backing sound for the synth, pretty nice idea if you can't make your own unique bass line for the beat actually.

The drums have a nice solid sound to them and fusing the clap and snare together as one beat went over pretty well here actually. The wub sounds were kind of dull sadly. If you had tried having them going up in a quicker pattern it could have come as a nice fast tune to the beat and pumping it up.

Overall, not too bad for your first dubstep attempt.

Thanks for the comment! I used FL for everything :)

[Daedalus' labyrinth - HAB]

This song was rather neat and gives me that feeling like I am going through a maze and yet having no idea of how to get to the exit and find weapons here and there to help me survive against the animals unleashed into the maze. Tune in itself kind of feels like a maze at the same time.

The drums have that rather dynamic feel and sound very dramatic as if trying to give the feeling of something always, always happening in that strange maze. The chorus was nice and I like how light it managed to stay light when it played while the song played on and kept going.

The harp sounded beautiful here and was very well composed in that melody. The wind instruments went nicely and I like how they give that over the top drama effect to the song like something could happen at any moment as the person turned each corner in the maze.

Alternatively, this could make an excellent boss battle song too, nice.

Overall, very dynamic and great maze/boss song!

[F-777 - Not Afraid]

This track was a most beautiful track that you have produced. The tune gives that sick vibe of relaxing yet wanting to dance at the same time so I have to say I really enjoyed hearing this track and listening to it all the way! For a moment it feels like you can hear vocals coming in at the one minute mark but it is just the music speaking.

The wobbles added in kind of make me think of shuffling actually, nice little thought I think. The piano gives a sense of relaxation and just being able to enjoy life without being scared all the time and being who you are and what you wish to be. Songs gives a sense of just never giving up your dreams and strive to be what you wish to be.

The drums were really nice and seem to give that relaxing feel to the whole track and very soft on the mind as it comes in. Just sounds like drum kicks for the most part though which works. The lighthearted synth track works like a wonder here as it gives that definite dancing feel like everything in life is good.

The bass heard here gives that last boost needed to make the song its absolute best!! Excellent work here on this track. Looking forward to more as always!

Overall, sick beat.

[We're All Friends Here]

I found the voice acting to be very solid here and I heard little to no popping sounds at all which helps make it sound a lot better. The dialogue was most hilarious to me since the boss kept annoying Randall with some questions for a start.

Nice to see Randall got a promotion too and his boss keeps getting his name wrong which is pretty funny since he keeps saying it constantly. The boss's heavy breathing when speaking of his girlfriend creeps Randall out since he keeps getting more and more intrusive with questions and then he gets chewed out by Randall.

Nice to see his boss finally admit he has no friends since his attitude towards people goes from friendly to just being downright creepy instead. Nice to see Randall is kind enough to start over with him and try to get him to at least have one friend. Then he creeps him out again and he walks out.

Overall, funny skit since he keeps talking to people in a friendly matter then just goes creepy on them. Very funny and nicely done.

[Dj Sonik - Word Salad (20]

This turned out to be a really great beat and nice to see it has a really nice and dark feeling to it like something was about to go down in a city at night while the zombies look for a bite but the humans just won't stop the fight while they take them out with guns and knives. Very cool and solid beat.

The background bass is actually very good as it gives a surround sound feeling like there are zombies out there everywhere. The drums run smoothly and seem to make the whole thing seem like an upward yet hard battle to accomplish. The piano and reverse effect sounds actually make this all the more interesting to hear too.

Overall, great song and very much enjoyable too. Have fun with more in the future.

[Delusionshy]

The song has a nice classical video game feel to it. The use of vocal samples here were pretty good making it change from soft techno to sounding a bit harsher and the way the vocals are used kind of make me think of Dollface's voice from the new Twisted Metal actually which is kind of weird I suppose.

Fluttershy's voice being distorted was actually pretty nice since it does give the feeling that she is becoming delusional as the song goes on. Then goes back to being calm as she remembers who she is.

The 8-bit digital synth sounds very nice and rather enjoyable too. The harder sounding synth gives a feel of going into a boss battle with Fluttershy as the player tries to help her calm down and regain composure again. The bass sounds really nice here and lovely how it sounds so thick too. The drums sound like a live digital drum recording too. Nice how it ends with her being a bit mocking, I guess she wins the boss battle or she says that right before regaining composure.

Overall, interesting song and would make for a great boss battle song. Looking forward to more.

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it, I'm actually planning on revisiting this song later to add some more length and to change and clean up a couple of things.
Thanks again! :b

sorry about the late response, been pretty busy lately. :/

[Lament of a Rusty Heart]

For something that is only on piano it sounds beautiful. Love how the notes slightly ring out too after each note is played creating kind of a backing bass effect as a normal piano also would. The composition is very beautifully played. Kind of sounds like the effect for the piano is a concert hall kind of thing where it plays loud and clear for everyone to hear at the same time.

Overall, I don't really see anything wrong with this piece so nice work I think.
