[The rising of the sun]

What a cool song, really like the feeling you've got going here! 4 stars mainly because the transitions make the song seem choppy to me, I'd consider fading in/out a bit more instead of cutting off the tracks instantly if that makes sense? All the parts coming in at once at 0:15 and dropping at 1:20 were what I didn't like, but that's just opinion really. Constructive criticism aside, this is really well mixed! (at least for my speakers lol) Especially with the chimes, this has a super dope relaxing vibe, chill af. Keep it up!

This is super awesome really cool sound you've got, well done! :) Absolutely love that bass sample you're using, you worked it in reaaaal nice. I was between 4-4.5 stars for a couple reasons, mainly I'm not a fan of that buildup style. You kinda saved it for me right before the drop with the syncopation, instead of just snaring faster all the way through. Very cool way to break it up into something better than the generic "speed up the snare" buildup we hear so often. Also I think it might flow better if you fade in the treble instruments as they join in, they seem a bit "punchy" to me but maybe that's the intention. Constructive criticism aside, I could totally see this being played at a rave/party and being a huge hit. Killer job with this one, keep it up!!

Thank you, glad you liked it <3

[Ethereal Aura]

What a moving song! If that's what you were going for as you said in the comments, you freakin' nailed it! If I had to say something to constructively criticize I might've liked a bit of filter/reverb on the muted horn part from 0:48 to 1:40. The last minute and a half of this song brings to mind some profound realization feeling to me, as if I'd be making a choice that'll change everything but just coming to understand the gravity of it all... if that makes sense? Killer song stranger, well done

ZaazNG responds:

Thank you so much for your kind words and advice!! :)

[A little being]

I really like the sound of this, very well done. Feels like I'm in a fairy tale or something, curious, dreamy, and relaxed.. with a touch of sadness maybe? ..super cool! Would you mind if I sample it for a future project? If so, do you happen to know the key and bpm? Whatever I make is always free, though I'd always link to here (or wherever) to give credit where it's due :)

SarahRBC responds:

Of course! This is originally called "Nara's theme" but changed it, sounds a little to specific :^

[Bordered On Calm]

Oh it exists alright, and it's freakin' weird! But soothing at the same time ya know? That transition at 1:04 kinda threw me for a loop and I wasn't too sure what to make of it, but listening again it totally works for me. I could totally see this being a shop song in a game or something, super chill. Well done stranger!

CheemMan responds:

Thanks for the response, appreciate the review! Have a good day stranger!

[Wubbaduck & Auphinity - Whistle of Death]

The buildup dragged on a bit much for my taste.. but gawd DAYUMN when that drop hit?!? Super dooooper, well done! Felt a bit hollow to me after 1:28 for the second drop, would've like to hear more backround sounds/beat to keep that groovy feel movin' if you know what I mean? Seriously though, killer song! Can't wait to blast this in the car on the way to work on Monday. Solid 4.5/5 from me

[Gamma Gears - Aww Man OST]

Super cool. I really like your buildups, and the song really has the feel that I look for in "good dubstep". I really like the breakdown bits in the second verse, 1:15, 1:22, etc.
One thing, I might've thrown a filter in there to bring those parts away and then back, to bring more " snap" feeling when the full track comes back in. But constructive criticisms aside, killer song! 5/5 for sure, Is the game released yet?

DeadbushiaYT responds:

The game is actually a roblox game, and it's been out for 3 years! This is part of a major update where you destroy your own soul to reach the "soulless" tier of weapons. The update itself is not out yet, but there are tons of goodies in the game still. You should be able to find it on my roblox profile "xBushi". Thanks for the feedback!

[EnV - Valkyrie]

Nicely done as usual! 10 years later and STILL killin' it!
