[Break in the Rain]

This song is incredible IMO, it does require some much lower bass to fill out sound. I love the mix of slap bass and punchy drums.

BusanBlack responds:

Yeah I love the bass line.
Its the hook hah
Thank you again!

[Lazy Town]

Really Impressive Mix, Could use a more pronounced melody but otherwise everything fits into place very nicely!

BusanBlack responds:

Yeah I was hoping the synth violin I was using could stand out as a melody and then when it would stop the other background scales linger about. Kinda lazy and all haha. Thank you ^_^

[Memories Gone]

Really good work here. I love how crisp and snappy everything is. Even though this is an odd mix of sounds it works really well. The only real additions I would make are sub-bass and maybe making baritone layers to fill out space since a lot of the sounds are in the upper register.

BusanBlack responds:

Yeah I think a sub bass would have worked well here but I have a habit of dropping the bass lines in and letting them stick out versus using an undertone. If anything a variety in bass could have worked but I was also a bit lost on finding the funk.

Adding another layer like baritone would have worked too and even out the sounds. I shall make note of this when making another beat. Thank you for the critique <3!

[The Von Carstein Waltz]

Very nice however not in waltz form as promised lmao

GilgameshMusic responds:

Haha, thank you! It started off as a very simple concept where I just wanted to write something with a slower bpm than I normally do, and it quickly expanded well beyond that

[Dream or Reverie]

Its good but the sound that sounds like an air compressor blowing out rdoesnt really fit with the piece in my opinion (sorry if that was ab offensive description I have no clue how else to describe the sound) maybe a different version of the same sound would fit better but that specific one is too crisp and loud for this piece

mcOoohmami responds:

Love the description! I’ve had second thoughts about it since and I plan on reworking that layer, cheers bud

[Spiral Down]

I Enjoy this very much even though this isnt my preference of music, I would say everything mixes well together and makes a sort of solemn, content atmosphere. I like the chromatic scaling at around 5 minutes, it adds a nice tension to that part. However I would say the saxophone is a little overbearingly bright, if the sound was softened slightly it would be an overall improvement =D

LexRodent responds:

Thanks for listening.
I'll give a check to the saxes EQ, maybe I can lower a bit the highs without messing the mix too much. Glad you enjoyed it.

[Vivinear]

this sounds pretty amazing! needs some more dynamic control but otherwise is pretty good

EthanWallee70 responds:

With the software I'm using, more dynamic control really isn't an option. I wish I could do more to control the fine details, but if you have any suggestions for programs to use, I'd be more than happy to hear them.
