[Blow It Up]

I love this future house style: gritty and aggressive :P Sound design and melody is pretty good but mixing and mastering wise, it needs a lot of touch-ups. Cymbals and leads are way too loud, build lacks energy, too much high frequencies, clipping everywhere. Some tips for ya:
- Get a spectrum analyzer. SPAN is a free one that every producers love to use. Use it to check your mixing if any elements is too loud.
- Use several compressors on the master, each has its own setting. There are many guides about it on the internet.
- Put a limiter at the end of your mastering chain and limit it to -0,3 dB. That should prevent most of the distortions from happening.
Anyway nice job on this, you can always learn to improve yourself along the way:D

Thanks for your comment.
The clipping is a style element in my tracks, for example I'm softclipping my Kicks and Claps for getting more room for other elements. But I'll try to make it better next time!

I really like the vibe of this one, that's for sure. Nice melody, good mixing, really suitable for a late night vibe. I just have a little problem with the drums, they're kinda weak. I edited it a little and hope you don't mind.

(also songs in this style should be listed as Hip Hop - Old School, a House track has the drum pattern like your track "Dawn")

Natcl23 responds:

Seriously man, edit it all you want I couldn’t care less about that :p thanks for your comment btw ^^ and I put house only cuz I am the worst at knowing what genre it is •___•

[Nyctophilia ~ Out There]

daaaaaaaaamn :DDD this drop is deeeeep. i really like this. the sub was a little too wide, too little high frequencies at drop. the parts other than drop wasn't that fitting and outro was abrupt however, but you'll learn over time. keep goin ;)

Nyctophilia responds:

I'm glad you like it! I also felt the ending wasn't right but I wasn't quite sure how to do it so I changed it to that (there were worse options, believe me XD). Again, thanks for both the good and bad!

[EDM shit]

back to 2012
this is worse than i expected and that's a good sign. i don't have much to say other than taking it easy on the compression (which might be intentional so feel free to r/wooosh me)

[Destroid - Annihilate (H3XAGON3ST remix)]

the mix is pretty muddy and drowned in reverb, mastering ain't good either. drums are weak, snare seems to have too much reverb. really nice sound designs. i think this is a bootleg (remix by sampling original track) more like, explaining some issues. cool idea, just not up to expectation, sorry.

you haev smol peen lol

this drop is currently really weak rn. add some cymbals and more wubs. maybe even arps.

I Work in it!

[Old School]

eurodance and happy hardcore are way faster, this is just happy techno :p clean mix, great melody. just need a little more sfx and cymbals and you would nail it perfectly ;D

(goddamnit i feel nostalgic)

SpeTheof responds:

nah this is not even close to techno xD
