[Giš Eren Giš Tir - (In The Dark Cedar Forest, Humbaba Stares At You)]

While the melodies are *really* dissonant throughout (and not in a good creepy way), the atmospheres and sound designs in this is superb. The pads sounds quite loud and there are not enough sub bass imo, but the structure still works and the vibe is still immaculate

TheVodouQueen responds:

Hi there! Unsure how to respond, but I'm not sure how the melodies are dissonant in not a good way? The intent was for them to have an echo and shimmer, and there is bass and sub bass present... Perhaps it is a sound balancing issue, but I seem to constantly struggle with getting people hooked to the melody and harmony in all my songs...which is kind of disheartening. Sound design, drum kit and vibe are always brill and praised, but everything else is less than desirable and it reflects in the scores something fierce.... I am at a loss how to strengthen those attributes, although this was just done in about a day's time....

If you have any tips or tricks, those would be great to share. I apologize if the melodies and pads were too harsh, but glad you enjoy the remaining bits that were good. :)

Thank you for your critique! Always nice to receive them when I can. ♡

can't wait to actually listen to the whole thing instead of just listening to my part for several hours on loop

NEYRAX IS ON NEWGROUNDS?! :OOOOOO

[Outside II]

great work! i suggest you learn more about mixing though. sidechain is lacking. the sparkling/windchime sound and the clock sound is too loud. the melodies are repeated too much, i suggest adding a lead melody and maybe some more synth sounds. using some filter automations would be nice too! good song either way, keep going!

Moeame responds:

It seems that there are more skills on composing I should learn in the future. Thank you for your suggestions!

[HexCeed - Broken Dreams]

so throughout the entire track, there aren't tensions anywhere (which is good for background music but i'm not sure if that's your intention). mixing is decent but could use some more panning and the piano can be less loud. the song is pretty repetitive so nothing much I can say. overall nice atmosphere and emotions, great job!

Natcl23 responds:

Well, I'm still learning, I'll get there someday. Thanks as always!

[HexCeed - Sky]

this track is lovely! nice melody, good structuring. mixing and mastering still need work but since you're making this on a phone so i won't judge, this is really good already :)

Natcl23 responds:

I got myself Fl Studio on my laptop, still though, got a hard time figuring how it works

[Bunzen (Original Mix)]

i think that this needs a lot more high frequencies (or maybe because the bass is stereo). the track also clipping a lot. some more reverb on fills and instruments will def help. overall i like this but it needs better mixing. mind if i edit this a little for personal uses?

PsiStarOfficial responds:

Thx for the advices! Of course you can use this ;)
