[Sudden Freeze]

The song falls short composition wise imo. The drop has no sort of progression to it. I recommend a chord progression to go to it or maybe have it change more often. At 0:52 the note changes but to not much of an effect. The mixdown is a bit questionable. It sounds a bit cluttered. Maybe some stage gaining and panning would help. The snare choice doesn't seem fitting. I think Sharks is a good example for inspiration because this sounds like his style. I feel like the main issue was the approach to it tbh. I think the beginning piano could be a bit softer and quieter and then gradually get louder to add to the build up. It also gets a bit repetitive despite the short time it's played. Sound design sounds pretty nice though.

Thankss for feedback

[Blizzrd - Frozen Fern]

This has some frostpunk vibes to it. I would've like to see a bit more atmosphere in the beginning. The composition is ok but I wish it would switch up the pace or have more variety in notes like maybe some more quarter notes or eighths.

BlizzrdMusic responds:

Thank you for the feedback! I can understand all of those points. It was my first 3 minute Ambient track, but I can see and completely understand a lot of the points.

[Intersection]

Pretty groovy track. Well done 👌

[Skyships]

I really enjoyed the composition of this piece and the counterpoint is quite nice! The track sounds like it has character to it!

HollandAlbright responds:

Thanks so much! I appreciate that a lot!

[Love Love Love]

Very well mastered song. I wish the vocals were just a tad bit louder.

[6am Funk]

I really like the composition of this. The chord progression at 1:28 gets really repetitive since it last for the rest of the song. I would recommend making a countermelody. I would also recommend maybe switching up your second chord sometimes or voicing your chord progression differently.

[Autumn Sunset]

Your track sounds kind of lowpassy and a bit muddy. It sounds like some of your instruments could be thinned out a bit more with an EQ. The G# at 0:51 sounds very out of place. The main thing is the track just needs more clarity to it. The composition isn't bad though.

MarquinRobes responds:

I really need to use accidentals properly. Thanks for the feedback though

[iiiiiii]

Hm didn't know you were into making music like that.

[The Moon Serpent]

Holy damn this is beautiful! Very well done! Sounds like it could use some mastering but it could just be I listened to a louder track before this. Other than that the composition is amazing! I'll definitely be sending for a frontpage!

Edit: Nevermind it already got frontpaged

Deemo-R responds:

I actually neglected to mention but it was mixed and mastered by Dennis Sands - I don't really have access to the same hardware or impeccable ears so my mix would sound quite worse, haha. They really played with a lot of dynamic contrast so we let the finished product have a bit of range and be overall a bit lower than most commercial stuff. Thanks so much for the feedback, and I appreciate the support!

[Let's Meet Up! (Orange County)]

Sounds pretty nice but your instruments sound very dry and I recommend a better choir sample even if it is a video game song because they sound very low quality. The song's composition is very nice but falls a bit flat on the mix. It sounds like you need more space for your lead instruments. The repeat brings it down tbh.

SupaBubba responds:

I really appreciate the feedback, there is some really helpful stuff in here. Thanks for lending your ear :)
