[gadg3t - disconnect (Lo-fi)]

This is a really neat song that passes off a really good vibe. I think it executes a very chill mood very well. I do think you could have eased into the song a bit better.

Overall it's really good so good job! Keep up the good work.

gadg3tmusic responds:

Thanks for the kind words!!

[TheMe0wdie - Under The bed]

This gives off a really nice vibe but I feel like a lot more could have came out of it. It suffers from a lack of dynamism with not much to make up for it. I also think it could've been a bit longer as well.

Overall I think you should add a lot more too it because the song only feel like 2 different parts.

TheMe0wdie responds:

Thanks for the comment, I'm not really that good at making music but I'll take this for the next time.

[Machine Of Cogs]

This is really sick and 1:44 sounds really nice. The main sound in 2:02 is drowning other sounds out so I think you should tone it down a bit to still have it be the main sound but let some other sounds come through. I think the ending could've been a bit more defined. As far as dynamism goes this is pretty good but the songs best quality is it's composition.

Overall this is really sick and I think it's very well done besides some minor things.

The transition at 1:27 needs to be a lot smoother because it's really sudden. The beginning got really repetitive. Like lotuspath said you should probably tone down those liquid sounds because it drowns everything out (no pun intended.) The ending doesn't really feel defined either.

Overall It's a very interesting idea that I think could have been executed better.

[cYsmix - Freya]

A some parts are dynamic with a lot of energy to them and some parts are pretty simple with a lot of energy to make it simple but really effective. It has a really nice start that isn't special in particular. Just a nice simple beat to start off. The transitions felt really smooth except the one at 1:10 felt kind of iffy to me. 1:57 is just absolutely amazing because it's what I was talking about earlier where it's simple with a lot of energy to it with an occasional sound included so it's really effective. The melody sounds so good as well and the overall song is just super catchy. The way the melody (I think it's a melody 🤔) was introduced in 1:26 was absolutely amazing as well and I think it did a super good job of setting up the drop.

Overall amazing song and I look forward to hearing more things from you! This was amazing!

Ngl this kind of gives me shapes and beats vibes.

[Sugar]

The song ends rather abruptly so I think you need a more defined ending. 1:57 that bass is drowning out that playful sounds in the song and it seems the song is trying to pass off a playful vibe so I think you should lower that bass. Same goes for 0:49. I also think the song could have added a bit more sounds to it as well.

Overall I think this could use some work but it's not that bad so good job! Kind of feels like a game song.

D4T4M4N responds:

Thank you! I will have to adjust the bass, i just really wanted it to stand out because of how odd and crunchy it is. I reuploaded the audio because the abrupt ending was a rendering error. I love when i stumble across weird synth noises that fit well with what im trying to make. What kind of sounds do you think would be nice? I might try to add some chords now.

[That's What I'm Talking About]

2:40 has this build up before and it said drop the beat but it didn't really contrast any other parts of the song. I kind of expected that part to be a bit more different. I think you should have made the whisper a bit lower to help set the mood of the song a bit better. The main thing that changes in the song are the voices so I think the song could have benefited from being a bit more dynamic. Now it has a nice beat to it and it gives a chill kind of operation vibe to it so that's nice. Like a stake out scene in a movie.

Overall the only thing I have to say is that I think it needs to be a bit more dynamic. Besides that I don't think it's bad and I think it's really chill and vibey.

DigitalProdigy responds:

I agree 100% about the drop, and the build up. That's a mixing issue I am still working on. I am still learning how to make drops bigger, from increasing the volume of the drop tracks to make it seem bigger after the buildup, to changing the dynamics.
Thank you so much for the review.
