[Candlelit Waltz]

4/5 I didnt hear any candles in the mix
and some bassline would be nice
other than that nice melodies and progression :ú

DelitescentAria responds:

you FOOL

the baroque era has no such thing as a "bassline"

your ignorance insults me!

jk jk thanks for the review
i wanted to keep it kinda authentic and it was based on a scene in a story im writing so theres no candles because of the setting! (kinda idk) i just really liked those damn chords

[Just Havin A Smoke]

dont smoke its not good for you

...it takes life from you and this track could use a bit more of life... more changes in rhythm, but other than that it's nice (:)

DelitescentAria responds:

heck u dude ur not my mum

thanks tho

[Spirit Of The Forest]

hey there, I really like the basses and synths, though it all happens kind of too fast imo, especially the first drop, which also stops very suddenly, I'd play around that transition to the middle part a bit more.. the guitar that kicks in later is also a nice touch

Production-wise it's perfect, really, nice and loud yet very clear

sounds like you know what you're doing, keep it up :)

Spline-1337 responds:

Thank you)

[Riot Out Of Hell]

whaat

this beats all of my "hard" tracks, the mix is tight and loud and bass sound design super wild,

the drops are perfect, maybe the intro and middle part could be more "sinister" with slower chord changes and more background effects, now it's a bit cheesy

you progressed so much though, keep it up

DelitescentAria responds:

gaaaah! im so happy! thank youuuuuuuuuu!!!

[Insane]

hey there

the crash cymbal feels a bit too loud imo, especially around 1:12 and 2:00, you could eq out some of the piercing frequencies

there are some dissonant vibes in 1:18 and 2:06, not sure if that was on purpose

other than that it's alright, nice lyrics and guitar, the beat works, it has some flow.. I like that humming part before the end

that's about it from me, I don't really have much experience with making this style of music :)
keep it up

Towny responds:

Thank you for the feedback! You're right about those high frequencies, I'm gonna mess around with some low passes and see what comes out

[Electric Rain]

this is called trance now right
I dig that kind of lofi intro
you could use a bit wilder type of bass for the drop, some more movement you know <:)))))))()

DelitescentAria responds:

Ayyy you're here

Ill think about it

I thought it was future bassy tho
Im still a dumbass i guess

[Push and Pull]

progresses nicely yo
really like the sounds, kind of enigmatic but still dancy *<>*

DelitescentAria responds:

thank

[Skyhigh]

3/4? Is this 18th century or something

I think your mixdowns are getting better, it's a nice airy chill thing, though there isn't much going on for its lenght, I'd make it shorter or add more stuff over time, like the section that starts at 3:08 feels almost the same as at 2:01, I demand more of a drastic change /!:)/

DelitescentAria responds:

yeah it was stretching out a bit

but more drastic would ruin the airy feeeeeeeel (/ ; A ;)/

(fair criticism tho)

[Evaluation License]

It has kind of "exploring" mood, at least to me, so it could work just right as a backround music for a indie game or something

but as a piece for seperate listening it would need a bit more, imo, it lacks a main melody or some kind of hook that would really catch your attention

it just goes on and on, I would really appreciate some change in the rhythm at some point, maybe add some more percussion element here and there, switch instruments from time to time

also 1:16 transition was too sudden to my taste, fadeout ending was already mentioned before me

mix sounds alright

not bad as your first tune, really, good luck with future music making :)

ETRossier responds:

You're right, it works a bit better as background music. I need to work on my composition skills themselves, and work on building some variety and producing catchy melodies. This music stuff is some tough shit.

[Vantage]

hey this reminds me of something... I dont know what... but it's definitely... something... a song... in a video... about something... a few years back... perhaps

the crashes and hats get kind of piercing after a while imo

but it has groove, a nice cheery thing, keep it up :)/)

DelitescentAria responds:

thanks :)

its a quickie to get back in the groove of making stuff
yknow, when you lose all drive to make music you just gotta put something out

even if its lazy, it helps
