[Sunday Picnic]

The constant high hats get a little annoying after a while and some of the sound design is not exactly my favorite but otherwise it's pretty nice. You managed to have groove and atmosphere with this funky little tune.

OrangeFluff responds:

Aww yeahh I agree it's pretty repetitive, thank you for your review!

[Troublesome Train]

I think the train starts moving when the cymbals kick in in the intro. And the Piano solo is the bad guy doing some mischief, while the accompaniment is the good guy looking for him.

I think you could have made the piano a bit louder and more noticeable in its solo. Also i wouldn't have done the last doublekick.

SecretMusician responds:

thanks for the feedback, i updated it :)

[Lonely Beach]

Man I wish I could play guitar so i could use it in my music.

I think the beach is only lonely up to 1:38 where you see the silhouette of another person. Then at 2:14 you can make out who it is. at 3:23 they see you too

[Recall Remnants of Adventure]

This made me hope that a videogame character i never met will survive this bossfight. In other words, it sounds a little like Undertale.
I especially like the strings and the slapbass. They sound very fake but i think that's part of what makes them fit so well.

I think it would be very cool if you made it into a proper loop too.

[Thunder]

Pretty nice. I like the dubsteppy sounds you had after the gunshot. They feel a bit like lightning or thunder so they fit with the theme of the tune. I think overall the piece would profit of some more dynamic range by which I mean some more chill and quieter parts. Also you could have tried to make the melody and accompaniment more distinct in the first half, maybe by moving the melody up and octave or layering it with different sounds.

Supermouk responds:

Glad you liked it, thanks for the tips!

[Collision]

Since the key is c sharp minor, let me guess, you play piano.

The growls and wubs sound very good but they feel a bit small. I am not that good at sound design but maybe some multi and compression and some reverb could help with that? Or saturation/distortion.

I like your use of white noise. All the elements contain it sound good and aren't too loud but skill noticeable.

SuperSoniker responds:

I'm still practicing sound design, especially for growls, I always try to make them better than previous songs like this. But also thank you very much for this comment, it lets me know what I can improve for the next one :)

[Dubstep Drop Example]

Impressive. I find it very hard to make synths like this, no idea how to do it.

[Skype Theme (Hairmilk Remix)]

I like the percussion a lot because it makes it feel a little more organic than the usual house music you'd find on NG. But I am not that big of a fan of the lead. You could have done a bit more development on the skype motif.

Hairmilked responds:

Fair, it could have been more on theme I think but I'm glad you like the drums!

[AIM - Lost Fundamentals]

The Melody is so bouncy! And I like the sound design of the lead too. Unfortunately the drum beat is a pretty repetitive in my eyes/ears.

[Sunrise [Lo-Fi Hip Hop]]

Hey I also have a song named sunrise.
