[Felix Zophar - PIECES (ft. Holly Rene)]

I'm so so sorry to hear about your friend 😥

FelixZophar responds:

It’s alright

[Crying alien]

Nice! Gives me feelings of Fez almost, but way more soft and chill. For some reason I'm thinking of that flash game motherload, I think it's the bass synth. Really nice, lets off feelings of nostalgia for me. You should use a crash/ride or reverse that white sound (w/ vol changes ofc) on the other side to help it loop better imo.

RealMrSnuggles responds:

thanks for the feedback

[GTB - Reflejos (ft. Diego Quiles)]

Nice song! Unfortunately I don't speak spanish very well so I can't comment on the lyrics. I like the melody, it's uncommon and very enjoyable. I'm always more of an instrumental person so I like more complexity but with lyrics you pretty much can't go wrong. I like the pad you have going on in the chorus. The beginning and ending of the song are great!

I'd like to hear some stronger singing, maybe with a better mic (you can get a decent one for 100 or so) I also think I heard some peaking on the mic so be wary of that (better mic+stand back). Overall the master is alright, a lot of the highs are clipped which isn't good for rock, reduce your choke on them and it will sound muuuch better.

Dj-Gonzo responds:

Thanks for your review! The pad was actually a slightly vocoded recording from Diego's voice with a ton of reverb and filtering. About the mic, we did our best with our current material, I tried to avoid peaking on it with compression but, in order to avoid lowering the volume too much, some of the peaking still remains. We'll try our best on our next project together, thanks for checking this out :D

[Death Screen]

Love the intro, cool feel. Right off the bat is your kicks need turned down, if you want them to sound louder use compression and ducking. On a whole you could use some improvement on your mix/master.

As far as the arrangement I love it, super engaging and interesting, but still stays composed. The end made for a great switch up. The ending could use some work, it's fine, but you can do something more interesting for sure.

This is an interesting take on the genre. I like it! :)

[DXZX - INFINITE]

I'll scout you bro, this is pretty good. Bass drum is peaking, you might want to work on your mix. But yeah, solid track to rap over. I might personally switch things up a bit however as it *is* quite repetitive.

DXZX responds:

Thank you soo much ❤❤❤

[Ten]

Yeah this is a dope collection, great how each melody you made blended into the next. Despite it being a collection of diverse melodies it's fairly cohesive and enjoyable to listen to as if it's a single track. You have a lot of great sounding ideas, all of these would make a great song.

My fav is definitely melody 7 - so light and heady, inspiring!

I think I'm gonna have to try doing something like this. A lot of my ideas usually end up as single projects that are 30s long. Most of them dead :( but sometimes revived.

[Felix Zophar - Far From (with AlieN)]

Hey this is pretty chill, I like this. Great job to the both of you.

FelixZophar responds:

Thank you

[Sin City]

Very cool sound in the introduction. Like the other songs, it is unfortunately very repetitive despite sounding technically proficient. I shouldn't be able to skip nearly half the song and miss nothing. For this song I think less reverb at the end would sound better.

[Wolf's Spirit]

Great harmony. I am sensing a pattern though, your music is too repetitive, you made a powerful chorus but you are just repeating sections. You should also probably use a longer interlude as well, and try to avoid duplicating the intro, or at least change it up.

Your music is well suited for vocals, you should try adding some soft singing in. Also try to go for a longer length. you should be reaching at the absolute least 3:30 imo. Getting to, and exceeding that is easier if you aren't copying and pasting your song.
