Thanks!

[endK - BattleChipZ]

This is just outright impressive, the song, the mix is all great. Really fun song! Lots going on and catchy. Only thing that i would say i don't like would be the sound of the background pad piano chords. They sound too muddy and reverbed to me but that's just a personal opinion and really minor. It doesn't detract from the song at all, i still really liked listening to this. Good work!

endKmusic responds:

Thanks man!
I'll try to sharpen them up next time when I use them. :>
Glad you enjoyed it. :)

[Grim Tales]

Well done! This is a cool piece. Its very cinematic i can definitely hear the Cartoon Disney influence or Danny Elfman like the other reviewer mentioned. Those are also some of the best sounding Symphonic samples i've heard. The ones i have are garbage lol.

Keep up the good work man!

[Viking March]

Great! This is good, hopefully you're able to finish it one day. Only thing i would say regarding the mix is the low background strings sound kind of buried and squished at around the 20sec mark until the 40sec when they build fully. I would suggest turning them up a bit more for prominence or leave em out entirely until the full crescendo at 40sec. Though please don't think I'm trying to speak from a place of authority because i honestly have no idea what i'm talking about. This is a good song! Really epic

AceMantra responds:

Hey, thanks for the review! I hope I can finish it soon too.
I'll definitely take your suggestions into consideration. I thought the strings were a little on the quiet side too. :)

[Toxic Tower]

Cool song, i like the washy synth sounds and bass. It all builds pretty nicely too. I feel the drums sound kind of flattened and damp. It'd be awesome to hear them brought out a bit more in my opinion. The main riff kind of over stays its welcome a bit too it'd be nice to have some sort of switch up or break down to refresh the ear pallet if that makes sense lol

Desmae responds:

Thanks for the advice.

[Feeling You]

Awesome work! Sounds great

5TanLey responds:

thanks :)

[Hyear, dius MARIA]

Beautiful, this is such a different style of music then i normally listen to but its a refreshing sound that i do enjoy. It draws upon my imagination, where i can picture myself swimming underneath the waves of the ocean or being lifted by angels to the great divine. Especially at 1:40 onward, the vocal harmony works really well as the whole song burst into life.

I can't really piece any real criticism as far as the ears I'm working with are concerned, other than it sounds like it gets kind of loud at the end of the song near 1:40. Also, i agree with the other the reviewers who mentioned the small amount of shakiness in the vocals in the beginning. It's not really even a strong criticism because i don't think it deteriorates from the rest of the song at all. Overall this is really a lovely hymn, i like it a lot

[Boss Wider - Chill]

I liked it, good style. Reminds me of a toy box in a way, just the different amount of synths and sounds that pop up.

[Clarity]

Top notch atmosphere, nice song to drift away in
