[Ode to the Water Goddess]

What did you use? It sounds crystal clear :)

Ultraconsole responds:

I just whipped this up in FL studio!
If you know how to mess with the settings, and know what plugins to use, you can make some really impressive sounding stuff with it.
Though I did just buy a sick Lyre online! (Hand harp thing that Sheik uses)
I figure if I can play piano, I can play a Lyre haha

[Brother]

The beat is pretty chill. I like it. The bassline though, eh i don't like the sound of it. I would maybe choose something more different like a subbass. Also the cymbals are a little too high.

[Luminatus]

The melodies seem kind of random but this is still good overall. Btw, nexus or no?

Rdwilson responds:

Yes I used Nexus I love using it so much

[Digitally Derezzed]

Drums don't mix very well with the song but eh it works. Also a little bit too much reverb on that snare.

[Monodisc - Waiting]

How are you able to have this much ambience without making it so muddy? I( have the hardest time with that and yet i don't hear any mud (could be my headphones though).

tijnn responds:

There's no magic button to doing that... It comes with experience. Keep making music, and you will discover a lot of new things along the way :)

[Frozen Sunlight]

Will you ever show the long version? I like this :3

[Sink or Swim]

Crystal clear quality song right here :D

5 stars here and singing is VERY good.

[Tight Pants INC.]

Same i hate it when i have to shorten my names. Very dancy track though i could turn down the reverb and echo a bit since i hear alot of muddiness. Good song though. Geussing you use fl studio?

Downwierd responds:

Thanks for the feedback. Yeah I do use FL studio as a matter of fact. I guess i did go a little crazy on the reverb on this track, especially on the snare drum, I kinda wanted to get a swooshing effect to it. Glad you liked the song anyway, cheers!

[Laser Bullets Everywhere!]

Garageband am i hearing? O:
Or did you use logic?

Pretty decent mastering you have there though mostly because you don't have much going on. The bass could be slightly turned down though since im hearing most of it in the right channel (which i don't know why). You could of maybe added a slight echo to the lead but that is just my opinion. Good job in general :)

spoonybrad responds:

Good ear! It is indeed Garageband. I've got a copy of Logic, but haven't found the time to learn it yet.

Thanks a lot for the critique! I'll definitely take it into consideration if/when I do another pass on this track.

[Scarlet Devil]

What program did you use or were you able to actually record this because this is beautiful :)

5 stars for this one.

TrueWolf123 responds:

Actually this was initially made in a program called "Synthesia" before me and my friend said, "To heck with it, let's try it out for real!"

Let me tell you, hand-playing this was a piece of work. So I was a bit of an a-hole and let my friend play the harder part. :D

Thanks for the review!
