[Casporb - We Don't Come In Peace]

Please just consider turning down the volume of everything?

Casporb responds:

Just turn your volume down for god's sake! Why don't you even show your score?!

[KooL]

Dayum! Feels a bit empty and slow to me but those drums are really nice. All sounds play together nicely too.

JManDJGMD responds:

Thank you for the feedback! I agree, it is a little empty. I will work to improve on that in the future!

[FeverDream]

Is that the GeneralUser soundfont I hear? :P Also an interesting melody, it feels like it could be used in some kind of game.

PookTV responds:

yep it's the default midi, exported it with the reverb function enabled at that's it

[-Unwelcome Stomper-]

That's a lot of audible clipping... A tip to reduce it is to do gain staging by turning down every volume knob and gradually turning them up again to an appropriate level for each instrument. I usually start with the kick and snare. Another tip is to EQ out unimportant frequencies from your instruments to give room for other instruments.

Okey... well clipping is a kind of distorted noise that occurs when sounds go above 0db and loses part of it's signal. This is especially noticeable after 1:41 in your song but can also be heard when the heavy kicks and snares play throughout the song. You can tell it's gone above 0db if the orange doesn't fit in the visualization.

Casporb responds:

I really can't understand stuff like that... Sorry.
Also, where does that happen?

Edit: Oh, at that bit it's intentional.
Another Edit: Looking back, in 2023, I agree with you. I can't believe how shit I was back then.

[Lightspeed6 - Last Stand]

Song feels a little dry, only a little bit, but nice use of bitcrush. It was a good listen :)

Lightspeed6 responds:

Thanks! Glad you liked it!

[[NG Exclusive] X3ll3n - Last Minute]

I think a snare would've sounded better than a snap. Still, I love it. The chorus is so catchy too.

X3LL3N responds:

Thanks

[Never Gonna Give You Up Remix]

The synth and piano are pretty good. Drums are meh. Overall I like it.

StDani responds:

Thx for your rating I fixed the drums! I hope it will be better

[Another World]

Could've been a bit quieter imo coz I hear a bit of clipping here and there, but the song is nice.
It does sound better now :D

TheNGVirus responds:

Took care of the clipping, hopefully it sounds better now <3

[Hat in the Snow]

This is... actually beautiful!

NikoMakesMusic responds:

Thank you! :)

[Hate Everybody]

Melody becomes pretty repetitive but the song is not bad.

TheMusicWarrior responds:

Repetitive melody is the experience property of melodic-trance.
