[Darkness and Light]

This is fantastic work as always! You and Jordi really make magic together. Such a good team ^^

Only thing I can nitpick is that the piano feels like it could be wider in the mix and while Jordi's vocals are beautiful and perfect, I feel like some more processing or reverb could help it blend with the piano (sounds compact and dry, like a live performance). Just minor tweaks that are my opinion. This is still awesome <3

p.s. for those climactic moments, raising the piano gain a tad would have added some more intensity as well. Idk. Keep it up :3

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thank you!
It's always fun to work with Jordi, and we plan on doing much more together in the future :)

Maybe adding more reverb to the piano could make it sound wider, but the entire balance would probably need to be changed around since adding more reverb to the track made it muddier when I tried. I have other reverbs I could try to work with if I go back to the piece later :)

The piano could be raised a bit in velocity in the climactic parts if the vocals were made weaker. I like the current balance, but I'm sure it'd sound good with a different emphasis too!

Thanks for listening and for reviewing :3

[Affinity]

I forgot what your username was and had unfollowed you for the longest time ;-; forgive me

This is beautiful! The whining, somber strings give me chills <3

zybor responds:

No worry :3, people come and go as they please.

Thank you for your review! :)

[From Earth's Blackest Night EXTEND ver.]

I really like this! The synths are so dark and powerful, and the vocals are so well mixed. I like that there's an actual intention behind the music and lyrics.

The part at about 4 minutes in is a fantastic change up. Please make more music like this, it's an incredibly unique style ^^

Troisnyx responds:

I might do just that -- glad you enjoyed it so! ^_^

[T-Logic - Snow in L.A.]

Wow, really cute song with nice vocals :D

TaintedLogic responds:

Thanks so much, Logan! I still need to work on my vocals imo, but I certainly appreciate the unexpected review. ^_^

[T-Logic - Softscape]

I like the progression and structure, but the bass and more importantly, the drums feel a bit flat. Maybe add a multiband compressor to make the different parts stand out more.

TaintedLogic responds:

Thanks for the tip! I should really learn how to use MBCs properly. I agree that it's time I find some different bass instruments to use too. Cheers!

[A Summer's Dream]

Oh wow, this is incredible! Sometimes I forget that you play everything irl and I get impressed all over again. Not to mention your voice gets better with every song. Keep it up, and shoot for #1 in the NGADM this year! You can do it :D

etherealwinds responds:

I do enjoy working with instruments when I have access to the equipment that allows for a good enough recording experience :D thank you very much! I don't much mind where I come - just the push to make original music is always welcome.

[Momentum (Ft. Pr0tagonist)]

YEAH BOIIIIIIIIII

So good it fried ur compoots. Excellent work!

[Condensation]

Impressive track! I really enjoyed the energy in this piece. I feel like the percussion at 2:08 could have used a little love (sounds kinda plain), but other than that there isn't much I can pick at. Great job, and keep it up!

ColinMuir responds:

haha thank you, yeah i wanted the pad lead to be extenuated though, sometimes a drummer needs to match the song, and that's what i felt :)

[The Elvenking’s Prayer]

Oh wow, this is astonishing work Jordi! I think you definitely have a shot at first place this year if you keep this up :D Such incredible vocals <3

etherealwinds responds:

Thank you very much! You know, I only realised you'd changed your name the other week... I thought you were i0ta hahaha <3

[A Naïve Admirer]

I really do love the liveliness in this track, from the sudden changes in mood to the articulate dynamics from the instruments. A regular person probably would never think they were vsts. I think the cymbal crashes could have been a little more present in the mix, but that's just me. Great song!
