[Track 34]

The intro was really spooky, haha. I think the wobbles kinda squashed the primary melody. They should have been lower down in the mix

[Nescada's Theme]

Yup, you've earned yourself another fan! I'm in love with these violi-

OH MY GOD IT GOT SUPER INTENSE!!!!

TAKE 5 STARS!!!! TAKE A MILLION STARSSSS ASD;LRJKHGBAFJA;DASLLKFEJ!!!!

This is actually really good stuff. Soon you could be up there with the greats :D

sleepFacingWest responds:

Thank you so much! Right now I'm scrounging pretty hard for work and find a lot of closed doors, so it's nice to get a little encouragement :)

[Blue Jay]

Really loving that melody :)

Not sure about the percussion, though XD

Felocai responds:

Yeah that song is all about melody, the drum is just really simple, but I thought it was good enough to keep it.
Thanks for reviewing!

[the stage]

I really enjoyed the chord progression, but the mixing does leave much to be desired. Keep up the good work! ^-^

[Where The Madness Lies]

Hmm, not sure about the percussion. There's a high pitched "tick" sound that is just obnoxious.

Other than that, I can't really complain about anything. 4.5/5; 9/10.

[The Abyss]

Oh man, I'm loving this track! The beat is pretty sick, and the melody fits nicely ^^

Felocai responds:

Thank you!

[He Is Near]

The intro was a bit confusing for me, but as soon as the lyrics came in, it became clear how the progression was structured.

A very chill song. Keep up the good work :)

SoulSecure responds:

I'm going to flat out admit that before I had listened to that keyboard riff a couple hundred times, the opening with no other instruments confused me as well and I almost didn't start it that way.

It's a real brain disruptor without any complimenting instruments. Even though I wrote it. >.>

Thanks for the review!

[A Hero Rises]

Oh man, this is a great track! The instruments blend together and fill the song nicely (something most of my songs lack, for some reason XD). A bit short, but other than that, 10/10 ^^

sleepFacingWest responds:

Thanks! It's a bit on the sort side as it's supposed to be a loop and can run as long as the person needs. Also, I wrote it as a demo. I realized I didn't have any heroic brass choir work in my portfolio and decided to write some just to prove to possible future collaborators and clients that I was capable. As far as the blending goes, compression and eq are your friend. Try to separate instruments by allowing them to sit in their own frequency space. Subtle manipulations often work nicely, and it's always better to cut than to boost. I've listened to your tracks and will write more about production in a review of one of your own songs.

Thanks for listening!
