[APA!]

Whoa the second half of this is intense!

[Jump On Tha' Beat! - Twin Resurrection]

This is really impressive!I only wish it was a bit longer!

[Valkyrie]

Makes me feel like I'm playing Megaman X. The "chorus" is my favourite part.

DanJohansen responds:

Thanks for listening! Yeah the chorus part is my fave as well :D

[Go 8bit crazy]

This has a lot of potential, I like how eclectic it is, like several different tracks stitched together. I'm also a big fan of the whole chiptune+breaks style (like old Sabrepulse). What I think is holding it back quite a bit is the overall mix and compression, it sounds very thin. Would be good to push the punchiness of the drums, and fill out the midrange a bit with maybe some pads or bass synths , and just boost the overall loudness with some compression. I think a lot of it could be a bit faster as well, but I do really like the different tempo changes.

Maffi responds:

Thank you! I'll keep your points in mind when I'll be working on future projects ^^

[Humanity]

Beautiful! Only wish it could have been a little longer!

[Circuit board empress]

This starts off really interesting because the rhythm feels really off kilter and I couldn't quite tell what was going on, but eventually as more elements come in, the groove all clicks into place. I don't know if that was intentional or not but I like it. I think it could have used more development as the song progresses, the beginning is so engaging but once that groove locks in it just lingers for a while. Still, nice piece overall, nice crunchy sound design.

[Vanillamoon]

Beautiful! Very slick production and really nice melodic progression, great sound design.

SynchroSpectre responds:

Yes thank you, 'consolidate playlist selection' was my favorite tool, used alongside vintage emulator synths. Once I gather all the grooves, it's slice and dice time and place those lil snippets to make fills and whatnots
