[I'm Hungry]

*Me thinks I'll dip into new submissions and see whats on offer*

Hmmmmm, aight. I can dig it.
00:00 - 00:56, this is a nice intro, I like the retro vibe that is going on and the drums and mixed very very well. There is a tiny teeny bit of flange being caused by the clashing 8 and low bit sounds but its no big deal.
00:56 - 01:16, this breakdown is cool. I think they kick could pack more punch but its cool. Theres a synth stabbing in the back thats a bit out of place, maybe its too loud in the mix but regardless its cool.
The rest of the tune just sort of repeats on whats happened, I think the song is pretty well made and produced but its quite repetitive, although it is very short so thats not a major issue.
4 outta 5 and a extra .5 for the loop working well :D

Nice one, keep it up!
4.5/5

moobella responds:

Thanks for the feedback :) I'll go change it now.

Yeah i didnt notice the kick wasnt there enough and if you're talking about the crappy "bass" synth thing i tried to make for the first time, it was a failure hehe :D
yeah it is repetitive. i'll try to not do that next time.

thanks~ ^^

[Three Reasons]

I'm bored so time to look through some new songs and review the odd one or two.

Ok, so the intro is solid. I like the slow build up, my kinda thing. It is a tad bit long and others might fault you for that, but I did long intros, so +1 from me on that.
The lead is nice but I kinda thing I've heard it before so just wondering if its a preset or you made it yourself? Regardless it fits nicely.
I personally think the drums are a bit too weak, especially the snare, it feels dull to me.

This track gets pretty repetitive, you gotta not be afraid to try out some key changes or straying outside the box a little bit.
Its cool you had a theme for this, a persons thought process, thats a nifty idea to make a tune around but I still think the entire song is a tad bit long.

All in all its cool man, bit more work on the mix end and mixing drums. Maybe make a few more snares because I still think thats a dull snare. But keep at it, interested to see how you improve on this!
Good Job!

GershBeats responds:

Thanks for the comprehensive review and compliments! Lol I think build-ups are part of my style, I'm not expecting people who doesn't appreciate some progressiveness to love my songs too much! xD

The lead is self-made, started from scratch with sytrus. In the end I layered a nexus preset on top of it just to give it a little depth and for some more portamento but its timbre is from scratch.

Admittedly I wasn't focusing too much on the drum presence (although I tried to do something interesting with the drum technique). The snare is a fruity loops preset (and all their presets suck) so it certainly could be changed for the better.

I'll probably do a little more work and distribute this again, we'll see!

[Frigid]

I dug this, its a cool track with a solid beat in it.
Could use a little bit of a better mix, and maybe another instrument to liven it up at parts, but asides that its cool.
4.5/5 :)

CANDYdisturber responds:

Thanks for the feedback! I've never been too good at mixing heh
