[SSJ3 - Nuclear Fusion REDUX]

Awesome arrangement of Nuclear Fusion! Stays true to the original while also having its own character! You captured the intensity of this track perfectly, and I honestly don’t know if I could find any better arrangement of any Touhou track. Awesome work dude!

[F-777 - Ice Cream (Preview)]

Nice!

[F-777 - Star Gate]

Love this track so much Jesse! One of my favorites by you!

[F-777 & Xtrullor & Dj-Nate - Trinity. (Ft. TheFatRat)]

Perfect, love that growl at the end, 10/109

[F-777 - T-Rex]

Was pretty fun to listen to, well done :)

F-777 responds:

Awww thanks so much my bro :')

[The Chosen One - TAGPilot101YT]

The piano could have MUCH more reverb. The snare is a bit too loud and sounds too bright. That background pad could also be much quieter. The supersaws on first drop is WAY too loud. It hurts to listen to and there's so much clipping due to the poor mastering and mixing job, and it's a bummer because I'm sure it's a nice drop. Also the transitions after the drops are almost nonexistent. It makes it kinda confusing and abrupt. Try to avoid spam kicks unless it's a short amount of time on a buildup. Same goes for spam claps, as the claps go on too long on the buildup. The rhythms at the second drop are questionable and weird. The supersaws are even LOUDER here, and it really ruins it. It's WAY too loud. BE SURE TO PUT A LIMITER ON THE MASTER TO AVOID CLIPPING! Otherwise, you'll get that loud and annoying earrape sound. Overall, It's not bad, and I can definitely tell you put a lot of heart and effort into this. However, the mixing and mastering is very poorly done and makes it hard to listen to. Best of luck in your future tracks, and keep up the good work!

I understand all of that and I don't know wit u mean by clipping and ye the build ups r weird and long and I am practicing on those and that's for the reply but I expected no lower than 3 stars for this but it's fine constructive criticism and ye the drums are louder but I turned them down enough so it ain't to loud and I love this song so I found it almost perfect. Anyway thanks for reply!! :)

[Deltarune OST - The Field Of Hopes And Dreams Remix]

Not bad. Only two composition issue I have is the annoying drum pattern and the fact that the guitar solo isn't too well made. The rhythm is kinda weird in that guitar solo. Main issues are mixing. The piano gets way too loud at some areas, especially at 01:17 and 01:43. With the guitar solo, everything should get a bit quieter to make room for the guitar (which in the case of the solo, is the most important instrument). It's gonna be confusing to the listener when everything there is too loud. Everything sounds really muddy. You can hear how everything clashes together and doesn't work due to the poor mixing job at 00:30 and 2:08. Hats can be a bit quieter. Overall, it's not too bad but the mixing really ruins it.

[Get the Edgeguard!]

You definitely got good ideas in here! The first few seconds are pretty muddy. That piano part at 0:15 starts out awesome but it just repeats those 2 measures? There's some areas where the piano is too loud like 1:04. The lead's riffs are really cool, but the lead you used is a bit too thin, and some post processing on that could've definitely helped. The arp that comes in around 2:17 is kind of annoying, maybe making it a bit filtered would help? Also, the whole track is a bit repetitive. Overall, great ideas and definitely a fun track to listen to! Just needs quite a bit of work on the mixing.

Ah, I see what you're saying. Thanks for the feedback!

[[Speedcore] Every speedcore song ever]

Best thing I've ever listened to, solid 5/5.

Zelgeon responds:

Glad you enjoyed it! :DD

[Anime Opening / Video Game music]

Very nice! I love the melody and you nailed the J-rock-style theory! It of course needs more instrumentation to fill in the emptiness, but I'm sure you know that because after all it is a work in progress. Just question, which guitar did you use for the lead and rhythm, and which amps did you use?

KestutisK responds:

Thanks man, the guitar is from shreddage 2 and the amps is van51 in guitar rig
