[Ultra Zero (Remastered)]

not my genre, but FAR TOO LOUD

etK responds:

Is that a thing??
Joking, but yeah I also planned on reworking this one.

[The Ancient Core, Take It (Remastered)]

See them peaks. It's too loud. Volume does not equate dynamism.

You have a really good track, but no headroom leaves no space.

Love the 808, the glitch elements, chord and bass is great. redo your vocal cleaner.

you have a beautiful piece that just needs tempering. Im immensely impressed

etK responds:

Thanks a lot for the constructive criticism! I may rework on it indeed, I take the advice. And I'm glad you liked it overall!!

[Planet Escape (remastered)]

definitely not my bag. i'm just going to 5 and move on, sorry.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

lol I'd be worried if you liked everything. XD Thanks!

[Soft Starstorm]

certainly interesting

playing on discordant notes.

yea, its not for many but I hear the aim.

A better kit, some more expressive synths you have something.

Lucasberry responds:

its an old song dude. i didnt have an idea about creating songs :/

[Lunar Heretic (Remastered)]

Im all about dissonance. I really like this.

again your kit detracts.

This just needs proper post work, get them dynamics flowing

etK responds:

I'm trying to get better at all these mixing skills, it's tough!
Thanks for the review :D Glad you liked it anyway!

[Exo Pulse (Remastered)]

Not my genre. So won't comment on structure.

Drums are too fruity. Get to work on tone choice.

5 always

etK responds:

Not sure what you mean by too fruity? But thanks for the positive score! :D

[Shifting Path (Remastered)]

Kits too fruity son. Get a more natural kit and some verb on it.

For whatever reason, everything else is super low. Bring up everything, drop the kit. So many good tones, a really good tune is hidden behind a low mix. Tones are fine, it's just volume. Change the kit, bring the rest up. I personally love the vocal but the lack of clarity will frustrate others.

etK responds:

Again, not sure what you mean by fruity, but thanks for the constructive criticism! I'l definitely rework on the volume, but I feel like drums are easily hidden by the rest if I lower their volume :/
I'm glad you liked it anyway :)
Edit: I improved the mix and followed your advice!

[X Blaster Super Hawaiian Turbo Pants 3D (rough mix)]

hello c64!

not a big chiptune dude. I like it though. Can't offer much. it's chippy. Remove the modern touches, restrict to the chip.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Thanks. Believe it or not all the patches used on this are sampled from an atari (or so I'm told). Only other thing I did was add some stereo width I think.

[Akira (ableton test)]

oh i hear that,

i'd be slower, drawing that sample out.

it's well balanced if unexpressive, a tinkerer tinkers, maybe if you come back to this you do the proper work. I like the sample, i like the groove. i think you have something to build and play with. Stick in the groove, try glitch and reversed verbd chords.

JoeliusNG responds:

Sure, some added glitching sounds like a good shout. Thanks dude!

[Brain Stimulation (Remastered)]

ooooooooooooooooooo i like.

A very cool, early 90's. 89-91. dance indie mix. think 808 state, petshop boys, human league, very early goldie. you have something. For all the 'fruity' kit, you work a good mix with reverb, some well balanced eq and panning.

Knowing what you're using I am immensely impressed with the diversity of tone. i could hear some triggered vocals here and there. I wouldn't add more tone. What you have is great .

etK responds:

Oh thank you very much!! I'm very glad you liked it, and thanks for the constructive review!! <3
