[XVIII - The Moon]

Beautiful and unique! Looking at the waveform I was not prepared for what came in at 1:46 It really took me by surprise in a good way.

Fantastic work.

[World Building Song]

Closed my eyes and for a sec thought I was playing SimCity 4 or something but idk.

Not a big fan of the melody for the sax. But everything else was pretty awesome.

[Frank Pole & Teo Mandrelli - Sick I Guess (Halfdemure Remix)]

Mastering seems fine to me. dynamics are important, everything is clear, and chorus sections are punchy, so mission accomplished as far as I am concerned.

Your remix is creative and entertaining, good job!

One thing I have noticed in some of your music is your endings are clipped, try and make sure the tail fades out fully or automate your master to 0 at the end so it's not so abrupt.

CrowdDoll responds:

thanks I just put the wav into a daw just to convert it to mp3 but I'll take that as a lesson.

[The Only Way ( Synthwave )[Synth Way Album]]

The repetition of the arpeggio throughout the mix detracts from the song imo. Something to switch things up on just that front would help a lot. That said I do not think it is bad at all. Not the biggest fan of the dry saw at the end tho, I assume that ties it into the next track?

CrowdDoll responds:

thanks, the reason i created this so I can get a Official Music badge on YT but thanks for the critique nonetheless

[Secret Santa [Chiptune × Trap]]

Nice, that bass is good lol, shook my headphones.

CrowdDoll responds:

damn thanks
check out the remix i just uploaded, let me know what you think.

[Bonk]

Awesome! I will say though the beginning is mixed a bit too dark imo. But it's a fantastic piece overall!

Ackee39 responds:

Wow, thanks!! :D

[HalfDemure - What if Dreams]

Really awesome debut song! Disappointing this got slept on...
I haven't heard the original song tho

CrowdDoll responds:

this thing sucks ass especially mixing. I still dont know that stereo exist yet. Check out my later releases.

[Rebound]

It's nice, melody is catchy, and it has a good energy. The thing really letting you down is the melody never changes. Keep what you have here as the chorus and work its motifs into the opening buildup and the breakdown.

Dracoflame responds:

This track definitely doesn't deserve the attention it got, imo! 😂
It's really catchy, I've heard that much. But now that I look back at it, the mix is really poor, the same synths and saws play the entire time, and the track itself is way too repetitive.
I'm really getting better, though! I'll have something new out on Monday. Can't wait for you to hear it! 💗

[߈ߍߛ߱ߋߙ߁ߓߖߨߤ߮I]

Very interesting development however a few slightly too loud high Hz frequencies harm the experience. I love the whispering, and 1:08 through to 1:22 is just so cool.

[PRGX - 2013]

Pretty sick track, I think it's a bit overcompressed tho. Composition is a 10/10 fo sho tho, super entertaining.
