[Felix Zophar - Far From (with AlieN)]

Hey this is pretty chill, I like this. Great job to the both of you.

FelixZophar responds:

Thank you

[Sin City]

Very cool sound in the introduction. Like the other songs, it is unfortunately very repetitive despite sounding technically proficient. I shouldn't be able to skip nearly half the song and miss nothing. For this song I think less reverb at the end would sound better.

[Wolf's Spirit]

Great harmony. I am sensing a pattern though, your music is too repetitive, you made a powerful chorus but you are just repeating sections. You should also probably use a longer interlude as well, and try to avoid duplicating the intro, or at least change it up.

Your music is well suited for vocals, you should try adding some soft singing in. Also try to go for a longer length. you should be reaching at the absolute least 3:30 imo. Getting to, and exceeding that is easier if you aren't copying and pasting your song.

[My Soul]

Great sounding mix, I especially like the vocal sounds. I think they were too quiet at times and you could probably do with more with vocal sounds. Like @Naotyu said, it's definitely too repetitive.

[~ Crimson Reactor ~]

You got something going on here. Like @hamster4682 said, I think there is still room for improvement. It just feels like it is missing something, but it does stand up well as it is right now though.

MRM3 responds:

Possibly a sub?
I have re-listened to it, and I think it could use a bit more of a sub.
Thank you for the review!! :DD

[Space Meows]

There are a few chords that are causing some discord in the beginning. You definitely have what I would think of as a space theme so well done on that point. Personally, I'm not too big a fan of the thunder, as much as it is used at least.

As a whole I think the song is a little under developed. I'd love to take a look at it down the line, if you decide to spend more time on it.

[Speech Project]

The recording sounds pretty good. I can still pick up some background noise during your speaking but it isn't excessive. As for your speaking I would work a bit on your enunciation; There are a few words you seemed to fumble over, if only slightly.

I'm going to be diving a little on the subjective side now. You should speak up a bit, in most sections you are speaking quite softly, and in others it's almost whispering. There is also very little variance on your inflection, which leads to the speech almost sounding "monotone" in a way.

Edit: Sorry @Belthagor - "Thank you very much for the feedback! I was hoping for feedback on the content as well though. :/"

I am an audio guy and tried to keep focused on that aspect. I'm not a writer so I'm not sure I'd be able to provide adequate criticism on your speech. I'll give it a go,

First off, I agree with the subject matter, that child abuse is bad, I've experienced it, not as bad as others, however. I like the introductory paragraph, and your point with CEOs and submissiveness is interesting. After the intro it falls apart a bit for me.

After a certain point, yes children do in fact know what they are doing, just because they are still developing doesn't mean that they are automatically absolved of breaking the rules. I'm not sure why you mentioned death in that first sentence as well, seemed out of place.

Actually animals, specifically monkeys, have been observed abusing their young, so it's not just a human issue, although it could be localized to hominins. I believe abuse stems from mental issues, which itself can stem from abuse, and it's at least partially, not a conscious choice.

Everything past those initial sentences in your second paragraph really lose focus, and get a little confusing. The next sentence seems to me, to be asking abusers not to have children, which is fair enough I guess. Your next sentence, is about social advancement which doesn't seem to relate to child abuse. This part "...don't know how to think, so they're thinking about it, and making new things... unlike old things which no one thinks about..." is all over the place and very confusing.

The speech ends fine, but I'm mainly left confused and feeling like I didn't learn anything.

Solar-Eudorria responds:

Thank you very much for your feedback!

[Felix Zophar - Bounty]

I'm hearing some crackling in the beginning pretty bad. Otherwise it's really good!

FelixZophar responds:

I don’t know why it’s cracking so much. I have no idea on how to fix it. For some reason when they played this at my homecoming it didn’t crack at all.

[Sellia: On a Limb]

Nice! At some points I feel like the melody gets carried away a bit though.

[Sellia: Reachless]

I know it's supposed to be calm but it's disappointingly sparse compared to the other songs.
