[[RM] - Starry Sky]

See, now THIS

This is much better. The compression and ducking helps drive the bounce a lot better. The hats and clap sound much less plain, although the clap is drowned out almost completely by the kick at some points. I'd try to avoid that, or just remove the clap altogether once the kick starts pulsing your sound into the minds of thousands.

The melody is great. You did good here. It's extremely clean, crisp. Like diamonds in the sky, or something. STARS lol.

The melody drove this song to the top for sure.

Haha, thanks. xD

[[RM] - Starry Sky Loop]

Yummy

Very clean. I'm loving the crisp reverb.
Loops very well.

Only complaints here are the drums are very weak.
The hats sound very artificial and bare, the snare/clap can barely be heard once the kick comes in and also sounds very plain/bare, and the kick doesn't seem to punch through any of the sound, but is rather just there for the ride.. it's also very plain sounding... Do you know what I mean?

But your synths sound so good I'm sure you know what you're doing, so I'm thinking you got lazy and just threw those drums on to hurry and upload this!

I'd love you if you added some percussion with much more depth, and stacked different types of kicks and added some modest ducking around it.

I'm basing my rating off of two things here.
I'm giving you a 9/10 for the melody, and a 2/10 for the percussion.

I'm going to browse around your other stuff because based on this melody, I'm sure you can pull some good shit out of your ass, for lack of a better saying lol.

Randomizor responds:

Haha thanks for you honesty. xD

Your right I kinda just threw this together really fast.

[Sequent Phase]

Nice

I like the melody a lot.

I'd go a little easier on the kick, meaning not so often, know what I mean? Might sound a bit better just with a steady constant pulse.

I'd also try to make the snare punch through more if you can, it's fairly quiet.

Overall really cool. Keep working on it and let me know if you make any changes.

GothGecko responds:

thanks for the tips - normally I post a demo version of any song I write - but I forgot to add a {Demo} tag, Otherwise, this is still a practice.
I'll fix up the snare a little but because I do realize it's a bit faded out due to the buildup.
Thanks again ~ gecko
