[Logic Gate]

0:00 It starts quite slow but getting there I suppose!
0:25 The bass here is taking up quite a few frequencies. It's quite all-encompassing. Perhaps you could choose a sound that is less massive? Or just turning it down a bit? Not sure
1:06 I do like the sounds here though! Quite interesting scales, mending together of diff melodies. That part is great.
1:24 Nice contemplative ending. The bass is quite all-encompassing, though! Might need some EQ'ing to make it less annihilating XD

Overall great song! I like its playfulness, the interesting things you are doing with scale, and the original groove. Keep creating! You're great :)

RetroCore responds:

Thanks for you feedback! :D

[EverythingYouWish - Envy]

0:00 Ooh some pitch bend? Interesting... not sure what it's going for yet
0:15 There's some dissonance here, still kind of unsure what's happening
0:30 Okay the melodies and chords are sort of at dissonance here, I don't think they cohere very well
0:50 I feel like there needs to be some understanding of scales going on here, otherwise if you already know, and are breaking the rules on purpose, I feel like there needs to be a greater sense of melody and harmony.
1:27 I feel like I can skip ahead
2:36 Sheesh, more of the same!
Skipped to 3:30 Oh, I really think there needs to be more harmony here. Something seems out of key.
Skipped to 4:09 It's less obvious when the bass isn't happening underneath. Wow, it finished.

I think that even though I could see what you were trying to go for here, there is a lot of dissonance that isn't quite working in favour of the track, at least to my ears. I'm not sure if you are quite well-versed in chord theory or not, but I think it would be good to learn which notes go well with others. So that it can sound harmonious rather than in dissonance all the time. Don't get me wrong, a bit of dissonance is good, but only when it seems intentional.

So I do think that studying chord theory or looking up a YouTube video on scales would do some good. Keep it up!

EverythingYouWish responds:

Thank you for the building feedback, I will try to look more into the chords and learn from it.
I understand your opinion and I will consider it next time.

Honestly, some other guy would just write: trash song.

[Gangsta 4 Lyfe (DART REMIX)]

made in 3 hours huh? let's see how it goes
0:13 ooh i like that bells riff
0:20 i thought it was going to drop into half time here but i was mistaken
0:30 building up nicely with the risers! very cool
0:38 ooh the groove here is real! i should probably listen to the original
0:49 this one bops pretty hard. i like the refusal to go into halftime
1:00 mixed really well! everything in its right place, as the head of radios might have said once upon an a+ kid
1:25 nice breakdown. i think maybe could use a bit more layers here
1:36 ooh this is a different riff altogether! nice progression.
2:08 i like the riff

this is riff-tastic! the beat itself is funkaaaay. i haven't heard the original but i think this stands alone as a great piece. some parts i felt could use more exciting experimentation but given this was made in approx 3 hours you are right, it is pretty good! i think it could be experimented on even more. this is extremely solid though!

Dart-Music responds:

Whoa, thats some pretty good advice! Thanks!

[dylbsure - speedy beat]

0:00 Ooh i like the brass, they're doing brassy things
0:10 drum and bass coming through. nicely mixed
0:18 this is pretty well composed! generally nice stuff
0:25 wow you're taking me on a ride, i'm feeling it
0:32 those snares be poppin
0:38 that subtle bass in the background
0:43 arps be going upwards. where are they going? spaceward. that's for sure
1:11 sounds dubby somehow
1:17 interesting synth punctuation
1:25 you got that riff returning. noice
1:52 that bass be thicccccc yo
2:27 arps back here
3:03 nice!

i like this song! it's a good song. thick bass, nice riffs, the drum loop is basic and hearkens back to tradition. i wish it progressed a bit more, would have liked to see more automation clips and different stuff here and there but overall not too bad! i would say to just make it weirder and more wild in general but as it is it's actually quite decent. i like.

Dylbsure responds:

thanks man

[The Spins]

Rorrapalooza responds:

Hey, thanks a million, my doge! I'll keep you posted on that track I snagged from you, working on a Libby Shimmz track as well, much fun to be had!

[Tv Screens (Rough)]

WOOOOOO sounds so good mayne. I'd love to get the vocal stem for this to remix it somehow. This is one of my lazzzy beats but I'd love to see what i can make around that vocal.

big ups for using this lazy beat!!! you're the MAN. keep doing what you do. both rapping and instrumental-wise
