[one80 & radon - Binary]

Really clean!!
The bass kinda gets overshadowed in the mix in the first drop
I think it might have worked better with a different bassline instead of the slap bass in that first drop
Other than that this is banger
Nice job guys 👍

MU53 responds:

Tbh, the bass was more of a background element than a primary part of the song, so that’s why it mightve been overshadowed in the second part of the first drop. But still, fair points all around.
Thanks for the review :D

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA typa song!
I like the bit where its segmented but when the amen break happens inbetween in those parts where everything stops, its kinda there but not if you know what i mean, could be brought out more
Also this song doesnt seem to have a melody, or a chord progression, they would be nice to have maybe
Very cool otherwise!
Very intense
I like when it pitches down
I'd just LOVE to see more done with this idea, maybe with a melody or different chords, as I said earlier.

MU53 responds:

This was supposed to be a short little thing, rather than a full blown song (hence the length being only about 1.5 minutes). If you want me to, I MIGHT be able to fully extend it. Just lemme know.

Also, the idea of this being very minimal is very intentional, hence why there’s only one chord and no melody the whole time (if I’m being honest, these types of songs are very conditional for whether or not melodies work with it. as such, idk if this one will work with a melody. I can definitely try to change the chord progressions around though)

Also, the break has an ungodly amount of distortion on it, so idk if bringing up the volume would work. Supposed to be more of a backing track than a main piece of it anyways (at least for the first break section).

T h a n k s for the review, but yeah. This was just a project made for the funnies. Nothing else to it. :)

[BeepBox-Song 83]

The intro is a lil messed up key wise, same with 1:16

but i really like 0:38 ngl

In fact the messed up key gives it a really interesting vibe which i like!

DoTeRqwe responds:

yea its messed up on purpose :d
i thought it sounded funny, weird wise
thank you for your comment :D

[Petra's Glory]

Doo, dudo do doo doo dudu Doo, dudo do doo doo dudu Doo, dudo do doo doo dudu Doo, dudo do doo doo dudu

I like the new part (2:46) and the key change following

Cool choice of instruments ngl (<-- jealous) (only has soundtrap instruments) especially the melody instrument at 1:04 idk it hits different

The bass melody is awesome, its like this one bit in It Go from ADOFAI (Doo, dudo do doo doo dudu)

Very smooth, nice one!

MU53 responds:

Yeah the part at 2:46 was basically me tapping into my background and my sessions of listening to Arabic music to make a somewhat faithful instrumentation

Thanks for the compliments on the choice of instruments (Yeah soundtrap's a bitch with their instruments, I know). Funny thing (sound design insight), 1:04's instrument was three things (An oud sample layered over a sitar and a square wave from 3x osc)

Never listened to It Go (or anything from ADOFAI lmao). I'll listen to it eventually.

Thanks for the review :D
