[Isalick34 - Ran Out of Building Materials]

THIS SLAPS
its like a haunted mansion stage in a puzzle game
actually awesome and probaby my new fave song of yours

actually bangin

(Note: most of your songs are using the same synths a lot so i'd love to see you try varying them a bit more (but this one isnt so bad with that aspect youve been CREATIVE))

Isalick33 responds:

lol actually the main lead synth is from LABS, I've been trying to use some different instruments

[X3ll3n - Eternal Dance (NGUAC 2024 Knockout Round)]

Not my cup if tea but I appreciate it
I also think the chipmunk sounding voices are a lil goofy

X3LL3N responds:

Not the chipmunks again D:

[What a Clowny Day]

The bass is actually stereo madness what

Very goofy and jolly

The synth in the right ear that comes in at 0:35 is too loud imo

1:11 slaps, I want more of that!!! I think the snare made it loads more interesting, like it was building up to something

Definitely good videogame bg music!

DaxCamdaxian responds:

I fixed the volumen now, thank you! :)

bro leaked my IP in a music

AnOblivion responds:

Pffff

[ƎƧUM]

I was a little bored during the intro but I stuck with it and I'm glad I did!
Goes really hard, especially since you've gotten really good at dramatic pauses and those are EVERYWHERE (MAN I LOVE DRAMATIC PAUSES)
One example of this I really like is how the melody stops with the snare on the second beat of every bar in the 1:36 part (MAN I LOVE DRAMATIC PAUSES)

I'm trying really hard to find something to critique but I know next to nothing ab mixing and its just too much of a bop to critique lmao

...well, maybe the ending is a bit empty actually, maybe some light percussion could help it out?
...and the intro goes on for a while with the same melody (I have the attention span of a goldfish)

9 outta 10!

nyrrr responds:

Yeahhhh......I suppose the intro is a test of one's patience. Should've accounted for that lmao

I had some fun with the dramatic pausing here and there, I must admit. Really set a groovy headbanging mood I suppose. Also, the end is supposed to be a little more empty than the rest of the song. But honestly, I think what I got works, but thanks for the feedback anyways. I'll definitely keep that in mind.

Thanks for the review :)

[Less is More (Cambio)]

I like this!
So mich cool noise, which blends well together
Sounds kinda like the Risk of Rain soundtrack kinda
Your use of pan is good and the echos going from ear to ear are really cool (is it mod delay? Not sure)
Makes me think of a rainy day on a snowy mountain
Love the creativity!

DaxCamdaxian responds:

Thanks for listening, I'm glad you liked it, the panning varies a bit, sometimes I use "automatic" delay and set it to make the jumps and other times I do it manually and I mix that with other delay virtual machines/pedals

You nailed the picture of the track, a rainy day in a snowy mountain 🏔️🌧️

Review:
Awesome.
The dramatic pauses, sick guitar, creepy atmosphere (especially with the spooky synth at 1:47 lol) are great together.
But the melody is the same the whole way through, so I would like a change at some point.
Nice

nyrrr responds:

Thanks for the review...

I was going for a more creepy and unsettling atmosphere, as well as something that was very chaotic in energy. I think writing this in D minor helped me achieve this, but also using a different riser sfx and experimenting with pattern cutting, and making some of the transitions emptier also helped if you ask me.

Also something funny, but there is very little guitar in the song. But rather, it's a synth with pretty heavy distortion placed on it to make it sound like a guitar. Only places where there actually is a guitar is from 1:25 - 1:35 and 1:46 to the end.
