[Still Blastin']

Dude.

This track just made me orgasm.

8-bit DnB Retro? Genius. This is the kind of track that gets sold.

[==(Mindmangler)==]

Interesting.

I liked it up till 1:40, then I started lovin' it.

2:17; that synth is beautiful.

Interesting piece, GJ.

[Looking like that - Champ Rmx]

He's following me...

All I hear is Pachelbel.

[Zelda : Midna's Lament Remix]

Very nice.

The only issue I have is with the mastering. It sounds very cluttered to me and the bass is drowning out all your higher frequencies, ruining the melodic sense to this piece. Other than that, it's masterfully done. The composition sounds solid, just work on the quality. :]

[FF5-gilgamesh reborn]

I liked it, for the most part.

1:23 -> 1:36 is the part I really had a problem with. The build up was amazing, and then you made it so mediocre and so "ghetto" sounding. Somewhat hiphop, but you correct it by going into the more VG style and more synth sounding, but you the sound gets really amateur as you fall back on that sloppy beat again.

This happens a few times, I'm sure you know where. I LOVED the intro and the buildup before 1:23, and I loved the little part after 1:36, and then the part after the bridge that goes back to the roots. Some parts sounded really professional, some parts didn't, and then you kind of just stretched it and mixed it poorly, but then you get the parts like 4:16 and onwards which sound great. You have some crazy conflicts.

I know you have it in you to perfect this remix, there are multiple parts that are prime examples. The intro up to 1:23 is amazing, 1:36 to 1:50 is nice but could use a little touchup near the last couple seconds of that movement. I didn't really think anything up until 4:16 when you get really into it and bring back the roots, and that goes really well all the way up until 4:40. You can see the two different styles collide. 4:53 -> End was alright, but I know you could do better.

I could add a lot more, but I've already listened to the song twice and tried to point out as much as I could as it came up. If you want any other tips or suggestions or more in depth stuff you can PM me and I can try to help, I'd love to see an improved version of this. (Even though you said it was the final one. =P)

[Electrohouse Collection Full]

Nice.

This song was pretty cool, it was upbeat and kind made you float with the dance style.

Again, I'd say more if I could, but I actually like this song more than the last one. I have no problems with it.

SHWEET. I really appreciate it.

[We Are Lost (full Vocals)]

Not bad.

For the length, you did a pretty good job. Right around 4:55 is where I started to like it more. Obviously, for 8 minutes, it does get somewhat repetitive, but I was talking to you and stuff for most of it so I didn't really notice. The vocals are a good touch.

I personally could have enjoyed more fluid sounds, a more flowing motion, but that's just me. It's not my particular genre strong point right now, but I think you did a fine job on it.

I'd over more insight if I could, but there's not much you can change. =P

Thanks, I should make more, cleaner stuff with more experience.

[[tC] - Batman [Remix]]

Easing.

Very mellow, I like the style. The drums aren't very hard, the atmosphere is simple but clean, nothing clutters or upsets the mood.

The only issue I have is when it gets to around 1:22, it's repetitive. A few more instruments, more synths maybe, even more atmosphere?! :D

This song is going to turn out great, I know it will. :]

[Poke'Mon Trainer battle]

Pretty good.

The mastering could be better, the mid-high tones sound kind of drowned out, giving it a muffled sound.

The piece itself is really well done, but I also feel like you're missing a few things. Near the beginning there were definitely a few parts that seemed like it was missing notes, and it may be just because you wanted to stay a little original, but those notes are leaving a auditory gap in the piece.

I also heard some lapping problems, very subtle from the beginning to :14, and the jump from :13-:14ish sounds like it's got a meshing problem, jumping the gun a little.

Maybe it's just me, I'm not sure, but that's what I heard. Overall good song though.

[Reasoner- Dear World]

Amazing.

I'm too jealous. I can only hope to make something as beautiful as this one day.

I have no words, it's just splendid. Amazing job well done.
