[Secular Prolapse]

Pretty cool groove and interesting use of the timpani because of the bingo. Could use a bit of variation (especially harmonically) in my opinion so you'd have a proper tune instead of a vamp. Still funky though!

[Entropic Skies - As This Realm Dies]

This is epic. Really like the post-apocalyptic/futuristic vibes and it's surprising that you managed to use most of the bingo chart elements while making them sound fitting to the track.

[The End is Year]

Pretty cool track! Really digging the intro and break with the muted parts. That and the rawness of the riffs reminds a bit of Buckethead.

VortexVisionz responds:

Thanks! Buckethead is definitely my biggest inspiration in all things I do

[Swingy]

Very nice little tune. Love the counterpoint between the instruments and how it just keeps going. Also nice modulation towards the middle, and I really liked the pad you used. My criticism would be that the volume is to low. Master it louder!

SI-7 responds:

Thanks! I've been noticing that since I got my new headphones, I've been mixing things too quietly.

[Un-scouted beginning]

Pretty cool use of rhythmic devices. The 5/4 sounds refreshing but also natural and not "forced". The harmony and flute melody took me back to old-school Zelda titles. I liked it!

[Fear As Though You've Never Feared]

Pretty cool track! You kept it interesting all the way through and I could mention plenty of elements I liked such as the change to the swing feel and the main riff which sounds like classic Guns n Roses but the intro with the panned guitars and bass phrases was my favorite part.

Now that you mention GNR, I can hear me subliminally being influenced by them. Been listening to them a little more than usual lately. Good ear. Glad you dug it my man! That intro was fun to make! Thanks brother.

[I Wish You Were A Bird]

Pretty cool tune! Nice combination of chip sounds with different textures and I also liked the use of the percussion/noise effects.

[Clear The Board (NGAPBC 2018)]

Congrats for ticking every bingo and making something cohesive! This must have been quite a challenge but I liked the result. The length different styles make it sound like a closing credits medley. I would try and master it louder and layer and/or compress the bass to make it sound bigger.

SplatterDash responds:

Yeah this definitely was a challenge to make lol. Glad you liked what came out of it!

The reason why it's kinda quiet is because I received some mastering advice during NGUAC to turn down the mix by about 6 dB - I still have yet to get the advanced ropes on mastering, especially with the limited mastering library of Ableton Lite, but I think I may know how to compress the bass next time to make the song sound bigger. Thank you for the advice :D

[Agente.001 - Starsprite]

Wow. Just... wow. I'm a fan.

[The Proud Orchestra of Many Origins]

I agree with what I've read below: get better samples ASAP. Seriously. Your music is great! And it will sound even better. The intro took me back to when I was playing Twilight Princess for the first time and the last couple of minutes sounded like a modern take on the Zelda sound.
