[Frostii - Dub 'N' Bass]

using FL's default drum shots are something you might want to avoid, they just don't sound good in any song especially since those default ones are meant for a club song
those choirs do not mix that well with the vibe and are kinda overpowering everything
trance pads in a DnB song... that's a little unfitting
if you're trying DnB i would suggest making a reese bassline then add a beat to it and go from there
pads in a DnB song are usually dark and low not upbeat and high
and ive never really heard a choir that actually worked in a DnB song
sorry for the harsh words m8
just my ideas ;p

Spurta responds:

>not using fl
Also, it is a single voice, its meant to be louder than the rest.

[I Can't Take One Breath (vocal)]

intro bells are pretty damn good
always compress vocals
also hooray for vocals!
drums could use a little boost
i'm really loving all those 8bit style sounds you got going on
those stacks near the end are awesome
i really hope you put out the final version soon, its sounding really well
keep it up! ^_^

[Frostii - A Quick Break]

drum and bass with a side of acid techno
rare to hear that
intro was a bit weird
drums kinda made me want to mute them in the intro
drums in the chorus are just weird sounding in general, sounds like a crappy bandpass that didn't pass was on them, that snare would be much better in an ambient song as its much to weak for a dnb song
bass wob was pretty good
melodic bells near the end really did not fit that well

Spurta responds:

If you look at the tags...
"crap"

[Ambient Horror Loops pack2]

i quite like the names of the songs for starters, fits quite well to an imagination of what the scene would be like following the music
i like how you're incorporating your own idea of horror music
1| Someone is out there: the weird alien ambient fly by's, the weird detuned bells, damn dude i'm not even this creative with my own ambient music
2| Isolation: out of them all i have to say 'isolation' is my favorite, that sub acid bassline, the creepy melody that follows
3| coming after us: the up and down melody was quite interesting, didn't expect something like that to be in a song like this
4| moment of peace: it makes me feel like i'm in something like a dark forest that belongs in Undertale which is actually pretty damn great
5| Don't break silence: holy hell i'm loving this one, so large scale of imagination, the open feeling, the darkness of this song is just so damn good, i particularly like the weird ''saw'' sounds
6| Last words: the vibes in this song really kick in on this one, makes me feel like im chilling with that ghost from Undertale
i really enjoyed all of these songs, you incorporated your own ideas of ambient horror instead of making it sound generic like most manage to get
it was completely different from any horror theme i've ever heard and it was damn near great
every song just has this vibe to it that really helps set the mood
this actually makes me want to go play undertale lol
damn dude keep this up because its fucking golden
keep it up ^_^

DjGubkafish responds:

Thx man I appreciate it .

[Broken]

don't know why you needed to state twice that you were writing poems, some famous musicians write poems and it might turn into a song
well for starters the bells are quite nice, good amount of reverb there too
melodies in this are pretty upbeat and nice
this does not seem that fitting for someone who lost his only friend, in my opinion though
well all and all this song isn't that much sad as it is happy and upbeat
its still a good song none the less
keep it up m8 ^_^

[There Will Come]

as for the intro its actually pretty good at drawing attention
the transition into that bass is very awesome!
i wasn't expecting that hard of bass
you seem to do quite well with 8bit arps, much better then professional sound designers that i have heard at least.
the chorus of this song is awesome, everything fits together quite well
bells are nice too, perfect amount of volume and reverb
that one chip near the end sounds like a cellphone lol

all in all this song was pretty amazing
i enjoyed pretty much every part of it
keep it up! ^_^

[There Will Come (demo)]

well this is actually pretty cool, i like the intro synth, those chip sounds are amazing, drums fit pretty damn well
you are not really limited by a computer keyboard, that's all i have too and i still manage to make it work, but if you have a way to make midi then you should just do that
anyway
this song has some pretty flawless transitions, drums are perfect, chips and what not sound pretty damn great, i just wish they were put in more, this song like i said, its great
keep it up ^ _ ^

SynthGoddess responds:

Thank you thank you thank youuuu!

You're right, I shouldn't be too limited with just a computer keyboard. You can still make things happen with it, I guess. :) Thanks for such nice words~! You're the best

[-Geometrical Dominator-]

dude....................
fucking awesome

[Dad, please put a shirt on]

well it is good and some of the notes are in key it's just it could use a better rhythm to it as some of the notes have a note 0.5 seconds after one was already hit, so it kinda throws the melody off a bit
other then that it was pretty good

[Entropy]

hey at least this one is longer, melody seems pretty good, notes work with each other, its in key
i like this one, i feel as if its one of your better ones
nice job m8
