[Way Back Home (NGUAC 2024 Version)]

How am I supposed to win when there are songs like this lol

Great job - clean mixing, beautiful chords and lyrics, decent sound design and melodies

AveragePhoe responds:

Thank you so much!!! And I'm sure you're underselling yourself. We've all made it this far!

[glimmer]

This kind of music is where you really shine

[Double Down]

Hi! I saw your comment on my song and I was curious what your music sounds like :)

I'm not very "profficient" when it comes to riddim, but I'll try to give some feedback:
-The bass feels muddy sometimes. This is probably because you're playing multiple basses at a time. This is easily fixable using EQ though!
-Another thing about the bass, you usually want to really mono-ize it. A wider sound is great for leads, but can ruin a bass

And that's pretty much everything. I like the song, I'm just not good at explaining why lol

Linearity responds:

Thanks! I’ve been working on the mix for days now

[009 Sound System - Dreamscape (Upcoda Remix)]

I personally have no problem with mastering, but mixing is a different thing lmao

Anyways the song is really solid. Everything sounds really crisp! It's a bit repetitive, but honestly I don't care, I just like vibing to the track xd

upcoda responds:

I think that was my problem with remixing it, since it's a song used a lot in tutorials it's obviously repetitive.

Still, any comments are welcome, thanks! I know it's not a problem but I think it's a good idea that next time I choose a song with more melodic variations and that kind of stuff :D

[Skyless II]

The flute makes it so much better! I'm a big fan of combining electronic and acoustic music.

But I have one small bit of criticism - at 0:38, when the groove is established, it feels empty all of a sudden.

Still a great song though!

Preds responds:

thanks!! and thanks for the feedback, I decided to leave it like that for the listener to have a breather with just the crunchy bass before everything happens again and the extra sub is added :)
