[Bad Cat [Master Version]]

Jammin

This song kept me jammin all morning.
Keep up the good work!

[Chaz and Jade : Emotions]

Microphone quality killed the Vocals

This song would be so much better if it weren't for the fact that the lead vocalist is recorded on a very colored microphone. Her voice loses all the lower frequencies, and sounds as if she were recording on an old Shure 55. My Advice: Try using an SM58 instead of whatever mic it is your using. And take the FX off the lead vocalist, it takes away from the power of her voice.

[xKore - bleepbloop]

A more elegant song for more civilised times...

Very good! It's got a simple beat, good progression, and a recurring theme! The only thing that keeps it from being a 10/10 is its length. I'd like to see it a little longer, as the length of the track limits its use.

[Solaris [with lazers]]

Doesn't clash right

For some reason, the arcade-style synth, the guitar, and the drums, don't quite mesh and the entire track sounds very confused. Whats more, the Synth and the Guitar seem to be competing for your attention in the song.
My Advice: keep the guitar as a background instrument, have the synth lead.

MashedByMachines responds:

Well that is the point of this genre, i guess that if you are not used to it, it can seem confusing at times.

[Dream Glider (ACINO)]

Small improvements would make a big difference

Its a good song, but you could have started it a lot better. The song shows good progression, but the first few seconds are totally disconnected from the rest. Try making the whoosh sound a little longer, reaching further into the beginning.
Also, add a little bit more drums. A LITTLE bit more drums. as in a crash at your transitions from one segment of the song to the next.

ACINO responds:

Thanks for advices!:) And yes youre right:D It would be simple to edit it but im too lazy to post again:D But i will do that in future:) thanks:)

[DJ YouKraine - Dust]

Catches you at the beginning, and holds on

Well done loop that shows a lot of potential for inclusion in a larger piece. Keep it up!

You-Kraine responds:

thanks!

[War is upon us]

Your A Guitarist, aren't you?

Another classic example of good works that need mastering. If you increase the levels of the lower frequencies, and get rid of that terrible hammer clang, it would improve the quality of the piece greatly. Also, the entire song sounds hollow, as if its missing the entirety of the bottom frequencies.

[|ZiNiTY| magical wonderland.]

Good, but can get better.

This song is well-done, however, increase the levels on your drum kits just a tad.
I like the simplicity of this song, and I'd like it even more if the drums were washed out.

Zinitymusic responds:

okay! i will give it a try :)
