[THAT ANDY GUY Encounters the GHOST DATA]

That note progression tho, its holy! Y'all did great on this, especially with the drums and the structure of the song. The whole thing flows really nicely and thoroughly, it's a real trip. Y'all need to send me some of that cauldron water in the mail, it must be magical or somethin

ThatAndyGuy responds:

I drank it all already 😔

[After Five]

Yoooo, a fellow Maschine user!!
There's a lot to like about this track, but mostly, I like how simple you kept the drums so as to let everything else cover the track like butter on bread. It's a great deep house track and its something real nice to vibe to honestly. }

As for the mixing and mastering, uhh... Shoot, I just think there was some work to be done with EQ but otherwise, this track is wonderful.

Feynmar responds:

Thanks for the feedback! Going to try out Sonarworks or DSoniq on my headphones soon and see if it improves my EQing and mixing. (Of course more practice will also go a long way.) Maschine is pretty great in my opinion, though I wish it had better DAW integration. Especially with Reason it's a bit shitty, because there's no multitimbral VST support, so the only option is to export stems. But I still feel way more productive with Maschine than without it.

[(future garage) tell your lies]

This one real pleasant, its a head bobber. Especially like the pops, they're a really nice percussive accent to the silk that wraps this whole song up like fire to a phoenix. Makes me realize how good of an idea it was to get studio monitors.

Samuel-Mossa responds:

agreed, studio monitors have helped me so much.

[Cotton Brain]

Jeez, how you make something so raw yet soft at the same time? This track real nice and atmospheric and I don't understand how you did it honestly, it hits really well. Great stuff peepoo

LLAAPPSSEE responds:

I'm not totally sure. I 'spose however I'm feeling comes out in particular sound choices. Lots of subtle-ish use of distortion for that kinda stuffy feeling. This was made months after some bad life things. I was pretty checked out. All I can really remember is stress with the mix.

[I Believe in Monsters]

The synth chords and melodies hit stupid fuggin hard, jezuz

RoachBoarder responds:

thank you!!!!!

[Drum And Void]

That intro thoooooooo

HypercubeRecords responds:

Thanks!

[Seeking to Understand]

That intro crazy and it just gets crazier from there, it's epicgkekej. Specially at 1:50,holy crap dude. You went balls to the wall with this

ChordC responds:

Yeeaa, this probably the ‘craziest’ structured song that I’ve ever made! Well, the pure craziest would be my ‘best worst song’ that I uploaded on this site. Regardless, thank you for coming here, hope you enjoyed the song ;)

[School]

Mmmmm, that intro doh. Smoof like tamale lard, S-m-o-o-f. That beat too, it's simple but something you can really rock deep into. Then that ending be a real cooldown. Shihh, gotta love it, keep at it and stay outta school

Mel responds:

loved that

[Rise]

Gotta love that triangle, or spoon (I forget) in the background. Also love how clean those drums are even with everything that's going on over them. Whole thing is well mixed and mastered.

8-bitheroes responds:

Thanks for the feedback!

[The Newgrounds Composer]

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Happy Pico Day! And thanks for the encouraging words <3
