[Forget To Feel]

I assume the target audience of this piece is a 13-15 year old girl. Other than that, there's nothing technically wrong here i suppose.

[Aurora]

It's good that you have dynamics and a good sense of "calm before the storm", but the last "calm" seemed unnatural, I think you should of extended the climax that begins at 2:37 and extended it to the - 3:19 ish mark, cutting out that calm part that begins at 3:01. atleast most of it anyway.
I like it, but I feel it's a bit disorientating. I've never been a big fan of those weird dub step sounds so take this with some salt, but those wub effects sound like they're on top of the song instead of being a part of the song. Especially in the first part of the song. I hope this helps. My favorite part was the riffy part beginning at 2:10.

(P.S. I would tell you about what I thought about the mix but I don't have the proper equipment set up to be able to gauge that sort of thing critically, however I didn't notice any problems coming out of these dinky temporary speakers, so that's probably worth mentioning. gj overall. )

That is what I call feedback. Thanks so much

[Pestilence]

you can do better. add some Syncopation to the melody. also fix the tail end, it's pretty bad. Look in to a nice creepy pad that you can have droning in the background. Be more dynamic, for example add some high pitched bells, or play a piano on a higher octave with a slight detune effect.

Good luck.

DrunkGecko responds:

Ok ouo

[Sit and Observe (Unfinished)]

Potential.

Here is a deal. Create and complete a new song. If i think it is worthy i will scout you. Unlike many here, i value Creativity > completely polished.

Just hmu and/or remind me via pm. Thanks.

[Knife Blade]

Use Compression to make this louder
Side chain your bass
Learn automation clips
Use automation clips for your drops...
highpass filter is a good place to begin with automation clips
learn how to use an EQ
hmm...

Google these things if it sounds like gibberish, trust me.

Make it longer.

Good job for your first song, keep it up. I'll follow you and check your progress every now and then. 4 stars for u.

[Subspace Clash]

Very decent. If you need someone to throw a solo down I'd be honored to collab.

TSRBand responds:

Thank you, collab sounds fun! Would be great to get some sick leads in there instead of a breakdown for a change, will def keep your suggestion in mind for the future :)

[cattac - detention]

:) I like it, same style as before that I like.

[lance_victory]

Ugh, I like it.

A lot of changes, cool bass part.

The chip tune is so... off, but in the best way. I can't tell if it's just randomly put together or precisely placed the way it is for the effect you're apparently achieving. but the amelodic nature and robotic, almost... mentally ill. It's really intoxicating.

You have a spark for happy accidents me thinks... could be wrong. which means you're not completely off the hook, but I quite enjoyed this.

[cattac - defeat]

I liked the beginning quite a bit, I didn't mind the chip tune esque sound but I think you shoud not use so many notes as you approach the ending.

[Wasting my Time]

You're not wasting your time by writing songs.
You are the songs you write, and time is wasting you.
Others will define who you are based on what you do.
In fact, I have seen what you did, and I think it's catchy.
Take this 5-star rating for this song.
