[Shotgun Sushi (WIP)]

I like the bounce to this one. That bassline is really hopping XD
I can hear why you named it what you did also. Great job!
The piano and the drums on the breakdown go hand in hand, at around 3min.

You said you are going to add some vocal samples in there, sounds like an interesting idea. I think I already hear some small vocal in there for a few secs, but i'd like you to let me know wjhat the vocals get put in.
Great trakc, great theme, great mastering.
5/5

TBM responds:

I was thinking about adding a friend of mine yelling "SHOTGUN SUSHI" (a bit of an inside joke) right before one of the drops. Thanks for the support mate, I appreciate it!

[~Delta~ Hexagon (WIP)]

Sounds good man. Nice crisp kicks and the sidechain is nice on the synth.
I love the piano in the breakdown but not layered with the synths, sounds too rough towards the end.
The simplicity of the drop, the club like kick and square wave synth is good. I wouldnt add too much to that afterwards, besides some loops, hats/ rim shots, just claps/snares maybe.

aliaspharow responds:

I have to disagree with you this time. My mastering isnt the best, but with a little work this could become a very clean track. I usually manage with allot more instruments then this. I like the style and im gonna stick to it. Check out the update if you havnt, maybe you'll like it better now... or maybe you just need a bigger sub lol

[P4 - Irregular Heartbeat]

Love it!
Complex and layered very well. Although I can recognize many of the samples, i don't mind so. Great job on the melody and variety. Great Track!
Not many people can pull off liquid very well. Great job man!

Preyfour responds:

Liquid is fun. Thank you, good sir!

[KKS - Shards of Innocence]

WOW!
Awesome track. I love every single detail. i can tell a lot of time/energy was spent on these tracks.
You are amamzing yo produce so much so fast, you'd think that the faster you upload the less the quality of the track. But you put much effort in each track and I hear it here.
Love the flute and then the "marching" drums that come in later. Make it sound so damn epic and you know makes a lot of emotion.
Good job!

KKSlider60 responds:

Million thanks, man :D It started with something silly, not even figuring out what I was gonna do... then, the right guitar opened my mind to this beautiful world I imagined. It's great when there's so much symbiosis between our mind and the fantastic realms we are able to craft. ^^

[Welcome to my world - PRE]

Needs to be at least 20 secs longer, I mean it sounds really nice for what it is, but I feel I can be more satisfied and leave a better review if it was longer...
Sounds nice and calm, and the drums are clean also, but really wish it was longer, even as a preview. From what i hear now, its pretty basic, maybe expand on the piano more, pads would be cool too. Also let the drums/loops get more complicated.

b4ttle responds:

I know. I made it 20 seconds longer, and I can uload some time. But currently the new version doesn't sound right, I'm trying to fix something.

Thanks so much, I will take your ideas and hopefully put them in. (I always love putting in others ideas. :p)

['''Blessed''' [EK]]

Haha, pretty nice remix
But it sounds weird with a strong sidechain on it. Also the the claps could use some layering. And the downsweep is too shirt.
But other than that, you can't really go wrong with this melody, its fantastic.
Good remix.

Ekojo responds:

Wow we uploaded a remix of Blessed on the same day. That's kind of awesome. You're right though, you can't go wrong with the melody. Personally I kinda like the strong side chain but I think it could use a bit less. I hate the claps. It was just a bad choice on my part heh. Thanks for your review :)

[Warp Me In]

Nice!
Sounds pretty good so far.
I would say to work on layering sounds, just like around 2 min with the bells and synths, try to play around with variety an layering in the 1st part also. Adding filter effects and stuff.

Keep up the good work =]

AntQ responds:

Thanks for the input.
Yeah I just found out where the filter effects are and how to apply them just yesterday, over a month from when I posted this song. Haha, looks like I'll be going back and reworking some of this

[avicii-ey (WIP)]

If you are using FL, in nexus, use Terminator Theme, he uses this as part of layered w other sounds to make his leads =]
Avicii is an awesome artist and a big influence on me also =]

[Qomplainerz - Delete]

I know you made a long intro for mixing purposes, but better to have a Radio Edit for NG.
Also there doesn't seem to be any real melody, just sounds like the intro part of a track before the breakdown into the REAL melody.
I like the samples and the mastering is pretty good too.
Overall
4/5.
