[not a good loop]

Yeah, a lot of people will actually enjoy this, you gave the song a lot of awesome energy! It could even be an amazing start for a full song, tbh ;)

[Penta P. - I'm Raving (AshuraTH Remix)]

0:26 Too much panning!!! That's overdoing it a bit >.<

Hmm... The problems with the tracks are generally that you use sounds that together don't create a good harmony. Some of them feel too powerful compared to the others given the role they have in the song, e.g. they're too loud, or the lower frequencies are boosting their strength a bit too much. You create a bit of a chaotic mess, like in 1:46, where you see that all of those sounds alone are top notch, but they just aren't meant to be played together.

You also generally made the precussion too loud (the kicks are fine, maybe just tune down the volume a LITTLE bit). You make them the main focus, also because of my previous point.

3:06 not again...

That's all I have to say. Just work a bit with mixing everything together better, and it will be perfect! ;D

EDIT: the ending itself is fine, the problem I have is with the AMOUNT of panning. Just reduce is by I dunno, 40-50% (just estimating by ear, might be inaccurate, but the panning feels like 100%)

That's just how I roll ;P
If you listen to it without headphones, it is a whole ear infection on a plate. Best to use 'em for better experience bro :P
And BTW I don't think my music format will change because this is the best I can do using FL Studio Mobile :/

EDIT: You hate the cymbals and panning, huh? I hate 'em too but IDK any other way to conclude my songs so that's just the way it is :P

[AmbCe²]

My lack of working internet doesn't allow me to have 10 seconds without lags, so I didn't listen to the whole thing. From the part that I have heard, though... Awesome work! :D

LeruoME responds:

Thanks ! Too bad, I think the end is the best part !

[Eiffel65 - I'm Blue (AshuraTH Remix)]

Really nice! The sounds might not exactly flow together super well, but... still good work, man! :)

AshuraTheHedgehog242 responds:

Exactly! Thank u and now I'm about to publish the second I'm Raving by Penta P. remix by me! Look out for it! ;)

[A generical happy ending for a game]

Awww, but this is great! So peaceful and calm! Can imagine it being an absolutely amazing credits or menu theme for a video game! :D

[By The Fire]

The crashes are like... WAYYYYYY too strong for this setup, but other than that yeah, you made a great track! Would perfectly fit some games! :D

[Paranoia]

Nice! Kinda lacks some diversity, even for such a short song as this, but the melody is really good! :)

EDIT: By "diversity" I mean that it's just a single melody for the whole minute, but honestly it's not a super big problem here, the rest of the song provides necessary changes, so it's still good! :D

If you were making a longer song out this, 0:29 or 0:42 would be a good moment for a slight melody shift I think.

AmSynvpse responds:

Thank you! I made this song very quickly, and when I do make songs, it is usually to track my progress as I grow as a music developer! If you could tell me what you mean by diversity, I am always open to constructive criticism! Thank you for the helpful comment!

[Night Track Extented]

Repetitivity is great lol! :P

[Tease]

It's great! Would perfectly fit some calm environment in a game! :D

greg-delta responds:

well, that definitely wasn't the intended idea, but some elements from game music may have subconsciously crept in

I'd say the game music is much more prominent in the other song on my profile. Koji Kondo and early Sonic are both huge influences on me!

thanks so much for the review and kind words, sir :)
