[AuruxBlu - You Complete]

You were sick

For a month? That must've sucked. At about 50 seconds a melody started up, but it was far to quiet, I could barely hear it over the bass. The piano also needs to be louder. It all sort of just melded together with no clear melody, it was just hard to hear and disfocused. I personally didn't like it, I'd prefer if you brought one melody to the front, and then pushed it back, and brought in the other one. At 2:40 it got good though, I really like the melody here. Your synths sound good. I love your build ups, way better then whatever it is I do. The little 8-bit sounding sound that gets louder, fantastic. I love the wood block sound that keeps the constant beat, though the melody feels a little repetitive at times, just a little, I like the variations in it, but some times the melody seems to drag on, rather then push the song. Good ending, liked it :D

I wasn't sick but depressed so I worked on it on and off. I didn't want the first melody to over power the piano so I kept it softer then the other synths. Vice versa on the piano, I didn't want it to over power the rest of the song.

Thanks :). I didn't let the second melody fade out too quickly because I didn't want to make it feel as if I was rushing it. All in all I glad you liked it.

[Running Across the Sky]

Sup bro

I felt like there was too many drastic switches with very little similar between them. To be exact on where :50. I like it though dark and bright at the same time. Sick song.

OpenLight responds:

Thanks. I tried to keep it as similar as possible, but I always do drastic switches. That's how I write music haha.

[Robot Echo]

Stupid Haters

Good song I really like it, there's good complexity, and it's very ambient but intense at the same time. I really liked it a lot. Loved all the sounds. 1:30 was my favorite part by far, the drop was perfect and everything about this track is awesome. 5/5 for you sir. Even the dubstep part was interesting and different. Overall I really like the track.

GRINGOJS responds:

This whole track was experimental, I incorperated some dubstep into this, thank you very much for enjoying the track i'll try and make more
:D

[Tears in the Wind]

Reinspired

Well, I'd like to thank you again, not only for producing music but for reispiring me, in no particular way. Your music is just so unique it makes me want to make more music. So thank you again, I lost count of how many times I have, but once again for making awesome music :D.

Sincerely,
Prex

OpenLight responds:

Thanks man! My computer's been dead, so sorry for not responding sooner. Glad you liked this, and I'll be looking out for more stuff from you!

[Fallen Into Panic]

Awesome as usual

Not much to say, I did notice some times when there were a lot of sounds it was clipping and quieting some of the other sounds, but other then that, fantastic. It's very you. Good work.

OpenLight responds:

Thank you! Again, my laptop's been dead sorry haha. I'm working on new stuff though!

[-ganon95- The Liquid Fact]

Really awesome

I love it, it's so ambient. All the sounds and effects you used were very well done. The drumming fit nicely in with the sounds and ambient feeling. Personally I really enjoyed the feeling of the kick drum. Quiet but heavy at the same time. I also liked the variations on the themes played through out the song, it was cool, made me think of an orchestral piece. I had no issues with this song to be honest. Very well done.

ganon95 responds:

thanks :) i really like the overall underwater feeling in this one

[-ganon95- Chaos Filter]

Interesting

Not very epic or fast paced feeling like most DnB, but it's good. I feel like I know the pad you use, and it was used well, though I'm pretty sure it's a default from FL Studios. Other then that, this song is too short, it needs some variation and overall work. Very good though still.

ganon95 responds:

yea i made this very quickly cuz it was in the demo and i couldn't save, if i spent more time on it i would probably add alot more to it

the pad is preset yes. it does fit well tho.

[Prodigal for me]

Very awesome

The only problem I had with it was the sound that starts at 29 seconds. It doesn't reoccur so it's not a major issue, but it was something that stood out to me. Everything else other then that was really good. Definitely going to keep this on hand. Just one question, why such a precise Tempo?

merlin responds:

Oh that effect at 29 seconds was used throughout the song. at 2:45 it comes back, an octave higher, and a little more distorted. It's there in the chorus too, but completely drowned out due to poor EQing on my behalf. And I don't have a reason for a precise tempo... I guess so people don't steal it (not like that would stop them) But yeah, I hope you use it man, let me know if you do!

merlin
