[Felix Zophar - Cove]

I really like the intro, with all the odd FX, I like how they repeat multiple times, and how the melody comes in with fragments of bells. I think the snare in the buildup has too long a tail, the drop could use more sidechain.

Nice.

FelixZophar responds:

No the drop had perfect sidechain

[Riddim Wip]

Ok, this is nice, the first half of the build has too much going on though. In the drop, there should be a kick/clap instead of a snare, no pads, and no "hey".

TrickshotMusic responds:

Ok bet I’ll change some stuff up

[Felix Zophar - Friday Mornings]

This is really nice, I love the vocal chops and the old-school instrumentation. In the really intense drops, the kick could have more power.

FelixZophar responds:

Okay man! Kicks are your thing bro!

[AlieN - Virtual Riot Mode (Electro House/Dubstep)]

This is overall pretty nice in terms of musicality, the drops are fine and go pretty hard, my main problem with it is the sound design. If you were going for an Energy Drink by Virtual Riot Feel, use a multiband compressor on a saw wave, (OTT) add hyperdimension a little, EQ to taste, and let the notes, then add a sub-bass square wave form, drop it down and octave.

For the arps and stuff at 1:30, the same thing is happening with sound design, its just the init preset. At 2:07 and other places, theres this wierd wobble thing, I know what you were going for, but keep the notes short.

AlienNinjaGD responds:

Thanks! I'll follow your advices!

[Future Bounce Wip]

Nice production. I had to come back and reveiw because I just noticed-

I'm sure that was accidental, its why I knocked a star though.

TrickshotMusic responds:

I got the melody from a ultrasonic video but yeah i noticed long after i produced it

[Trickshot - Bells]

Theres some clipping stuff in the intro. Other than that, really nice.

TrickshotMusic responds:

Clipping isnt an issue when i cant fix it xd

[Exlextron - Mind Stuck (Froej Remix)]

Cool.
One complaint is the snare at the start: it has a lot of high-end and needs a shorter tail IMO.
When there is a piano solo, It's really cool.
The drop is kinda unexpected but awesome.

Froej responds:

ty ^^

[[AIM] Felix Zophar - Nuclear Aftermath]

Really cool. I think the kick could use more power.

FelixZophar responds:

Yeah I think so too.

[Experimental riddim thing]

Ok, so the mani bass is nice, one thing though. Assuming you use Serum to make this bass, use the Combs filter under the Misc section on the FX filter and automate the knob with some new LFO, that way you can create strange noises with the same patch. If you don't use serum then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The drums:
The kick is nice, It sounds kinda like a chill riddim song. However, you treated the hi-hats like they are in a bro/dubstep song. They are loud and the open ones have a long tail. Instead, they should be short and mostly closed. The feel of wonk from riddim comes from interesting bass patterns, not hats.
The snare is ok, but it has a long tail, and riddim usually uses a clap. I think this song would be better with a short-tailed, high-passed, reverberated quiet clap instead of a snare.

The bass could use some variation, with FM or combs or whatever. It's just a bit monotonous.

FuzionTech responds:

change the snares, add some more vibes. got it. Thanks :)

[Planetary Aftershock]

This is nice. The snare throughout the whole thing could use some punch and maybe a little less tail.

BeastKillerMusic responds:

I agree
