[Another Late Night]

I like this song... but for some reason I can't help but feel like this track has quite a few rough edges that needs to be sorted out.

First is something like chord progression... though I haven't taken music theory so I can't tell you exactly what's wrong with it... I just feel like there's something wrong with the progression.

Second is how muddy the track sounds. Perhaps it's because you used a "lo-fi" piano, but other times there's this strange sound that muddies up the listening experience.

Other than that, good work, keep it up!

[MyFloppy Online! - Chill Out (space lobby)]

what's that cart sound that interrupts the ambience every now and then? I feel that distracts from the mood too much in an otherwise solid track.

[Fear of Repitition]

The piano part is pretty good... though I'm not too sure about the rest. The part that comes after the piano feels like an afterthought

Otherwise, nice track!

[Titanical - Technobopper WIP]

Man I can never muster up enough bravery to post a WIP for some reason. Sounds great!

Very repetitive but I don't know what to expect out of a WIP so... er...

Great track keep up the good work!

Titanical responds:

Thanks!

[Unwavering]

I really like this track... though the string jabs that get introduced in 1:20 does sound out of place. Also the ending is very... out of place as well. Other than those, a solid work!

I've noticed from the other track and here as well... is the peaking part of your style?

[BERSERKER]

Nice track! Though the guitar is a little too in my face (but that's my preference) I liked the rhythm and the sounds. It did get repetitive as the track went on and I think one of the parts in the middle should've been a main chorus. But that's my opinion. Keep up the good work!

JB368-LORD responds:

Thank you, your comments help me know where I should improve

[Cold Soup]

It's too simple to stand out and it's too distracting to be a background track... though I still like what you're going for here. I do have to say there's too much low-mid for my comfort, but that's just my listening preference. Keep up the good work!

[Soup's Off!]

Great song!

I don't know whether the whole point was to use one drum pattern, but I would've liked if you changed the pattern at appropriate moments to make the song sound less "long".

The only problem I noticed is minor:
The synth that gets introduced in 01:45 doesn't fit that well in the section 01:45~01:51. Try reusing the up and down pattern that's used right after the section.

Keep up the good work!

Rost-Kilroy responds:

Hey, thanks for the constructive criticism!

Regarding of the drum pattern, yeah, I should’ve changed a bit on specific moments, but I’m at loss at making my own drum patterns, let alone edit a current loop from the packs (I’ve only used DL_Classic Break (Packs -> Legacy -> Loops)). The drum parts on FL Studio’s plugins is very new to me since I have so many ways to do it, from setting up separately or all in one in a single track.

As for the synth at 01:45-01:51, my attempt was to put a different melody that goes along with the main one in order that it wasn’t so monotonous. Come to think of it, the ups and downs would’ve been perfect.
Thank you again, for having a time to point all of this things, it helps a lot to improve.
