[Attack On Titans]

I liked the way the bass and kicks interacted. Especially that quick boom-boom-boom the kick would do in the middle of the pattern. The strings kinda creeped me out. Interesting track. I could definitely see it as some type of battle rap track. Very bombastic.

TheLastBobo responds:

Thank you !

[Metanoia]

The atmosphere of the track is great. The bass (especially that buzz it has when it switches notes) is my favorite thing about the track. The only thing I wasn't a total fan of was the drums. The drums sound like they'd fit better in a early 90s hip hop track, and this track seems more like a Portishead/Massive Attack kind of thing. It could use drums with real attitude. Maybe some reverb on the snare, too. Otherwise, I liked this track a lot. The rest of the instruments were fantastic. So many great layers to it.

[Rain Check]

Whoa, this is really cool. Reminds me of the bonus disc on Doom's special herbs and spices (the instrumentals from the KMD album Black Bastards) -- the strings at 1:13 are killer.

I think the drums had some strange panning to them (it might just be in my head, though).

The bassline was great -- very subtle, but added those low frequencies needed to hold down the track. Very Jaylib -- The Red esque, but without the buzz.

This beat was great.

putzpie responds:

Hell yeah man, that's what I like to hear.

The drum thing was def in your head though lol. I didn't do any panning on it other than expanding them to sound a little "wider"

It ended kinda abruptly, was it supposed to loop back at the end? I liked the guitar, and I think the fuzzy bass went well with it. I think there might be other drums better suited for the sound you have going here. The drums I heard sound like they'd go with a Dream Theater/proggy kind of band, and this is more of a subdued California kind of jam. I'd maybe try some brush drums or something crunchy. Spicy. Otherwise, I really dug this track.

[The NS Warbringer]

Very Hollywood. I could see it in a trailer. When the track gets busy, I don't think it would hurt to go mess with the EQ on the instruments, I think they might be crowding in some spots. But note-wise, I think it's solid.

LunyAlex responds:

Aye, I'll definitely try to clean up the mix a bit more. Thanks a lot for the feedback!

[Ray (Freestyle 4Chan)]

Dig the drums in that beat, especially them sproinky bongo beep boop things. You guys ever gonna do a track on the baneposters? Every time I go on /tv/ they're there, posting Aidan Gillen's face everywhere. Shit's relentless...

AnalogByNature responds:

baneposters is new to me.
fill me in, what's it all about & we'll figure something out.

[Ghetto Moccs]

Sounds like it came off Aesop's Labor Days. Really subdued. Snare got that crunch to it. I dig the bassline.

BOULLIE responds:

ttyy

[Sonder]

That was badass.

SineRider responds:

Haha thanks man!

[Slippin. Never]

This is really cool. I dig the wah wah wah thing the chords are doing. The drum patterns are really cool, too. That thing at 1:22 was a surprising transition. The guitar fits in real well. Solid work.

[Compressed Time]

Sounds like the ending of a Nolan film. If you were going for more of an ambient, zone-out while listening to it type of mood, I guess you could try messing with the EQ to take the edge off some of the harsher sounding synths in the mix, but I think it sounds pretty solid right now.

I like the way it ends. I could catch the last linger of that cool sounding note.

SineRider responds:

Thanks for the comments!

I agree, I left a lot of the harshness in there for effect, it's not really a straight ahead relaxing ambient piece. I may retool this one and fix some of the rough automation bits too. Specifically, the end is a bit abrupt
