This is quality quality quality work, your sound design chops here are top notch.

Love the chord progression on this one. What song is it a remake of?

orbiter408 responds:

it's a remake of an old song i posted on here a while ago just called "minecraft"

What a fantastic piece!

This is fantastic, the song structure is great! l love how it comes all together and has a great payoff at 3:12, really gets you into the song, and the chord progression throughout is great!

I would love to hear the arpeggio in that end section have a more interesting line rather than just the traditional up/down thing going on, you could go all over the place with it. Also, I think your drums are too low in the mix, but you already said its not mixed or mastered and that you are going to switch them out so best not to nitpick on that!

Great job!

Cheers Kassich!

Reminds me of a Pokemon track for a ghost tower or something in the beginning! I'm also digging the triplet part in the melody.

Personal preference, but I would want it to be 100% 8-bit sounding rather than having the drums and the non 8-bit melody that comes in at 1:27.

Nailed the creepy vibe though with all that dissonance!

DawMii responds:

Hmm, I think I could do that. I'll upload a version of that soon. Thanks a lot!!

Very spooky! I liked this! loved the 8-bit/creepy vibes throughout the whole thing.

The mix felt a little too muddy for me in the beginning, and I think the countermelody part could have been a little louder, but I really liked how everything came together in the end with the new organ/choir chords over the original melody.

The bass and intro sounds like a track from Super Mario RPG to me! It reminds me of a funky jungle level.

I'm getting the mysterious feeling a little bit, but it feels a little more cartoonish and bouncy than I was expecting to hear based on your description. I think a lot of that comes form the feel and sound of the bass line.

Either way, I loved it!

OliRO responds:

A funky jungle level; I love the description!

I've showed it to a couple of friends and they all agree that this feels foresty/jungly, but they all had different views of it. I love it so much to be able to convey different feelings like that.

Thanks :)

Fantastic! It def has FTL/Crying Suns vibes!

Given the fact that this song had so many firsts for you, you navigated it flawlessly!

I think it wouldn't hurt to add even more creative panning choices to some of the elements for even more depth!

Chepaki responds:

Thanks! Yep panning is still something I'm struggling with. Everytime I touch a pan knob I'm like "nope, this was better before, forget it" and just give up aha
But yeah thats something I'll have to work on eventually

This was fantastic, I love the pacing and how it evolves over time!

This is a personal preference, but I think the drums could have been a little louder in the mix since it gives the piece its driving force.

Very ambient and atmospheric. I agree with Everratic that you've created a great atmosphere!

I love the dichotomy between the organic sound sections (e.g. 0:00 - 0:20) and glitchy alien sections (e.g. 1:34 - 2:30), and also how they come together sometimes as well!

If I had one critique to make, it would be that your strings/orchestral sections have a lot of parallel movements which can be great at times, but I think sometimes when you overdo it, it can reveal the fake-ness of the samples, and it can also lead to a flat orchestral sound.

I really enjoyed the sound design in this as well!
