[asj & one80 - Sparkler]

Solid song on both of your ends ngl.

I said this in the NGAP server, but maybe snare could be a little more punchy, and maybe even more prevalent by doing some leveling. Kick could also be a bit crisper. Also, you guys should utilize silence much more in your drops, cliché as it might sound.

Sound design is really nice. Chord choices & the melodical aspects are pretty cool too. Mix does get somewhat muddy when concerning the overall melodical synths. Like some things should be louder than they are. And some others are louder than they should be. Mix isn’t bad otherwise. I also like the random samples in some parts.

Even though this genre isn’t really my niche, I can’t argue that it’s really well done. Some mixing and sound design nitpicks on my end (I’m no expert on it either, so don’t take my advice as correct), but it’s good otherwise. 8/10

P.S.: Personally, I’d end the song with some sort of glitched playback effect, but that’s just me.

I mean, for your first try it isn’t bad. But for me, there’s some stuff left to be desired. I’m no expert on this genre, but I can try and at least give a bit of feedback. Also, I’m not telling you to go 100% with what I’m saying, but this might provide some of my insight.

In the buildup to the drop, I’d advise using some sort of snare, and then high passing it to build anticipation. Also, repeating the piano might not be a great idea. Others might get tired of it very quickly, but I honestly can’t think of much better. Maybe introducing the lead by fading it in slowly, and then having it at full volume by the start of the drop.

The drop isn’t terrible, but it feels like it could be a bit fiercer. Maybe going a bit harder on saws and trying to layer the synths could do you some favors. Or even choosing a puncher house drum. Idk. Experiment. Also, for the growls & fills, play around with them. Add new things, only repeating once every 4-8 bars. Mixing doesn’t really need any feedback though.

Where 1:45 is, could potentially be a breakdown part leading into a second drop if you ever decide to extend it. But as it stands, maybe the piano is a bit overdone at that point.

All in all, not bad for a first attempt at complextro. Not bad at all

7.8/10 (Rounds to a 4/5)

[Le Néant]

This song is making me feel something.
Parts of it are super euphoric.
I would change almost nothing here.
Absolutely amazing

[Stellar]

Really like what you've made here. Has a very spacey vibe to it. Very cool. Only thing is that it has a freakishly similar format to Be Alright, but that can be overlooked ig. Otherwise, good work. Clean production. Easy 9.3/10
