[Shanlix - Once upon a time [Melodic Dubstep] [Squel to Medieval Journey]]

i haven't heard the song before this one, but I enjoyed this one. I think you should work on improving your build ups, especially in the beginning because I didn't realize that was the drop until the song progressed further. maybe adding a tom/drum roll right before the drop could help emphasize your drops. besides that, I really love the melody and the medieval theme and background. keep up the great work!

Shanlix responds:

Thanks, will do. I actually have build ups in my other songs, this one is just, another case y'know.

[Nostalgia (WIP)]

that intro was pretty fire ngl. i really wanted the synths to come in filtered, but maybe that's personal preference haha LOVELY track. the drop was unexpected and the sound choices were really fun and lively. hope to hear a longer version come out soon :)

NASHqp responds:

Thanks! ;)

another BOP bro nice work. second song I saw on the recent so I had to check it out. love the progression again, i think maybe EQ'ing that low bass a bit around a minute in would help remove that muddy feel. the final drop was FUN but again the bass was a bit too much and it just slightly muddied the track. keep working though, your melodies and sound choices are awesome.

GrizzlyCogs responds:

Thank you so much !
Yeah, i know the mix isn't perfect, i always struggle a lot with the bass sound and presence in my tracks ^^ i'll do my best in the future

[Dancefloor ghosts (part 1)]

you killed it melody wise. I think the progression felt super natural, and bass definitely fit. my only hiccup is the song sounds a bit too processed, like it was overmastered during post production, but that's super difficult to get perfect. besides that, I really think it's a solid track. keep up the good work, I can't wait to hear what you drop next :)

GrizzlyCogs responds:

Thanks a lot !
Yeah, it's something i also struggle to do, mastering my tracks. I'll try better ^^
