@jökull - AndstæðaCool FX/atmo in the intro, the transition at 0.36 is interesting and kinda empty. Very neat drum beat. You say problems with it being repetitive and I can see that. Just add a little variation in the drums and the rhythm of the other instruments. It doesn't have to be anything major, in fact I think subtle things would work better for this track. Things like adding another hat hit here and there, changing the rhythm of the pad one phrase, or possibly changing the final chord of the phrase once or twice. As for the track being empty, adding a quiet arp to compliment the pads would work wonders, I think. It would also be an easy way to make the song feel less repetitive as long as you don't use the same scales/patterns for the arp the whole song.
@Facade - Downthestreetwip2The beginning is just a kick repeating over and over until the bass fades in at 0.07, maybe spice that up with more percussion? The fill at 0.40 is just a tad quiet, and as for the drop it does sound a little dissonant, but I think it works for the song's theme. As for the lead itself, its harmonics do sound a little too dissonant in a couple of spots. Overall the song sounds fun and dancy, but could use a little more sound design put into it, like more complex percussion, looking into that harmonic, etc.
@JacksonMiller - Rain RemixCool intro, but call me crazy I think I might recognize a few samples :P 1.39 really peaking sounds, could use more leveling, I would not recommend more compression. Overall it reminds me too much of every other big room track I've heard, one melodic line reminded me of Animals, the pryda snare everywhere... The track is solid, but not necessarily original sounding
@itroitnyah - No name?Nice intro sweep. The intro synths sound really harsh right off the bat, but a proper mix would probably fix that. The transition into the second part is really.... boring? basic? Almost sounds like a different song. It also gets really repetitive, as the main synth repeats almost exactly until the section ends. Transition 2 needs a little more than a riser sweep to be interesting. Overall you've got some really cool sounding things going on but the structure is killing me with the near silent transitions that also have nothing going on in them.
@Injustrial - Electronic DevastationCool intro, build is great. You really nailed the name so far. The first laser sounds seem just a little loud. I mean like just the smallest bit too loud. Very neat vocals. I'm not sure if these are just verses or the chorus/drop of the song. I'm going to guess versus since they have breaks in between. Dalek samples ahah. Great song, but it doesn't feel like it's building to a final climax of the song, just staying at the same levels the whole time. That last hit caught me off guard lol, made me jump!
@TheSkullX2 - This WorldThese vocals in the intro! The strings are a bit too quiet, scratch that the whole song is quiet. Sounds almost like super heavy compression/limiting. The song is cool and has a nice heavy feel in terms of composition but as I mentioned earlier that crushing limiter whatever is really squashing everything.
@Dr. Plague - 邪王真眼 〜Jaō Shingan〜I just have to say you've come a very long way from when you first started posting in this thread! Interesting song. The only thing I really have that stuck out to me is how empty the intro feels because the abrupt cutoffs on your synths, but once 0.31 rolls around it sounds better from the voices (percussion, the lead) that are added in. Once all those things are going the abrupt-ness sounds a lot better. Nice bass slaps! I like the speedup headed into the DnB at 3.07 (DnB is best genre!), the only other thing I have is that the ending is very abrupt (shoot I really like that word today).
@Glitchhog - Pn3 remix horse songPretty cool. I considered remixing this song but decided to not bother with the pony music. Very clean. I don't have much to critique, the song has great design, has a good mix, what else is there to talk about :B. I must add that I like the addition of Smile towards the end!
@eery - haibane renmei thingI really like the reversed stuff in the intro! If I were mixing the song I would have made the kick a little more prominent in the mix but that is just personal preference I guess. Enough to match the perceived loudness of the snare. Nice retrigger effects around 1m in! The song is very diverse, well put together, and is happy/whismical sounding! Would listen again for sure.
@MilesTiden - TerraformationVery harsh sounds! Fits well with the industrial feel. Distortion is cool when it is actually part of a song and not an accident! Over all you've got cool beats and bass stuffs going on, but I echo SkullX2 in that you could use more prominent melodies in the song.
@TheSkullX2 - As I Will LiveAgain, you've got most everything down but slamming stuff with a limiter. The track is quiet as a result of making everything fit, the weird sidechain effect from the hihats is them slipping through the limiter in more quiet parts of the song only to get clipped by louder things. Its a great song, but you could defiantly work on the mixing/mastering aspects more.

Okay here is my track. There are 2 things I want ya to know about this track: 1, it was made completely in LMMS, and 2, all the synths are LMMS's trusty 3OSC. The story on this song is that a newcomer to the LMMS community (of sorts) made a song with a
REALLY simple supersaw made with 3OSC then proceeded to act like it was something special (a direct quote from him, "I know it's hard to believe but this supersaw here is a 3OSC patch I made, so here's a link to the PF of you don't believe me!"). Needless to say I wasn't too happy with that so I decided to create a song with 3OSC from scratch to point it out in a snarky fashion.
https://soundcloud.com/stakeoutpunch/rebellionI guess now that the name is Rebellion (the name was originally 3OSC WOW) the song is an edgy song about people rebelling against things.
