[Neurobop]

dope stuff

I wouldn't have went with sax personally. I feel like this bass sounds a lot like seemlessR's work, but that may be because he uses a lot of Harmor.

cool beans

5TanLey responds:

sax is cool, you just have no taste, I deserve 5 stars

and every bass is a saw wave, one can't be original

and seamless copied me, not the other way around

and I'm high

me too thanks

[Empty Chairs]

Piano melody/chords sounds a bit dissonant to me.

Your drums feel a bit too loud in the mix.

but then again I might be retarded. take this with a grain of salt

5TanLey responds:

no opinion is retarded ;) thx for your words again

[These Eyes]

I like this. Good mix, good song.

Snare is a wee bit loud.

That's a heavy sub. Neat.

5TanLey responds:

k :)

[Funny Lookin Cigarette]

Your bass is all muddy and is difficultly heard throughout the song. The song also feels somewhat empty, but I like the drumbeat and theme. If the bass was higher, maybe lowpassed around 2500, it would've sounded better imo.

It's an attempt after all.

5TanLey responds:

dude you need a subwoofer in your life

[Sometimes]

Good thing I had good headphones while listening to this.

I love this whole kind of aerial touch to the intro and melody that stays in the whole song. Very light, somewhat distant, very well made.

I think you should've put more than just a sub bass. While it's not misplaced, I feel like it's sort of... alone. This is a DnB track, but it feels like it's missing some bass.

But pretty cool.

^-^

5TanLey responds:

I don't think bass with mids/highs would fit here, chill tracks = sub bass only, for me at least :)

thx for your words again

[AIM - 23069601337]

Very, hum, action-y?

It sounds a lot like your previous DnB track, which I like. But seeing as it was REALLY similar, I don't know how to feel about this. Albeit, the drop past the 1:40 mark was pretty sick. The first part of the song resembles the other you made too much, but the second part flow pretty well. The breaks in the drum pattern really make it feel heavy and somewhat like a flow.

Other than that it's pretty repetitive and feels a little too distant to me. Those effects you use at the start are nice, but I would've toned down the reverb or use something else altogether.

Overall, not my fav of yours, but definitely not terrible.

5TanLey responds:

thx for your thoughts once again

I like it the way it is, it was supposed to be kinda simple and groovy, in my opinion it has enough "fun" and variations for its lenght

but yeah its basically a less distorted version of To Dust :)

[Void]

I'd like to review this but what is there to review. It's a great ambient piece, very chill. But it's ambient. There isn't much going on; not much technicality to judge.

It's a great track, feels very distant yet has a punch to it. Good job, kappa, idfk.

5TanLey responds:

idfk - those were exactly my thoughts while creating this

[February Rain]

Hey there! Happy to get another piece from you!

It is very liquid indeed and feels well rounded up, bringing a chill vibe along with the soft piano. Now, I'm going to guess again that the bass is from Sytrus, might be horribly wrong, feel free to correct me. This bass, to me, feels a little left out. Not that it would be too silent, I have great headphones and I hear it. It just seems like it resides too low in the frequencies. Maybe you could've added some higher ups in there, just to make it feel more present.

As always, just my opinion. Great track :)

5TanLey responds:

bass is lowpassed around 200hz, anything above that didn't fit the rest of the song imo.. it's supposed to have that "deep" feeling.. and it's harmor but any synth could do this I believe :)

thanks for the review as always

[To Dust]

I'm getting multiple vibes out of this, none bad.

First one is a kind of Neurofunk vibes, especially with the strong sounds and aggressive drums. If it's what you were going for, maybe more ride and overall faster drum beats would've fit in nicely.

Second vibe I'm getting is the Hotline Miami 2 OST - Roller Mobster. If you've never listened to that song, you should. The slow start reminds me of it in many ways. The strong bass is welcomed and embraced. If that's the style you were going for, maybe more pauses in between measures to add maybe a minor arp or something along those lines.

Overall, very nice track although I feel is somewhat repetitive and feels like it's missing something.

It's nice seeing you mix something aggressive once in a while ^-^.

5TanLey responds:

No, 160 is the only right tempo :) I thought I would put some chords or arps behing the bass, but it didn't work much

thanks for your words

[One Last Run (Pixel Day)]

I'm digging this! It'll fit nicely in my playlist. Also, I don't think it counts as chiptune (more 8-bit drum n' bass in my humble opinion).

I'm really digging this bass, feels heavy and very glitch hop styled. It fits nicely and gives a great underline to the song. The lead is well mixed, not too present.

My only down side are the drums. The beat is nice, I just think the samples are meh. What I would've personally done: Would've went with Magical8-bit plugin (which is free), go for a noise channel and filter down the highs for a kick and so on. Yours aren't terrible and the beat is great. It just feels a little high for me.

Overall, this is really great! Will download and not skip when it comes up in my playlist.

Cheers ^-^

5TanLey responds:

well the samples are supposed to be "8-bit meh", I didn't even try to process or clean them anyhow, they fit well just like that imo..

anyway, thanks for a nice review as usual, I'm glad you like the tune :)
