[HOPE]

I swear man if you work on the technical side of things a little bit (cuz rn it's a bit muddy and poorly mixed at times) you'll be up there with Camellia, this shit is amazing

paranoidkid2580 responds:

aww thanks :3
also nahh I still have a lot to improve in order to reach that guy lmao, especially bass sound design stuff

[Augmented Twilight]

Sick! I almost don't even have anything bad to say about this lol. Most of the song sounds mostly professional.

:0000000

[Isekai]

I love how wide everything sounds. The ambient sections are amazing and melodies are great. However, due to a huge amount of reverb and big, wide background sounds, in dnb-ish and especially dubstep-ish sections, mix is not too good. It is, like, "overloaded" in those parts, too much is happening at the same time but you can't really hear anything.

paranoidkid2580 responds:

ok thanksss

[tnky - AZAROTH (Remix)]

Uhhh good ideas but mix is just kinda not there. Not even closely.

paranoidkid2580 responds:

I know but im too burnt out to work on this
so uh yeah

[Solipsis]

Some minor mixing issues aside, this is great! Sounds kinda like frums.

> i'll make normal songs next time i swear ;-;

relatable lmao

Edit: ill do my best to specify it :)
I might be wrong, but a lot of sounds here (especially atmos) have quite an agressive HP filter with a boost at around 5-8k hz and the very top being cut for no reason, which while helps making it cleaner and less dirty, also creates the weak, "hollow" and a little unpleasant feeling. I would boost those frequencies less and make the hp filter less agressive, carefully though.

Some leads have the same issue with EQ.

Also, this is just my personal nitpick, but the kick could've been a tiny bit louder and agressive in some parts, especially at 1:56.

Other than that, the song is, again, great! As Frums addict, I would love to listen to more stuff in this style.
Also, can you give some feedback on my latest song please? It's my first good speedcore, I would love to see more opinions from people who are actualy familiar with this kinda stuff.

paranoidkid2580 responds:

thanks!
also can u specify the issues? :0
edit: okkk thanks
this is inspired by aegleseeker so it's understandable dat it sound kinda like frums lol

[Slash Through JAPAN!]

You need to do a lot of work with mixing, right now this sounds just like a mess of random sounds. I do like the melodies, although they're too repetative, maybe try changing and developing them trough the song. If we ignore all that, this song is pretty good! Gives me some touhou vibes lol.

good to know, also thanks
