HOT DAMN

TSRBand responds:

Thanks for listening!

[Hyperdrive]

Awesome energy from start to finish, the guitar is on a wave of over-driven perfection!

TSRBand responds:

Thanks for the kind words! Happy you like the sound :)

[Dust Collector]

That was really cool, super tranquil and uplifting.

ChristopherReeves responds:

Thanks dude!

[VC - Flags]

Fantastic, love that rising and falling synth at 1:16. I also like how the bass-line has a really strong drive, pulsing through the whole track.

VernCarson responds:

Thanks! Honestly the bassline is one of my favorite parts of the track. I nailed it early on, so that helped to streamline everything.

[Grizzly 10]

Pretty cool, I think you've definitely got a great overall grasp on mixing.
My advice would be that you need to pace your music a bit better (it takes a bit too long to progress and get exciting) and have some changes happen before it gets repetitive, by adding some more melodic stuff over your bass and chords for example. I do think the bass and guitar parts are well done, and the drums are particularly impressive. Keep it up!

[Verge]

Woah, really cool. The mixing is fantastic and I love the sweeping synth pads going on. Sweet melody, and the ending is so fucking classy and well-done (although that could also be said for the entire track)!

reminiscencegj responds:

thank you so much <3 your work has vibes! i love it

[Destination]

Cool stuff, I like the effects of the song fading in and out, becoming more muffled before clearing again. It would be nice if the drums were a little less flat though. Also, a little more melodic accompaniment could help liven things up, especially after the song fades back in again after the chilled-out muffled sections.

[Electrified Source]

Fun song, reminds me of the music from the game "Wipeout" at the beginning (the kick, especially). A few things that could improve the track would be to make the lead synth a bit less grating and overpowering compared to the rest of the track, and remove the random pauses/breaks. Maybe introducing a tempo change after the pauses could give some needed momentum there, or a lead melody. The mastering could use some work also, the song is pumping along at points with the heavy limiting.

[Mercury (remastered)]

If you would have told me this was from Splatoon I would 100% believe you. I like the crazy flow of this, all over the place and fun. The synths are great, and the wild vocals add a lot, in a really cool way.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Hey thanks dude! I'm glad this is getting some likeage.

[Wretched Existence Fading]

I absolutely LOVE the distorted drums and use of electronic effects in this. Could see this working perfectly as battle music in a futuristic RTS game!
