[My Last Bonus Level]

I love Chiptune Rock and you nailed down the mix really well this is great. Would be cool if it had vocals too but alone it already sounds great. The melody is moving and varies a lot so it doesn't feel repetitive at all. Favorited

Mattashi responds:

Yeah, I would love to add vocals but I'm pretty horrible at singing maybe if someone would want to collab with me that would be cool :)
Since it has no vocals I focused more on making the song sound not too repetitive
Thanks for listening!

[Polargeist]

Awesome, your mixing is getting really good! you definitely achieved the ice theme well this song has a very atmospheric feeling to it. I haven't listened to any music from the portal in a long time (trying to change that) but I remember the last time I came across one of your songs I thought it was great but it was missing a little mixing. You've made so much progress with sound clarity AND your song is catchy, an awesome combination. Good job dude.

Step responds:

Heyyy! Nice to hear from you again.

Yeah I like to think I've been making improvements in the mixing department over the years. I've also found out how useful compressors are JUST RECENTLY, and I've been making music for nearly 5 years haha. I'm glad you think that my songs have improved clarity-wise though! However, I think I'm a bit better at mixing orchestral since that's what I make most of the time, along with the fact that it's a lot easier to mix than electronic songs.

Thanks for reviewing!

[Blood and Asphalt]

Really nice, the song is really expressive. I knew I was going to like it from the start it definitely has good video game vibes to it like maybe for a title screen

[~SM64 - Road to Bowser~]

awesome remix

i love the acid back up sound, i like how you gave it a personality like most of your other songs and its awesome you took on this song (which is hard to do right) and managed to hold your own against paragonX9's track.

VGSongbird responds:

WHOA. I don't know about hold my own against ParagonX9, but I'm flattered that you even mentioned us in the same breath ^_^

[N's Farewell [B/W]]

nice remake

the first 3 notes always remind me of mother 3. did you play this on a piano and add on the extra strings later? because the piano sounds so natural and real.

CelestOrion responds:

Nah, I did this in FL, but played around with the note placement where it would feel comfortable where your fingers would roll across the keyboard keys, since I can play this one on my MIDI keyboard as well. It was some really fun practice, for sure.

[**MK64 Rainbow Road**]

nice piece

i like the mute kick bass in the beginning it sounded like it was gonna be a build up to a drum and bass break which would have also been cool, you gave it a good atmosphere i like the scratching you threw into the background and the stereo-izing filters. it could use some extra energy but it sounds great

VGSongbird responds:

Thank you for your input! :)

When I was initially working on this piece, I thought about putting in an epic drum and bass underneath, but it just felt forced, and I really liked the trance feel I was getting, so I left it be. But you and I had the same thought process ;)

[Linkin park featuring.......me]

pretty cool

that pitch bending bass is not really working with it though, you had a nice version of this track, good variation could have used some more effects here and there but the bending strings were awesome. On a more important note though your not supposed to put this track on NG for copyright reasons its best to post this on soundcloud or youtube cause here they can delete your account for using this here. just a heads up, nice track.

CYYS responds:

Oh, crap.
Thanks for your support anyway ;)

[Am I Kool Yet?!?!]

i think its pretty cool

nice energy it feels like it can be a part of an action scene in a movie it's gotta be that new sound; orchestral with electronic twist that works perfect for movies what i didn't like as much was the square used toward the end it didn't live up to the energy imo but the song was still plenty epic

Gravey responds:

Thanks. Glad you liked the song.

[Orchestral Theme 1]

whoah

this is scary good, nice job building up suspense it illustrates a very clear picture and it deserves even more downloads

Gravey responds:

Thanks a lot. It's really nice to see people enjoying it so much. :-)

[RoBoLand><><>{DnA}<><><]

pretty

i liked the way the song felt at 0:51 it gave a cool mysterious vibe i thought there was something that came off as odd to me the part at 0:42 - 0:50 feels as though its kind of out of place but the cool thing is that it reminds me of "techock" by waterflame here on newgrounds.. good job its a nice theme! 4/5 8/10

DNAmusic responds:

42-50 was out of place i had a hard time with the transition between riffs
