[Wick3dRabbit & Nekomika - Summer (Original Mix)]

Hehe... bouncybob

Wick3dRabbit responds:

groovy george :)

[Plus19]

Your stuff is just so pleasant... well mixed, good composition, my ears love it. Keep it up!

Surkol responds:

You're too kind! ~~(〃￣ω￣〃ゞ
I really don't know how to mix. Sometimes I feel it's just better to leave the mixer.

[+20]

Simple and relaxing... I like it a lot :D

Surkol responds:

Ty! I've actually started to like this more. One thing I always felt could have been better is the synth that goes with the piano from the start. (ʃ⌣́,⌣́ƪ)

[Weil Du Mich Hasst]

I enjoyed it. My only suggestion would be to have the high notes more centered since they're so prevalent in the mix. It's a bit draining on my right ear haha.

Conquestus responds:

Thanks. Yeah, that would've been a little bit too difficult, because the vst itself has this effect to simulate the piano sounds from the perspective of the piano player.

[Morning Routine]

I really like it. It fits a "in your house at the beginning" section of a video game :)

What plugins/libraries did you use for the wind and bass-strings?

LawnReality responds:

Glad you like the track! :)

Most everything in this track is from Miroslav Philharmonik.

The bass-strings were from Acoustica Instruments library.

[Garden of Words]

Ehhhh... idk man. I cringed a bit. It's a bit cheesy, no offense.

DraMaTiiK responds:

anime can have "Cheesy lines".......ehh

[Domyeah - Final Sunset]

Sounds like you've got real nasty clipping, might be just a bit too loud. Pretty sure some stuff is being smashed up against a limiter somewhere.

Domyeah responds:

Maybe try turning your volume down cause it seems fine to me :/

[Kriby Green Greens Remix]

Sidechain the kick to everything in the mids/lows, it'd add so much energy to the mix.

Teckmo-X responds:

Lol I keep forgetting to do that. Well time to brush up on some more knowledge, music that is.

[Super Metroid Theme]

Lots of clashing frequencies in the mids, I'd filter some stuff out to tighten it up. Also bump up the high freq's a tad with some EQ on the master, it'd do wonders for clarity. Then, make sure your kick is centered, it takes away a LOT of the punch when you have it panned or stereo delayed.

HugoJunstrand responds:

I'll most definitely take it into consideration. Thank you for your helpful constructive criticism!
