[PancakePocket - Haunted [Dubstep]]

Interesting. A bit repetitive with that vocal lead, which is wayyyy too loud for my taste -- and could use more reverb. Drop could be a bit less repetitive, and the drums are way down in the mix. That's what's keeping me from dropping a higher score. Your writing is fine apart from that.

Side-chaining would improve this mix 100%. I do like what you've done with the drop, but I wish there were more bass.

PancakePocket responds:

Thanks for the review

[Earth Will Consume Your Children]

Probably my favorite here is the strange little panning sounds -- like someone is shaving a stubbly beard, or sharpening a knife. It has that Dead Island music feel to it. Really nice work. Strings could be a bit clearer, but I can't really complain.

zybor responds:

Thank you for your review! :O how did I miss this review???! I'm sorry for it D:

[The Tomb]

This is both soothing and creepy. I need it. Well written. Really enjoying it.

AntonM responds:

Thanks

[Need Less To Say- Part 2]

I swear, you're a lyrical genius, Teq. Could still use a little more compression on your vocals, and maybe a bit of panning if you're going for that Pac-style chorused sort of delivery. In the middle it does get a little muddled around "Defender of Butt Cheeks", but otherwise, great. Not a huge fan of the opening, but by the time you start your verse, it's gold. Love to see more word play like this. <3

Teqneek responds:

Sorry for the decade-late response, but thanks for the review man! Also in hindsight, and after years of having this song pop up on shuffle, I super hate the opener I chose to go with on this too.

Another fun fact... is that I started writing songs as Teqneek when I was 17, and was in my 20s when I finally got the chance to record tracks. My first few recording were songs where I threw my name around in them, and thus started my first YouTube channel under the moniker Teqneek.

I started gaining some traction and simultaneously started thinking "I kinda hate my rap name and really wish I could change it, but it's too late now. I'm famous. I have like a hundred YT subscribers. I could've totally changed it and been fine, but back then I thought it would be too risky and kinda reset my "rise to stardom".

So basically I hate the opener to this song AND my rap name.

Damn that story just came out of the blue lol I intended to take about 25 seconds writing this reply 😅.

Anyway cheers homie, hope you're living good out in this 2020s hellscape

[Monster Party - Title Theme | 2015]

A little bare bones, as mentioned, but it has that sort of innocent sound to it -- could listen all day. Nice work as always, Bert!

Bertn1991 responds:

Aww, thanks so much for listening. I very much appreciate the thoughtful feedback ^-^

[Thing]

One of the best written vocaloid pieces I've heard. I'd love to see a tutorial on how to get this lilting, portamento going on. I'm having a bit of a hard time understanding the consonants.

Also, the wet heartbeat sound was a bit weird for me. The vocals sound a bit centered in comparison to the rest of the track. Could probably use a little stereo widening. Nice work!

steampianist responds:

Thank you for the review.

[Sexual Education (Update)]

Beginning is kinda repetitive, and I feel like your kick is sort of buried in all these subby frequencies. Could use a little more clarity between the rhythm, the accompaniment, and and the lead. Writing is good, but it seems very over-reverbed. Would have appreciated more percussion. Snares, hats, etc. Good as a concept.

ConceptSama responds:

dont worry m8 its still no where near done it may drastically change lol concept
