[How to train your cat]

ooh that violin solo be hitting like something else

now im inspired to write a violin concerto

overall, it sounds good, but at certain times the brass instruments are a bit overbearing. try to turn it down a little to give room for other instruments. they may be accompaniments, but theyre important too!

also, the percussion also had got lost in the arrangement. try to turn it up a bit so that it can shine more through the instrumentation.

Santi-Montali responds:

Yeah you are absolutely right, this was my first attempt at making "epic" music so I didn't really know much about the common modern cinematic mixing. If anything, it's Jeremy Soule's fault because I was into his music and it sounds really different from the nowadays epic music hehehe

[Bullsh*t]

is that a damn virtual riot growl preset lmao
did you get the preset or did you make it yourself tho

also you just went full virtual riot on the last drop lmao

TRVSTA responds:

I got inspired by riot ;)

[PewDiePie, Party In Backyard - Mine All Day (Vrime Remix)]

idk how to start my feedback so have this sentence that has no meaning whatsoever

1) the mix is clipping, leave some headroom for the instruments
2) the supersaw wubs are kinda lost in the mix at the drop, maybe make it a bit louder
3) the song have very little variation throughout, spice things up so that people don't get bored. for starters, maybe change the melody a bit as the drop progresses, or different chord progressions throughout the song so that it keeps the listeners at their toes

VrimeMusic responds:

Thank you for your feedback! I'll try to keep that in mind next time.

[mining diamonds]

top 10 bruh moments

[Derpcat - Paranormal]

oh boi you served justice to the g minor scale

[DuoCore - The Furious]

this is definitely not big room

it's too, perfect

[[Melodic Dubstep] Lemniscate]

Nice wubs there mate

the kick sounded insignificant in the drop, you can try highpassing it until the kick's sub is not heard and add some mids to it. also, you can add some pitch bended supersaw chords in the drop to give it a more epic feeling

also the sidechaining is inconsistent in the drop tho

[[Electro/Bass House] Homestuck - Beatdown (Strider Style) | Ilrell Remix]

Very noice glitchy effects, although the sidechain's a bit too much and also too much mids. Also, the saws needs some more detuning and the panning is a bit off.

would call this complextro tho

also i know your feeling with the serums oof

[Here We Are]

The beginning is a bit empty (i guess).
Try to add some vibrato and reverb to the instruments to give it a humane and epic feeling.
Nice choirs tho!

dkDigital responds:

Yeah, I felt that way too, I'm hoping to get some better software and some better libraries soon. Right now I'm just using free VSTs and they are quite limited.

[Snowfall]

very nice chord progressions tho uwu

the only thing wrong is that the drop is a bit too empty. some sidechained saws would do.
