[Om Nom Delicious Chips]

Very cool

I'm liking the delicious blend of 8-bit elements and bassssssss. This was a fun listen. Hmm what can I say... I can't think of any cons, you got me there. I guess I'll just praise you then. Excellent drums. Fantastic melodies. Great progressions. Oh yeah, and the title is the best part. Good work, sir.

I need some help with my music, think you'd care to take a listen and criticize my blunders? It's more downtempo ambient electronic genre. But I'd greatly appreciate it!

Sure i can, braw. Glad you liked my tune, i'll post some criticism on your stuff when i have time

[PsyVamp-Complete 180 Demo]

Nice

I like DnB... I like dubstep. This was cool cause it was a nice blend of both genres; I don't know if that's been done before but I've never heard anything like it myself. Kudos on that. I really enjoyed my listen. Everything sounds well produced and well mixed.

The only problem I have with this song is the repetitiveness. Yes, it should be repetitive as that's what DnB is. However it could use a little more variance. Other than that I've gotta say there's nothing wrong with this song. Well done.

I use FL Studio as well, but I make more downtempo triphop kind of stuff. If you have a moment I could use some advice, could you review my latest? I'd really appreciate it.

PsyVamp responds:

So it wasn't just my imagination when it sounded repetitive, haha.

Just 2 Hours?

Pretty impressive given that it was composed in 2 hours. Overall I must say this is very well mixed. I really enjoyed it. You have very good mixing and production values and I am digging the choice of synths.

As this is a work in progress, I hope you don't mind my chipping in some constructive feedback. The first thing I would suggest is variance. I love the main progression, it's very catchy. But the song would benefit from some variance in the parts. For instance switching up the drums or slightly altering some of the chords every now and then. Another area for improvement would be adding heavier bass. I feel like this song could use some extra bass.

Other than that I think this is well on its way to being a great song. Please let me know when this is finished. I would like to hear it. Oh, and if you don't mind, could you possibly take a listen to my newest track? I need some constructive criticism myself. Thanks.

Thanks for the constructive review, much appreciated. The bass is not as heavy as it could be. And you are right, the chords are the same the whole way. That is a good thing to change.
