[Porter Robinson - Goodbye to a World (VEX Remix)]

Never heard the original until you just made me search it up. Not a bad remix compared to the original, definitely works well and sounds like a song on its own. Keep it up. ^.^

[Cloudburst (Chillstep)]

Love the song, I think it sounds great. The one gripe I have with it though is the HEAVY lack of percussion. It holds the song together, and without it this song feels like it's missing something and just... "there".

[soothing]

As a Trance artist myself, let me just say this piece was extremely well made. Everything fits well together, layers nicely, and has a nice groove throughout the piece.
Only 3 problems I have with this piece.
1: The beginning is too quiet for too long. Sure, trance is about atmosphere and rhythm, but you don't get much rhythm until a lead starts to emerge very quietly around 1:06. It's just too much for too long.
2: The breakdowns specifically at 3:48 and 5:25 are too sudden. This is where a gradual volume change or long sweep could come in handy, something to mask the tone change while still keeping the rhythm from not dropping off too much.
3: Personal preference, but the Song Name is just bad. "soothing" with a lowercase S, really? xD When making a song, I sometimes delay the release of it for a solid week trying to come up with a fitting name, as I find that a name is almost as important than the song itself. Just seems a bit lazy if you don't, that's all.
Otherwise, this sounds great! Keep at it. ^.^

[Vecodex - SDLG :v]

Love the song, sounds great. I just feel that it's missing a good top line melody. The drops especially feel quite bland and repetitive without one, and makes the song awkward to listen to. Sounds alright otherwise. ^.^

VecodeX responds:

Ok, Thx!

[FUTURE BASS WIP]

Sounds great from what I can hear, but I feel that it needs a baseline... also when you make it have toe full stops, make them actual full stops, not a wavering lead synth, just a tip.

Zelgeon responds:

Don't worry man, the final result will be much better than this

[Pianore - Ceres]

I will say, I love the concept to the song, but the drops were just a bit too heavy. It took away from the overall song, especilly the second drop, just because the saws were placed in spots where it doesn't go with all the background pads. And don't worry too much, I am always very picky about that sort of stuff as I am primarily a trance and chillstep artist myself. Great job over all though, I love it.

[Neat's new demos!]

First track sound nice as it is, and should be finished, but not as of now... 2nd track if you are evne gonna finish it needs a ton of work. Meanwhile, track 3 is more of my style, as well as it has alot done already and the one I like the most. Overall, my vote is #3 to finish 1st, then #1 after if u have time.

Thanks for your vote!

[Pianore - Cosmos]

First of all, this is a really nice song. You should be proud of it. On the other hand, it is a little soft sounding, but that sort of brings out that Traditional Chinese feel that you were going for, so I don't have too much of a problem with it. And the end doesn't seem too rough to me. 4.5/5

Tennon responds:

Thank you

[(future house) Happy Moog]

Nice... just... plz turn down the general volume, especilly the kick...

[Bottles]

I know the song is suppost to be dark, but does really have to be so much dissonance? Especilly with the bell part, it just sounds all off. It adds to the ark feel, but not enough at the cost at how bad it sounds with everything else.
