[Puzzling Penguin]

A+ on the title. Playful and inquisitive quality. Gives me hints of optimism. Plucks and punches give it a bouncy feel. :3

FairSquare responds:

Thank you! Very glad you like it :) Hope more will follow in the future

[Afrofuturism]

Funk, moody, future-y and just nice and glitchy. I think my favorite section is the first minute, at 0:23 got chills . Cool stuff dude :)

[Drive (Singalong)]

What an awesome project, sounds great and so much fun. Definitely some good work in all of this. Beautiful song to cover, can't stop listening to this collab rendition :) Great job!!

Ceevro responds:

Super happy you liked it! And if you like it, consider participating in the next one! We shall be doing a sea-shanty!

[Always Gold (cover)]

Hello Mister. Always love listening to your voice. :) You + guitar = soothing symphony. (sometimes I sing along in harmony) Recording is great quality too. 5/5 would listen again

FairSquare responds:

How do i only see this now? Thank you! Would love to hear how you are doing :)

[Qshunt - Journey to Muliphein]

I super enjoy this. That drum and bass is iconic. 1:01 remains my favorite part. I imagine a cool game atmosphere, like flying overhead with a vast expanse of land below, or cruising through space. Keep doing what you're doing!

[Vision]

This is so satisfying to listen to. Great mix. It didn't even feel that short too! Not much else to say. Awesome.

Quarl responds:

Yay!

[A Stroll Down St Pancras]

So groovy! I like this collab a ton. Great work everyone put in. The piano is so bouncy. Mixing is done nicely. This is uplifting for sure and a very enjoyable track.The cover art is good too! Added to the imagery~

[Marble Night]

I like your melodies and kind of careless swag in this. What concerns me is the filter you have on the entire song. It was well-suited at the beginning and near the ends, but overall the song was muffled and compressed as the mid-high and high frequencies were missing. When the drums came at 0:26 there was opportunity for it to sound big but the cutoff prevents this from happening throughout the song. That's my only advice in regards to production at this point. But if it's all intentional, by all means disregard.

Other than that one thing, like I said the song is jammin, the swing and rhythm is good, and I agree with the below review, this would be great with vocals! Keep at it~

SamTheHare responds:

I tried to make it kind of bass boosted so I had some problems with the compression because when I tried to make the mid-high range brighter the bass and sub-bass turned kind of unperceivable. So yeah, I'm pretty much an amateur with all the mastering stuff and I definitely have to study a little more about it hahaha
I'm happy that you like it and thanks for the advice!

[Forbidden Fruit | NGUAC 2020 Knock-out Submission]

Totally digging this vibe. I didn't know what to expect at 1:12, but I flippin love that. Nice mixing! I don't feel like anything really overpowed another. Drums at 1:52 had a groove that got me dancing in my chair. Cool stuff.

[Nebulous - Insert Credits (NGUAC 2020 | R1)]

Really liking the energy of this track. It's pretty repetitive but you make it worth listening to the end. I don't have much else to say on this. Snappy snares, balanced kick, catchy tune. Great job, for even a 3 hour effort!

ShockblastDeluxe responds:

Thanks, man. Yeah, it's pretty repetitive, but at least it's bearable, it seems. :D
