[Spirits of Ancient Giants]

this song makes me go yes

[Dangerous Science - Big Red Sun]

I like the ambiance you create in the beginning. The chord progression is very nice, the melody too, but could use less repetition.
Your bass frequency is too high, I would push down an octave and add saturation.
I don't like the kick sample you used.
Your sounds are too wet (too much reverb/delay?).
Almost all your sounds have no high end so the hi hat is very loud and out of place.
I believe the song is lacking stereo, it's mostly in mono, but that could just be me.
Mixing and sound design is very important to me, hence the low score. I hope my feedback was useful though. Good luck in your future projects !

Kysertron responds:

The bass is based on the top note of each chord (since the bottom note is always C). Also, there are two bass tracks. One is sidechained, and the other is offbeat (this one is stacked by an octave) to give a more upbeat feel for the song. Also, I don't saturate my basses.
Most of the sounds I used do not have reverbed (the only sounds that are reverbed are the bells and the pads at 1:49 and 3:12). I use a lot of reverb to signify space (that is one of the themes for this song).
I also noticed you mentioned most of the tracks are in mono. It is actually a mix of both. All of the bells and pads are stereo. Most sidechained tracks are between mono and stereo (except for sidechained pads, which are stereo).

I will take your feedback as advice though.

How about changing the chords a little bit throughout the song? Gets kinda boring hearing the same chords over n over. It's not too bad tho, because the song is only 2 minutes.

LodestarFM responds:

Yeah I agree. Still working on being more creative. Thanks for the feedback x)

[SapphireSnake - The Flood]

I don't think this is progressive house at all.

[LuukMans - Glitched VIP]

The melodies are good but your kick is not hard enough. Your mix needs work, the drop doesn't sound like a drop, you didn't build up enough intensity. I think you could really use some sidechain too.
Good luck on future projects.

[Haddaway - What Is Love (Narem Remix)]

This sounds really good. Just hoped the drop was more intense.
Amazing work anyways :)
