[Dazzling Serenity (HOUSE)]

The kick is definitely not pronounced enough IMO. Otherwise sounds pretty good. GJ.

[King's Relic]

Eh, not bad. Doesn't exactly sound like a "King's Relic" to me, mainly because of that odd instrument that kicked in at about 00:15. I think it was rather loud and rough-sounding compared to the rest of the composition. Also, that short section around 1:37 was rather unexpectedly loud in my opinion. Not trying to be overly critical here, just offering some feedback. Do keep up the good work.

Zicorn responds:

i do agree with you there... ill work on that in future projects

[Trance Emotions]

Not bad for a first try. I don't profess to be an expert on these matters, but IMHO, there's not enough buildup and release in some parts. Adding in a few "transitional" beats (such as rapid snares fading in or something) might be worthwhile. The breakdown sounded kind of rough. The opening synth is also a bit loud and domineering compared to the rest of the composition. Otherwise, it's pretty decent, and I encourage you to keep up the good work.

[Music By the Non-Musical]

Doesn't sound like ambient. It's mostly good, but that persistent kick really bugs me, so half a point off for that. Also kind of short; I'd have liked to see this go somewhere a bit further, so another half-point off. Other than that, it's pretty good. Keep up the good work.

[Copout Title]

Like AmbientDanny said, this doesn't sound like ambient to me, but it would make a good video game track - maybe for a town setting, or a mini-game. I don't understand why this is rated so low. People are jerks. Anyway, keep up the good work.

[Gears]

Doesn't sound like dubstep to me. More like downtempo (ambient?) or breakbeat. Nonetheless, it's pretty good. A tad repetitive, but not such a big deal. Could try making it a bit more atmospheric, though, maybe by adding in some background strings or something of the sort. It could also could use a little more buildup and breakdown. Nonetheless, keep up the good work.

KoMoBeats responds:

Alright man, thanks for the reply. I'll try adding more strings to it.

[Kroshb]

Not bad. I found that kick in the beat really annoying, though. Also, the hihats (if that's what they are) sound kind of loud. Otherwise, not too shabby. Keep up the good work. ^^

[Hi5]

The idea isn't bad. But the intro was much too long and much too repetitive. I don't like how it basically did the same thing for 40 seconds straight, and to be very honest, I was getting kind of bored about halfway through. Try cutting down the length of the intro, make the buildup more dramatic, and maybe throw in some more instruments. It's a good start, though. Keep up the good work. =)

[Chorus Compilation (djbe)]

Not bad. There are three major issues I take with this, though: 1) It sounds a little on the rough side, even for dance music, 2) I found the changes in melody rather abrupt and jarring, and 3) I would have liked to hear a little something in the background. Other than that, it's good. Keep up the good work! =)

[Snapdragon]

The melody is lovely, and the guitar was definitely a good idea. Nice atmosphere you got going there. The synths that kicked in at 0:28 sounded a bit muddy to me, but I guess that's kind of subjective. The strings that took over at 1:23 also sounded slightly off for some reason, and something sounded a bit dissonant in the background during the breakdown at around 2:50. Choir was a bit too quiet IMHO. I'm guessing that this composition is supposed to be rather relaxing, but I do wish that both the buildup towards the ending and the ending itself were a little more dramatic; I find that both were kind of flat. Nonetheless, good job, as usual. Keep it up.
