Sounds good, but you could try to master your tracks some more, Some sounds sound off and some are to loud or a bit irritating, like the bass i don't know if that's intended but it just doesn't sound quite good. I really like the drop, really original.

I never actually mastered them... I actually have no idea what your talking about. Master means?.... And again. I never took a music class or other s***, So I wouldn't doubt if things were 'off'.

Mastering is,
Creating a production master for replication Achieving an optimal balance of tone and level Top/tailing and sequencing Fixing any outstanding problems from your mix/your song Making your music sound the best it can be, improving the quality of the song
i also never took classes lol, just watched some tutorials on youtube
My attempt at chiptune with a flare of my own added to it

yo first of good song :>, also it looks like you pick a lot of stuff from sample packs not there's something wrong with that since it all fit's really good together. The snare that you add on 0:53 doesn't really sound good with the rest of the music so i'd change that if i were you, pretty random song overall but i like it :3 My attempt at chiptune with a flare of my own added to it
Woow i love it! really deep and it sounds great, i'd expected the music to 'breakout' so i waited for the music to come out, but it stayed deep all the time so i'd change that, do you get what i mean?

Thanks for the feedback, man, yeah, I did use a lot of different sounds, although I did try to reuse a lot of the already added sounds, just used in different sequences, hopefully people caught that haha
also, now that I listen to the snare it does seem a bit too "big" for the song, if that makes sense haha

Well, you guys, this stuff is kinda... what I expect from people who make electronic music and know next to nothing about theory.
For one it sorta sounds like you just threw a bunch of random s*** together, especially some of the stuff on page 7. There's no adherence to key or anything so your bass line sounds like complete a** when combined whatever you place above it. I mean it doesn't take much more than a musical ear to hear something and say "wow this sounds like s*** when put together."
Nixter, on the chiptune ones I know you're going for that whole trance thing where something is repeated 1000000000 times and then changes to something else that is repeated 10000000000 times, but too much repetition is bad (minimalism is trash and not an art form). Furthermore, if you wanted to repeat something that much, it better be interesting, because unless I'm high as s*** (as most people who go out and listen to trance are usually), I'm going to get bored very quickly and just leave. The rule of thumb is repeat twice at the most, every time after that if must be significantly different in some way. It's not set in stone, you can break it, but things lose their appeal and novelty every time the listeners hear them.
Aside from that I can't pin down my remaining criticisms. It's a lot of "this s*** doesn't sound right" or "these sounds do not work well together."
good quality control for your music: if you wouldn't pay for an album full of it, don't post it
maybe this thread wouldn't exist
