[Fleeting Moments (demo)]

I’m a sucker for heavenly vocals, and they go well with the main instruments. I don’t know how I feel about the drums though, they almost feel a little too fast. This has some nice potential, good work 👍

pitbulljones responds:

Thank you so very much. This really is just an exercise trying out new strings and vocal synths. However unlikely I am to return to this, you never know....inspiration is a funny one.

[Sheen]

I think the intro is good, introduces enough to keep me interested in a timely manner. I feel like those pads at 1:06 are a little out of sync as in they don’t seem to mix super we’ll with the rest of the track, but they’re still ok. Another thing you might consider is playing around with the velocity on the drum kicks and other elements, a little bit of variation in that area can make your track more interesting. I’m a sucker for deep synths so I really like your choice on the bass instrument you chose.

I don’t know the context of this track, but I could see this as some background music in a pretty chill game, like when you’re exploring a city or something. Good work.

[Dreams Never End (1st mix)]

I like this. Super chill and nice for a day when you just want to sit back and relax. Like what ImCold said, it could use some more bass, but this is still really nice the way it is. 👍

pitbulljones responds:

Thank you :) Will be posting a new mix soon.

[don't get too tired of it]

Woah! the beginning is so abrupt, but it is a loop so I understand why. The whole song is really loud and sounds very close, but you did “open FL Studio and do whatever” so I understand it's probably not mixed or anything yet.

You may consider putting the instruments on lower octaves to give it a deeper and more ‘bossy’ feeling, but I suppose this depends entirely on the boss you’re writing this for.

Overall this really does feel like a boss theme. For what it is, it's good, I can imagine desperately trying to avoid all those unfair boss attack moves while listening to this.

[Covid 19]

Lol this is pretty funny. Good rhythm, nice work.

[Time Flies(Loop)]

Nice drums, good melody. This is a great loop. I can totally see it in a space game when you’re just chillin inside a spaceship exploring. If this is the context you were planning to use it in, I think it works perfectly.

Nice work!

ScottJacob responds:

Thank you!

[Devil Toys 2020]

This has a good melody, good drums with a nice kick. Interesting buildup. I felt like the drop could have had more energy, a higher pitched more complex instrument or something. I like the ending a lot! Leaves kind of an ominous feeling.

Overall its a nice solid track, but I felt like it could have some more energy. However, that may not be what you were going for.

Nice job 👍

What is the context by the way?

kronosxl responds:

Okay
the context of devil toys is that I started to compose music
on my first time 3 years ago
when I published the work it was already 00:00 in the morning
And I had a horrible puppet that always scared me
and then one thing came to another and hence devil toys 8)

[A Piece of Your Own Mind (Demo)]

Good beat and drums... interesting soundscape... the little electric buggy sounds give it a robotic feel. Has a nice atmosphere, but I don't know where its leading. 👍

pitbulljones responds:

Than you mate :)

[Song for Rhona (pitbulljones)]

This is interesting. Not quite sure what I feel though... My favorite part is around 2:00 with the female voice. Good stuff!

pitbulljones responds:

Thank you. Glad you found something to enjoy.

[Prodigy]

I’ve never heard music quite like this, but I like it! My favorite part is at 1:10 when that drop sound takes over for a bit. This is some pretty interesting and cool music, man. Very atmospheric. Nice work.

Midnights-Ocean responds:

Glad you like it. One of my primary goals has always been uniqueness. There's so much great music in the traditional genres. I want to do something different.

Thank you! That's my fave part too :3. Please share the link with your friends.
