[camsn8ke - The gift machine]

An interesting title for a song with such grit. The mixing is great and the sampling is on point! There were moments where the break seemed to cut off or pause momentarily, off beat, before starting up against—maybe stretching or extending the sample there could help tie up those loose ends.

Hey, thanks for the advice! I'm a noob, (ive been using fl for about 8 months) and I forgot about that until I saw your comment. On future uploads i'll try to fix that. I know what you mean.
Thanks a lot for the advice!

[teaser of the nasty songs by the nasty man]

Already from the start I can hear that nasty, gritty tone! The distortion on the kick at the beginning already set the tone, and the levels on the later elements followed through. I was a little off-put by the tempo change though—the tempo of the kick suggested a gabber feel, but the drop suddenly switched back to a house tempo. Given the energy from the start, I'd recommend keeping this song at a high tempo to maintain the frenetic feel before the drop.

[happy tune of happiness]

Simple loop and a groovy beat! The notes of the bass and the piano seem to clash harmonically—if you're using F Major, you could try checking that your bass notes lie on the F Major scale, or vice versa for the piano.

[Warp]

Those synths have a ticklish on my feel, and the bass rubs so smoothly on my ears, even when it gets filthy and rough. I can definitely see where the warp comes from :)

[Bass Drop]

Interesting experimental use of a hoover synth as the drop, and an intriguing, IDM-esque melody as well. However, I don't hear the bass as much—the pitch of that hoover is a tad too high.

[The Citadel]

This sounds so chill yet groovy at the same time! All the synths, meld harmoniously with the mix, and the drums still pack a punch without overwhelming the other instruments. If you could just limit some of the peaks (shown on the waveform) and increase the dynamics a little, then we could hear this song's glory with the full dynamic range!

Thank you! :D
