[~SW~ 2]

I really love the slow buildup of this track. The instruments use the stereo space so nicely, just as I've come to love from ambient music. I think when the percussion comes in, its rather lackluster, the snare doesn't seem to fit into the mix. Near the latter parts of the track it also starts feeling over compressed or limited.

Overall however, I really enjoyed this track. It flowed nicely and left me feeling content. Great job, i'll be checking out more of your stuff :D

Hey, dude! Thanks for dropping a review!

The percussion was honestly something that I just felt like making. Wanted to experiment with distorted drums in this. I agree I could have gotten it to fit a bit better into the mix. Truth be told, this mix didn't have quite as much effort in it as some of my other work, possibly because this piece wasn't one with too much effort in it in general, haha! Oh well - that's the kind of criticism I expect when I just make stuff for the sake of making something rather than developing an idea that I really 'felt'.

Either way, thanks for the review! :) I'm glad that it's at least decently good, that's generally a good baseline to have!

[Xtrullor - Jnana]

My body is ready for a new era of Xtrullor.

[Vapor]

This song pleases me aurally.

Lockyn responds:

You please me in all the ways bb

[Volt]

This has the most fantastic intro <3

Theres a certain sharpness to the mix however, you might want to take a look at the eq in your high end and make sure everything has its own space.

Lockyn responds:

hi bb <3 yes, you mentioned this to me before right? Will do mate

[Xtrullor - Event Horizon]

This song is fantastic, one of the most unique dubstep tracks I've heard in a while. All of the crazy rhythms in this somehow manage to work together without sounding disorganized. The bass design is stellar, the melodies are perfect, and alltogether it is very polished.

If I were to say anything negative about this track, its that the drums could be mixed better. In the verses the snare isn't as present as it could be, and the low end is a tad muddy, but other than that this track is perfection!
