Beginning is giving strong Toby Fox vibes. Love the ambience you got going on. At around 0:28 the sample cuts off early and for a moment there's no sound playing, which kind of kills the ambient mood you had going.

Following section is nice, I would've liked to hear some more building off of the previous section, because they sound almost exactly the same. Again there's that brief moment of silence going into the next section which I don't like, but the drums make up for it; they go pretty hard. They get a bit repetitive after a while, and a cool melody line or something could really hit that last section home. Transition to the ending feels quite rushed, and once again there's that annoying brief silence going into the outro, which I do enjoy but wish it was less disconnected with the rest of the track.

Overall, you did a good job with this one, but struggled with arrangement a bit. There's three distinct sections, but they all feel disconnected from one another and could benefit from some cool drum fills or FX. 7.8/10. I look forward to hearing more of your works!

GaryGilbenson responds:

Thank you so much for the genuine criticism, I really appreciate it!
I get what you're saying, and yeah I agree, the sections don't flow into each other as well as I thought at first.
And yeah, you caught me, I had no idea what I was doing with the drum fill at the end lmao
I think I was going for something cool but horribly executed it.
Toby is one of my greatest inspirations, and I'm glad it shines here.

Yeah the other guy is right this is good SCP-3008 ambience

I like how you kept adding new lead elements to keep things interesting, while keeping the same accompaniment in the bg. Fav part is around 1:39 when you introduce that weird reversed sample thing, and I'd actually like to have heard it used more because I think it really fits the mood of the track. Well done, Mr. Black!

BusanBlack responds:

Thank you. I didnt really know anything about SCP-3008 but I looked up some music and it sounds awesome.

[Descent into Madness 2]

Cinematic and beautiful. Well done!

Tangerine responds:

'Preciate it!

[Aria math bootleg]

Very nostalgic! Few things to point out is that at 0:45, the rain sample you had playing in the back stops and the whole track loses life for half a second. I think you shoulf keep it playing throughout the track to maintain that ambience.

Piano is nice, little mechanical and could use some dynamics. Don't mind it though. Ending section is climactic and chill, rain foley comes back which is good and the synth lead is refreshing. The outro feels rushed and ends very abruptly.

All in all, solid aria math ripoff. Just needs some polishing. Nice work!

RunoNG responds:

Thank you for feedback ❤

[Cloudtop Stadium]

Yo that visualizer is fire nice work man!

ThePhreshPhrog responds:

Thank you! The visualizer is ALMAMPlayer, which is pretty simple to use and offers a decent amount of customizability as well. There's a bunch of VGM composers I like on Youtube who use it a lot. Definitely recommend checking it out if you ever are in need of some cool visuals.

This is a bop nice job

RobloxgangLeader456 responds:

THANK YOIU

[wishedbbq - Never Again]

aint no way you dont like posting on NG this place is the best man

The whole mix is super clean and this whole thing in its entirety is awesome. Well done, I will be sure to post this to the Audio Frontpage Suggestion forum. You and I should totally collab sometime btw

RobloxgangLeader456 responds:

yoooo thanks for enjoying the whole track!!

i am still not used to posting to new grounds but i dont really like how u cant put multiple audio files in one project, you really have to like upload each one individually. Another thing is probably me adjusting the covers for each song but thats just me cherry picking.

for the mix there couldve been a LOT of things that couldve been like a bit tweaked for the most part, like the bass or the harder kicks at the end of the track or really just making the joe swanson "nononono" a bit louder but thats just me cherry picking again

about the collab im totally down for one! just like, shoot me a message when you can. and again thnx for liking the sonnngggggg
