[Continuum-Metaljonus]

As always, your riffs are insane.
Um...how do you get such a freaking clean mix?!

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks! Getting a good mix is all about getting the sounds right at the source, making sure you don't over-compress and load your tracks with a billion plugins and trying to find the balance between the instruments. Still a big work in progress but thanks! \m/

[Pendulum]

Love the instrumental metal chaos! If I were you I'd turn the reverb on the snare and toms down and maybe beef the kick a bit more. Otherwise, epic song!!

FarFromSundown responds:

Thanks so much!!

[Illusion Of Fear]

Epic song!

MaldivirDragonwitch responds:

Thank you very much!

[Terraria OST - Plantera (DTA Remix)]

Noice! A little more mixing could help, but very well made otherwise. Love your guitar sound.

DanTheAssassin responds:

keep the mixing mostly simple when it's just guitars (I usually have around 3 in the same time, one for the bassline, one as a lead and a secondary for whatever is needed, with the bassline one EQ'd to cut the lowest bits (150 hz or so) and include an acoustic bass, the lead has a bit more cut going to the mids as well since the secondary guitar covers some of that as well for a wider sound as the secondary is mostly mids) but when there's electronic sounds along instruments I do have quite a bit of trouble mixing stuff together). If you have any tips feel free to message, I'd really appreciate but do keep in mind I use stuff that are getting old by now (Shreddage 2 and Kontakt 5)!

[Badlands]

Thise riffs are so good! Sound like Haste the Day or August Burns Red or maybe even Phinehas.
Those strings are super cool!

Metaljonus responds:

Thanks!

[Phase Splice]

O.O
This is kinda epic, very buzzy, love it...super super dark.

Sinthology responds:

Hehe

[The Force]

Well mixed and high intensity. You did a good job with variation and with keeping the energy throughout. Feels like you used a lot of presets and/or loops, DEFINITELY sounds like oldschool dubstep.

MafiaPineapple responds:

Actually, I made nearly everything by myself. Only thing I didn't make from scratch were the drum samples and what not. :D

[Another demo I won't finish V2]

Nice sound design, I love your snares.

SASKID responds:

That means a lot. Drums get a lot more attention to sound right than most people think :D

[Final Horizon [Instrumental]]

Nicely done! This one's really heavy!

TSRBand responds:

Thanks for tuning in happy you liked it!

[Plum Planet]

Different, love it!

softable responds:

Yeas, I tried something different, tysm!!!
