[Dive]

genuinely captivating dude

3YEOfficial responds:

thank you man!

[Law of the Jungle]

that 2nd drop is hot. Also the percussive instrumentation in the intro is insanely clean, love it

BoomKitty responds:

Thanks Geoplex!

[Wavering Lead]

Kinda gives me jack stauber vibes with the detune

Aaron-Long responds:

I do like Jack Stauber's stuff!

[Sunlit Ruins]

Gorgeous :D That first minute in particular is some actual magic

3YEOfficial responds:

Thank you!!!

[Derpcat - Crystal Caves]

Yo this is dope. Really like the outro in particular, very pretty :) I wish it was a little more dynamic though. You had no mercy on that master :p

DerpcatOfficial responds:

Ayy thanks and
yes.
i can say for sure rip master XD idk what was going on with my mind there but yes lmao thanks for feedback dawg XD <3

[AfterGlow_Equilibrium]

Hey man

9 minutes is insanely long haha. It's sounding sweet, though - kick and snare are punchy and audible, mix in general is pretty good. As others have noted, it's a bit repetitive at 9 minutes long, but that's more a symptom of the length than the arrangement necessarily. I really like your breakdown around 3 minutes in, sounds really dreamy! I'm especially a fan of your low sweeping supersaw in that part (3:20).

Overall I think this song would be tighter were it a bit shorter, but you're showing off some good ideas in this so far, so keep it up :)

AfterGlowMusic responds:

O MY GOSH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! GEOPLEX!!!!!!!!!!!! HOLY CRAP....I'm speechless. Thank you! U have no idea how much this means to me. That super saw you spoke of was 2 or 3 pads from the plugin GMS in FL Studio that I laid over each other. TYSM for the review, your amazing! <3

[Falling Apple]

Hey dude, your buildups are sounding really nice and your production has improved! I think where you could improve from here would be working on some stronger sidechaining, maybe toning down your master a bit (the choruses/drops are sounding a bit squashed :p) and maybe working on your composition somewhat.

This piece could be a lot stronger with some nicer chords, the way you use them in this song doesn't work as well as it could, I think. This song also has the same issue of no real melodies being present (just a few arpeggios).

For the positive I think you are definitely improving, your buildups are sounding pretty sweet and you are developing the skills to express your musical ideas, so keep at it dude! :)

theapple111 responds:

Thanks for your review, as always. You're helping me out a lot! :)

[Au5 - Arise (Mosaic Remix)]

The master is slammed, but it's not unpleasant, it's exactly what I'd expect in this kind of dubstep. I would take the "it's overcompressed" comments with a grain of salt - though going more dynamic is not necessarily a bad idea in any sense. It is very harsh to listen to, but isn't that the idea? :p

Your sound design is really nice, though I'm not a huge fan of the second drop. That said I'm just not a fan of riddim in general. But I know how to appreciate it.

Great work dude

[Over The Mountains (1f1n1ty Remix)]

Dreamy, adventurous, fun. Love how it feels. That said I think the kick has too much attack for the style of music. It's got a very strong transient that distracts me from the chill aspects of the song. Minor criticism though, this is good!

Onefin responds:

oh hey it's geoplex! hey man how are you

it's probably like the kick i used is an electro kick cuz those are the only kicks i have, but the snare is orchestral and a lot of the instruments are orchestral also :/

anyway thanks for dropping by! glad you liked it :)

[F-777 - Life Is Still Awesome]

Man, I used to listen to the original so much in like... what was it, maybe 2013? I can't remember. This sounds real nice though. Also you're ruling the popular list right now lmao.

I really like the general mix on this one, much more of a focus on lows than a lot of your other recent work. The kick is satisfying and has that low end punch. The middle chorus was a nice mix-up and while this definitely isn't formula-breaking, it's great dude.

The mastering is quite nice too, a bit more restrained than usual it seems :p

F-777 responds:

Thanks so much! Ya im trying to find middle ground this year.
My best songs were cringy mix-wise. Now when i mix things clear people
think i lost something. So im starting to pin it down to the strengths of both
and weaknesses of both :D.

Thanks so much for the review! This year is gonna be nuts. :DDDD
