[Show Me Your Heart]

Whoa this one was a real surprise - so glad you finished this one. Make more! The only thing I would wish to hear in this one is you bringing back some of your guitar playing - that always adds the icing on the cake haha

Mixing/mastering wise - more of a preference but I usually try to dip the center channel low-mid EQ a bit on strings/choirs/brass, so lead voices like the synth at the beginning or harp later on blend in more and sound less like it's standing separately from the rest of the mix. But more of a preference and didn't really affect my enjoyment of the song.

Bosa responds:

It's always good to hear from you! Yes, admittedly my expertise with mixing synth with orchestra is a bit limited, but good to know I didn't completely muck it up lol

[Memories 2 - F-777]

Remember hearing the <1min draft version so many years ago. Is this on Spotify by chance?

[Dusk's Flight]

My favorite part is the escalation at 3:00 - just absolutely sends goosebumps.

[Stellar]

Great job. Loved the piano playing and techno combo - reminds me of some older artists I used to listen to here like NH22 and xstormer1.

Only thing that seems off is the crackling at parts like 1:24-2:00 - not sure if you noticed it. Might be VST buffer settings (ran into the same problem before myself).

[-Sky Fortress-]

Some influence from Paradise on E I hear :P Doesn't detract from the song though

[Harp to Drums]

Wish this was longer - left us hanging with a great buildup

[Gladiators Intro]

These sorts of melodies from you are always too short. Don't leave us hanging! :P
(yeah I know it's a loop but still)

Bosa responds:

A longer track is coming, trust me I have MUCH emotion I need to get off my chest and music is the best form of expression

[Please Forgive Me]

Very nice piece but it comes from a sad place to be. Hope things turn out for the better for you.

Bosa responds:

Things are starting to turn out better, and I am very glad that they are. She needs a little more time to get her mental health back into a good place, which I understand.

[AIM -Dream Island-]

This is really good - has a chiptune feel but with a freshness to it from the other instruments. Esp at 1:10, just sounds like the whole track opens up.

Preds responds:

Thank you man!

[*Lighting Trigger* / ZeRo BaSs]

One of the first tracks I heard on NG and still one of my favorites. Hope to see you come back to producing again some day.
