[Very Authentic Nu Metal]

Was this made with Reaper? :)

Sounds very grudgey, and a bit muddy, but if it is as you say intentional, I guess mission accomplished.

Hits hard, but would be even better with some upgraded drum sounds. Look into distorting the drum sounds and make sure they are out of frequency during guitar grunge for maximum profit.

TinFoi responds:

DAW I used was Reaper yeah, and yes everything was intentional!

[Crush]

This is an absolute bop, slaps hard. Love the chords.

smolrock responds:

Thanks!

[Rutra - Running Away]

Sick song. Great job. I like the chords, good use of major/minor harmonies. Quality. Nice post-drop bass. Really cool second drop with the double timing. Classy.

RutraOfficiel responds:

thank you very much! ;)

[JopJoir - Menu Theme]

Really nice occasional breaks with glitches. Makes a great transition. It's a mysterious and encouraging piece at the same time. I can see this in a technical platformer or racing game.

A four minute loop is pretty beastly, however I believe that the cut between higher sound and lower sound that the intro has makes it loop less well. It's an interesting piece nonetheless.

AdaCoffeheart responds:

Heya! Yeah, it doesn't loop pretty well, I'll try to fix that.
Also thank you for your nice words <3

[Rutra - Velocity]

Lol this are some crazy vibes, love it!

RutraOfficiel responds:

thank you!!!

[Rutra - Prelude]

This is amazing and really loud, love it.

RutraOfficiel responds:

thank you very much! :)

[Imaginary Reality (Soundtrack Mix)]

It's a cool thing to revisit old projects and remaster them. Have you tried recreating an old project with a new set of eyes before? It's amazing to compare an old project to a new one of the same song where you redo the sound design.

I really like the synth introduced at 1:05. Sounds very melancholic and dark. It's a very creative way to use dissonance the way you do it at 0:52 and it comes a surprise and takes you on a turn. Reintroduced at 1:21 as well. I think it's brave to make these kind of decisions.

Logickin responds:

Thank for your review!

I do often remaster or re-work my tracks. In fact, I am currently re-working all the chiptune because after I have revisit my old tracks, I found they were a bit awkward, especially keeping sounds in harmony and controlling the length of the tracks. After I have completed some of those, I always shocked how far I have gone after a couple of years of making music.

If you are curious about my "original" version or some legacy tracks, you may consider:
