[Jamuary 2nd - Break Something]

As someone who has used LMMS before, I'm honestly shocked you pulled THIS out in that program since it's pretty simplistic, the mixing is on the spot, I really like what you did with it. I don't have much to say, it's very solid. I like how peaceful it gets by the end

[Mirror of the future]

So yeah you're gaining a follow because I deffinitely won't remember to check january2034 on a daily basis, I love the fact that you already went full on with this. The songs itself is pretty good I have to admit, although the strings and drums are not mixed perfectly, I think I can get behind it. I would probably make the whole thing quieter about 1:20 in to make the main melody, well main. The drums are overall too loud, I like the basis, the melody is great. Just once again some polish would be needed

DaxCamdaxian responds:

Thank you very much for your comments, I already made some corrections to the mix

Also thanks for inspiring me to give this twist to this year's jamuary, the fact that it's 2034 makes it more interesting, I'll be doing all my tunes from a futuristic approach

[HIGH ROLLER ANTHEM]

It's funny, although my tiredness from listening to all the other jamuary compositions definitely brought the experience down. It's one of the only songs that I had no issues with on day 1, and it's a definite highlight. I'll return to this one tomorrow to see if my opinion or grade changes, I don't love it but I definitely like it.

[JNCO (Day - 1)]

I know this is unrelated but boy listening to all of day 1 songs at the same time was definitely a wild experience, the first few songs were very good, then like 20 decent or straight up bad ones (there were exceptions) and now the last 3 or 4 have been once again great, this being one of them
I'm too tired to really explain anything, I JUST REALLY LIKE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS ONE. The bass, the effects, the drums and such. Gives me vibes of that one Sonic Adventure 2 samba song

[Let's See]

At first I thought the samples you used were not well chosen, later on it definitely was better, although I still feel like it may mash too much together at some parts, It's gonna be tiring to the ear after a few re-listens, also don't know what's Jazz about it, and the lack of harmony or anything definitely didn't help, Summing up everything it's pretty good.

[Steppe]

Yeah it's nice, Really like the triple sixteenth notes in the background the melody on it's own has a nice flow to it, and builds up nicely.

[Start Over (Jamuary2024: Day 1)]

I love the vibe this one gives off, for me house either really falls flat or is magical, which I feel like here it is the latter, I love the mixing on this one although the drums could be about a 0.5dcb quieter, but that's just nitpicking. I don't have much to say, it feels yours and I respect that.
edit: yours as personal, also I put it on in the background and I just forgot it was running, it may be because I'm so tired but still, really enjoyed it

[Chasing thoughts [Jamuary 2024]]

The mixing could definitely use some work, as the main instrument is definitely too loud. the melody is fine but nothing outstanding, Maybe that's because I've been listening to other Jamuary songs for the last hour and boy are there worse out there, I like it well enough, it just has it's problems and the idea itself while could use maybe some tempo down and longer melodies, I can see there's the limited framework, so I guess it's fine. Just please keep wake of the mixing since that seems to be the main issue here and overall in most compositions I've listened to (under the jamuary2024 tag)

[Jamuary 1st - I Woke Up Late :(]

Yeah like you said, the mixing definitely could be improved on, because oh god is it not pleasant how loud the saw is, like that fact alone throws the whole thing for me out
