[Estrella]

this is the second track that I've listened to where you said you aren't happy with it, and it blew me away in more than one way lmao

larrynachos responds:

I wouldn't say that I think it's bad, but I just think it wasn't anywhere near it's full potential. I'm glad you liked it!

[The Descent Of A Champion (NGUAC Finals Rank 23)]

straight up fire, this would really fight in some over the top pokemon romhack where the final champion has the whole weather trio in his arsenal

Interloping responds:

I'd be lying if I said I wasn't heavily inspired by the bouncy, catchy scales that Junichi Masuda has whipped up over the decades. I'm glad a pokemon battle is what came to your mind, as a personal dream of mine is to write a track for a pokemon game.

Although I do think weather teams are just obnoxious to play around, and swift swim was rightfully banned about 10 years ago ;-;

[Conductor - NGADM Round 2 & NGUAC Finals!]

High quality stuff all around man. Really reminds me of Life by melodysheep, has some similarish vibes

GameBoyFireworks responds:

Thank you so much! I'll be sure to check that song out. Excited to hear it!

[apocalypse keeper]

The first time I listened to your track I didn't notice you made it with MuseScore, despite that, most of my problems with the song are the mixing and sound selection. The drums sound fairly basic and could use some compression while the other sounds are dry and simple. I like the slight buildup and fade in at 01:24 to 01:30 but it gets pretty repetitive. The melodies themselves and the idea isn't bad, which is why I gave your track a score of 6.5/10. Sorry you didn't make it past the first round, but don't let it discourage you since you show a lot of potential:)

thnx

[D4 - Aerodynamix]

Great metal track, very professional sounding overall. Only thing I can critique on is that I think it'd be great to have some drum fills throughout to ocasionally spice things up, as well as help transition and move the song forward. The outro is definitely very unexpected, but other than that it's a very solid song. My final score is 8.5/10, good luck forwards:)

D4W1LL13 responds:

Thanks so much for listening! I will keep note of what you've said!

[Ev]

From 01:10 there's definitely some compelling melodic ideas and they sound straight out of some old nintendo game, however it feels incomplete and It's rather unmixed. The arpeggio is a very nice addition, but until you polish your sounds, mixing and melodic ideas together more I can't give you more than a 6/10. Don't let that get you down though, with some more practice you could make some amazing tracks, since it seems you are capable of having some pretty beautiful melodies!

[Contact]

Although you could use some slightly better mixing in terms of EQs and compressors, this is an all-around captivating synthwave/disco song, and the melodies make up for it. This definitely has vgm vibes throughout. I would also look into some reverb/delay play, maybe some automations to keep things interesting without actually adding more melodies on top of each other. My final score is 8/10, good luck fowards:)

[Chicada - Godspeed (Original Mix)]

This track is a very well mixed, in my opinion top tier trance track. The acid bass is great and the breakdown that eventually culminates into 02:58 features some interesting changes. The only thing keeping me from giving this track a higher score is the relatively slow pacing and lack of additional melodies/ear candy to give it variety (except the change from the breakdown, which also stays the same until it goes back to the main beat with the acid bass at 04:00). My final score is 8.5/10, not bad at all!

[The Flutes World]

The peak of the track at 0:48 is great and does a lot right in terms of composition for the emotions you were going for, although the beginning of the track is way too long and simple. My gripe with it is that it's not very consistent, I would have liked to hear something that progresses steadily and immerses you. That being said, the sound selection is great and I'm hoping to hear more from you :). My final score is 8/10
