I think few here have access to studio to record in. But it is lovely to hear some variations; there is a lot of electronic and cinematic entries. I like the humor, the irony in the "glad party summer rock" wibe I get from the song prior to the art. I listened to all the entries and your song in my opinion is within the top 15 at least! good luck!

I hear you are aiming for something similar to bossanova ish. That is lovely sounding theme you got for you in this song. Its sounds great man. I listened to all the entries and your song in my opinion is within the top 17.5 at least! Keep it up, and good luck!

Hmm, no bossa nova wasn't really what I was going for. I can see where you are coming from though.

Lovely to hear someone that make a good house/dance mix. For those clipping, try to lower the resonance on the filter. You could apply a clipper before applying mastering for your mix. It prevents the clip sounding compressed. But away with the technicality. I like the progression. Has kinda "gets you going", or "get exited". I listened to all the entries and your song in my opinion is within the top 18 at least! Keep it up, and good luck!

Retro yo! Love those synths. They are really 80's feel. Also something you could hear in Mass Effect. I think purple works well to the song, as well the art too. I listened to all the entries and your piece in my opinion is within the top 12.5 at least! Keep it up, and good luck!

I just watched IP man. And then I come here and listen to this that reminds me a lot to Chinese music. I like that you composed different moods, or parts. The song fits well to the art. The mix could have some more bass to fill out the low frequencies to get more depth in the song. Also I am hearing is a C major and a C minor at the same time at the end, if you listen closely. I hope that was not in purpose. The song is good besides from that.

Anyway, I listened to all the entries and your piece in my opinion is within the top 15 at least! Keep it up, and good luck!

Thanks a lot for the review and the constructive critique. Yeah about the mix I actually did the song in my brothers laptop with some really cheap headphones because I was on vacation and when I arrived at home and listened to the song I noticed that but I already upload it.

I didn't noticed the last chord error maybe I accidentally put a E flat on the wind section. I am planning on making an extended version of the song so thanks a lot for spotting those errors.

Thanks a lot.

This reminded me of Radioactive - Imagine dragons. But when I searched up ad compared the songs, they fall quite different. I do not know why it reminded me. Other than that, I like the progression. The emotions could I imagine is from a futuristic game. Nothing much to say for the mixing either. Maybe a little less distortion on the bass in the intro. But overall its a good work!

I listened to all the entries and your piece in my opinion is within the top 13.5 at least! Keep it up, and good luck!

Souldran responds:

Awesome, thanks for the feedback! Since the deadline got extended a bit I'm probably going to redo the outro and play with the mix a tad, so hopefully it'll be even better.

Haha, the intro reminded me like a old dial-up modem! You have here a short chipstep song. The mix is great, but I think it falls a bit short. If you had little time prior to the deadline, I understand! Good luck man!

Quarl responds:

I threw this together in a couple of hours. I could fix it up but given the priceless piece of fine art this song is based off of...

yeah fuck it.

This reminds me a lot of The Witcher 2 in game atmospheric music. Search up some footage and see/hear for yourself. The transitions flows nice and the library/sounds are pretty good! Love the melody! And the vocals sounds authentic, and so do the ethnic instruments. In the terms of arranging, melody and the composition I have no bad thing to say. Just beautiful.

The mixing however there is some tiny small adjustments that could be done. My suggestion is: the intro synth/stings needs a tiny frequency cut at about 400hz, and the flute about 1300hz. Nothing much; like 3db. It's a very subtle thing. I notice tiny details like that, that is my curse! You get highest score from me nontheless.

10/10, 5/5. Keep up with good work. See ya around!

Bosa responds:

I've never played The Witcher 2 myself, nor have I played the first one. However, I heard good reports about the games.

Thank you for the suggestions and review, my friend!

This is one of the better in the competition! And the best of your entries as well. I associate this song, and the art as well, with Age of Empires! Has that kind of wibe. I dont know if you purposely added some glitch in the mix, but I like this piece of music nonetheless. keep making music! And good luck.

Emid responds:

Thank you very much for your kind words. Yes the art piece has AoE type of vibe and I really like samulis work. I liked that glitch in the guitar notes which is showing closeness to real if you are pointing towards it. Good luck to you as well. Yours is awesome too :)

Well since you were kind and write me a review. I'm not often hear or produce much Industrial, so I have little knowledge about different sub-genres. It may be some called steam-punk or gritty. I guess there is a genre called creepy. And here goes!

This is very Interesting. As a piano player you did not play the most advanced progression, and I think that is what needed. (Never play more than needed ;) ). The devil chord is creeping out the song, which fits the art well. The amount of effects used is not to much as well. This is a kind of song that not builds much up, as the modern electronic does.

I can not say much bad for the mixing. You cleaned the mix pretty much up good. The one thing you can add more is distortion. It fits the industrial aspect. Find a good one for your song and add some on the master channel and or all channels.

Else keep up the music making. And good luck on the competition!

Quarl responds:

ahahaha, thanks man. I usually get a hard time for using too much distortion but it's nice to see someone encourage it for a change. Also: tritones ftw.
