MAC Oct Christmas Review

This is a MAC Oct Christmas Review for your song Snowman Dance.

Ok lets start things off with the positive features. the main theme was pretty good and the song flowed well. the breakdowns were nice, as they offered a little variety. the drums kept it going throughout most of the song too.

Things you need improvement on.
First off, the guitar just doesn't sound right here, but i guess its about preference. it also peaks at some places.

th breakdown with your synth and guitar would soung so much cooler if you used the filter and some panning effects. i would have enjoyed it more.

Your song was also all treble. Bass is needed badly to give it some contrast. running bass lines would work really well here.

lastly, the end cuts off in order to have it loop back to the beginning. while this is ideal for flash, or even NG in general, as a regular song, its a nightmare. a nice breakdown to the ending would be nice.

and as a Christmas Song, it has a lot of potential, but it just doesnt cross the boundary of being a full blown Christmas song.

heres the nitty gritty
9.6/10 Originality - 100% you im assuming, but one of the synth runs sounded familiar. maybe its me...
8.4/10 Clarity - it peaks in some areas, hurting my ears.
9.3/10 Diversity - techno? yea i guess so
8.8/10 Effort - you probably work on this for more than 10 min, so thats good
8.6/10 Appeal - catchy tune, but still needs a better of mix than just 2 instruments.
8.2/10 My Personal Score - not bad, but it needs to be worked on still.

Adjusted MAC Overall Score - 76
