[Kr1z]

summary.

Dude?
This clips like hell, cracks all the way...
Some proper mixing would definitely improve the track

3 Tips:

-Make sure all ur instruments stay below 0db, a good range for a lead is -6 to 0 db.
-Make sure ur frequency balance is mixed properly, dont put in too much low/ mid / high freq., EQ ur instruments properly so u have a cleaner mix.
-Structure and variation? It's kinda the same tune over and over again.. some build ups and dynamics would be cool.

Anyway, loving the drums :)

4/5

Moltov responds:

Maybe your speakers stink? Sounds good to me, just a little loud.. yeah Ill try to add more variation next time.

Needs touching up

The composition is overall rather catchy and you had some interesting things going on, but it's time you moved away from the presets.

The main issues with this song are technical, you have massive clipping going on or something, there's this constant state of buzzing which means that things are just too loud.

If you still don't know how to master properly, just try turning things down on the mixer track and maybe add Fruity Limiter or Maximus to the master bus. You don't want to use this too excessively cuz it kinda rips off some parts of the song but it might help if you don't want to be to detailed.

If you're really determined to make things loud, add a compressor to seperate instruments on their FX tracks and that way you can make it louder without it clipping.

Seriously this track is...

Amazing, it can be used in so many things. Such a great rendition of it, sure there may be a few flaws with the static, but I still think it's great.

Moltov responds:

Yay ^^

This is only ok

this song really is not that good. not good enough for the top five # 1 position. but congratulations anyway on getting past the bombers. this isnt a bad song just not a very good one.

ok now for my review.

the off beat bass through the song was a good idea, but got old and the saw or square you used in the osc. was hurting my ears. the cover choice was a great idea and you did a good job of reinventing it from a videogame it sounds very complete in composition. the lead was way too distorted and it sounded like it was conflicting with the drums. your mixing isnt the pits but could use improvement.
the little portamento squeely things in the background were ok at first but needed more variation.

yes im disgruntled and this isnt a terrible song im just disappointed in the top five.

nothing against you personally Molotov. your music is good.

Moltov responds:

Thanks.. I agree with you.

Nice work

Well done - but bring your master volume down, its clipping to hell.

Moltov responds:

Yeah, I noticed, it sounded fine in my speakers but I will make sure of that next time.
