Hello! This is a review for the NGUAC competition.
I've gone over one or two general categories of issues specific to your song, and one section of things I think also deserve complimenting. I prefer being very direct with my critique, none of it is meant to offend. Thank you for your understanding!
Constructive Criticism:
- Oh, this vocal tone is so lovely. It actually makes me sad because it's so quiet relative to everything else. I would HIGHLY recommend mixing the vocals slightly louder, so that they're audible over the rest of the music. One thing that can help this is by reducing all your instruments by roughly -10dB before limiting to -1.0dB, so that you can raise up the vocals without needing to raise it above the current well-mastered instruments.
- The first section does get a tad repetitive despite trade-off between the harmonies and vocal chops. Regardless of lyrical changes, it would be phenomenal to even have something like small melodic solos for variation and additional expression to break up the similar harmonies.
Compliments to the Composer:
- I... This track is great. There's not much more I really even want to critique here. The sound design is unique, the lyrics are fresh, the general vibe is just... different. I REALLY like this, and quite honestly will gladly add this to my music library. I greatly look forwards to seeing and hearing what new works you'll come up with in the future!
Final score: 9.7 (Congrats, you're in my top three!)
