I really like what you did with the piano. And the drums add onto the chaotic vibe the melody goes for, although I'd change some parts like around 0:25 it sounds quite off with the claps, I think a more focused pattern, with a much bigger attention on the onbeats would fit better. Also regarding the drums, I think you went too much into the wet reverb with this one. There's no real division into melodies and choruses, which also is an interesting choice. You don't quite know what to expect, and I quite like that in a song like this. The chords also are very fun and jazzy. I think that the change to 4/4 at the end was a good idea, though maybe executed a bit too early. Overall I like it, though I'd still change some things.

{13/8 JUDGING REVIEW}
(please note we are rating score on a scale of 8-13)
Composition: 11.5
Mix: 11
13/8 implementation: 12

Additional thoughts: The progression in this piece is really nice, there's a lot of new melodies to be found the more I listen to it. The change in mode at 0:40 was a bold choice that worked out quite well in this context, although it did seem a tad random. I feel like you could have done a little more variation on the drums, as some a lot of them sound like a variation of a shaker. I would like to hear some OOMPF in those kicks, y'know? I like the calmer part at 1:02 that suits as a transition to the next part. 13/8 is pretty well implemented here, good job at that. Sounds quite natural. Your mixing gets a little lower because there is a lot of wet signal from the instrumentals and they kinda get buried because of that, which I especially notice with the drums. DON'T PUT REVERB ON KICKS RAHHHHH

DaxCamdaxian responds:

I'LL PUT AS MUCH REVERB ON MY KICKS AS I WANT WAHAHAHA 😈

Thanks for listening to my track!
I appreciate the feedback

kinda breakcorey idk

really fun to listen to

My only thing is that 0:36 to like 0:44 is really confusing to me. It feels like its switching between melodies.

youre on a freaking ROLL dude!!

Edit: you're in a competition?? which one??

DaxCamdaxian responds:

Thanks dude! this was an interesting challenge for sure, i composed it first on the acoustic guitar and had only 6 hours to transfer everything to the software i use and add more arrangments, my file got corrupted twice but I managed to finish it just in time for the contest 😎

Edit: in the MH4’s 13/8 Music Competition ✌️

3-3-3-4. Despite being hard to count, this remains a vibe the whole way.

DaxCamdaxian responds:

You nailed the metric, that division was a friend's suggestion, it helped me find the identity of the track, thanks for giving it a listen

this fire dawg
