Hey everyone! I made the NGADM bracket this year! This song was created on August 8th just over midnight. I had a ton of fun gathering new ideas and putting them into this song. I hope you enjoy :)

I'm vibing with the intro! It's so danceable lol. Sets a great foundation for the rest of the song with the jazzy chords and the smooth percussion. Everything up to 1:14 is so good in my opinion!

But then 1:14 hits and something is lost that you had before: the grooviness kinda dissipates here and I'm not exactly sure why. It might be because that earlier rhythm disappears until 1:44 which I like, but then we get another transition with a riser before the actual chorus comes back? It feels like the flow of the song is just totally lost between 1:14 and 2:10 tbh. Every section feels very distinct and the transitions between them are pretty sudden in my opinion. The flow comes back at 2:10 and then the outro feels like it should've occurred like at 1:14 with that synth under it instead of whatever happened there.

Mixing wise as well I feel like the strings are too quiet at 2:29 and there should be another instrument there to support them so they aren't alone in the mix like that. The main synth at the choruses are very juicily mixed which is why this probably got the FP regardless of its structural issues. Also there's like this army voice going on that I think should just be removed completely because it is a little distracting and doesn't fit that well. Idk maybe that voice is just omnipresent at casinos, I wouldn't know as I've never been. But yeah anyways thanks for coming out! I look forward to what you'll have in store next year as this has huge potential.

I really appreciate the super in depth feedback! I’m looking forward to next year :)

well alright (^-^)

Very nice to listen to.

Awesome!

Your texturing is great! It is not focused too much on the bass or the treble. Rather it is just enough of both. I like your use of the Amen Break in this song, and this song just radiates happiness and love~

Great work, I'm sure you'll do great in the Audio Deathmatch. You have my best regards.
