A short battle-themed song in the style of something you'd find on an RPG. It's a bit repetitive, but I think it works for what it's for. It's not exactly "Heavy-Metal", but there was no plain "Metal" genre, and I figured that this was the closest I was going to get.

Nifty...

I like it.

the guitars have a really cool groove to them. And the riffs are upbeat and straightforward, which is good for the type of song you are going for.

Now the solo I'm not so sure about. I'm not trashing your skills on the guitar, but I'm not sure it all fits well with the type of song you are creating. The first half of the solo didn't do it for me. The second half after ths choir break did though. That half of the solo was a lot better.

The drums are ok, but could be better. Not a lot to say on them, except EQ and compress them some. Then raise 'em up in the mix a bit. ;-)

The synth lead it pretty cool, but isn't loud enough in the mix. But that leads me to the biggest issue. The mixing. The guitars are WAY to overpowering in the song. They drown out all the upper register stuff in this song. I would lower them a tad, then EQ the song. And when EQ'ing the song, I'd raise the mid to high ranges a little. That should really help out the overall mix a bit.

But really overall, this is pretty good.

4/5 and 8/10 overall. I liked this bud. You should make some more in the future. :-)

Thank you for the criticism. I have no problem admitting that I'm terrible at mixing, and I agree with you completely. I also had no idea how over saturated the bass was either. I'm actually going in to the studio tomorrow to test out new ways of mic-ing an amp.

Yeah, also no argument about the drums. Total Reason sound bank, and straight midi step-sequencing there, and an 8 bar loop. I would record the drums myself, me being a fairly decent drummer myself, but again, everything I directly record ends up sounding muffled.
Thanks.

LOL

That was awesome. :D

The synths were pretty spiffy. Drums were pretty right as well. The guitar work was simple but effective.

9/10 5/5.

Xanmar responds:

Thank you very much. I know you know this, but I really like your [Make No Mistake] song, and I look forward to hearing more from you.

Also, did you accidentally give me a 10 instead of a 9, like you said? :)

boss battle.

The monk sound gives it a bit of an epic feeling. This is a boss battle theme if i've ever heard one. really, good work on this song.

Thank you very much.

Nice

I liked it, but try not to use the high-pitch Gregorian monk chant anymore.
P.S. Love the Guitar Solo!!!

Xanmar responds:

Thanks. The monk chant, thought, was one of the only remotely acceptable sample files in Reason. :/
But yeah, I agree with you, it isn't the greatest sounding.
