Hi there! :) I review/criticize tracks on the audio portal in three categories:
- Mixing (Technical part, volume, frequency balance, etc.)
- Composition (Melody, chord progression, intervals, etc.)
- Feeling (Basically what I feel while listening)
Remember, this is all my personal opinion ;) I listen with a Sennheiser 650 HD headphone.
I apologize in advanced for my English :D
Mixing:
In my opinion, this song needs a little bit more mixing. I think this tracks supposed to sound trancy/punchy, and then it is missing the volume of the kick & snare. The snare especially is almost unnoticeable. The kick and the bass are also on the same frequencies, and the results are that the sub section becomes a bit burry / indefinable. Maybe you can look up some mixing tutorials on kick & bass, there is a lot out there on youtube. It would really boost up your track :) Besides that, your track sounds big open and well done with delays & reverbs.
Composition:
Nice melody lines and my compliments on the harmonics. They are pleasant to listen to related with the sounds you chose. Still I have to say, look out that you don’t make it to crowed with synths. But this is also my opinion and a matter of taste :). Awesome chord modulation at 2:28!
Feeling:
This would fit in for a platformer. It gives a active feeling.
Overall opinion: You got the talent!! The song composition is very good, but it lacks the decent skill of mixing. Work on your mixing techniques and it will get a lot better. I look forward for a second version of his song ;)
