Espada

As Bleach is coming to a close soon, I felt like I should honour the manga/anime series I have followed for years with another latin style house fusion. It's not great, at least I don't think so, but I'm me, so the real opinion on whether it's good or not rests with you. I did feel really cool with that flute riff because it just sounds epic.


I do hope this pays credit to the Espada because they have to be my favourite group of anime villains of all time due to their eccentricity and just downright awesomeness.

Ooo...I like the Latin theme. You have a good sense of rhythm and harmony. Unfortunately, the strings seem to get very distorted by the guitars. I would suggest working on your Equalizing skills as a priority. Also, this piece doesn't have much in the way of drums, which could really help give it some energy and also help it move forward. You have a sweep at 1:05, but I think you needed a crash to smooth over the transition at :41, and some cool percussion could really help spice up the rather dry texture you have at around :50 - 1:00. It's really easy to tell that flute-like instrument you have playing throughout the second minute of the piece distorts the piano pads and drums. Here's where the Equalizing would come in handy! It's catchy and cool, and I like the upbeat mood. However, there are also long, repetitive sections, such as between 2:45 and 3:20. I didn't think this piece needed to be 4 minutes long. Also, you don't really transition effectively into 3:20. There should really at least be a crash there to smooth it over a bit. Also, I don't know where the bass at 3:40 came from. Generally, I'd advise against introducing new instruments 30 seconds before the end of your piece. This piece has a fun mood and atmosphere, though, and, again, I admire your sense of harmony. It has potential. Compositionally, it's not bad, but learning to mix is an important next step for you. Keep working at it, man! Good luck! ;)

6/10

Literally every problem I highlighted with this was mentioned plus more xD I didn't have enough time to completely fix the piece before submission, so this had a lot of holes in it. All the same, thanks a lot for taking the time to listen to it and leave a review with such attention to detail. I'll be sure to actually remake this with issues fixed now I have the time to spare.

It has a beautiful atmo to it wow just wow :D keep it up and here comes my review i feel the drums are silent and the violins are just the same note but !! dont get me wrong this is good really good just needs some extra touches here and there but non the less good job keep going :D

DeadlyAlchemy responds:

Thanks a bunch :) I'll be sure to touch up on the violins and drums as soon as I can. Much love for the review!
