NAC JUDGE REVIEW
You would have scored well with those amen break samples. I can probably guarantee that I’m the only judge with an amen break tattoo.
Those animal samples sound tossed on top though. The rhythms are so intricately programmed that you had it in you to plug those animals in with some more creativity. That bark could have been put on a sampler, patched through an arp, then pitch bent like a Squarepusher pad line ripping 32nd notes. Filtered with some heavy reverb a dog arp could probably fill up a lot of space as a pad too.
Since the samples feel so tossed on top it’s hard for me to judge this as highly as a few of the others. The jungle made me super happy though.
I thrust your song 4 out of 12 nachos
