Well today I finished composing this song for the NGUAC, well I will explain some details.
It took me about 5 hours.
The main harmony is A minor, but changes to D minor at the 1:20 mark.
He has a slightly odd organ that he believes with the Phatura synthesizer.
The synthesizer and the bass of the principle is made with the SQ8L.
a 2 leads one created in the U-HE TYRELL N6 and the other in the PG-8X.
3 battery plugins:
MT POWER DRUM KIT 2
DRUM PRO
BEAT MAKER SL DRUMS 3
a bellpiano created in SQ8L
some gongs
and finally another lead created this time in the ARMINATOR.
on the bridge adds a single stranger with the organ.
well that's some details, I'm very proud of this song

I like the quirky synths at the beginning, even if the texture is a bit muddy overall. I think there’s a tad too many high frequencies on the synth at :13 - it sounded a bit unpolished. I like the injection of energy at :40, although the harmonic content could use more variety during the first couple of minutes. The melodies at 1:21 are a bit meandering and lack a strong sense of direction. The rhythmic elements at 1:34 are fun, although I’m not sure the harmonies match up completely well. I also would’ve liked to hear some stronger drums during this section; I think the bass may be distorting them a bit in the mix. You could try compressing the drums a bit more, but you’ll also likely have to get stricter with the bass in the equalizer. I would’ve liked to hear a smoother transition at 2:00, but the return to the blissful melodies there was refreshing. The synth at 2:41 sounds particularly thin and clunky, although overall I like most of the instrumental palette in this piece, even if it was a bit cheesy. Overall, I like the melodies, mood, and rhythmic content of the piece, but I think the mixing could use a bit of tightening and the transitions could be smoother. Keep at it, ClitBait! :)
