Hurray song, booooo description…

But seriously, too repetitive.

Hello! This is a review for the NGUAC competition.

I've gone over one or two general categories of issues specific to your song, and one section of things I think also deserve complimenting. I prefer being very direct with my critique, none of it is meant to offend. Thank you for your understanding!

Constructive Criticism:

- So, the first thing I would say is that the bell sample should probably stop at least for some time outside of just the drop's first half. The fact is, it sounds like a single sample that's been pitched up and down - when repeated notes play or it plays isolated, it sounds very harsh and the repetition can be unpleasant. This is a sample and mixing issue - the initial attack is very sharp, but it also doesn't seem to have any variance in velocity. Also related to this mixing, your bass is fantastic in the drops (albeit very repetitive), but seems to have variable volume which sounds due to similar frequencies in the kick drum.

- Every single drop in this song is almost exactly the same. Same chord progression, melody, volume, and instrumentation. This actually reduces the impact of each drop in the end, especially with the length of time they last for. What would help this is, at least, making the second drop a "B" section with a different chord progression and perhaps a different intensity. You certainly do keep the breakdowns different to a reasonable extent, even though the bells often stay the same, and the chord progression remains identical as it does through every section.

Compliments to the Composer:

- I really do like the bell melody even if the sample is a tad harsh, and the breakdown at 2:39 is excellent, it's the most unique of each of them. Very good as a breakdown to use that kind of filter. The glitch ending is also very excellent, and the bass distortion during your drops is quite nice, lending a lot of energy to those sections.

Final score: 6.8

I really love that bass. The bells sound spectacular with that melody, also the fall sounds very good, this sounds perfect for an energetic platform game, but the kick drum sounds very little in certain parts, I really liked the equalization that you applied in 2:40 gives it a touch Very interesting contrast and the glich ending is very good to end this song. nice job.

bring on the evi l >:O also nice song :)
