[Animal Ravers (NAC March)]

NAC JUDGE REVIEW

It’s a great house track in the background. Ten out of ten as far as the track goes. I feel like you really used your animal samples to the fullest in this. They’re mixed in well, nothing jarring about them. Some competitors seemed to drop the samples on top as an afterthought. No proof you didn’t do that too but your mix skills really put everything together well. It’s not a short song either. If it weren’t for the dragon ball z samples, I’d approve of this in a club setting. Nice fat bass Aydi.

This track goes to a lot of places too. It’s not necessarily a short little thing. You kept this from getting stale. You killed me with that ending though, artist’s apathy. The ending really captured the feeling an artist experiences when they take a long hard look into the mirror and say “I need to stop doing drugs.”

I give this track 18 out of 7 stubbed toes.

[Grim Reaper]

I didn't have expectations walking into this but this genuinely had me laughing half way through. Awesome awkward. Beat by Slap is tight. Good combo :)

Teqneek responds:

Thank you. Even on my most serious, depressing songs I still can't seem to help it, there's always some off the wall funniness in there. Glad you liked it!

[林檎 "Ringo" [Lofi]]

Another goldie D. Only constructive feedback would be that I wanted to hear a snappier, crisper snare but I'm a slob. The bass rolls hard in this. Tight hi hat rhythms. Super chill Scyoc :D

DreamEater responds:

Thank you once again, very much for your kind words :).

It's crazy that you mention the snare tone! I actually had a snappier snare in a previous render of this track, but I pulled it back a little bit because I was worried that It was cutting through the mix a little too much.

Thank you so much for listening and giving such awesome feedback Cory, It is always greatly appreciated. I hope you and the fam are having a wonderful holiday!

[ALL IIIIIII]

hahahahahaha, I loved that bassy switch up at the intro. Really smart music scj. I bet this bangs on some nice big monitors. Unf, 1:09 is fooking huge. Those bass lines make me super happy. Curious, why is this under "dance" when this is clearly progressive drum and bass?

Outro was clean.

[Beacons In The Void]

Dope, the bingo contest has two metal tracks so far. I can tell you had a lot of fun putting this together. Those zooming guitar crescendos were super cool. Well written track Nekro Cat. That piano & drum breakdown later in the song was my fave part. Way to go the extra mile and jump around from program to program. Must have been a tedious process :p

Nekro-Kitty responds:

Thank you; i am glad that you liked it.

I guess it didn't feel super tedious to me, at least in hindsight, because it was just a lot of fun.

[Lighting Another]

Yo, this is some tight metal. Granted I gotta agree with Czy on the highs. The mix sounds super thin. I love throat vocals though. All the writing is good. Drum rhythms and guitar riffs are on point. I'm guessing there is some sort of fidelity FX on those vocals that are tearing up the spectrum? Dunno. That's really the only problem I got. Everything else sounds great love :)

TSRBand responds:

Thanks for the kind words! I do have a lot to learn about performing and mixing vocals and hope to keep improving :)

[The Proud Orchestra of Many Origins]

This was epic Jordan. Reminded me of that old Legend of Zelda vibe. I can practically hear Navi telling me to listen over and over again. Then later I get the vibe that the Deku tree is telling epic stories. Hey, how was the Deku tree so wise when he's basically stuck in one place his whole life? That tree knew way too many things about the world :/

I kind of felt like the last minute was redundant copy and paste but congrats on writing almost seven minutes of dope material :)

[Zebra Duo-Rick and Morty Theme Song (instrumental cover)]

Loved that bass triplet at the beginning. Really sassy track-o-roni. Smooth AF jazz waltz, consensual 3/4 segment 26 seconds. I'd introduce this song to my parents.

sorohanro responds:

Your review is a masterpiece of literature and music theory combined. Thanks for making my day.
