[4KKoRD - "Illusion" (NGUAC 2024)]

The intro is a little mediocre imo EXCEPT for the piano! The drop makes up for it tenfold though! AND it includes the piano! (I enjoy piano in case you didn’t notice…)
Nice. Gl!

4KKoRD responds:

Sorry, I didn't have any ideas how to make an interesting predrop, so now we have what we have.
Btw, I glad you liked the drop and piano parts! Thanks!

[Recheck [NGUAC '24 KO]]

Goes hard.
What more must I say?

Good luck in the Guac’, but I don’t know how this won’t get through! I’ll be against you actually, and I’m pretty scared against this kinda quality!
Nice.

Kz-N responds:

damn bro thanks, best of luck to all truly i dont really expect to come with anything out of this lol

btw i honestly think you put more effort in your submission than i did mine so you'd deserve it mroe

[BeepBox-Song 79]

so goofy and silly
I wouldn’t call it messy
Really fun to listen to
Reminds me of a lil bug that always randomly shows up in games, like Oocoo (however you spell it) from Zelda Twilight Princess….. up until 1:38 when it’s all spooky!!?? I love that part!
Nice.

DoTeRqwe responds:

Thats such a nice comment, thank you! :D
and thank you for listening :)

[Hidden Castle]

The mix isn’t perfect but I love the ideas
I think I’d turn down the drums lots to really bring out the melody. Think ab what you want the listener to focus on. I really love the melody but the drums just ruin it a bit for me, they feel really messy and loud.
I love that you’ve listed all your inspiration!
cool

Litestar13 responds:

Thanks, ill try not to make the drums too overbearing in the future :D

[ELYTREX - THE FUNGLE (Official Audio)]

Some of the piano doesn’t fit in the first section imo
It’s like the key signature is mixed between the different instruments. Maybe I’m crazy lol.
Otherwise, bangin!

DJRadiocutter responds:

This was a pretty experimental track using lots of glitch and pitching effects - I made sure to keep the piano in key, it was kind of meant to sound a bit like a vibraphone, to emphasize the jungle theme, but i can definitely see how it might not fit exactly into the mix 🤔.

Thanks for the review!

[Saved Too]

kinda breakcorey idk

really fun to listen to

My only thing is that 0:36 to like 0:44 is really confusing to me. It feels like its switching between melodies.

youre on a freaking ROLL dude!!

Edit: you're in a competition?? which one??

DaxCamdaxian responds:

Thanks dude! this was an interesting challenge for sure, i composed it first on the acoustic guitar and had only 6 hours to transfer everything to the software i use and add more arrangments, my file got corrupted twice but I managed to finish it just in time for the contest 😎

Edit: in the MH4’s 13/8 Music Competition ✌️

[Isalick34 - Ran Out of Building Materials]

THIS SLAPS
its like a haunted mansion stage in a puzzle game
actually awesome and probaby my new fave song of yours

actually bangin

(Note: most of your songs are using the same synths a lot so i'd love to see you try varying them a bit more (but this one isnt so bad with that aspect youve been CREATIVE))

Isalick33 responds:

lol actually the main lead synth is from LABS, I've been trying to use some different instruments

[X3ll3n - Eternal Dance (NGUAC 2024 Knockout Round)]

Not my cup if tea but I appreciate it
I also think the chipmunk sounding voices are a lil goofy

X3LL3N responds:

Not the chipmunks again D:

[What a Clowny Day]

The bass is actually stereo madness what

Very goofy and jolly

The synth in the right ear that comes in at 0:35 is too loud imo

1:11 slaps, I want more of that!!! I think the snare made it loads more interesting, like it was building up to something

Definitely good videogame bg music!

DaxCamdaxian responds:

I fixed the volumen now, thank you! :)

[Melody Adventure]

Really cool! Great to see you making stuff again!

y9x responds:

thank you! and yea this wouldve been out a day or 2 ago but my songs keep getting flagged :/
