[Nechromatic - Cables]

very texturally interesting! lots of well-balanced layers here that work in an oddly satisfying and groovy way. maybe we should all be possessed more often...

[enter:future]

Liking this one. Great drum work and atmosphere. I have similar comments about the kick in the breakdown sections, but other than that, this is pretty great. Would like to see what else you can do with this

[soul]

Nice chord progression! Kick is super loud on this one. A tip I can give is to listen back to your mix at a quieter volume so you can more easily hear what needs adjusting. I dunno if you've looked into sidechaining but that should help if you're going for a kick-focused mix! Favorite one so far tho

[ascend // inhuman]

Great choice of synths. Mix is pretty good but kick is a bit powerful which makes it harder to compress the track evenly, and the first part is a lot quieter. Maybe experiment with some effects and slowly add elements of the mix over time. Not bad.

[A-Beat Crushed Idealism]

So so pretty and grand at the same time. Composition is awesome on this, sound choice is also amazing. Wow!!

Santi-Montali responds:

Thank you so much! :)

[Bloom.]

Terarria boss fight on crack. So wild. So sick.

[Illusion Of Fear]

Great performance! Cool concept! I love the bassline and the incorporation of synths in the break at around 1:50. Interesting rhythms. The solo towards the end rocks, man. Good luck in round 2! :)

MaldivirDragonwitch responds:

Oh, man, thanks so much! It means a lot!
I was actually just about to go listen to your submission! :)

[Superscience]

Woah, this is tight as hell. Very catchy, adventurous, and constantly engaging. It reminds me of the complexity of 8-bit songs in indie games like Shovel Knight and anything similar. Awesome stuff, man. Also at 1:12 is that the jazz lick??

defensem3ch responds:

thank you! and maybe... ;)

[ReVitalization]

Dude, that synth at the beginning is gnarly as hell. The part at 2:14 is real cool to listen to. Sick track.

CloakedSoup responds:

Thanks! The production could use some work here and there, but I'm pretty happy to have gotten it out in time for NGADM! :D

[816]

Smooth flow. Reminds me of Biggie or DOOM in some aspects. Great cadence, sweet expression in your voice for emphasis. Keep at it man, one song at a time. :)

ggsevv responds:

I didn't know how much I needed to see another artist tell me "one song at a time" until you did it. Thank you, man. I needed that. Good luck :)
