-Official NGUAC 2020 KO Round Review-

Magical8bitplugin is really a great vst, as i can hear in many compositions on this site.
The sounds are carefully processed, and i like how you balanced the triangle bass. The only thing here is that i found this track too overwhelming: even if its catchy and with original rolls, i'd have enjoyed it better if the melody came out more on its own. I think you've watched Eliteferrex 8-bit School Videos just like i did because of magical8bit, and also because you used one of the techniques mentioned in his tutorials, the one i call "Stereo Pan": at 0:37, you put the arpeggiated vst in both left and right stereo channels. That's a nice idea, but as a result the sound is too loud, and it covers the melody too much, making the listener a tad bit disoriented. Lowering the volume of the arpeggiated vst would have helped the mix quite a bit.
Despite the complaints, i enjoyed the sound selection and the "Castlevania" feeling you went for. The concept is not bad as well.

Originality: 1.6/2

Nice depth, this is good synthwave!

My favourite from the album 🎧

[Static Symphony (feat. Sunnexo)]

Even better than Hyperdrive =)
I'd fit this in a Cave Story context. This is a masterpiece!
