-Official NGUAC 2020 KO Round Review-

I really enjoyed listening to this track: it's pretty catchy and dynamic, and it looks like your ideas came out into the music properly.
The structure is solid with good transitions, despite the chord progression not variating that much; maybe adding a variation or a sort of bridge could have made the piece even better.
One little note; i don't understand why you put that lowpass at 0:29, it wasn't necessary at all and it almost broke off the rhythm begun at 0:16.
Despite that, the sound selection is great, and the mix is polished very well.
Listening to this i imagined myself crossing open sea with a motorboat, so you totally got the concept part of your track, props for that!

Originality: 1.25/2
Composition: 2/2
Structure: 1.75/2
Tecnicity: 2/2
Impact: 2/2

Total: 9/10

-Official NGUAC 2020 KO Round Review-

First track i'm scoring on this round.
I love songs that use 8-bit sounds properly, and that's one of them. Great sounds choice.
The first 37 seconds are well polished and really solid, i like the intro with the triangle wave bass. At 0:38, i think the low frequences could have been more marked; that section feels a little less strong than the others. The drop at 1:12 is great, with correct usage of the sidechain, and the transition is not too abrupt: maybe the chord progression could have variated a bit more, but it's also fine the way it is.
The concept is solid, and you overall did a good job, it almost reminds me of Colbreakz's style. Keep it up!

Originality: 1.8/2
Composition: 1.7/2
Structure: 2/2
Tecnicity: 1.5/2
Impact: 2/2

Total: 9/10

Ahurac responds:

Woaaaaw OwO thank youuuuuu! And I'll be taking notes of all this feedback so I can improve my track when I'll finish it ^^

[please take care of this star]

200 tracks. Talk about a milestone. Congrats!

We already begin in a good note: not only you based this track on an image in the art portal, you also made it yourself and it's really good. Props for that; now, back to the music.
The beginning atmosphere is spot on and flows very nicely, then the piano starts. You did a good job with the vocals processing this time around, and took a major improvement step from Child of the Woods; frankly, this track is on a whole new level.
At 1:35 the build-up: excellently done, i was looking forward to the chord progression while listening, and i was not disappointed in the slightest =)
The main section around 2:00 is good too, stands out well in its own while being solid as well.
Now, 3:21. THAT. PART. This is where the piece shines bright: you did an extraordinary modulation here and surprised me, to say the least. You took a huge risk, because doing good modulations is really difficult, but you did it in a way that turned this piece around, and raising the standards in a way which can't be overlooked. The reprise of the build-up and main section at 4:08 is not abrupt, and that's another good note.
The vocal department now variates a bit, being more original and switching from chorus to solo voice multiple times, giving a better sense of harmony; clever choice. One thing i forgot to mention: really enjoyed the strings department, they are processed like in professional/commercial soundtracks. In fact, this song genre could have been also Cinematic rather than Miscellaneous.
The finale is great, and it ends the song with a more than good impression.

Summing up: the mix is well processed, the concept is solid and original, you made lots of clever composition choices and took a lot of risks, which led you to produce this cinematic harmony.
Probably one of the best pieces with vocals i've heard on this site since i joined in 2015. It's a 10/10, period.
After this, no one has the right to doubt your music skills ever again! Maybe somewhere in the future we could also produce a collaboration, but first i want to get better myself, we'll see.

Until then, keep making music, head high! 🎵

[NH22 - Isolation]

Finally found Dimrain's cousin :v
This piece has aged very well, props to you!

[Hyperdrive]

Not bad! I like the middle part the most. 8-bit music has a great potential 🎵
