NGADM Review
So first off, this is a pretty cool track. You guys did a great job creating an immersive experience with a really nice blend of electronic and orchestral elements together. You both did a wonderful job making the track immersive and enjoyable. One thing that is incredible about this piece is the varied composition, melody and really just everything. This added onto the immersive experience you guys created.
For the most part, you guys created really beautiful and realistic sounding instruments as well as dynamic. Changing seamlessly from a legato lines to a trill sounded really really good when you guys executed it. The strings in particular sounded really beautiful and realistic in the bowings. There are some parts where the brass sounds bland. By that I mean that the dynamic shaping of it doesn’t change too often. It feels like it just stays on the same dynamic level for too long and too often.
General production on this track is quite good. It sounds a little bit muddy at times, and there seems to be a little too much reverb on the lower drums, as well as the lower timbres instruments. I felt that the track is missing some low-mid area frequencies which made the track suffer a bit. It definitely could have been a lot fuller and more epic if it was more filled out. Honestly though, the overall feel and production of the track isn’t affected too much by this. Again, really nice job of fusing electronic elements with orchestral.
Melodic themes were pretty nice, but I didn’t feel a lot of development throughout it. Obviously the solution to this is to change it up some more and build accordingly. Good job guys, and congrats on making it to the next round, this is one of the best ones of round one.
9/10
