[!NGAP MEGACOLLAB!]

This is peak music right here

[Vortonox - Just One More Time]

The melodic idea is interessting, but I feel you repeat it a bit too often, like for the whole duration of the song. I know that repetition is a big part of music but...idk maybe it's just not my thing. Also I don't feel like the tempo is 250. Sure, it probably is in your project file, but I'd say that the song is 125 bpm, at least that makes sense for me, given the "style" and "feel" of the track

itsmevxrto responds:

its half and half lol

[Vortonox - Toxic Waste]

This track is the best thing that happened to me today lol

Wish I could remix this, but, honestly, I think any attempt of that would only have diminishing results, since this is already perfect

itsmevxrto responds:

haha

[Trickshot - Echo (Clip)]

Those basses are CRUNCHY!

But the link doesn't seem to work for me for some reason

TrickshotMusic responds:

you could post the link into discord instead, doesnt work on my browser either

should work now!

[Bleen - Power Up (Vortonox Remix)]

That's a nice remix! It retains the vibe of the original, while bringing something new. In my personal opinion, this remix is just a toned down version of the original, a bit boring even. But come on, who tf cares about opinions?

[Just Listen (Lo-fi)]

Some interessting stuff here! It's, like, a really trappy lo-fi track. The occasional ding-snare is a bit weird, I guess it was meant to be a development from the previous parts. And the D&B part at 1:19... well, it was interessting, and surprisingly fit together with the track.
I am quite excited to see your next work!

Valquer responds:

Thank you very much for the kind words!

[Trickshot - Mythic (Tristan Costello Remix)]

Damn! This legit sounds like something I would expect to hear on a radio, or some label. Feels like I could listen to this forever.
And now I feel ashamed of what I'm making for the contest. Great, thanks...

tcostello responds:

Ahahaha so sorry! I got so much inspiration from the guitar and the track just came along really quickly from there. I do think I should have worked on improving the mix more though.

[Trickshot - Mythic (REMIX CONTEST)]

I'm not sure if I'm even gonna be able to participate (or should). But hot damn this melody SLAPS

TrickshotMusic responds:

I would love to see your take place in this one too! always a joy to see what you can make with my music!

[The Bishop's Gambol]

This is cool! Definitely fits into some 8-bit medieval themed game. Has some interessting harmonic movement as well, using natural and harmonic minor. Can't say that this is not long enough. It's a good loop that transitions to the beginning pretty nicely.
The only problem would probably be mixing, but I can't mix for shit myself, so I'll leave it at that.
So, pretty good job!

[Set it Off]

Those are some sick tones! Also, vocals kinda remind me of Matt Pike from High on Fire. But the mixing isn't quite as good. At some parts it clips and gets kinda distorted ( at around 1:26-27 and 2:20). Snare could be a bit louder, since it gets lost in the mix ( especialy in choruses).
Other than that, it's a solid track!

HeartofLeviathan responds:

Thanks a lot for the feedback and for listening!!
