Intro is ok, but the second melody is completely out of key with the first one! It's godawfull!

Drop: bassline is cool, but needs louder mid. Sub is a bit overpowering. Tramen: nice, but lacks punch. Boost the low and low mid parts.

Some nice things, but the out of keyness of the melody is really annoying. Also, the melodies are a bit too much all over. Would be nice to have some beats + bass only parts.

1.75/5 for the track
2/5 for the sound

hrmm it didn't take off like i thought it might. it seemed a bit flat.
he's right about the melodies being off-key, it sounds like polytonality, but it doesn't work
the way you've tried to bring the sounds together is ok, but i think you should have had better sounds in the first place, they sound a bit underproduced.
3/5

didnt really feel the intro but the build up to the drop and the drop itself
were really cool. wicked melody after the drop! i like that high pitch noise in the background, reminds me of and old horror movie or somthing. the pads sounded a bit too nintendo-ish (if that makes any sense)

i liked this track, enjoyed the melody but the intro could use some more work.

cheers!

Interesting intro, is it a looped sample, or sampel loaded on a sampler? sounds familiar... anyway, the amen's are really nice, not to big in the new sound brought in at 2:37... just personal though... nice break at 3:20, liken it!! bass drum needs a little more presence, to compete with the cymbals and stuff.

nice track though reckon/fogboy

3/5

Guess I'm not real "Key sensitive" I didn't notice that. But I will say that the video game sounding pad or chord or whatever it is, isn't powerful enough to be the focus of this tune. Watch the levels a bit more on the mix, sometime subtle is better.

out of keyness can add disharmic value to a song, it can be good for a dark song, in fact it's the only way a song sounds dark. it's the elemnt that makes it uneasy.

this is a great song, i like it a lot. don't kow how to critque it.

maybe cut the pad's druing the drop, get a solid tone going, instead of a progressive pad movineg about.
