I like the ominous synth riffs at the beginning. That lead sounds a bit harsh in the high end of the frequency range, maybe because of the stereo clicks, but after more of the atmosphere fills in around it, it starts to sound more well-balanced. The crisp drums and melodies at 1:05 are really nice, and the piece takes on a more heroic and triumphant feel after a while. You clearly have a great sense of melody, progression, and sound design, and the production quality is strong overall as well. Sometimes, I wanted the drums to sound a bit punchier in the mix, but only really during the busier parts of the piece later on. Overall, really strong work here, idimension! Keep it up. ^_^

UwU that opening is noice. Please tell me what that creaking sound is. It's a little too loud but I like it.

39 seconds I'm starting to feel like the intro is going on just a bit too long. 50 seconds, I've accepted it

I like your arrangement but think there is WAY too much reverb and the drums are too far down in the mix.

VERY NICE drum fill writing

I want to hear more bass throughout. The lead at 1:27 is much too loud without it.

Splendid writing.

Thanks for coming out to NGUAC!
