man I really appreciate the time u put to text the long reply but I really struggle to follow u, for example u told me the track was weak in the bass area and now u tell me to try to drop the 50Hz area of the kick 🤔 for the intro part ok I can understand that the transition from only the rain sample...

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NvdXYlAdfrM Uh...as u can see from the video, the drum bus compressor hits 2db gain reduction on the kick and 4db gain reduction on the snare while the mixbus compressor is basically not working when they are playing only the drums and there are no other compressors ...

SWC077_VCA-089_MEDS like I said this is the best track on the comp. this is the one with the most defined structure and direction. rythm fits, melodies fit, intro, verses, break, outro everything is well arranged, good job man. the 01:56 to me is the best part, that synth solo reminds me some band m...

SWC077__MellowBrowne__FromNothingToSomething man that intro is too much lol like I said I put you on 2nd place cuz it's one of the best tracks of this comp, structure and direction are good but could be improved, the track needs more variation, it's too repetitive. I really like the but the last par...

SWC077__1ktone__Information I see where u was going here man, I feel the direction of the track, the main issue to me here is the mix, everything is like on the mid frequencies, the kick needs to come out and needs more low end and energy and needs to work better with the bass, like try to saturate ...

SWC077__scottfitz__Nyamuragira the moment the drums start the track start to have a direction but it would need a more interesting arrangement, variations and a more clean mix to make every element cut through man. like the kick is too muffled try to keep the area below 100 hz mono and bring out the...

SWC077_EsteveCorbera_11 the track has some sort of direction and I kinda get where you wanted to go, it's just the execution has some issue to fix. on the arrangement side the chords kinda works well but the track feels like it has not a solid structure and direction in terms of intro/build ups/drop...

APi_ZZ -- Scrambled Sambles I like the sound design, I like the mix quality, wat I don't like very much is the overall arrangement, it feels like the track has no real direction, there is that rimshot like percussion that to me don't fits very well (in terms of rythm), it's like a lot of good pieces...
