[A Girl's Champion]

Cool track. Love the horns (around 0:40), the trumpets stick out a bit too much to my taste.

Bosa responds:

Yeah, I could not get them to sound exactly right, but maybe I will figure it out later on.

[Rejected Trailer Music 2]

Nice change of settings here. Pretty cool trailer music, I'm sure you'll find it out there in some videos or games.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

hope someone can use it! Cheers, mang!

Aphex Twin would approve. Very abstract and choppy, all in a good way.

[The Woodwind Realm]

A bit repetitive but not bad themes. The instruments sounds fake and in wrong position if you want to emulate orchestra, also the separation between left and right is a bit unrealistic. The piano sounds very mechanical, maybe some dynamic changes might help.
After 01:58 there is huge clipping, try lowering the volume while mixing, put a good limiter.

The idea has potential but needs a bit more "polishing".

Ponsi responds:

Thanks so much for your response!

It's true, the bigger the orchestration, the more the sound seems weird with just the Sibelius 6 sound library. I was even forced to cut some themes and instruments because of that :/ Guess I'll have to continue my quest for better sounds and mixers.

Cheers!

[Fist Fu]

Awesome work guys.
Composition is cool, soloing is cool, mixing is cool, a full 5/5.

Bad-Man-Incorporated responds:

Cool. Cheers, mang

In my headphones, the main lead/ melody is so loud that overpowers everything else. I would make the drums a bit "fatter", back off with the lead and pad a bit, make the guitar stereo (panning or split the frequencies or a ping-pong delay).
Not a bad composition.

LemonCrush responds:

Something, I noticed last time I uploaded stuff here...NG's player, I think, does something to the sound of certain frequencies. It might be an mp3 thing or something, but my stuff almost always sounds different on NG. Sometimes more noticable than others

[Starkey]

Nice track. I like the quite abstract feel of the track. A bit repetitive but we can pretend it's a minimalist approach :)

LemonCrush responds:

It was meant to be minimalist/trance-ish

[Thoughts of a Dying Android]

Not bad :) I like the chord changes and the choice of sounds.
In some places might need a better separation between instruments and maybe some volume automation or sidechain of long sounds (pads, long SFX, risers...) would bring out the rhythm better.

ScottJacob responds:

Great points sir. I appreciate the input!
