[Kytoon - Stay in Kansas City]

I feel like you have been slightly off my radar for a while now. Let's fix that: YOU ARE NOW FIRMLY IN THE CENTER OF MY RADAR. This song is amazing. Amazing singing, amazing sound design, amazing composition, amazing progressions. If I were to list attributes that I like about it, I'd just list the entire song.

One of the best things I've heard on NG in a while.

GhostLawyer responds:

Thanks man! Glad to have ya aboard this musical journey.

[NGADM 2017 Auditions Podcast]

Wow you have quite the radio friendly voice

ChronoNomad responds:

Why, thank you! I really appreciate that. Although this was my first podcast, I have done
a variety of voice over gigs in the past. Maybe one day I'll be the next "epic movie trailer" guy!

It's just too bad that my home mic picks up all those tiny bumps and amplifies them into bass thumps.

[Wings]

You know what this song reminds me of jordi? A river. A nice big flowey river that water flows through and has water in it. It's basically the most rivery song I've ever heard tbh, and im 100% every sane person would agree

auto tune section was good tho

*sits here and eats chips*

[Searching My Life (Music Box Version)]

its great jordi but y would u tease me like that by including the great lyrical section but then ending the song right then without even repeating it -_-

kinda reminds me of ori & the blind forest in some ways, mood and instrument choice particularly.

etherealwinds responds:

They say good things come in small packages. You should know ;)

[AIM - In That Moment]

Nice moody piece! Sounds like it would go very well in a soundtrack for a movie. The sound of the piano is wonderful.

AceMantra responds:

Glad you like it, thanks! Composing music for a movie or game soundtrack would be a dream come true. One day, maybe.

[AIM - A Way Out]

not a bad start mandarien! the biggest problem that im seeing right now is that the mix is pretty bad, it seems very compressed and kinda funky. also your singing sometimes misses the notes slightly. still, its a good start and when these issues were fixed this song could be great! :)

paperbrain responds:

Thanks! Yeah, I hope to improve and get there one day.

[AIM - Reconciliation]

reallly nice track! i think the first section, until the first minute, is my favorite part. when the mix gets more dense it lacks a lot of bass and sounds oddly filtered, like you highpassed the whole thing.

the melody in the first section is FANTASTIC though!

CloakedSoup responds:

Thank you! This is the kind of feedback I love to get! Glad you enjoyed it and I'll keep that in mind for the future.

[AIM - Chris, the Boat and the Tormented Sea]

good stuff yo. very nice progressions! also the piano playing is really well done! i dont think i can play as fast as you did in that section near the end! the piano sounds really nice too :D

LucidShadowDreamer responds:

Thanks, dude! I'm glad you like the progressions :D
Piano playing isn't always about speed; I just wanted certain parts to have lots of energy, to fit with the art! The piano sound is "The Maverick".

It seems like you DID participate too, this year!
I really like the piece you made! :OOO

[AIM - Moments]

This is a really nice song. Great mix overall with only a few small issues (snare at 2:40 lacks any sort of punch, vocals need to have more reverb because they sound too dry). Pretty fun and chilled tune though mang!

Mauxus responds:

Thank you! You are right, that snare was like...meh. I replaced it altogether and added a little more reverb to the vocals as well. I think it sounds better now (don't forget to clear your browser's cache to hear the new version). Thanks for the tips!
