What do you mean?
Oh, I got it
Intro is going hard. I feel like I'm in the arctic right now. Car sound was a nice touch. Synths feel a little dry and underprocessed.
0:18 section is neat, giving me some strong Mario Kart vibes. Drums could be a little more present in the mix, and the guitar feels mechanical. I enjoy the instrumentation. 0:45 once again, that guitar is quite robotic. 0:58 I'm getting Sharkbite OST vibes? (idk if you've ever played that game but it's pretty chill). Melodic content is a little repetitive. Mix is alright, could be a bit fuller. Maybe add some saturation or something to achieve that.
1:25 def feels like the final stretch of the race. Losing the arctic theme a little bit, but sonically it's great. Key change at 1:38 is refreshing. Ending is nice, feels like you just won the race and the crowd is cheering for you.
All in all, well done guys! Mixing and mastering could use some work, but you got some great sounds in there. Good luck!

Appreciate it we do!
WOOOO THIS IS GAS
Thank you Crispy!! ^^
Beginning is giving strong Toby Fox vibes. Love the ambience you got going on. At around 0:28 the sample cuts off early and for a moment there's no sound playing, which kind of kills the ambient mood you had going.
Following section is nice, I would've liked to hear some more building off of the previous section, because they sound almost exactly the same. Again there's that brief moment of silence going into the next section which I don't like, but the drums make up for it; they go pretty hard. They get a bit repetitive after a while, and a cool melody line or something could really hit that last section home. Transition to the ending feels quite rushed, and once again there's that annoying brief silence going into the outro, which I do enjoy but wish it was less disconnected with the rest of the track.
Overall, you did a good job with this one, but struggled with arrangement a bit. There's three distinct sections, but they all feel disconnected from one another and could benefit from some cool drum fills or FX. 7.8/10. I look forward to hearing more of your works!
Thank you so much for the genuine criticism, I really appreciate it!
I get what you're saying, and yeah I agree, the sections don't flow into each other as well as I thought at first.
And yeah, you caught me, I had no idea what I was doing with the drum fill at the end lmao
I think I was going for something cool but horribly executed it.
Toby is one of my greatest inspirations, and I'm glad it shines here.
SHES IN LOVE WITH THE CONCEPT AS IF WE'RE ALL JUST HOW SHE IMAAAAGINED 'CAUSE WE'RE IN LOVE WE JUST DON'T KNOW IT YET WELL TELL ME HOW i'M SUPPOSED TO SEE THE MAAAGIC
very dimrain nice job
Tun... tu-tuuun...... Tun... Tun-tun......
Yeah the other guy is right this is good SCP-3008 ambience
I like how you kept adding new lead elements to keep things interesting, while keeping the same accompaniment in the bg. Fav part is around 1:39 when you introduce that weird reversed sample thing, and I'd actually like to have heard it used more because I think it really fits the mood of the track. Well done, Mr. Black!
Thank you. I didnt really know anything about SCP-3008 but I looked up some music and it sounds awesome.
Cinematic and beautiful. Well done!
'Preciate it!
Very nostalgic! Few things to point out is that at 0:45, the rain sample you had playing in the back stops and the whole track loses life for half a second. I think you shoulf keep it playing throughout the track to maintain that ambience.
Piano is nice, little mechanical and could use some dynamics. Don't mind it though. Ending section is climactic and chill, rain foley comes back which is good and the synth lead is refreshing. The outro feels rushed and ends very abruptly.
All in all, solid aria math ripoff. Just needs some polishing. Nice work!
Thank you for feedback ❤
Yo that visualizer is fire nice work man!
Thank you! The visualizer is ALMAMPlayer, which is pretty simple to use and offers a decent amount of customizability as well. There's a bunch of VGM composers I like on Youtube who use it a lot. Definitely recommend checking it out if you ever are in need of some cool visuals.
This is a bop nice job
THANK YOIU
