Liontamer ⚖️ Posted May 21 Posted May 21 Artist Name: Treyt The source, We've Got a Ship, is easily my favorite track from anything ever. For those that remember, this source was my first submitted remix, and my first and only NO (though Micro Mages definitely should've been a no.) I would love to argue this track is 100% source, and I think I will. Heavily influenced by Bossfight (I think I'm going to experiment with more stuff closer to his actual style in the future), and my fun but crappy older stuff from the 2010's. Hope it makes your day suck less!

prophetik music ⚖️ Posted May 29 Posted May 29 micro mages WAS a no, originally. you passed on a resub. opens with a whoosh that isn't in the source (but is only 0.25s long, so i'll allow it 😂), and then gets right to the source. there's a fun, bouncy feel to the bass writing, and the sidechain is crisp and significant. lead writing at 0:32 is great - tons of personalization. the sfx clip right after it is a bit loud, but i love the hard drop into the band sound at 0:49, and i absolutely love the super-heavy sidechain, reminiscent of the post-chorus Titanium sound. there's some bass growls in there that are a fun addition, and we hit the first break at 1:18. this is pretty long and does some unexpected stuff, like the fakeout build into 2:05. we do finally get the last payoff chorus at 2:21, complete with some organic grass-fed bass wubulation. more exciting is the altered chord progression and subsequent key change so it's not just playing through it in a straight line again. excellent use of an escalation mechanic in the last few seconds of the track. there's some more sfx and some keys to play us off, keyboard cat, and we're done. a delightful track. i think the sfx are too loud each time they come up, but that's really my only complaint. i like the arrangement, the song's scope and form, the execution, and the wrap. nice work. this is an instant favorite. YES Treyt 1
Liontamer ⚖️ Posted June 25 Author Posted June 25 Interesting phasing/pumping going on. Good sound design, though I'd say the kicks at 1:04 felt very underwhelming and soft compared to the wilder energy of the other instrumentation and effects, which were all over the place in a good way. It can come off sounding unfocused, but I can follow it. I dug the DDRKirby-esque chip pivot at 2:03. Piano for the close sounded pretty fake; dunno why it also seemed to have a flat note at 2:57, I guess because of the one note behind it that was sliding down; would be nice to iron out, but minor anyway and I got used to it. That said, it was an effective close from the compositional level. The beats don't quite pack the expected punch and mixing sophistication, but that's my only meaningful ding on this. Very varied sound design and treatment of the source theme, and the lil voice clips were reasonably well integrated. No shock Treyt was able to bring it! YES
Hemophiliac ⚖️ Posted July 2 Posted July 2 I'm starting to think you're like Arnold Schwarzenegger, you seem to like the pump as much as he does. The pump here though is good, not too overpowering and adds to the fun and forward momentum of the track. The melodic embellishment is great, especially after 0:32. There's a lot of personalization and changing up of sound design which really makes this your own. I too, like Liontamer; really appreciated the chip inclusion as it fits in like gold. The return of the "full band" sound at 2:20 was great after the contrasting quieter section. My nitpick is the same as prophetik's, the sampled vocal clips are too loud for the rest of the track and could be reduced to fit in better. The piano at the end is slightly mechanical but it's mostly covered up by the voice clip so it didn't bother me. It could have just added to further emotional value with some more exaggerated humanization. I love that you chose to come back and revise this one after some time. Bring the pump Treyt! YES
