Wow!
I'm gonna be honest, I'm hella impressed with all of you.
And ngl, I'm surprised I got so many entries. It's crazy!
I just wanna say thanks, firstly, to everyone on the AT community, for all the good years I've had and all the good years to come! Thanks for getting me to 500 :)
Without further ado... Let's start this.
I promised I would crit everyone, but only the top 5 ranking would count, so yes, these tracks are indeed listed by who won.
Wow. I'm just shocked at what this man can do with samples and synths. It's mind-boggling. I loved the drums, had just enough punchiness for me to fall in love with them, and those SYNTHS. Goddamn, sir, you took my breath away. Those leads would make joe proud. Overall, this is a stunning track, and I love what you did with that piano, and creating those bonkers side melodies like you always do. Congrats!
Holy crap, I nearly crapped myself listening to this. There really isn't anything to crit on this one, and it was close to getting first, not going to lie. Real close. The vocals, the little glitches, even the drums are on point! Everything in there is in there for a reason, and this is honestly one of the coolest remixes I've seen. If I could give one piece of crit, it would be it ends too soon, maybe stretch the silence at the end a bit so it's not too severe an ending? Other than that, I'm lost on how to crit it lol. Amazing work!
This is just jaw dropping. The first time I heard it I knew I was in love. The only crit I can really give is the drums are a bit basic, but I'm really not sure how to improve them in a genre I don't regularly do, but as long as there isn't just a kick, I think i would consider it an improvement. I love the flow to this one, it's raw and clean and weird yet cool all at once, and I love it. Great job!
This is wild man. This is so R.Shani that another R.Shani had to make a new water bottle brand to compete with this awesomeness. It went from like hip hop to ambient in like 2 seconds, and I was like, "wait wait wait go back" then the percs came in again, and it was pure heaven. I'm not sure how to crit much on this, but I'd make the transition at around
1:31
more prominent, then remove some of those really high frequencies afterward(kinda hurts my ears). Other than that, no crit. Well done!
The sounds. Just the SOUNDS used in this. It's amazing. I used this song to meditate. It's hard to do crit with these songs because who am I to tell someone what they should or shouldn't add in a track, instead of just editing things that are already there. For this song, though, I think it should use some more low end, it's really lacking in that compartment. I love all the little chimes, though, and the swell I get throughout the track! Nicely made, tikowun :)
Man, wow. I was so tempted to make this in the top 3. It was so hard to choose what would take stop spots, since I was internally struggling with the top 15. PLUS as the only vocal track, this was completely unique. I love what you did with this, and I have no crit.
.
Those were the last of the official spots, but I'm still giving crit from here on, so keep reading if you want to see your crit.
I'm going to be short on these ones because I don't know how much space I have left to type, and still a hella lot of tracks to crit lol. Enjoy these 2-3 sentence criticisms!
*Disclaimer: No harm intended to any tracks well-being due to the short nature of the criticism*
Very happy vibe here again, especially in the beginning, you really carried the vibes there. PLUS THOSE BASSES SJKUFGBKJFOFIHSOUG. That describes it well. Amazing work, bro! All I'd say is turn the volume down a bit ;)
I really like this! I didn't expect the genre change, and those chops are pristine! All I'd say is mix the saws a bit better, I can hear some clipping, but damn, those distorted plucks made me-(not finishing) Either way, great job!
Holy crap, this was hard to place. This is a VERY well made track, as are all of the ones I've rated so far. There was an unexpected drop though, so I really think that could be polished. Overall, I really like individual pieces of this, especially the melodies!!!!! They were fantastic, great job :D
I really love this, bro, it's amazing! I would turn the drums down, change the kick, and maybe up the synths though, Those little swell things though, omg they made me go crazy.
YESS MAN! Loving the trance vibes. Amazing. All I would say is make the transitions a bit smoother, but overall, loving the sounds in this, especially the bass!!! :D
One, love the vibe(and the cover) This is a very happy song, and I was bopping the whole way. Only advice is mixing work, and the drop(kinda sucks, sorry) Love the melodies though :)
Not going to lie, this is one of the better phonk tracks in here, just thought it was a bit basic, all I heard was the classic speed ups and whatnot. I really like that rolling perc you used and the laugh, really nice attention to detail :)
I think this could definitely be improved. I liked the interesting drums, but I feel like they get heavily overshadowed by the space, so maybe turn it down to let other details shine through.
this is amazing work, just a bit basic, but i love what you did with this, all i'd say is turn the bass down, and remove the vocal thing, unless you're gonna make it less muffled
This is completely unique from the remixes I got, very cyberpunk-synthwavey, and I DIG IT. It's really roughly mixed though, and for the intro, I'd suggest editing the brass so it's less muffled. I don't really think the impact matches the vibe, though, so maybe swap that. Other than that, good one.
This is my favorite of the remixes you make. That lead is very catchy, except it comes in really suddenly, so maybe have a better transition into a climax for it to really shine and get dramatic. This is a great composition by you, and I encourage you to think about how you want the track to evolve a bit more while making it, this is a great start!

again again with
Valley Phonk
In my opinion, the horn doesn't fit with the phonk here, and there's a weird bit of silence with just brass? You should also work on drops, seeing how in this one there are only claps. Add some more synths.

Confused why the trap drums are with chiptune, but I like how you thought outside the box. Drums aren't enough for me though, switch them up a bit, they get repetitive, and add new synths.

Track 9 - 500 Follower Remix Comp
OK, all you did was add drums and a filter automation I feel like. I like how there a bump on certain note, but it gets real repetitive, real fast, so try to do something else with it along the track
also the distorted pluck that u really loved wasnt a pluck, i distorted and compressed the heck out of the piano sample and used a part where only one note was played
