Very strong submission. Intro and mid section sound epic and melody progression in those areas is very nice, though sometimes feels like the song could sound more triumphant instead of dark/tense, but really well composed like 0:08-0:12.

Thank you great Kakashi, I definitely had dark/tense stuff you mentioned in mind, I think it sounds like maybe not a stereotypical triumph, maybe this one is more of the kind where the protagonist gets roughed up a bit and nearly escapes doom, thank you for your comment.

Ooh, I like this one. Very percussive with good use of dissonance. Though it feels more like a transition section from a larger piece than a stand-alone song (honestly, if you haven't already, consider expanding this into a longer song, it's really cool).

Developer

Thank you a lot for your kind words, I suppose I perhaps made the build up longer than it needed to be, percussion is cool.

A dense, rich mix. Lots of instruments and low frequencies, which is good!

Developer

Thank you so much.

The ending is really great ! 

Developer

Any recommendations on songs/pieces with interesting ending sequences?

This could be very good, but I'm confused by a couple of things.
-The mud in the lower part of the spectrum makes it difficult to distinguish between instruments
-The introduction of the snare drum with syncopation at 0:07 sec. (this is very confusing)
-The harmony (this is subjective) But it's still a good job!

I liked the syncopation, it's a good trick to make a track special. Hmm... What headphones do you use? I have full-size ones, but they're low quality. I can hear all frequencies well. But I agree that the low frequency equalization could be improved, the instruments overlap each other.

It's definitely a good technique, and it sounds good in your work. The only thing that knocked me down was the moment at 0:07 seconds when the snare drum became noticeably louder.

I listened to the beyerdynamic dt 770 pro, but after listening to the Adam T7 monitors, I want to note the wide stereo picture. However, I really can't get rid of the feeling of hum in the mix. Maybe I'm just a fan of the drier sound and just don't understand the genre.

Thank you, I definitely was suffering from ear fatigue making this, I was using a plugin for the first time and found out you can't control dynamics making it muddier since I couldn't adjust each separate note, honestly I don't find the snare very confusing, listening back the harmony is quite boring, I didn't really want to spend a lot of time on it either since it said don't work too hard, haha, I'm currently struggling to learn large orchestral mixing and mastering, it's quite hit or miss for me, and also trying to find out what VSTs actually work for me, thanks again for the input.
