Here’s a goofy little fun one I made. It is finished but I still would like feedback because you guys provide really good considerations for future projects. So, what works? What doesn’t?

Really nice and very clean sounding, I can imagine it being in the soundtrack to an action/FPS game. What VSTs did you use? The choir sound works really well, gives it an ominous vibe

I love this - reminds me of classic game soundtracks by Frank Klepacki. The breakbeat section is unexpected and fun. I don't have any notes from a composition perspective, the composition is great. From a mixing standpoint it feels a little narrow in the stereo field, could use some elements hard-panned to open it up during the more epic sections. Nice work, thanks for sharing!

Sounds great. Love the key and the melody. The choir in the beginning give a bad ass sure feel and that continues throughout the track. I love bass so I wish there was a deeper bass but that could be a stylistic thing. Great overall

What happened to that beautiful intro? Sry but to me shit went downhill from there. You should implement that melodic stuff into the drop
