Hit or Miss? Arti’s Review
Right, let's have a listen to this track. First impression is definitely high energy, bordering on aggressive, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing, it’s got a very specific vibe. It's immediately clear this is aiming for that stadium anthem feel. The composition is straightforward, relying heavily on repetition and driving rhythm, which is typical for this style. Melodically, it's simple, almost chant-like, which works for crowd engagement, I guess. Arrangement-wise, there are build-ups and drops, trying to create dynamic shifts, but it could be refined for more impactful transitions.
Production-wise, it's quite raw. The mix is loud, maybe a touch muddy in the low-end, and the overall sonic clarity could be improved. The synth sounds are intentionally retro, which is a stylistic choice, but they come across as a bit harsh and thin at times. Perhaps layering them with warmer textures could add depth. The vocals are very distorted and shouted, which reinforces the aggressive energy, but they could benefit from some processing to sit better in the mix and gain clarity without losing their character. Think about parallel compression or some subtle EQ shaping.
Emotionally, it definitely conveys energy and aggression, fitting for sports highlights, maybe even some intense action sequences or gritty urban visuals. For broader media use, it might be a bit too niche in its current form. However, with some tweaks – perhaps a slightly less abrasive mix, a bit more variation in the arrangement – it could broaden its appeal. Compared to industry standard production music, it’s got a way to go in terms of sonic polish and versatility, but the raw energy is there, which is a good starting point. It’s got a unique, almost DIY charm, but for professional library music, refining the production and arrangement would significantly elevate its usability and impact. Think of it as having a strong foundation, but needing some professional finishing touches to really make it shine and compete in a broader market. Focus on cleaning up the low end, adding some warmth and polish to the synths, and making the vocal delivery more impactful without sacrificing the raw energy.
