Sorry to Wolf, whom I never rated, this week has been extremely busy. I almost didn’t even have time to do Round 13, but I’ve just accepted the fact that I’m going to fail my Bio test, so here it is! XD Also, if everybody could try to remember to nominate people, that would be great. AMTRAX is the only one who nominated this round. I’m at a fault, too, so it’s just something we all need to work on remembering. Results: (I'll be converting the x% results into suggestions soon) Round 1: SuperiorLarxene - 95% Round 2: lala19357 - 97% Round 3: LugiaDialga - 93% Round 4: pokemoneinstein - 83% Round 5: hnturs12 - 93% Round 6: Dasgust - 92% Round 7: tobinus - 93% Round 8: Pokeneon7 - 85% Round 9: xxseenyweeny - 90% Round 10 (1): REGIROCK - Try to make OCs, Try non-techno arrangements Round 10: (2): SonicWave1000 - Try making more OCs, Try more genres than DnB, Electronica, etc. Round 11: TheGuitahHeroe - Work on a bit more instrument variety, Try branching into main-series Pokémon games when remixing Round 12: WherewolfTherewolf - Try to look around the internet for fuller samples to use Current Nominations:flameheadshero - 22 xtremethomas - 18 MeanGreenLuigi - 4 AMTRAX - 17 cat333pokemon - 13 pokemonmastertriplex - 9 utuber6061 - 13 Zach - 24 YannickJason - 17 Lieutinant Potato - 2 Executive Ray - 6 DoubleJoe7 - 4 sircombeestudios - 1

I really like your style of composing. Your songs are always very catchy (I really like Electropolis) and I enjoy your remixes too. The only major problem that I have with some of your pieces is the instrumentation. Some of the synths don't mix well or fit in with the rest of the piece. Take Electropolis. In there, it has lots of really nice sounding synths and I'll be grooving, but then there will be a synth that sounds way out of place, (like it sounds to grainy or nasaly if that even makes sense.) Like at 1:14. Mostly everything up to that part falls right into place and sounds wonderful. Then suddenly we have this weird guitar synth that just comes out and says "HELLO I WANT TO BE HEARD!! IGNORE THE REST OF THIS WONDERFUL PIECE!" It might also be a mixing issue (maybe the sounds levels aren't quite right).
Honestly, other than that, I really like your music. A lot of it really makes me smile and I enjoy listening to it, but the instrumentation/leveling issue is what would keep me from putting it on my ipod and listening to it in class even though I should be paying attention to whatever the hell the professor is talking about.
Keep up the good work, keep improving, keep on truckin, la-dee-f**king-da. 85%
Yannik- 2 xtremethomas 2 Me-1
Edit: By Nasally I meant tinny. Like it was being played into a tin can. I just didn't seem to fit.

Take Electropolis.... Like at 1:14. Mostly everything up to that part falls right into place and sounds wonderful. Then suddenly we have this weird guitar synth that just comes out and says "HELLO I WANT TO BE HEARD!! IGNORE THE REST OF THIS WONDERFUL PIECE!" It might also be a mixing issue (maybe the sounds levels aren't quite right). That guitar synth is supposed to be the melody of that part....that's why it "sticks out." And listening to mah youtube mix, it really doesn't seem to stick out that much. But I do agree with the notion of instrumentation. Thanks so much for teh review

Same deal, here, AA. Really sorry. If there are 4 or fewer reviews by Sunday, I'll extend it another week.

I like your style, but in some of your songs the instruments don't fit together too well. You're probably in need of better sounds. I also agree with Amtrax on the leveling issue. (The guitar synth in Electropolis) But other than that, you're a great composer. Keep up the good work! 82%Nomnoms:Zach +2 YannickJazon +1 Xtremethomas +1 Flameheadshero +1

AlmightyArceus!
Screw the ratings template, I just want to write a paragraph on your pieces!
Although I know little about the usage of GarageBand since I don't have a Mac, it is evident in your pieces that you are very good indeed in utilising it to create joyous pieces. I really like how every one of your pieces are different to one another, that is no one piece sounds the same. This variation in your pieces is key to your success in composing. I like also how you make your pieces different with different sounds from the GarageBand presets in most of your remixes to the BW soundfont in your Genetex battle which was a great song btw! You remix songs beautifully and creatively, such as the Azelf/Uxie/Mespirit remix. I have previously never heard that remixed in that particular way before. All in all, I rate you a 92%. I hope to see more music from you in the future and you will continue to improve!

Sorry Arceus, I would review you, but I just don't have much time these days. If I can find some I'll write one, but until then, everyone who can, PLEASE write a review! It's actually been more than 13 weeks because of past extensions!
