I haven't really heard much stuff from you, but what I like is that you have a lot of creativity when it comes to remixing. I like your original pieces, and I really do hope you make more in the future. Suggestions? Maybe try opening up to a bit more genres? (Jazz, Orchestral, R&B, etc.) If I do hear something from you, it's mostly techno. That's not a bad thing, but trying new stuff isn't bad either. xP I don't really have anything else to say. You're pretty much a well-rounded musician. Noms: +5 Yannick

Composition: 47/50 -Your composition skills have me really impressed. You know how to manipulate all of the tools at your disposal to create an experience. Most of your pieces have a very nice atmosphere to them. You definitely know how to build and release tension when needed to and you can really think up some amazing melodies. My only suggestion would be to try more variety in instrumentation and style. Also you should make more OC's, Electropolis was amazing.
Sound Quality: 24/25
Honestly, I really couldn't find any problem with your sound quality. But I hate to say someone's perfect because there's always room to improve. I'm not sure what program you use but it sounds great. Keep up the good work!
Creativity: 23/25
You know how to make a song your own whether it's an OC or a remix. The way you relate your melodies to your countermelodies and/or supporting parts are very interesting to listen to. Some of your remixes break off into these awesome improv-solo like sections that take off from the original and make it sound truly remixed.
Overall: 94%
A great remixer and composer. I guess this is why you are Almighty Arceus, haha.

I like your style of remixing... you seem to either change the MIDI a lot, or you make it from scratch - which is something I really like. I also like the creativeness you show. It's very hard to find something to specific to point at.. perhaps make some remixes that are truly _extremely_ different to everything one have heard before of remixes... and maybe trying to give the drums a bit more focus sometimes. Some of the synths are also a bit boring in the long run. That's all I can come up with ;D And remember I just point at things..... I don't necessarily mention EVERYTHING I like..... I'm sorry, but the 60000 character limit makes that impossible. (lol I'm in a good mood ) Nominations+1 flameheadshero +1 AMTRAX +1 xtremethomas +1 Executive Ray +1 Zach

AlmightyARCEUSSSSSS Creativity = 22/25 I like what you do with your remixes. The instruments you use, the little solos, and changes in progression really define your musical creativity. Sound Quality = 19/25 Don't get me wrong here, but by listening to your pieces I can tell that you have some trouble with EQ. A lot of your instruments in your music seem to be too broadly ranged, if that makes sense. . . and it's because of this broad range that instruments clash with each other and create muddiness. Volume leveling is also a small issue in some of your piece (for instance, the piano in you Abandoned Ship remix was a little loud at times, and clipped a bit). Composition: 48/50 1 in 10,000 people have something called absolute pitch, which enables them to distinguish a single note without any reference. AA is one of those people, and it definitely shows in his compositions. AA has a very unique style of composing. . .I can't put my finger on it. The only word I can really use to describe it is 'powerful.' Maybe it's the use of octaves. His piano stuff is also really, really good. His remixes are also truly remixes (and he does them all completely by ear). Total: 89% Conclusion: A fantastic musician and composer. Truly, the only thing holding AA back is production quality. AA hasn't been remixing for all that long, so this skill will definitely come with time. The use of Garageband can't help this cause that much, either P.S. Lala and I are making a collab battle OC, and we're dedicating it to you once it's finished

Well I think that about sums up this round. Again, AA, I apologize for not getting to review you, but if it's any consolation, it would pretty much just be a reiteration of other reviews, they all were pretty much the same as my thoughts. :/
Round 14 coming soon.
