[Angelus (Life is a Game EP)]

Not bad this time. I advise you to work a little on compression, dynamics, and the effects are better to have. By the way, I liked the drop in your first version much more. The barrel is heavily muffled. The melody is very prominent. In a progressive house, there must be balance above all else. When I do progressive house, I usually try not to process the drums without special need. Use my advice! 5 out of ten.

[Soffizlly - Infinity (CaliberKat Remix)]

I just won't comment this. 10/10 really!

[128]

It's sounds like Big Rave. Thank you, you'd enjoy me!

[Guess the Song Vol.2]

1: Outbreaker by Hinkik;
2-7: I don't know.

Your mark: 9/10. Some places very uncontrasting to frequences.

[Phantosma 2021 (Life Is a Game EP)]

Man, this track is so much better than your last one. First, there is a very tense atmosphere in the pre-drops, second, there is a perfect change of speed near the end, and third, the sound. It pleased me much more than in the previous tracks. You should work on the dynamics a little and try to work with the effects after all. 8 out of ten.

[Common Legend 2021 (Life Is A Game EP)]

I can tell you one thing: for a hard trance, this is very good. The only thing is that my requirements for you don't change much. You need to work a little on the dynamics, add various EDM effects, plus segments before the drops and put some fills in the transitions to the other parts. You can make them yourself, it's not difficult. Plus, you still lack the brightness of the sound of the drums and you also need to reduce the instruments. This is to impose space on them (reverb and delay), saturate them, equalize (required!), distort, compress, and so on. Keep this in mind for the future. 7 points so far, great job.

[Riki Kun & Juriel Vayson - Control (CaliberKat Remix)]

I think I'll keep quiet. This is an unconditional 10 points!

[Rise ft Izzy Starr]

The idea, I'll tell you, is not bad and even excellent. Here are three lags I found here (they are very serious):

1) the vocals are very uneven in places, and also slightly obscures the musical component. I especially advise you to work on this;
2) of the cinematic samples, the more or less cinematic is the piano sounds. It would be possible to use some effects to give the composition juiciness. Look at my composition "Empire" and find the differences there.
3) dynamics. It's a lot better here than some of your earlier tracks, but it's still so-so. In the cinematic genre of music, this parameter plays a special role.

In general, not bad, at 7 points out of ten.

[Raow WIP (OverDecorated)]

You know, I think your attempt to recreate glitchstep is pretty good. But, as banal as it may be, I noticed a lot of shoals here! First of all, there's that fucking dynamic again! Secondly, it is not clear why you put dubstep basses on the drop, although in principle this is permissible, but only if they do not prevail over the glitch melodies that are characteristic of glitchstep. Here they interrupt the glitch melody, so it seems that this is some kind of midtempo, and not glitchstep. Third, the beginning. It could be made much juicier and brighter. If I were you, I would activate the main melody after eight fours, for example. Although in principle, in terms of composition, glitchstep is quite experimental, here each apartment has its own commanders. But the sound is the most important thing here. And finally, the effects. Put the effects on the composition, down sweeps the same for example! So any of your work will become juicier. It's the worst job you've got so far. 3 points.

CaliberKat responds:

Yeah. It agree. It was a project I hadn't worked with in ages, so might as well post it here.

[Guess the song (Vol 1)]

What a masterpiece! In fact, the work is excellent. I liked this experiment with different variations of the piano performance. Moreover, some of the melodies here are incredibly recognizable. And I would very much like you to continue working in this direction, because such experiments often take the soul. Congratulations, you honestly earned your 10 points! And by the way, list the songs you played from start to finish!

CaliberKat responds:

Thank you. Who knew I would get more points from a 'guess the song' track than any other piece. And here is the list:
1. Walkman - Lukash.
2. Anxiety - MDK
3. Shock Rave - F-777
4. We'll Meet Again - TheFatRat & Laura Brehm
5. Spark - Vexento
6. Milkshake - Meganeko.

NOTE - I didn't do the speed change, cuz I learned it messed the sound up.
