Boring intro, the lead-thing is random sounding, badly mixed and ugly. The chords are bad, and your transitions are VERY badly planned to say the least. The synth is not very good. I'm sorry, but I can't find much nice to say about this tune. What I can advice you to do is to try and start off making a good tune with 4 channels and then add channels when you feel you make something audible with those. No use in trying to control 16 channels if you can't control 4.

A nice start start to the song - upbeat and lively. The transitions between sections were clear and nicely done. I found the instruments the author used to be over done - perhaps a change of instruments would be in order. During the course of the song, the author changes to a different key - and a strnage transition it is, however it continues it's nice sound and enjoyability. The ending as well could use a little work - the author left the listener hanging at the end think "where's the next note?". Perhaps the author could have finished the song with a nice chord or something that would give the piece a sense of closure and completion. Truly, some very nice things happened in this song, but with a little work it could easily attain a higher mark. Well done.

For the first 6 patterns of this song, I thought for sure that I was playing Star Control 2. Which isn't a bad thing. But then at pattern 8, the strings came. The transition was rough enough, but the strings did not go away. They just kept playing. Which was unfortunate, because they really took away from the rest of the song. I kept asking myself "why are the strings still there?" The chord progression was nothing really extraordinary, but it was washed out by those strings. I thought the samples weren't really that bad on their own,but they suffered from poor usage. The panning needed some help. Decent opening, not so decent finish, with some spit and polish this could be a cool SC2 retro song.

[Filename]m6r-cr16.xm [Title]Condensed Rythem 16 [General comment]Hmmz.. the rythem is nice but not special, your song scenario in overall is good, your breaks are okay your transitions are connected fairly but your key-progression is getting dull, your chord-scheme doesn't change and it takes a long time before the main theme dissappears. Your instrumental timbre is small, too small, i was missing various extra's in musical aspect, your sfx are okay.

This guy build it on drums / yes good name of song /. They are use on good panning positions and they are in good Q. Not bad strings. But I was still awinting some mood break or some deeper idea.
