This is pretty exciting. I feel like there is a meaning to this character I have seen dancing across my screen for years. Very nice. It was cool to also see a lot of my notions about Bitey turn into a character synopsis in front of me with an animation. I always thought he was an individual, rebel, but to have the underlying desire for something more was a neat trait to have within the character. Thank you.

This captured the essence of the song perfectly. Great job :)
Author's Response:
Yes, I felt that the essence of this particular song held a great emphasis on "batshit insanity" and I strove to capture that in my work.

"Good writing for this style."
As far as the composition for this style goes, this is quite appealing. I have nothing more to say there.
The mixing certainly needs work. The volumes seem off for this style.
-Starting with the reverse cymbal: I'd take the volume down a small increment (something comfortable for the ears) and if I could increase the pitch some more so there wasn't a low rumble for the cymbal (yuck), I'd go for that too.
-Bass synth: a tad too loud, take it down in volume.
-Bass kick: needs a compressor on it definitely. Can't even hear the kick drum as loud as I think it should be.
-Lead synths: perfect volume, nice.
-Rest of drums: way too quiet.
-Also, as far as panning goes, the panning is missing. Imagine a stage and where each sound is coming from according to what you think, and then pan according.
-I hope I have helped, if you have any questions, let me know!

I like the muted feel of this piece, it adds to the "Untraceable," mysterious feel of tracking a suspected individual down.
I don't know what kind of panning you have considered thus far, but some panning would do great for filling up the entire stereo space. I feel as though it's all in the center right now.
I don't know if there are drums right now. I hear a slight rhythm in the background. I think that is good for a part of the loop/song, whichever it comes out to be. I would start a slow, heavy drum beat at 0:27. If you are curious about that, let me know, I'd be glad to give you an idea as to what I mean. I just don't know how else to describe what I am thinking besides "slow, heavy drum beat."
-Good stuff so far, I like how it's shaping.

I feel like you have a insanely good intro here right now. From 0:00-0:12, I like the synth work. From 0:12 on, I feel like the lead synths are quite muddy. Maybe if that underlying harmony from one of the synths was put an octave higher? Either that, or put a harmony working in thirds above the lead synth you have now. If you don't know what I mean, lemmy know, and I can get you an example.
I am digging the sound between the bass synth and the kick drum. It is a nice balance, not too overwhelming, but it makes you want to groove. Top notch.
I feel like a syncopated string stab of some sort would work with this as well. Something that goes against the four on the floor, but makes the piece sound even more groovy.
If I were thinking beyond what you have so far (as far as what comes next), perhaps the next section of the piece would be calmer with a melodic lead taking over with a slightly different chord structure.
-I hope this sparks up some new ideas!

Author's Response:
Well I will surely listen to your WIP, and thanks for the constructive critisism. I get what you're saying and I'll try messing around with the harmony. I like your string stab idea as well I can really here that now that you mentioned it. Anyway thanks for help!
