DDRKirby has the solid track that captures that beach feeling and blends it well

daisu64 also captures that beach feeling - I really liked the lead work, those lead details.

cryref22, that one is worth working on afterward. the melody is really pretty.

TheVideoGamer - Man i just love these like this so much. This track is basically a bright and uplifting tune, made in a 145bpm breakbeat style. We have two breakbeat layers, one acting as a percussive layer, the other is the main layer. There is also a lot of trancey synths, playing some super sparkly chords in Bb Major, as well as various pads both phased and unphased complimenting the chords. The main melody is simple and whirring, but it tells a lot with a little. This track is mainly about the arrangement, we stickt to Bb throughout, mostly relying on the extreme uplifting factor. There is 3 sections in this with section A and section B getting repeated quite a bit, and Section C being an outlier, mainly to break things down. This track isn't the best mixed, but i tend to focus on the composition anyways. The only other things worth talking about, is the C major chord that was added in the middle, to make it a bit more spicy, and the liberal use of arps in this. All in all, i kind of love this, but that's because of these themes. Give me themes like this, and i give you music like this. Oh well, glad you liked it!

DarkShadow - Classic DarkShadow sawtooth action in this one. Quite the dark tune, totally not fitting for this theme haha. It feels final boss like, kind of suited for pokemon or something. The mixing is pretty good here not gonna lie, but the melodies were hard to follow along personally. I sense potential, it's quite good, especially for it's style. Good job!

Thirdkoopa - Ok i see you, you're going the metal route. Not what i was expecting for this theme, but i dig it. That is one phat tone, it's so hard hitting. To be fair i see you a lot in 2HTS, so really it doesn't suprise me. The drums could do with being a bit louder for me personally, it kind of gets lost in the rest. I'm glad you fixed it either way. The guitar melody is also lost here, but i don't know if that's intentional it's hard to say. Either way amazing guitar tone, just needs a bit of sprucing, even if not theme appropriate to me. Nice work man, good job!

DDRKirby(ISQ) - Now this is a beach sound if i've ever heard of it. Totally what i think of when seeing these images. Not expecting SNES sounds, but it doesn't matter, because the melodies are what makes it. Some of the changes are so cool, i really feel like i'm in a RPG but for Mario characters, the melodies are very relaxing and dynamic, but with the perfect amount of seasoning to make it so cool. The changes are great too, so much going on for 3 minutes. Absolutely lovely stuff, so lovely i placed it on the top spot, incredible work!

Wassup Thunder - Gritty rock vibes in this one. Kind of feel like we should be in a music video, but playing the guitar, everyone's on the beach. The track totally gives me that adventure feel even if the theme doesn't call for it. The orchestration does give it that classic Wassup style, otherwise i would assume someone else to be fair heh. Melodies are wonderful, and the mixing is great. Guitar is that balance between real but sort of artificial. Again i am biased towards certain styles when it comes to certain themes, but this is lovely either way. Well done!

Jxsl - Dayumn i like these chords. It's part happy, but part, i don't know mystical? It's hard to describe it, but it's lovely stuff. Drums are quite mellow, but it goes great with the chords, quite catchy. I do long for a melody here, we have this killer progression but nothing to finish it off for me. There is sort of a melodic idea at the end, but it's too quiet for me to notice. Still though, the chords are sick, i sense a lot of potential here. I'm contemplating whether to give it to you, and in the end, the chords won me over. Well done!

Arcana - Very soft and mellow. Sick bassline, and chords. I can sense you went for that kind of jazzy vibe. Melody on the vocal is lovely, and drums are kind of funky. Some parts of the chords do clash for me, i think there is a note chosen that just doesn't work. The vocals are also kind of mildly pitchy at the end, but the vibe is so cool. I sense a lot of potential here, it's very cool stuff. Good job!

Daisu64 - Bossa Nova les goo. Now that is some funky latin chords, and a eargasmic melody. Man that is just one excellent melody. The changes in this are lovely too, you keep adding in things as we listen, it's smooth, not too in your face, and packed full of exceptional melodies. My only minor critique, is maybe for me to add a tiny bit of reverb in the main guitar line, however that's it. The rest is awesome, especially since you managed to prolong two chords without it once being repetitive or boring. It was more than enough for the 2nd spot, i loved it. Incredible work!

Turbo852 - 24 seconds? Am i reading that right? Is this a complete render? Because it cuts out after 24 seconds. Nice steel drum melody and percussion, it was...something lol. Good job!

Cryef22 - Soft bells, this is definately the unwind tune, kind of fitting to end here really. The track is predominately synth based, yet it feels weird organic and pure. There isn't much in terms of mechanical sound, even for a synth based piece. This one is a slow change, there's a lot of things happening over a long period of time, yet it doesn't feel repetitive or boring, it's actually lovely. Drums are extremely quiet in this for me, but i don't know if this was intentional. Melodies are beautiful though, this is what sold me really. The rest is great too, but it's really the melodies. This is just lovely stuff, so lovely i placed it third. amazing work!
