Yay, another thread I won't commit to.
This will be my in-depth criteria to judge recognized composers on this site. This is all I can think at of the moment, so if there are specific criteria worth mentioning, please drop a comment on this thread.
Keep in mind that I am judging composers that have a recognizable style to analyze and break down. This is only a handful of people on this site. More users will be added over time, once I have a better idea of how to grade them.
General Composition
Memorability - How easily a sequence can be recalled to the listener.
Composition - Covers chord progressions, technicality and layers of song depth. This measures the composer’s qualitative values in general to make a sequence sound complete as possible.
Song Direction - Determines how well a sequence generally flows on top of song direction being meaningful to the sequence. Contains proper transitioning and buildups, all sections of the song are thought of beginning to end.
Clarity - The crispness of a sequence, detects if all aspects of the song are easily recognized by a listener. Sequences can generate a muddled quality if not volume tuned appropriately.
Completion - Are sequences generally completed or are they small drafts most of the time?
Decomposition - Can the sequence be taken apart easily to analyze how it’s made?
Composer Preferences
BPM Strength - General tempo range that the composer appears to be comfortable in.
Instrument Strength - Instruments that the composer appears to be most comfortable.
Note Technicality - How sophisticated a composer is when arranging notes for one instrument.
Instrument Technicality - Ability to use instruments in general.
Effects - Conducting creative techniques with multiple instruments/note variation to produce an interesting effect that is non-mainstream to the site.
Genre Variety - Does the composer produce varied styles of sequences or do they stick to one genre?
Genre Strength - Which genres the composer appears to be comfortable in.
Composer Options
Percussion - Is the composer able to do percussion (well)?
Hidden Instruments - Does the composer use console instruments to experiment with them in their sequence (well)?
Timing - Does the composer use irregular time signatures or other out-of-the-box techniques to compose music?
Critiquing - Does the composer tend to give specific advice among other composers?
Additional notes may be added to criteria in case exceptions appear.
