I think I would rate you at an A.
Your music seems to take from multiple OS users (I'd say Vlad/Syntax/MTN/gax, cork if I had to look really close). I can see how those guys inspire your music but I still think you have enough personal flavor that I might be able to tell that it's your music.
You sometimes do impressions of me (which I think it's a running joke on OS at this point) and I feel that they're getting better LOL??
For "lucent's #1 hater" you sure do listen to my sequences a lot and unironically incorporate a lot of my musical decisions. But we're here to talk about you, not me.
Your melody/chords are pretty fair. Again, I'm not going to rank low because I'm not amazed at the way you compose. There are some sequences that I do like in terms of the chordal atmosphere and it's rather distinct per sequence. Your compositional palette seems to be pretty tight-knit and it's come a long way since you first joined the site.
Percussion is pretty above-average but it's pretty standard too. There's not much I can say on it aside that it fits your general sequencing profile.
I think you're more interested on the hardcore-style FX department on OS and you're doing a good job discovering things that you like to use in your sequences. I'd even say that you're actually more hardworking than I am trying to find new things.
The most relevant advice I can give to you right now is that your sequences would benefit more from panning. As far as I can tell, you're not doing weird things to EQ—but even if the instruments are clear I still feel that they clash somewhat in the sound space. I checked your mixing and saw that you don't use panning so I just wanted to put that out there.
I think my favorite sequence of yours might be In Time and that one Untitled in your featureds. In Time had some really pleasant chording and some very cool FX going on, but I just liked Untilted because I knew it was supposed to be an impression of me :p
In regards to the chat, I used to be a little hurt from having a stubborn hater but I stopped minding it at some point. I think that our relationship improved after having dealt with random kids on this site. In general, I like sharing interesting sequences with you, and every now and then I like listening to some of the interesting things you show me. You're not particularly sweet, but I can tell that a lot of the things you say come from a place of honesty. At the very least, you're not the kind of obnoxious person who unfunnily attacks other people on the site so I really respect that.
