Even to seasoned users, sometimes the thought of a particular round at NGADM is scary. I had envisioned, last year, for instance, that TroisNyxEtienne v Waterflame would take place, yet I wasn't expecting it to happen at the semi-finals. But if you know your composition and mixing are good, believe in that -- and whatever happens from that point on, happens.

If I somehow even get into Round 1, I feel prepared personally. Composing this album has taught me so many new things after hours and hours of simply playing around and studying/learning new tricks overall mainly in sound design but also my Mixing/Mastering is starting to become cleaner. Half of my new tracks make the piece I've entered sound rather... Lackluster :3
I'm sure you will get through a few round fine, just remember to stick to your strengths and give it everything you've got :)

Crap I forgot you are entering too! This contest gonna be tough like an urchin...
Well good luck, and if we ever made in to face to face with each other, it shall be my honor to have battle with you.
Anyway I am also cooking some nuclear weapons.
