Number 34 was disqualified because it plays too fast (most likely wrong sample rate), but still please give it some comments

FYI also for potential voters to read - do not make multiple accounts to be able to vote more than once etc. - your votes will be disqualified. Same for posting on other sites saying "just go vote for me" etc.

Haven't seen any issues yet, but just posting due to past issues with voting competitions like this.

This batch was kinda muffled and cloudy for the most part.

33 seems to be better, even if it's slightly harsh and with too much 650hz

31, I wish it had a little more high end, but just didn't like the others. All seemed like amp sims.

I was dead of 34 speed

31. The rest were either too bright or way too muffled. I didn't enter this myself but I think it could be the bass tones that are separating the men from the boys. Alot of really bassy, muffled mixes overall I've been finding.

My comments on these:

31: My favourite from the batch. Very good overall, would be a really "safe choice" for a real project, but in the end it lacked the wow-factor for me.
32: Rhythm tones sound was maybe a bit under gained for my taste, but it makes the song sound a bit more punk. I would've wanted to hear the clarity on the bass a bit more, now it's more just as an extension to the guitar tone
33: The rhythm guitars have a bit of a bee hive quality to them, and the bass also has a bit of an unpleasing grind to it which summed makes the mids a bit blurry, but the lead tone is kinda cool.
35: Similar rhythm tone as on 33, but a bit darker, which worked better in my opinion.

31: Nice agressive rhythm, the leads make the difference to me to be the winner.

32: In the beginning the rhythm sounds a bit muffled, but I like the mix overall. Leads could use a little more wetness.

33: Nice mix, I like the bass on this one most.

34: Oops.

35: Very close to the winner to me, actually I like the edgy rhythm but the leads are a little too soft to me.

A nice round with mixes that all have their strong point, but still I can just choose one...
