I also use some couple random ones from Acon, Audio Damage, and Steven Slate
Thought I'd chime in.
There might not be anyone actually reporting your material, but materials (samples, hooks, vocals, etc) that you used that has been previously reported and flagged which in turn flags and takes down what you posted...
Kind of surprised no one has brought up mixes.
Biggest downfall in the past 2-3 years has been mixes, and how the mix complements the sets. The biggest decline hasnt been dancers skills, choreography, or gimmicks but the diversity and complexity of mixes. Every compt you go to you hear the same...
What Mans posted is a great start, but google what samples you need.
You wont find exactly what you need but you can also run it through to make it work.
There are quite a few companies that release sample packs related bollywood and bhangra such as bollywoodsounds and goldenaudiochild. (Quite...
I really liked this!
One small critique try to bring up the vocals a tad more.
Only thing I didnt like was the tremolo/effects (only at certain points) you threw on the original songs.
9. What do you think was the trend for this season?
Mixes dropped in diversity and quality. Nearly all of them sound the same compared to 2-4 years ago. Its all about "hype" (aka trap, bass, hats, snares, etc etc). If you compare mixes back when APD, BMW, and AEG (when Karan made the mixes)...
You havent searched hard enough then.
They are from other songs, samples, sample packs, and such.
I have thousands of vocal samples like those. Keep looking.
Concepts are good, but dhol needs major overhaul.
Recording is okay, but the processing is nonexistent. Sounds like you just recorded the dhol and threw it over top.
First congrats on placing multiple times!
Pros:
Choreo: was fun to watch
Song selection
Biggest critique from me are:
Why is there such a huge discrepancy between each performance?
Everyone seemed like they were just doing their own thing. There really wasnt a sense unity or team in...
Beats over power the song (this is probably subjective). When I mix I make sure the main focus is the song and not the stuff added. Biggest irk was the quality. Each song sounded like it was just ripped from youtube. (aka below 128 kbps).
3:04 loved the concept. Has a lot of potential. The...
So according to couple of you guys, just blame the pagh tier for not tying paghs properly instead of captains and dancers learning the proper etiwuette and respect. Every year this happens, it always comes down to "dont blame captain or dancers but someone else."
Why is this even a discussion...
Here are SCB's mixes from from AKD, R2B2 and MCB.

It always seems that way. Everyone jumps on "shit happens on stage, they apologized, and lets just move on" train.
It's the captains as much as it is the dancers fault for the drilling into the minds of the dancer. Everyone should treat chunnis and paghs with the up most respect and take...
