the synth were WAY to loud drowned out all the percussion in the track man i mean even with the bass boost on the kick i could hardly here it.
The melody didnt sound bad at all its just synth=to loud.

I was going for more of a melo track with this...
most of my music has quite alot of bass...
I aimed for more of a calming windy flute style..
I thought I got what I wanted with this
but thanks for the review man.. appreciate it :D

I liked the melody alot and the synths you used with it went real well together.
The intro was nice to but just a tad to long.
The kick seemed abit weak aswell maybe if you turned the pitch up on it would sound better and just some more persscusion and it would be a pretty perfect track
Check out my music some time
Peace.

Far out man that was a fully sick track you got there seems like took alot of mastering.
The into was real epic and drak you got that down real well.
I really loved the vocals used it in,they real go well with dark dnb tracks cuase they make you think and shit and the bass sounds like some kid of vocal bass which i really have never heard before but i loved it eh.
Not much i can say about what i dont like about this track cause theys not much.
Check out my shit music if you got the time im gonna check out the rest of yours for sure.
Keep up the great work.

You made everything go well in this song.
I didnt really like the gated pad at the start tho,
It just seemed abit fuzzy and to over poweriong but it sounds like you put alot of work to it and if it was my track i wouldnt know what to replace it with any way.
My fave bits would have to be 2:18 when everything starts to come ion and put you in the trance state then all of a sudden get brought backat 2:57 when you drop everything and put the kick and synth in there which was unexpected and had a really nive effect to.
I didnt get the title tile the end when you had that nice whale sounds in there i really liked that to.
And you beat was well made to.
Well anyways great work man and congrats on number two if allways been trying hard to get in the top 5.
Be awesome for you to check out my stuff man and get a review,after this track im gna keep an eye on you man so keep it up.
Peace

This is a pretty amzing track you worked up here.
Ever things so prefect in it from the strings to the gated lead and the beautyful piano to what i could only think was a high picth elecetric guitar synth?
Well its all so nice and relaxing and has so much emotion and really does have a summer feel to it.
To bad where i live its just turing into winter and were one of the closest countrys to antartica lol its gets cold.
Theres only really one thing that kinda let me down on this track and that is that it didnt really have a nice stronge main melody to it if you knw what i mean.
But all in all one of the best tracks ive heard in awhile man good fucking work man.
Check out some of my stuff one time im not to bad i reckon you will find something youll enjoy on my list.
Cheers for the great song
Peace.
Author's Response:
Thanks.
And I know about the melody, although it returns a few times throughout the songs I really wanted this one to be a little diverse. I suppose that's not everyone's favorite thing, but new things must be done at one point or another. :D
I'm glad to to hear you liked it man, and I definitely will check some of your stuff out soon. :)

One question tho..Ever listened to Black Sun Empire-Arrkis,Cause im getting a feeling that that where you kinda got the idea for the bongo's at the start cause it sounds the same kinda.
If you did dont owrry im not calling you a rip off or an immatater or anything like that.
To be honest i reckon you eat ParagonX9 for breakfast man.
Good fucking work.
Keep it up.
Would be sweet if you could check some my shit out and leave a review if your into trance.
Laterx.

Man this track is one of the sickest things ive heard in a long time of this site man.
A very good cross of old school Concord Dawn with there new school beat man.
I fucking love it man.
Not one thing i can find wrong in this track.
Vocals went so well with the dark synths.
Beat was just outstanding i thought the kick was abit to loud for abit but then i took my head fones and put on the stereo and just laughed at myself.
Good work man keep this shit up you will go fucking far with it.
Later.
Author's Response:
Yes, I was hoping someone would recognize those vocals. Legend was a really dark and moving story, so i had to make this justas dark and moving. Thanks for the review mate!
With all these good reviews, I have decided to setup my studio again ( I took a hiatus for a year (loss of employment, bought a house...you know real life things). may take me a bit to get a new set of tunes, but I will submit more.

A track thats a orginal vocal mix
Alot of the vocal tracks on here are just mostly KateLesing Remixs and get kinda over used.
So big up's for doing your own vocal track man its awesome i love gamingmOld school and new school.
My opion on your track.
Pads at the start were perfect (glad you know that the cutoff knobs are magic on those kind of pads)
Melody was nice and sweet and i love how you used the mario synth (nice mario finsh btw) sound for you lead.
The vocals remind of this old euro-trance song i had i really love about that about the vocals and they suit the song perfectly.
I think i could of been abit louder overrall and maybe use one more synth to go with the the main one to give it more feel and could of used and abit more percussion.
But on that every thing else is good and youve made a great song man and congrats on the top 5 of the week.
I was hoping to get in there with my new track but i guess not this time.
Check it out if you want its called jessica you should get down to it if you got the time,it would be nice to get a review.
Keep it up man your good :D
Peace.
Author's Response:
Thanks for that one:) Appreciate it. I also agree on the Kate Lesing thing, she/it has used up its potential. I do confess to doing a song with her vocals, but hey - I just had to try. Glad you notice some technical stuff like cutoff and freuqency settings. I agree that presets mostly suck. Also, looking back at it - I feel it is a little empty behind the vocals. Maybe I should do a re-edit and add something new. But thanks for your long and insightful review - it makes me happy Im in here.
And yes - we both like euro-dance. Oh the memories :)

The overall sound of the song sounds good but there was just a few things that kinda ruined it for me
Everything goes great at the start till the the lead comes in (dont get me wrong it sounds great mate) but it just over powered the song to much for me it was to high could of been turned down abit.
The perrcussion was abit to quite,it was well put together just the kicks and hats could be loud to add more effect to the song.
But its a awsome song man dont get me wrong i love it good work,keep it up you stuffs looking real good so far.
If you got the time check out my lastest track:Jessica.
Have a good one man.
