I'm voting straight 10's because i'm unimaginative, and I have MSN open to moan at you about various flaws in the track etc. Not that there are any.
Also, Review #40.

If it was played on real guitars instead of cheap midi substitutes, it would be SOO much better. The drums were a bit too weak and tinny, and the bass wasnt... bassy enough. Good arranging, mind so keep playing until you get it.
If you cant get the guitar sounds, consider mixing this as trance or dance.

I know an inported midi when I hear one, especialy since none of your other tracks have nearly the same compositional or performance quality, which sort of kills the fact that there was any effort behind the piece at all. The point of remixing a track is you put the notes in yourself and make changes as you wish.
As for clarity, it was clipping out A LOT, especialy when the lead vocal instrument came in, and to be honest it wasnt really a remix. It was sort of a re-import with some shitty defualt instruments.
Either way, keep at it and try to make some stuff of your own, it still shows you're learning how to use your software...

Its very, VERY gothicy sounding... maybe influenced. Its a great sound actually, would be at home in those dark video games...

ya I think I was influenced by NIN a lot - that whole "i wanna fuck you like an animal" drum sequence - then I made it sound more industrial - it was originally a lot like that song at first..

My head inadvertantly bobbed to this track, though I feel you could have looped it better instead of just fading it together

Tis a good cover. Very good BUT it CLIPS horribly. I mean seriously, it dosn't even compress, it just CLIPS.
Turn the master output down, you're way above maximum volume with those drums hit, which REALLY pulls the mark down.

I can't see what you mean..

I havnt heard this one remixed properly yet, and this was a pleasent suprise. It wasnt too bouncy, like many other covers of it are, or too staccato and it had a great feeling to it.
One thing I noticed, was the alto strings on the first part missed a note out of there at the end.
Yours went C# B Bb B Bb B G F# and missed the Ab on the first time round, but not the second, sounded a bit odd considering it was carried with the Ab the rest of the way through.
The other instruements sound great, and are introduced excelently. One problem I did have was either the tuba, or the trobones seemed to sound very parpy after the xylophone. It sounds like it should be taken up an octave to me. Also, turn the volume on that xylophone up. At that point in the song, it holds the melody, but it was being drowned out by the other instruments.
Excelent orchestration though, well done.
Author's Response:
Thanks; Constructive Critism is great to have laying around.
As for the string thing; I know.
My brother commented that as well.
And as for the tuba; I turned the velocity a bit too high at the end; making it too dominant; and it should have been up in a higher octave.
the xylophone isnt that dominant at the real thing either; I checked.
But it could have given a touch to the song if i did turn up the volume.

Weirdly artistic, as far as contemporary music goes. All you really needed to do was make up some bullshit reason why you composed it, i.e. to express a certain part of your emotions...
