but good god dude you have to MASTER your songs.. it just ruins the whole experience.. I cant properly judge this song because everything is too damn LOUD! And god that acid synth just ruined it.

You need to get a bit better dude - thats all I gotta say.

as I am more critical.. for the good of all that is. So you made this on a ps2? Interesting... unfortunately I must say the stereo quality is terrible. It peaks a LOT - if it wasnt for the terrible stereo quality this would indeed be a stellar song - however - the stereo is r4eally bad - sorry :(

2 sexy ppl making music together :P

vocals had a bit of fuzz in the bg.. but otherwise its pretty nice ^^ - guitar is really nice - bad_man's voice is like a combination of lars and fred durst's.. but in a good way hehe :P - the wind at the beginning was a nice touch - hehe I'm glad I didn't enter this competition ^^

but yes overall nice! But who is doing the duet? Is that the same person? Neways it sounds cool :p

the whole song could use some polish here and there but overall its a pretty good song :P

hehe typing at the end..

sadly I don't have my headphones on me so I am just gonna respond to your response of your other review - you were confused about my desctription of "home in the audio field"

what almost EVERYONE on this site doesnt realize is that the stereo field is not limited to left and right - there is foreground.. middleground.. and background. and also up and down.

here is how it works:

what you are used to:

pan left - pans to the left
do nothing - keeps it in the middle
pan right - pans it to the right

what is left:

bring to forward stereo field - increase high end
send to back stereo field - decrease high end
rise up - increase volume and a bit of the low end
lower down - decrease volume and a bit of the low end
buff up middle spectrum - increase middle end

^--all eq stuff btw--^

a combination of all this stuff will treat your song as if it is in a 3d sphere instead of a flat piece of paper.

Also investing in some good filters to widen your songs a lot will give you a bigger bubble to work with :p

hope this helps!

and some more advice:

bass and low instruments are best in the back spectrum
main instrument is best inm the middle
accompanying instruments are best in the front left and right
and drums can be with middle left and right or back left and right

and some pretty subttle reverbing for proper everything and you should be good :P

hope that helps!

that this is the first ever remix of yours that I am disappointed in.

Honestly I expected more from you - the piano and the harp were steller man - i was really happy to hear those parts - but the rest - wtf? They werent inpactful at all! And their volume was less than desirable.. and some parts were off sync but I'll forgive you for that.. and .. ya.. perhaps if i hadnt done a version of this as well.. but compared to mine.. there were just too many parts that failed my expectations of you. I'm sorry.

well at last I get some time to review this.. intro.. needs something,, not sure what.. something to fill it out a bit.. perhaps ambianec in the bg.. ya thatd help. Nothing to focus your mind of.. maybe cave ambiance.. that sort of thing.. I like the main synth tho.. not sure what it is tho.

It does hit the sense rather nicely tho.. a nice variety in the stereo spectrum.. you need to listen to more 3d sogns tho.. you got lots of nice stuff.. its all up too close too.. you'r ingoring the background.. its like making a diorama and making the background BLACK. You gotta add more dimension.. layers and layers of soundyou got acceptable layers.. they will satisfy most ppl.. but not me hehe :P

and.. so it ends.. it needs more direction hehe.. didnt really add up to much.. I realize its more of an ambiant listen but it has to LEAD to something regardless.. Neways hope my rantings and musings helped you out.. was just kind of thinknig out loud as I went hehe.. :P

you rucklo and kingbastard all seem to have a sorta similar style.. I should try and use Reaktor more.. I can always just internally record the samples I guess.. the guitar sounds amazing man! I thought you actually recorded it hehe.. as for glitchiness.. it coulda been a bit more structured :P

good job..

(how the fuck do you add a score to something like this..?)
