much better than many of your older tunes. Quite a bit more like a song this time, catchier too. The bass is a bit low, but good sounding. Synth is a little cheap sounding, niiice melody. Drum samples, you should get some better drum samples, but you really ahve talent making the patterns etc.
Good stuffs
heyyo
Fucking awesome ambient/industrial/heavy remake you made of the tune. The atmosphere is damn excellent, HUGE reverb and panning- I'd prefer if you panned something else than the drums- cause they make the atmosphere a bit shuffled (drums are close, everything else is far away- I think that's good for experimental tunes, but not this kind of tunes).
The drums are really the only thing there are problems with- the panning as I said- plus they make the song clip! (I thought it could be disortion, but, well the waveform shows clipping) If you über compress them you'll have two plus-es in one, NO clipping- and fatter, punchier drums. The hat is a bit hi- actually a more ride- I'd like it sound more like a ride cymbal.
Niiiiiiice sine pad you have in the background, it makes a relaxing feeling before the heavier part, and a bit of emotion. Strings add to that feeling but they're damn low in the mix.
Now what's that slide-down lead I hear? If it's a synth lead- then that lead is FRIGGIN AMAZING, but if it's a guitar- then I'm a little ">:/".
Rhode/marimba/xylo synthesis sounds good as usual, but don't go all crazy with the wetness of it ;)
As I said, awesome remake, but it doesn't sound... 100% finished... there's something about how it ends I think... plus there's not a lot of instrumentation.
I was thinking of making a remake of this myself- from scratch. Cause both main melodies are fairly simple to make. And I tell you, mine will sound more ambient than yours >:[
Knew you'd review this one right away. :D
Yeah, I'm great with trancier drums - remember Nova? :D (Specifically the intro.) Realistic drums are where I fail. :( I'm trying, though, and next time I'll definitely keep your advice in mind.
Yep, nearly all of this is Cygnus, actually. Except for the sliding lead, which really is a synth lead! :D
Thanks for the review, SBB, glad you enjoyed it... True, that ending doesn't make it wound 100% finished - thing is, I wanted to make it longer, but there wasn't much to try without making it boring. :\ So I cut it there.
(That remake had BETTER be more ambient than mine! >:( )
flump
lotsa panning and glitchy fx... there's a few melodic things a little longer into there... this is fascinating. Lotsa lo-fi and IDMishness... could fit greatly for some kind of cave or future factory level in a game... it woulda fitted so damn well
oh and if that is a .rns I seriously want to look at it
Sadly, there is no .rns to look at :(
This was created in AcidPro using VTSi's. There are two instances of Massive and two of Zebra2. I could have used any VST host for it though.
.rns files are tough - I rarely ever use Reason on it's own. Even if I do something almost entirely in Reason, I'll still almost always reWire it through AcidPro for what I think is better control over the different tracks.
That's about it :)
Thanks for reviewing it!
ouch
that's a bit of thumpy kick drum you've got there. Four on the floor beats annoy me so damn much, it kinda takes away a little of the song for me. But anyways, this song is damn groovy, still it has great speed and action. The sound quality and mixing/mastering is a bit crappy, so it sounds kinda like the music is coming from a box which you're standing on. Nice use of the guitar, quite an original twist of a techno song. I like it! Good work!
I'll increase the quality of my submissions soon. Thx for reviewing !
Well
don't pan everything that much, it's annoying. the drums sound really random, and the rolling changes up too little, but holy hell they make a great feeling in the track. That dramatic, adventurish feeling right? Guitar lead coulda been a bit louder. Leads have good melody, but not enough construction. The thing playing from the start could use changing, but it does work very well. Great work, could get even better
I'm very new to the concept of panning, and it sounded really boring without the pan, so I might rework it a fair bit more. Jeez, I never rework songs...
I might see if I can get some adequate drums to break up the rolling a bit. The thing from the start... the cello, I might try to rework a more static melody near the end and change the lead at the end... it doesn't really feel like the best conclusion.
Cheers for the review.

Interesting lil song here, but it still is trancey. Nice phasing and reverbing of that lead. Drums are a bit glitchy, but sound good. The oldschool lead fit perfectly to make a whole new machinic feeling to the song. Nice DnB style drums later on the song. Greatly done song.
Thanks for the reveiw, i agree with the drums needing a little work ive been thinking that myself. Ill see what i can do about cleaning them up a bit before i do up upload at mp3.com

wellh
scary lil lfo'd synth melody you've got going on there, sync lead kinda spoiled that later on though. But seriously, it's quite a good 'scary' loop!
a bit lamey
sounds like it could need a major cleanup- there's just a few generic synths playing off-tempo with fairly random melodies. Drums would sound awesome, much better synths and effect would do so too... This would need much more work and shaping to sound well. You've got a farily good idea of a good song in this tune though.
weh
doesn't sound a lot ambient-y to me except for the start- it's all very very reverbed. The saw bass with a little delay that goes forever with 3 notes, You could've changed it up, or given it some melody- you change a bit of it later on tho
Interesting 'alien' fx and winds, they surely make the ambient atmosphere- but not much
Then there's a new sawtoothe/PWM lead, it's okay but you shoulda used another kind of lead for the same melody, the sawyness gets a bit tiring after a while
percussion, techno thumps and some higher percussion like hats and shakerz, works out except for the thumps- needs more snare and reverbed kick
Really, quite an interesting piece. Did you put a reverb on the master track or something? That would be friggin lazy, but work out excellent
It's a bit more minimal techno (the thumps turned one part extremely ghey) mixed with ambience- But that's for sure a good thing too! :D
Wow, just to start a great review, too.
I didn't put reverb on the whole track, but I used automations like crazy(hence the alien effects). This really is only the fourth time I've really used slicing and automations, but then again I've realized they're necessities!
I believe the lead synth needed just a tad more on the volume and filter, but I didn't really think of what you suggested. I'll keep that in mind.
Like I said, thanks for the review and trust me, I'm not even close to being done with this fascinating program. Catch ya later!
interesting title lawl
For once I can hear the vocals excellent. Sounds a bit- early pink floyd or supertrampish
the whole thing is dipped in a whole lotta reverb, so the piano sounds almost like a pad. A little plucky acoustic guitar I could imagine would sound great
cheers SBBBBBBB,
the reverb thing is a shame, sounds really murky, i did the piano and lead vox a couple of years ago and all i have is a wav of the 2, no way to clean it up.
