Super awesome! I love tracks like this one. The use of the instruments and effects were really well done. Nice opening track to 2014 :) Keep up the awesome work!

Thank you, I really appreciate that :D
I thought I had reviewed this song. Oops xD
Anyway, I love the atmosphere in this song. Very nice and tranquil while also holding a somewhat adventurous tone to it. It's like we are getting ready for the battles ahead, but before that happens, we are experiencing some time of peace. I'm getting that type of vibe from this song. Very good!
What programs/instruments did you use to make this song? :D
ty, I mostly used synthesizers like Harmor or Harmless for different E-Pianos to Rhodes combined with some chinese instruments and also some electric orchestra xd
Very nice beginning. I like the overall vibe of the song. The tempo was good too. Not too fast and not too slow.
Maybe you could add some variety to notes played by the instrument introduced at 0:11. For example, every fourth beat (after the 1-2-3-4 count), you switch up the notes used (while staying in key of course). It sounds like you were using the same notes over and over with that instrument at the beginning.
That is an interesting bass at 0:30. It's actually pretty sweet! However, it is too sharp and loud throughout the song. You'll want to EQ it and/or turn down the volume so that it is not so overwhelming on the listeners' ears.
The way you used the drums/percussion in this song was good. I would have liked to have seen you try using various other electronic drum/percussion elements and rhythms in this song too.
Your transitions were good. I especially like what you were doing at the section at 3:05. I would have loved to have seen you extend that section and do more with it. It added a welcomed change to the song.
Overall, not bad. Not bad at all :) Just keep at it, and you're just going to keep getting better and better. Keep it up!
Thanks for the detailed Criticism Genie! I'm actually in the process of finishing another song I've been working on for awhile now. Going to give another take at the WIP song and try to incorporate what you've shown to me with this one. Thanks again. The sound at the beginning was used in two patterns 2 different patterns. And thanks on the Bass! That is a original sound I created using TranceDrive, a free plugin, but I see what you mean. I fought with it during the mastering process, that was probably the resulting effect. Had it overdrived and distorted. I'll be sure to keep that in mind. at the time of this song's creation all I had was IPod ear buds during the entire process, now that I have some studio ones, I can definitely understand what you mean.
Thanks again Genie.
Aw what a pretty mix :3 You did a good job of capturing the essence of the original "File City Night" song. If I could give a suggestion, I would ask you to lower the volume of the strings/pads just a bit, so they do not overwhelm the main melody too much. Besides that, I think you did a good job with this mix. Keep up the good work!
Thanks for the tip and thanks for listening. :) Yeah, I have to admit, it was pretty hard leveling the volume and there was a major difference in my laptop speaker and my earphones, so I couldn't tell if the strings were too loud... :P
Hi! I think you did a good job with the construction of this song. The instruments worked well together. The melody was good. The mixing sounded good too. Your hard work shows through this piece. Keep it up!
Thanks!
Cool! I think this was a nice remix of the original. Are you planning to do more remixes? :D
ofcourse I do. If you go to my profile page you'll findout that I have a playlist with my remixes.
Well dang. It's tracks like this by peeps like you that make me think "Wow, why do I even try with my music?" LOL! XD
No, in seriousness now, I cannot tell you how professionally well done this track is. The guitar was off the chain. Did you play piano too? I totally LOVE the piano in this piece.
I don't drink cocktail, but I still enjoyed the song nonetheless. Keep up the awesome!
Thanks man. When I made this I'm sure it was something I just 'whipped up'. Piano-wise, I played the odd bits in the background by hand but the solo was programmed. I'm a pretty weak piano player.
Interesting. Very interesting indeed. Kudos to both you and the lyricist. The song has a Halloween type of vibe, especially with that ghostly sound going on in the background. I look forward to the PV! :)
yeah it does give out that ghastly vibe and thank you for listening
