Man, you included one of my favorite things - acoustic guitar. Great job on the composition and mastering, really enjoyed this piece.
Author's Response:
Acoustic guitar really does sound nice. <3
I think the best trio for bringing out emotion is Violins, Piano and Acoustic guitar. :)
Anyway thanks, happy to hear it. :D

The lead synth is nice, once you develop and arrange this it should be awesome!

Really nice progression in this one, the arp patterns really come together nice.
The mixing and EQ is something else, gives it an euphoric air. Great work!

This is a pretty tight mix, although it feels a bit empty on the melody/music side. Try adding in a pad or something to fill it out. Your SFX and over all mix is good though. Nice track.
Author's Response:
When you say that I should add a pad or something, what are you refering exactly? to add a new melody and include more variation to it, or just adding a pad to the main melody. If so, where you think I should add that?
thanks!!

Fruity limiter works sometimes, but I'd suggest learning to use a multiband compressor like Maximus or a mastering vst like Ozone 3. They will help you keep the entire song balanced. The kick is not the problem, it is just that entire low end is not compressed and is killing all other sounds in the mid-range. The music is great, however it repeats a bit much. Great mix overall.

Well done - but bring your master volume down, its clipping to hell.
Author's Response:
Yeah, I noticed, it sounded fine in my speakers but I will make sure of that next time.

One of my ALL TIME favorites - I've loved this song for years. A good rendition of the original - in my books far superior.

Awesome work! The composition is pretty much perfect, emotional and non-boring (its a word right?) Just grab some better drum/intrument samples and this will be amazing.

Song is great, well mastered. Only complaint is that the vocals are being hidden behind the instruments, I can only pick out a few words at a time. Try "Companding" them a bit, (expanding the dynamic range, then compressing it - in order to get a "louder" over all vocal take, its explained on Wikipedia a bit more, also called Serial compression). The soundscape of the instrumentals is impressive, the reverbs match and the individual channels don't interfer with each other.
Author's Response:
That's the thing, in the original, that problem was even worse, the vocals could barely be heard over all the other sounds. This time around, I turned down the hats, the lead, and increased the vocals accordingly. There may be a few trouble spots still, but there are a lot less now.
Thanks for the feedback and advice! :D
