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

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!!

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.

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

Hmmm, it felt like the mastering was cluttered on this track. Instruments and channels were colliding with each other, while this gives is a "full" sound it also hurts its clarity and stereo image. As Sycross said, the drums were spread too far from the center of the stereo image, and the reverb that was on them didn't match the rest of the track. If you cleaned up the mastering and fixed the drums I think that this would be an enjoyable song - keep it up!

Thanks for the review... Yeah, I'm trying to get better at mixing down but it's taking me time to find my way up the learning curve. I got sometime today, I'll go back and see what I can do. Thanks.

Awesome, just need a more "persistant"(?) synth along side the pluck/arp synth to make it more lively and fill it out. I'd be glad to give you some ideas - or help ya out.
Besides that I absolutely loved the track, vocals are perfectly processed and chopped, and the exisiting synths are well chosen and balanced!

I'm glad you like it!
What do you mean by persistant though? Ahaha PM the details... :P
Thank you for the review!

"A decent remix of a favorite song of mine"
If you use Fl studio you can fix the vocal sync by simply dragging the acapella into the automation section, it'll show the full waveform and you can chop it up into easily sychable parts.
Nice work!

"Whoo! Light Collab kicks ass!"
Awesome job, totaly going to rock as a part of the collab. Love that arps and bass synths/patterns.
Drums and mastering could use work, but thats about it - I love it!
Author's Response:
Glad you like the patterns!
Ya this one was a bit tricky to master, might be all the synths plus that flimsy bass that sort of just glides under everything, very "thick".
Anyways, thanks for the review!
