Ok, I spent almost 4 hours making this song. I finally figured out to work the reverb effects thing. I really hope you enjoy this one, because to me, it sounds like something a pro remixer would make

"4 hours? How about a couple more?"

by: lupinbebop

I'm pretty impressed that this track only took you a whole 4 hours to complete. I think you could have done some more with the reverb and sketch with this one. I like the retooling of this classic Sonic level. As I am a Sonic fanboy, respect goes for choosing a Sonic theme. As I am a musician, I have to tell you that I think you could have done a little better. You did good, but I think if you'd put a little bit more time into it, you would have done a LOT better. I think you should check your drums and sketch a little, as I heard a random click or two (or maybe my mind is still a little fried from the lack of sleep). If you put 4 hours of work into this one, I would really love to see what 8 or even 12 hours of work would net you. It's hard to find true mixing talent these days, and you're showing me some potential. I really can't give this one a 10/10. You did technically remix the song, but you didn't make it your own remix. Kinda see what I'm saying here? Make it yours. Make a unique track, while still paying homage to the original. You have the potential, you just need to apply it to your music. As you didn't really wow me, I can't really give this a 9, either. It is pretty cool sounding, but really a different remix. I was a little deflated while litening to it, because it started off pretty awesome, but stayed on that plateau throughout. I DID give you a 5/5 for showing your talents in only 4 hours of work.

thanks. the reason it took 4 hours, is because i have the demo of FL studio 8, so saving the work is out of the picture. also, logging off closes it out. so usually when i make a song, i try to pick a time where i know i can stayed logged on for more than a day. family of four, i cant hog the comp... idk if you've listend to anything else i've posted after this song, but i seem to be showing some improvement. i was actually thinking about coming back and taking another shot at this one. i've been practicing with little 35-50 second loops that would be fit for a zelda dungeon or something of that sort. some of them are pretty catchy too. so i'm thinking that if i do decide to redo this, it will be better, completely different, and will be my own remix. i will definitly try this again now at some point

anyways, thanks again for the review, 7, and your time in listening!! glad you enjoyed it!

"Well mixed"

by: vortexphoton

date: November 24, 2009

This is a great remix, and would be perfect for so many things, like cave music or puzzle music. One thing I would recommend is to make another version with more bass and deeper synths. Just my input. Wonderful stuff, keep it up.

anyways, thanks again, glad you enjoyed it!! :D
