Nice...

I liked your improvements, it seems you improved the song very much, and you made the right ones, since this version is way better than the V2...

The sounds variated a lot, it was pretty cool to see different instruments in one song, the beat was very cool, and the main riff was perfect, I think that's a well made riff, you made a great job mixing those instruments for that main riff...

The drums were cool, too, it fitted very well and it made a special addiction to the song, you made a completely new one, nice man, I really liked this one...

The lenght was nice, the instruments were well chosen and the beats were very creative and well made, I just think there is missing just something, but I can't say what it is, I'll wait for V4, let's see if it deserves a 10, man... Keep it up w/ tehe great job, man....

THX, i'm kinda busy nowadays so v4 won't be here anytime soon problably.

Nice improvements

I've just listened to V2 again and I like V3 better than the previous one. You made some nice changes to this song without changeing it too much. The basics are still there, the nice melodies and the good beat, but now the song is... well, different.

I like the intro with the deep sounds and then slowly the melodies come in.
I also like the break at 2:01. It just happens at the right time: Shortly before the song gets repetitive you put a break in there, nice timing. :)
It is a bit abrupt at first, but I think it fits in there nevertheless.

I'm also glad the instrument at 2:12 now sounds a bit different. I like the new sound of it, it didn't annoy me as it did in the previous version.

So, overall you made some very nice changes and imrpoved the song a lot by doing so!

PS: I thought about the score I should give you for this for quite some time and finally decided to give you 8 stars. I wasn't sure wether I should give you 8 or 9 stars, but I think for 9 stars there's still something missing. Maybe that something will be there in V4? :)

thx, really means a lot :D

Hmmm.

I'll say, for what it's worth - I'm very happy to see you take all our comments on board so well, and make such positive changes! Super props for that!

I'll start by saying, the drums sound great now. Just maybe consider bringing them to the front (raising the volume of them all). . Next bit is only me being EXTRA PICKY xD. drum sounds, (especially the snare) don't really drive the song forward enough. . maybe look for the "amen break" drum kit? That being said, doesn't matter too much. Great improvement from v1 and v2 indeed!

One more thing regarding the drums at the beginning before the speedup, maybe consider changing the drum pattern a bit as I hear the snare rush doesn't have quite the same effect as when the tempo is quicker. You can disregard that if you don't think not (this is just Anwar talking)

There were a few filter sweeps that were too highly resonant with the filter and seeing as I listen to music with headphones I felt myself turning the volume down at times (even if it was only for a few seconds). - Both drums and synths. I'd suggest maybe just turning the Q/Filter Res down just a tad just for the end of the filter buildup.

Synths were fine, I've got nothing overly bad to say about them. Just that pluckish thing maybe turn it down just a bit (only slightly) it seems to over power the drums quite a bit when it's soloing with the drums. Maybe you may wanna pair it up with a soft string synth for effect? o.o <--- just me being me there.

Structure was awesome, kept me going throughout. NO COMPLAINTS THERE! :D Let me just say I loved the changes in chord progressions and notation on interval. Very nice there! :D The ending made me chuckle with the glass breaking, pretty cool. I also loved the way you kind of had nothing playing for a very short time and then came back in again.

Great improvement indeed, this is what makes reviewing stuff worthwhile. Thanks for sharing this, I'll download this and dance to this on the bus hehehehehehe.

The vocals gone? Oh well, doesn't make a difference xD.

thx, your "EXTRA PICKY" reviews are what makes people improve.

funny, i listen with headphones too but it doesn't sound bad for me :/

pairing the pluck with a soft string.... nice idea there.

O.o the glass breaking was at the start not at the end, there was a hit at the end.

Dancing on the bus sounds fun :p

Makeing the drums louder is a great idea \o/
thx again.
