"Good song, could of been better"
date: November 26, 2005
I liked the ideas you had with the notes and such. Sadly that bass was just too damn loud and distracting, even though it is a good bass sample. The piano felt as if there was no reverb on it, which really takes away from it's realism and mabye some panning might of been good. Same on the strings, but instead of panning you could of also kept the piano on the right ear and had the strings jamming on the left
I did enjoy the forest in the background though, even though it would of sounded better with the crickets more to my left & the owl more to my right
The drums where alright...but I bet this was just a Dr.REX playing your drums, which is sad because I hate preset drums but they worked good, mabye too mono but still good
The arrangement isn't really original, but for an NG song it works good, I just wished there was more variation in it other than pretty much the same loop played twice, you really could of cut this down to be a smaller song and still just as good
My last problem was that this could of been a full song but you didn't take that extra effort into really finishing it, just left it as a loop and let it out saying, "look world, MUSICS!" That's alright but you could of done better with this
Still, it is a first try with new software, and for an NG song this is pretty good, if you have any questions ask me

Wow, you must know a lot about Reason. I don't know too much about mastering and enhancing, but I am trying to get better at it. Thanks for the tips.
