My submission for a remix of a track by Ruben Pinho, called Without a Name. Releasing on Overtmind records.
This is my second remix for the label. I'm hoping I land at least 3rd place. That would be super.

I hope you guys enjoy the preview =]
Thanks!

Wassup man?? Haven't reviewed in a while so hopefully I can still give the same style of critique :D I tried lookin' up the original, but couldn't find it so I'm just reviewing what I hear and not based off the original. Let's get started!!!

1.) I'm enjoyin' the intro to the song, but I don't think you should have the beat then a drop. I think you should just start the intro with the rise up with the chords. I love that little percussion since you have at 0:45. The intro is just so chill and relaxing, I love it!!! Also, that fx at 22 sec. threw me off a little bit cuz it was so loud compared to the actual chords, but the 2nd time it happened, it was in sync. Maybe make it with a longer lasting fx or a reverb clap. Nice job on the intro :)

2.) I like the transition on 1:14. The one thing I suggest is make the delay on the crash set to 4:00 cuz it goes offbeat when it's at 3:00 for the timing. Unless it's the fx itself. If that's the issue, then just get a crash without echo and add the echo yourself so that you can have the delay on time. That bass is really pumpin' it also. I love those glitchy vocals too. Where'd you get those anyways?? Nicely done!

3.) I like that string breakdown, it sounds awesome!!! What vst did you use for those anyways??, cuz im curious :D When the full beat kicked in, I was jammin' out. The only suggestion I'd say is add the bass you had in the 2nd breakdown or like a dirty electro bass or somethin', that'd be awesome!!! But that's only a suggestion, becuz I do understand this is trance, which would probably change the genre too house. Great work on the actual main section of the song.

Overall, this was a nice preview. It's a good transition from your normal style. I will defintely listen and review the full version when it's out :D

I just want to say thanks a lot for the extensive and detailed review. I read the whole thing XD

1.) Since this upload is a preview, I don't have it start at the intro. I am only allowed to upload a 2min preview, I don't want half of it being just percussion, lol. That drop into the chord progression is the initial drop after about 2min of intro/1st verse. I don't want you to be confused but that is not the actual intro.

2.) The vocals I got with the remix pack, loved em so much, just had to mess with them! Glad you liked em, since they weren't glitchy in the original.

3.) I used "Orchestral" for the sting breakdown. I love using that plugin if I want a nice raw orchestral sound. I did want this track to be an uplifting/hard trance. I wanted the nice driving bass, but with soft and uplifting synths. I was considering adding some breaks in the synths for electro bass, but I thought that would bring the track in a new direction that I wasn't sure about.

I'm very happy with the score you gave me, I think it's fair corresponding with your review.
Hopefully if my remix is selected for the final release then you can listen to the whole track in it's glory. If it doesn't get selected I will probably upload it for a FREE download on Newgrounds/Soundcloud.

Again, thanks for the review man!
