A personal message to me? o.o You didn't have to, I'm flattered. ^_^ And I consider that more than enough reason to give this a friendly review.
Now, before I get to actually reviewing this, I just want to say a few things.
1. You use Mixcraft? Well, that answers the question I was trying to figure out of what DAW you use. I use FLS myself. ^_^
2. Default 'stock' instruments can be surprisingly good if used right. And hey, you can certainly use them right.
3. I'm done. Yeah, I probably shouldn't have put this as part of the little "list" of things I wanted to say, but it would've looked weird if I put it afterwards awkwardly. :<
THE GOOD:
-I really, REALLY like that guitar sound, whether it's a preset/default instrument/whatever. It's pretty darn good.
-Some of the harmonies are very very nice.
-1:05 BIRDIES :D That's definitely a much better ending than a simple fadeout.
THE NOT-SO-GOOD:
-The drums seemed very lackluster and dull, particularly the snare.
-Some of the rhythms and harmonies seemed off, and rather odd. Might want to recheck some of them.
-Too darn short! Of course, with default "stock" instruments you generally can't really do much, I suppose, so that's not too bad.
Overall: I'm sorry, I liked Shiver Mountain better - if only because, that one transition. Day-uhm, it was amazing. Overall though, this was pretty good. Could use some improvement definitely, but at least it's not taking off of another artist, right?
