A+ is good. I will never turn down an A+. Thanks for another quick review!
I applaud to you, good sir. And congradulations on another wonderful beat. If you don't mind, could I use this song on another one of my animations?

Thanks for the review and subsequent props, animegirl! I really dig those shiny stars. If you would like to use this in an animation, you have my blessing. Welcome back, btw! :)
Hey man! This song is really nice, haven't heard something like it in a long time. It's very mesmerizing and atmospheric, even trance-like. I do have to agree with John on some things though. I like the kick, but if you decide to rework the song, please take a look at this:
I would say to use the warm kick 13 which sounds like a better version of the kick you used, warm openhat 5 overlaid with your current hihat, and warm clap 1 with a good reverb. I think this will spice up that drum track really nicely. ;)
As for everything else, I wouldn't touch any of it. Even though it's all made with Sytrus, it all sounds good and fine to me, I feel that all the instruments went well together to create that awesome atmospheric effect. One thing I would do is try a little bit of stereo enhancement in the master channel and see how it works out. I feel it would do the whole track a favor and increase its atmospheric effect effectively, as long as it's not overdone.
Please consider this and let me know if you rework it so I can hear it! In the meantime, I will give this 4.5 stars. It's not bad though right now, but can be better really easily. Nice job on this. :D

Hey, Sonic! Thanks a lot for the great suggestions and these clean samples, man. That's decidedly awesome of you, and I will definitely see about upping the percussive stakes on this track with these shortly. I'll let you know via pm when I've uploaded a revamped version. Adding a bit of stereo enhancement to the master is a totally legit idea, too. :D
Really appreciate the 4.5 stars. Thanks so much for stopping by and leaving a review! Glad to hear that you dig it so much right out of the gate. ^__^
I really like it. My favorite part is the formant lead around 1:00, I thought that was really well done. However I just really don't like the drum choices. The kick sounds too electro, the clap is weak and too frequent (I think a louder, more reverbed clap that happened less often would be better) and the hats really don't mix (too high?). I hate to be so whiny but I think this would be a really amazing song if you were to take the time to really get those drums working.
I also thought that the second half was not as compelling as the first half, it really didn't grab me as much. The formant is the showstealer here imo. Also I didn't really like the instrument choices like the weird stringy thing around 2:00 or the plucks around the same point. The only instrument I really liked was the formant, I dunno the rest just didnt resonate with me. THOUGH it could be because I recognize them as sytrus presets (or they sound like sytrus presets) and that is blocking me, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.
All in all I think it's a really good song, sorry I complained so much about it I think I just like doing that.

It burns! It bites! It freezes!
But seriously, even though I really like this a lot on a personal level, your opinion is very much appreciated. Dangit though, John...I really like that kick! It's just so nice and punchy. Rawr! lol Nevertheless, I can agree that the clap doesn't really stand out quite as much as it should, so I'll definitely tweak it soon. That being said, I really love the way it bounces between being Ambient and sometimes more of an EDM vibe. I like the hats too, but I'll grant you that perhaps they could do with a bit of transposing.
Eh, we all have different tastes and such. I was hoping that you'd really enjoy the overall sound, and you did say that you really like it (mustn't forget that!), but maybe the fact that I made it purely using Sytrus instruments did more harm than good. Of course that was the point of the exercise and I had fun doing it, so...yeah. Formant is just plain awesome all day every day, so I certainly can't fault you for that opinion.
You're such a complainer! But I love you for it all the same. You know, like...as a fellow dude...who makes music and stuff. Nothing weird. Obviously. :P
Grain of salt taken, and honestly...thank you very much for taking the time and effort to leave a review. The harsh critiques just make me want to blow you away all the more, so that motivational undercurrent is the real takeaway for me. Hope you'll keep dropping by from time to time. Stay awesome.
