yeah, I might make an all classical piece sometime soon. I just like using lots of different sounds. Thanks for the review.
Hey man, great song!
Very good song! Liked it alot, actually a little bit of a flowing feel to it, only things i just kept thinking about was when is the climax coming and that how you could have maybe added a bit more hardness to the song, i know its maybe not like PURE techno hard stuff, but i think that maybe having some more bass and harder kicks might help you out.
Ill first ''help'' you with getting a more hard sound, now i THINK that i hear some preset FL kicks in here, if they are VEC (vengeance essential clubsounds) i would recommend to use a harder kick sound from it, but im pretty sure this is an FL preset kick. What you do is go to www.thepiratebay.org and type Vengeance Essential Club Sounds vol 1 and 2...download them both and also download the house essential, vengeance really have some good drum sounds! And really sounds in general that you can have alot of fun with, i advice you not to rely on bass/synth sound from Vengeance samples, i see you wont be needing them though, since the synth/piano in this song is a really good sound =]
Now a climax is just a part in the song where everything comes together, and kind of just settles the listener, this song had VERY good parts, but it never came together all in one part, it was just more of a song with parts rather than a song with parts forming to be a song, in other words i can say that the song lacked ''a point'' Now i think that construction and overall energy are two VERY important factors to carefully consider when putting together a mix. You have your intro, your verse, your chorus, your bridges and so forth, this song i would say consisted mostly of an intro, bridges, and then an ending, the verse and the chorus was missing!
Beside that, dude, this was an awesome track! As said the parts that were in was very good, catchy and very complex and original! I hope to hear more from you soon, and please feel free to PM me when more is out on NG, or if you just want to show me something in private over MSN or something, this was all in all a good song!

thanks for the review man. This stuff helps a ton. I was just thinking about downloading Vengeance and "Nexus" {{i think that's what it's called}} right after I finished this song. I'll try to work a good climax into my next song for sure. It sounds like that's what everyone wanted. Glad you liked it.
Definately not bad:)
Fist off I can hear your song has a lot of focus on the piano, just as in your previous song:) You're pretty good at making nice piano melodies, but I dont think the piano alone will do it as the base of the track, if you know what I mean:S
Try n' make some breaks or something where you use the piano, instead of letting the piano play practicly all the way through the track.
ANYWAY! As for the synth:
It gets a little boring in the long run, and I almost get tired of it before the song even ends:S
Your kick and your bass is nearly non-excistant. Try n' turn those up a notch. Perhaps you should put som diskant on your kick as well:)
Your hi-hat thingy needs work as well.
When thats said, I can hear you're doing a little progress, even though I gotta admit the theme was better in your previous track.
You deserve 7/10 nonetheless:)
