hella clean
pretty epic score and the drums are hella clean mixed with the other sounds. i like your newer type music. nice almost chip sounding synths. its pretty legit when it breaks down. and as for the rest of the song its hella chill. i like the ending, just tops off that epic movie feel haha also the song loops nicely :} great work as always
Thanks a bunch cebbles :D I tried a bunch of different mastering techniques on this one :D
Digital
Its funny how I am relating this song to Matrix, especially since, recently, I downloaded Megaman 9 to my Wii. Just the digital in itself revolves around the emotions that could possibly be held within the transformation he has, especially witht he final decision he must make : Remain Human and let the world fail, or Become Reploid, sacrificing his own humanity, and save the world.
~-~-~-~-~-~
I feel it tugging upon me, the cybernetics that slowly grafts itself and replaces me. My arms and legs, they are cold metal, no feeling left in them except the pure rush of what remains of my blood, which slowly mixes with the cold cybernetics. I know that, if I change once more, I would be gone. Nothing would remain but a cold heartless steel trap with my mind and heart last to convert. I can already feel my mind already being transferred to the core that now stands proudly on my head....
What has become of me, to become the one thing I hated, to become what I so hunted. My feelings were so set before. Destroy them all, for they will sooner malfunction. Now, I feel compassion to the very thing I hate. I can hear one of them now, my assigned operator calling my psuedo name....ITS name....Matrix...She knows who I really am, yet she insist on calling for me in that name. Have I really become one of them?
"Matrix!"
She is still calling....what should I do....
"Matr-..no....Xander...please, just answer back..."
Still calling for him, still wanting...wait, what?
"Please, Xander, just answer...I don't care if you change or not....I just want to know you are safe, Xander."
She...she wants to know if I'm safe? Me, the human...
"Please, Xander, just answer..."
I want to be human, but I also want to save humanity. To save humanity, I must become Reploid, but I don't want to lose my humanity. Its a conundrum, to want and need to be one, two things so opposite....
"Why....Why me?" I answer...the one question that has plagued me to this day.
"Because...to me, you are the only one who can save us now..."
<3 i love my zach.. I missed you bro .. thank you again for a wonderful peek into your mind :D
Ominous beginning giving way to a crazy synth line
Amazingly well done. I really like the synth melody you created with this. The background strings, especially at about 1:30 are really nice. The only thing I can think of is maybe bring those out a little bit more? Great song though
Yeah, it's actually just a pad from atmosphere tweaked out a bit. I brought all the lows away from it because it was squashing out the bass. I'll try to boost the mids and highs on it. Thank you L:D
holy crap! Check out that lead!
the lead has astounded me! from the start. It has everything, delays, chorus and what not! I is just mind blowing my socks off!
It kind of reminds me of times wher they want to bring DnB and trance together (which didn't really work out that well back then, and progressive trance is the results of that).
But I think, if you would be a part of this... I think most people would be shocked! Drasticly!
Thumbs up! Nothing more to add!
Thank you very much hyd! :D That means alot dude.
I have to say.
