Reviews for Instrumental #4 (Karco Remix)

[Reasoner]

Well Worth The Wait.

Alright so I finally get to hear what you decided to do with my track and I'm really pleased that you decided to go in a different direction from the original. When I started up the track I already kinda had an idea from demo's you had sent me, but it's nice to finally hear the finished product.

I'm intrigued by the chord progression you chose. Obviously it's not the same as the original, and I like that. I'll be honest, my ears took a little while to get used to it simply because I'm so used to the song flowing in a certain way (this would be due to the 100s of 1000s of times I've listened to my own...ugh). This is nice though because i really feel it gives the melody a dreamy, lighter then air feeling that I don't think the original was able to achieve as well.

I felt the breakdowns and buildups for sufficient for the type of feel you wanted this track to express. A part of me really wishes that you had included another synth or piano line to play along with the original melody at certain points. That's just wishful thinking on my part though.

And then 5:01 comes in and I smile. Just as when Bjra included the counter melody, so did you and I thank you for doing so. Without it my impression would be much different.

All in all this is a really great dance track, and I'm glad I was able to spark the interest in it. I'm sorry that this is going to be your last submission here, but I'm honored you chose this to be your exit out. Keep me posted on your new submissions wherever you decide to upload them at.

Karco responds:

Hey Reasoner, looks like you liked it. :D Thanks!

I do agree another synth would have helped the track quite a bit, and many others have suggested the same before you have. Thing is, I didn't want to clutter the mix too much, or divide the listener's attention, and I simply couldn't find a good synth to fill that role anyway. I wish I had, but the track seems to hold its own pretty well regardless. :)

And yes, the idea of including the counter melody pretty much presented itself to me (silver platter, bright blinking lights around it, you get the idea) right when I hit the second break. I couldn't turn it down. ;D

Thanks for the review and high ratings, Reasoner! I'll be sure to keep you updated. :)

Stunning...

Anyone who raters this below a four has a grudge against you, or hasn't listened to the full song. I mean, this is without a doubt one of the best, if not the best, remixes on this site.

I thought the beginning sounded pretty good, just what I should expect. Then :54 rolled around and a smile came to my face. I'm serious, I actually smiled. This is what I've been waiting three and a half months for. I listened throught the rest of the song, without pausing for a second. Then I played it again. This melody never gets old. Big cheers to Reasoner, but this remix is every bit as good. I loved eevry bit of it. The drums sounded great, the bass was clean and not overpowering, and the two-note synth you had playing every bar to go along with the melody never became tiring. I even heard some dynamics in here, which I normally don't pay attention to in trance music.

I agree with Reasoner, this remix gives a stronger feeling of dreamy, airy, bliss especially with the counter melody. I can see why you titled it "Karco's See the Light Remix," because this brings beautiful images to my mind. I just want to sit and listen to this all night with my eyes closed... Wow. I'm still stunned at this.

Fantastic work, Karco, and now I know how talented you are as of now. I'm thrilled that I checked your profile today, and that I was among the first to hear this amazing remix. I can't wait to hear more from you!

Karco responds:

Thanks for the kind words Lamplighter! Not too much to respond to here, though those dynamics you heard may have been a sometimes subtle lowpass filter I put on the piano. :)

Thanks for reviewing, glad you liked it.

[Lost-Wisdom]

I'm impressed.

This remix was astounding! I mean, for you to spice it up as your own was just great! I applaud you with the added beats, and to be honest, I think it made it much better.

Great version of Instrumental #4.

Karco responds:

Thanks for the kind words! :)

Awesome

Karco,
I really liked this one. It was awesome. Where do you find all your good drum samples? I seem to have a little trouble with that. Just wanted to let you know that I like your song and great work!

All of the drums in this track are VECs 1 and 2. :)

Thanks for reviewing!
