Amazing, best I've heard yet!
As an avid Dragonforce fan, I gotta say: well done. You kept the majority of the song still there, didn't ruin the basics of it with poorly placed "Bass Bumps" and did the original song justice. Very nice.
Reviews for "Dragonforce [Techno/Hardcore]"
pretty good!
i see a big review coming lol
normally the only time I give a BIG review is when the composition was amazing but stunk at the same time. Basically, this track has AMAZING Potential.
If this wasn't meant to be a remix, then you can probably ignore everything I say here lol. But the reason this remix is kinda not working is cause it's too close to the original. A remix is suppose to have elements of the original song so that it's recognizable while still being original on it's own.
Two main ideas I think that could be changed. 1. The solo at 2.05 be not ENTIRELY the original solo. Like if you made parts of it from your own samples. Could keep the original notes, but not original guitar sound. Or maybe layer another sound with the guitar maybe? I'm just saying it's too close to the original for a remix.
2. Which i kinda already mentioned earlier, it's too close to the original. One way I think that I can suggest to change that is to break it up. Literally take different snippets from the song and REarrange them. That's a remix.
I'm a big DF fan so I loved it anyway lol. Funny how I love trance and dance msic too. I'm jealous of your techno skills right now actually. I've been trying to write stuff and it never sounds this good lol.
So in final for you song, I think you're about half done. Maybe 3/4 in my (unanchored) opinion. So keep it at. Think of yourself as a professional. They're picky, cocky and picky. Not to mention a perfectionist. Ya I said picky twice lol.
Keep it ReaL,
UMSL
P.S. if i sound kinda off it's cause I'm doing final projects for school and it's another all nighter for me. I think I've been up close to 40 hours now haha. I'ma lil loopy hehe.

First off thank you very much for taking the time to write this! That's so awesome :D . And thank you for all the input it really helps me improve. Yes, it's meant to be a remix, but I didn't really want to make it sound drastically different I wanted to have certain elements the same. But I do see where you're coming from and maybe I can improve it! Again thank you very much.
OW!
This remix would be cool if you ripped the vocals out of fury of the storm rather than the original mp3 track. I'm sorry, this sounds awful.
ZachPayne responds:
Couldn't find any better rip unfortunately :/ but thank you for the crit!
Sorry Bro, Just doesn't cut it that well.
Yeah... It's not a bad try, but still... I'm with joshoimo.
And honestly, it kinda sounds like you just found an acapela version of the original track, and spliced it with a midi-conversion of something random off the internet.
Doesn't really sound that original at all, and it sounds like the remix was totally scrapped.
If you could try to fix it, it'd be most likely better if you could make the vocals a bit clearer (as in finding a better rip), and then try readjusting your arrangement of this. I'd totally bet it'd be 10x better if you just do that.
Good luck on your productions.

I appreciate the good review! I'm sorry you didn't like it :( . I didn't use anything with midi, I used fl studio and loaded bit of the original as a sample. I tried to do my best with it without effing it up, but I also kinda figured there'd be mixed views on this. Thank you for the crit though I appreciate it!
