"Hahaha.. Rock."

submission: Feel Good

You went the exact opposite way with this than I did. I like. I sped it the hell up.. and you slowed it wayy on down.. very chill, very nice.

The dissonance gave it a horror-y feel.. also.. the use of heavy 'verb in spots gave it a nice ambient ring as well. Some parts don't match up as much as my ear wants.. around the end of the 2s.. beginning of the 3 minute area mainly.

Otherwise, I love the rhythmic vox chopping in the end there.

I gotta check out more of your stuff now.. can't believe I didn't see this before.

"A lot more detail."

submission: Castle of Tears: Bloodlines

And it brings new life to it. I really pick up a lot through headphones.. I'll have to play it through the 5.1 later and see how that sounds as well. I'm going to bet that this ran up your processor quite a bit, it sounds like there are a lot of new patterns involved.. and the EQing and compression is spot on as well.

The only thing that kinda turned me off was the water-droplet type sound in the beginning.. it just kinda pierced the mix a bit more than would be desireable.

OOOoooh... I like the new break that starts at 5:15.. that's really sharp. Actually.. I like the whole new addition you have there.. the break.. the build.. and the outro.

Overall, excellent reworking to a song that was already great.

"Sorry it took so long to hit you back =|"

submission: [AltS]- Cliske

date: August 3, 2008

Anywho.. love the bell leads. Kinda roundish in the manner that things come together. The structure is interesting, albeit a bit cluttered in parts.. especially around 1:40. The ending was interesting.. I liked how you reversed things.. although I'm not too sure on the train wreck you created, I definitely give you props for setting it up that way.

A very creative work overall.

"The only thing I'm whining about..."

submission: B0UNC3 remix - Snakeman - MM3

date: August 3, 2008

Is that you decided to upload this the same week I finished my Castles remix... >=(
I'll never make the top 5 nao! lol.

On the note of actual reviewing... The mix is a little rough, which I know is because.. well you didn't mix it =P

However, things are still pretty well balanced. Also, when the sidechained pad comes in at 1:07.. that's real nice. So, don't worry about it, it's just good that you are uploading again.

On that note though.. you say that you made this to test some things out for Potc... does that mean that your Pirates remix is coming soon as well? Anyway, get on IM more you bastard.. lol. I haven't talked to you in a while.

5/5, 9/10 on the song. Even without mixing.

"Very chill"

submission: Cloud Forest

date: August 2, 2008

The pads come together real nice in this. It's very smooth and chill. Around 1:25 the lead pad kinda eats things a bit, it's not too bad.. just a little hot in the mix there. This is good work though, I like it!

"I want this played at my funeral XD"

submission: Khuskan - Tombstone

date: July 4, 2008

I can't believe I didn't stumble across this before now, because I love your work, but wow.. this is great.

I have no idea why there isn't at the very least a flash devoted to the song.

Anyway.. I'd normally use this space to offer some sort of helpful criticism.. just couldn't find any.. so..

"Lot's of variety. Almost random."

submission: (FMC) -=Self Destruct=-

date: June 12, 2008

This is very varied in sounds, but I do wish for something that didn't sound too FL-ey.

Just the way it is put together doesn't appeal quite as much.

However, it is pretty interesting, and I can appreciate the random-esque video-gamey feel you have going here.

"Gah."

submission: Groovy Drum and Bass?

date: June 12, 2008

I think I said earlier that I wasn't complaining about how competitive you guys were making this contest..

But now I am.

The drum-work here is excellent. The synths are fun. And... it packs a lot of transitions into a short amount of time. Very nice.

"Great chill music."

submission: Missing Light

date: June 12, 2008

There isn't really much to complain about. This is just a high-quality, smooth production you have here. You definitely tuned the standard FL stuff to it's full potential in making this. I dunno, it is just enjoyable, and even loops nice.

You will make judging this contest difficult, but I'm not complaining about it.

Good stuff.
