Agree with Naysly
If you turn it down just a bit before you export it in FL it'll sound a lot cleaner. The melody comes out over the bass well though, so that was good. The minimal percussion suits it aswell. I'd also turn the brass down a tad also, just because brass is very dominant, so you can turn it down and it'll still be heard in the mix.
Not bad, it's just those small issues, resolve them and you'll have a nice track.
Okay, thanks. Your comments have been noted.
Drums too loud
That's my main issue, also, I think it would be better if you brought out a more prominent melody alongside the quirky harmony and bass. Apart from that, it's pretty good.
Cheers.

Thanks for reviewing! Its supposed to be intense, but I guess it would do a bit better if it was quieter... However, due to the mastering (not mixing), the drums would get covered up if I did that.
Beat
Ok, I've got to say that I love the beginning, it just gets straight into it. Very powerful kick. Catchy tune, awesome beat. Synths are sexy =P
Progression is pretty decent. It's a great gritty dance track. 2:15 new section introduces the lighter synths I was longing to hear, that section is a little too short, I think. It's got a nice, almost Irish jaunty swing to it.
Top notch dance track.
WB
Hey! =)
That part at 02:15 is also at 00:40.
It is kinda short because i think that its just a part to slow down and to make it a little mysterious. heh
Thx for your review =)

Here's what I think
Too much going on in the bass = not so good.
Choir preset doesn't work.
High end blips are annoying.
Progression needs to be mixed up a bit more, otherwise you need to make it more catchy. Melody around 2 mins is dissonant.
This song is weird, all those clashes of instruments and pitch, were they purposeful. If so, then it's kinda good, not really memorable. If not, then you've got a lot of work to do before this song becomes decent.
3/5.
Well the musical idea I was going for is the slow confusion of messing around with LSD, so the opposite instruments and pitch were on purpose as I thought they added to it, giving it that confused, odd, and yet still in motion feeling.
This tune has grown on me.
But I think this one requires a major makeover in the mixing department. The melody is so hard to hear, the bass is way too loud and the accompaniment only makes things harder to hear. The tune is great, but it's unfortunate that it can't be heard clearly. Other than that, it's a great piece. I said it on your other pieces, but this one needs mixing most, and I know you're only using the FL demo, so you won't be able to edit it, so I'll just say that it's your biggest issue now, and keep that in mind for your future songs.
I'll give this one a 4/5, if the mixing was better, I'd give it a 5.
Okay, I'm practicing the mixing now, thanks for the tip.
Cool
It's great stuff. Your improvement since your cousin has been helping you has been immense. I've got an issue with the piano though, it's way too beefy for my taste, if I could change it, I'd shoot it up an octave and disperse the melody and some of the harmony off to some other orchestral instruments, for some extra variations.
It's still a great track. Maybe focus a little more time in the mixing.
I'll give you another 5. And now, I think I can add you to my audio favs.
Great work knux!
Thanks WB, I quite liked this one, It sounds epic, the power of FL keys is great isn't it, My cousin is an angel she is, am I'm sad to see her leave, she might be over next weekend if I'm lucky.
Glad I came up to standards.
Loops well
I can see you're stepping up and making better audio. It sounds great, but this song requires better mixing, the piano is way too loud and drowns out the other instruments, which is a big issue, considering that it's only the harmony, not the melody, and since the lead is harder to hear, it sounds more repetitive. it loops well though.
Keep em coming, knx, I'm liking what I hear.
I'll give you a 5 to boost the score.
Thanks, I am getting better, thanks to my cousin.
YES!!!!!
This is some great work, knux! I'll consider it collab worthy. The blend is quite decent. My only issue is the quality is a little fuzzy in parts (may just be my computer though...)
I'll 5'en this.
2.95/5.00 (+ 0.36)
It should be well above that...
Congratulations, it's a hit!
Thanks, I worked hard on it for days and just when I was about to call it quits, my cousin showed up and we stormed the FL program.
That's funny
Because I planned on writing a song today and I never quite got past the finishing line. In fact, I only just got through the beginning, then started on something else. Well, actually, I downloaded a bunch of VSTs today and I was testing them out. But now I have two loose ends. Lucky I wrote two loops yesterday. I suggest you check them out now >: (
Please?
Neways, about the actual song...
Drums nice, bass nice, piano nice. I like the piano. Atmosphere is good. Strings are great, the echo is nice. It's good to see some awesome submissions already out in 08.
I don't know what else to say, well, this song is smooth, rig, and it sits well for a 5:37 song, which is nice. It has a soothing, almost ambient feel to it. Good job. 5/5, 9/10.
=D

PS, you suck eggs!
lol 10
I suck eggs? Is that...BAD?
lololloll
Thanks for the review! I'll check out your loops, don't worry ;D
By the way, the guitar was made with a free VST called String Theory - download it from www.ugoaudio.com
Hey, this is some cool locomotive music.
It's got a great vibe, high energy. It put a smile on my face.
The instrument blend is great.
High 5!
And ten.
Yay writersblock! :D thanks for the so far always nice words :D glad you liked it! ^-^
