It's very well done, but the panning is a little off. All of the instruments are coming from the left, you should spread them out to increase that "surrounded by jungle" feeling. Other than that, it has great composition and amazing instrumentation. Another musical home run for he Maestro!
Author's Response:
is it?! I didn't notice any panning extremes. I will have to open the file and see if really somebody is sending something to the far left.
Thanks for the heads up and the review, i'm glad you liked it!

I agree, the vocal at 1:20 is a little out of place, but other than that it's a solid trance song.
Author's Response:
Yeah i agree, it's out of sync.
Just if i had the original file...

This is a nice nice, simple, calming loop. I like it. You might want to consider making the drops a little less piercing if you're going to edit this. Otherwise, nice job :)

Well, I can't say that I like that I like the vocals, but that's just my musical taste. It's a well done trance song none the less and I hope to see some more good work from you in the future :)

This song is very badly done. It's an irritating loop played over and over again with some fades at the end. Really nothing that special. IMOP, this should be removed from the portal :/

Well, this is a very crowded song. It's full of very piercing noises, so it is a little hard on the ears. Not really all that sad either. This could become a good song, but I think that you need to... devolve it a little. Simple would be better in this case. In summary: good idea, bad instrumentation.
Author's Response:
As I said below, the piercing is intentional, hitting just where the woman is "Calling out." And that a Halloween piece can be still sorrowful.
Hmm, maybe I did overdo the layers on it however.

:D Somebody else has played the Myst games! Well, this is very well done, but it's a little too techno-y for my liking. You know, this has inspired me to go remix some Myst songs! Specifically the title theme from Exile! You are my muse ^_^

It has a pretty nice rhythm, but it's a little hard on the ears :/

Well, this is the second best remix of the song I have heard (after AP's). The one thing that bothered me was that it got cut off at the end, as if it were supposed to loop, but other than that your remix was great. I loved how you brought in the piano, it's a nice classical touch on a dance/techno song. I was actually thinking about making a classical remix of PAradise on E, but I decided against it :P 10/10, 5/5 (If it means anything to you, I strongly dislike Karco's remix. Too much percussion.)
Author's Response:
Yeah, boo to karco's remix :P
I think I accidentally cut off the ending when i exported, it wasn't intentional.

"Great idea, but has a few flaws."
It's an interesting idea, but there are three things that I don't like about it.
1. The piano sounds like it is being played by the computer. You need to hide the "computerized" feel of it by making the notes a little longer or adding more reverb.
2. The song sounds somewhat empty. You should add a couple more instruments. Another idea would be to take two pianos, have one play the low notes and one play the high notes. Make the low piano sound rich and meaty (kind of like it does already), and have the high one sound barren and thin (achieved by correct reverb settings). The effect of this can be increased by having slight variations in the pan of the two pianos.
3. There are many areas in which the harmony is lost, and it just sounds like somebody is slamming as many fingers as they can fit on the piano.
Other than that, I really like the song. Especially the little sequence between 2:17 and 2:26. That was masterful. In fact, I would kind of like to see the midi for this, I might be able to work out a few of it's problems. Nice work!
Author's Response:
Hi!
Yeah, I forgot to change the reverb and volume settings on this :/
This is the piano only version, and so contains - piano only :P However, the next version is nearly done, and I'll probably add in a second piano.
Help would be much appreciated
