(BLOODY HELL YOU REPLY FAST TO YOUR REVIEWS)
Eh, too bad I´m not the fastest when it comes to writing reviews, so be patient, I won´t stop before all are reviewed : D

Oh, this is so relaxing, I want to just leave the keyboard I am currently writing on and just take a nap while listening to this.

So this is a remix? Hmm... It sounds like something really original because there was no real melody in it, and the way it is played sounds too weird and in-buildt for a remix.

I have heard tunes like these before. I might not have heared this kind of choir, but the kind of singing they sung, I until now thought was unique for Roger Hodgson after his Supertramp era.
In some parts of a lot of his songs later in his career, he sung in this way for an unique effect. (And no he´s not an angel or anything like that XD)

The background was kinda great, some well mixed synths except for the small cymbals which were set very loud compared to their perfect setting, and could either be much lower or eventually turned off.

Originality gets an 8, that´s fair enough.

Clarity gets a 7, many synths and nstruments weren´t great

Diversity gets a 9, it´s a lot!

Effort... 10, do I need to say more, really?

Overall should be 9. Great work stealth.

Sweet, yeah well this wasn't really a remix. I mean I worked with Heather-Lanham. she has an amazing voice. she uploads vocal only tracks to NG and I found them one time and asked her if she'd be willing to let me put some music to her amazing vocals. she said yes and here is the result.

I did all the music so I guess it isn't really a remix as all I started with, was an a capella.

Thanks for another review SBB oh and the reason I can reply so fast is that I'm stalking you! mwuahahahah

Peace Out Man!

Hello friend.

Before I start this review that I owe you, I must warn you, I write really long and usually unnessecary reviews focusing on parts you'd never think about. So, if I offend you, don't blame me, blame my ears and what they are atuned to listen to.

To the song.

I like the beginning. The fast arp sure adds that little bit that makes you go "wow, what the hell was that? I'll rewind that and listen to it again..." And, even as nice as it sounded, I would have prefered more of a beginning to the song, instead of opening with a strong fast arpeggio.

When you first bring in the percussion, there was two things that I noticed that I did not like at all. One, was that there was no drum break in. The beat generally felt weak and it felt hard to catch onto the beat due to the randomness (kind of) of the beat. A break in and a steady snare hit/kick drum would set the mood perfectly.
The second thing that bugged me with the perceussion was that... it was FL samples! You had really nice synths and vocals in this track, but there was minimal effort put into your percussion sample choices because you never took the time to go to Google and put in "free wav samples" or something of the like. Do that, put them in FL, and it'll make your songs sound a lot better, cause then your songs will be your songs, and not FLs.

I'm at the point where there is... only 1:03 left of the song. By now, I really shall say that this song makes good backround music. But thats about it.

Theres no points of interest, other than the beginning and the vocals. You need to have flashiness, good sir! Do cool shit that makes the listeners go "wow, I wonder how long he screwedd around for until he got THAT little trick figured out..." or something of the like.

Speaking of the vocals...

They were nice. They fitted the backround of the song perfectly. But, there was no effects on them whatsoever. There was no long delay on them, no reverb, no EQ so you could get rid of the noise (those frequencies were probably around the 11K to the 18K range. Try eliminating those for an allround better sound on the vocals.) Make sure that whenever you use vocals or any outside sample, EQ them so they sound flawless; perfect.

As for your mastering, I heard nothing wrong. No distortion. The only thing that bugged me there was that you had a few occasional spots where the vocal samples cluttered themselves. But thats not that bad, since you didn't do it that much.

As you will notice, I am giving you all 10s on this review; the reason for this is that I do not give scores. But, I do adress the aspects of the song and judge them accordingly, and I leave the artist to determine what the score should be :)

So, lets go over the scores, shall we?

Originality: This track is generally original, one, cause I've never heard the original xD, and two, its trance in its pure form. Trance nowadays is about flashiness and the "wow" factor to the listeners. But this track is what trance should be... its something that entrances you.
So, in todays trance industry, this is original. But, if you wrote this 10 or 12 or so years ago, this would be unoriginal, cause everyone was writing this kid of music :)

Diversity: It was bland, I hate to say. It had a nice beginning, but the buildups were ever so mild and repeptitive, and the ending just... ended. Nothing special there.

Clarity: You used FLs samples, and those are obviously very clean. But, those vocals... remember to EQ them so they sound very pretty :D The song wasn't so bad so as to not be able to hear anything but noise, lol.

Effort: As I can see, this is an older song of yours, and I have not listened to your newer pieces, so I have nothing to judge this off of. But, the piece of was repeptitive, AND its a remix, so thats drops your effort points dramatically :(

Overall: I leave you to determine that, good sir.

There is your review, friend. Keep it easy;

-BN

Stealth-Emergence responds:

WOW a very nice in depth review!

Prior to you reviewing for me BN, I did ask that you review my newer track, though now I'm glad you didn't!

Not for any other reason than the fact you've given me some brilliant advice and it's come at the best time possible.

The Vocals were supplied by Heather-Lanham whom has an amazing voice, and her vocal tracks can be found here at NG, and I asked, very nicely if she would object to me working with them, she of course said yes! so this was the result.

String arpeggio, lol yeah since uploading it and listening to it through a lil bit I've come to realise that, that may have not been the best idea on my part.

I say your review has come at the best possible time, well I'm soon to be working with Heather again on another project, and am currently working on another vocal track with CapnCrunchtehhpimp, so all your points I shall be adhering to, with regards to the EQing of those vocals and making them sound flawless, So I shall be watching that very closely from here on in.

The beats, yeah you're correct these are FL samples, and I have since been given advice for samples from SasSpoon, which I have taken, aswell as obtained other percussional sounds/beats which I have started using, as I really hate the ones FL provides, they sound awful, as well as that my percussion is something that needs attention too, which I'm realising and putting more time into now too!

The Diversity too I have to agree on, and yeah that's so true. As I know myself that it does get a bit tiresome and samey after the halfway mark, so I shall be attempting to put some WOW Factor into the next vocal piece, that Heather and I work on together.

as for the remix aspect, well I worked with an a capella, so the vocals were the only part that were remixed, thay had no music, now they do!

well Thank you BN your advice has been in depth, I've heard about your reviews, and see now that it must have taken you a while to write this, so that's much appreciated!

Peace Out!

Stealth

holy shit

i can't bielive it it sounded so good! i can't describe this review not at all! it just needs a few stereo tweeks. 5/5 for you man!!

Stealth-Emergence responds:

Thanks for the review dude, but when you give a 5 doesn't the score normally go up?

this was at 4.44 prior to your review, it now sits at 4.04

thanks for the review though!

Peace Out!

Stealth

I like it

more of an ambient then a trance though. Also on sadspoons note, you could add a reverb and chorus to the drums, and equalize the treble out of it to make it less oogamoba(if you know what I mean). I use those, and they really make the drums sound realistic. Also it loops great, I thought it was going the whole time, but then I realized 20 minutes had gone by, lol.

Great music

Good Bye, Eat Pie,
ListenToMyMusic

Stealth-Emergence responds:

Thanks LTMM I currently have no clue on how to equalize treble out of it, if you could shed some light on this for me I'd greatly appreciate that! I've still got to learn the tools in FL >:(

Thanks for your reviews I'll be reviewing some of your shortly

Peace Out!

Stealth

The best

It seems like you put a lot of effort into this and it payed off. One of the best classical pieces I've heard in a long time.

Stealth-Emergence responds:

Well SwordWeilder Thanks! and glad you liked it, didn't give it five I see! lol XD one of the best eh?

Erm well I've got this under Trance! lol XD

Thanks anyway man!

Peace Out!
