Good start

The drums in the intro sound pretty strange, as if I was listening to them standing outside a large hall while the drums are played inside the hall. Maybe take away some of the reverb there.

After the intro the kick gets a lot better and I like the melodies you created here. They sound very catchy and I think you could use those as some kind of leitmotif in the finished song.

Later on, at around 1:18 the song gets very messy with all the stuff going on there at once. Maybe if the song developed longer until it becomes this "messy" it would sound better, but right now it just happens too quickly.

Nice

Well, I don't know the original, but the remix sure sounds interesting. The intro is pretty cool. It starts right away with that amazingly hard kick as if it was trying to say: "Hey, this song is going to be HARDSTYLE!" heh.

I like how you slowly introduce the melodies. They fade in over the hard kick, which sounds very interesting.

But during the song the kick sometimes overpowers the melodies, which doesn't sound that good, as the kick gets a bit annoying towards the end (yeah, this is propably the reason why I'm not that much into techno -.-).

But anyway, the song is still pretty nice. :)

I got a response ^^

Thanks for the input :) Tis' appreciated.

Nice, but could be better

Batman is cool, this song still needs to be a bit to be as cool as Batman. Parts of it sound a bit wrong. For example you shouldn't let the "danananana" part play while at the same time we hear the "BATMAAAN" part (I hope you get what I'm trying to say, lol). This sounds dissonant and if I remember correctly (and I'm pretty sure I am as I can play the Batman theme on my guitar :P ) it's also different in the original theme.

But I really like the 8-bitness of this track, so this song still sounds cool, yet not as cool as Batman himself. ;)

Thanks For the feedback

Good song

This is a very nice song. The melodies are very catchy and they create indeed a very good christmas atmosphere. Also, I think I know the song you remixed, but I just can't put my finger which song you remixed exayctly, heh.

The bells are a tad bit too quiet sometimes, especially when the main melody is playing (for example at arount 1:40, the bells can't hardly be heard).

But other than that the mastering is done very good!

DJ-Chilvan responds:

Haha, thnx! Yea, I learned an array of mastering techniques and applied them to this song. I'm glad you liked it. The name of the song I remixed is "We Wish You a Merry Christmas." It's VERY popular here in the states, like, it's impossible to find someone here who doesn't know it=P. Well, I guess holiday tunes are different in different parts of the world=).
Thanks again!

Good solo

This is a very good solo. Especially the first part is very soulful. But the last part (the more faster part) doesn't fit that good here, I think.

You play a lot of notes that just don't sound so good to me. Less is more here, in my opinion. ;)

thanks dude appreciate the review ;D maybe one day ill get a nice soulful song done for you :D

Very ambient

Very ambient indeed. I like how the song constantly seems to fade out and in. This creates a very special atmosphere that is hard to describe with words. It seems as if I am/my soul is floating above the scenery and I can see and hear everything, but I can't control my actions (or I am unable to take any actions at all). While I'm watching everything that happens around me, the image seems to flicker in front of my eyes. It becomes kind of foggy and transparent, then it becomes clearer again...

Anyway, while the atmosphere is nice the song is very repetitive. That's why you get "only" 8 stars from me.

Tykwa responds:

This is more or less, lots of automation practice, its repetitive yes, Ill try and improve :) thank you for the review

The experiment was a success

Yeah, the intro is quite long, but it creats a very nice atmosphere. Very relaxing.

But after the intro is over it suddendly isn't so relaxing anymore. It now is a mixture between relaxing and powerful, heh.

I really can imagine people dancing to this in a disco, but I can also imagine people just sitting there enjoying the nice melodies.

However, I think the kick could be a bit stronger, especially in the second part of the song.

Tykwa responds:

It's kind of too long, so it goes from almost ambient right into something strong and something else, I might make the first melo slide in a little more timely and spread out to transition a bit smoother...

The 8bit parts don't fit that good here, I think. Particularly with regard to how they sound a bit dissonant. They propably are supposed to sound like this, but I still don't like it too much. ^^

The more classical parts on the other hand make this song sound very nice. They are well composed, except for the drums. They could be a bit louder.

Overall a nice song with some flaws here and there.

Good song

A very epic sounding song. Maybe even too epic, my speakers crackled all the time during this song. Yes, I have shitty speakers, but maybe the song is a tad bit too loud, because on other songs here in the AP I don't have this problem.

This aside, the song sounds truly amazing. I especially like the drums here. They create a very nice backing track for the other instruments. They also sound very militaristic, which fits very well to the melodies. They too sound like a "marching song", or a "present the army" song.

I didn't like the "pre outro" at 4:16, though. It sounds a bit strange there and the beginning of the last part is a bit abrupt as well.
But overall the song is very nice.

DJ-Chilvan responds:

Thanx for the review! I'm glad you enjoyed the song! Yes, it is a pretty epic song, it turned out a lot more epic than I thought it would =). I did have mixed feelings about the pre-outro too but IMO it turned out pretty well; i try to make my endings as epic as possible=P.
BTW, this songs sounds extra amazing for me because I finally completed all of my personal victories (see my response to Zouk's review)
Thanks again!

Good song with nice fade out

This is a great song. I like the slow and careful build up you have here, this makes this song very interesting for the listener.
Also, the melodies are very nice, they get stuck in your head very quickly and they create a very warm but somehow also an almost melancholic atmosphere.

I'm not so sure about the brass(?) we can hear at around the middle of the song, but the drums sound very nice.

However, I also like the very slow fade out. I think it works really well in this song. Normally I don't like fade outs as they are overdone, but here it works very well.
