The vision is there and I really felt what you were trying to do, but the execution was sloppy. The lack of timekeeping really messed this one up. 80's music was a lot more mechanical and simple. So maybe if it wasn't so cluttered it would be much easier on the ears. Try doing less next time if you wanna give it another shot. I suggest listening to Kenny Loggins or Genesis if you haven't already done so. Good luck.

Thanks. This is...my earliest work. It was THE first song I ever made in a multitrack with an awful soundcard and an original 80's synth. My timing was off, it's totally done without any loops, I don't think I used a metronome either lol :) This song is respectfully 3 years old now, It's always needed lyrics. The most unfortunate thing is that I can't bring up a master copy to master the individual tracks any better because I had a huge data crash and lost all the master copies of my 200+ songs. Lesson...Backup your stuff regularly I learnt the very hard way. This is a response to all 3 reviews. Thanks for your time!

I'm gonna try not to repeat what everyone else has been saying. This is something I'd expect from a fairly seasoned Trance artist. Something in your sound just stands out. There's a line between good and excellence. This song has crossed that line towards the latter in my opinion.

I'll assume this was just a joke. I chuckled a bit so, mission accomplished I guess.

This made me smile. Very, very nice work here. Certain chords were a little iffy, but the transitions were smooth. The 8-bit sound was clever. It probably wouldn't have been as interesting if it didn't have that sound. Good stuff. Keep it up.
Author's Response:
Definitely, I will keep the good work up :)
-Yeah, one of the chords bothered me, but it had a nice transition to it despite the sound, so what the heck! Take a risk, right? :P

This is definitely one of the most impressive works I've heard on the website. My only gripe was the ending felt cut short somewhat. Maybe if you'd have extended the cadence by maybe 8 more bars to give it that extra Beethoven-esque flair, It'd get a 10 from me. But that's just my humble opinion. You've got the grandiose movie soundtrack style down to a true art form. It's inspiring. What software did you use to make this, if you don't mind me asking....
Author's Response:
yeah seriously I completely agree that definitely would make it more beethoven-like
which brings to mind his fifth symphony where he ended with a cadence of 29 c major chord hits.
I was trying my best to make this NOT movie soundtrackish.
this was intended to be as classical as possible
I used Garritans Personal Orchestra and Edirol ORchestral
sequenced in Cubase SE
thanks for the review
