Love Original, not enough though!
I actually LOVE the original of this song especially the "scratch, clap" drumbeat.
You showed the clap well, but the scratch was imperfect.
The repeating synth was way to high pitched, it would be better if you lowered it some because it caused some unpleasant head-feelings.
The main synth definitely needed to be stronger. it was as if the main melody didn't exist.
Next time: Use the mixer.
Nice Attempt
It wasn't bad for an over remixed song!
The drums were perfect for conveying the "heavy" theme, but the guitar was neither heavy enough nor distorted enough to be perfect.
The bass distortion was a very nice touch.
Good Job!
Nice song! I can see you tried hard to make this! The main synth fits the style well, though the chorus part could use some variation.
Its not really trance, or at least hard (ParagonX9-esque) trance. It is nice and does fit.
The violin actually matches with the music for that stage.
I didn't really like the drums. I would have preferred something less like a kick and more like something that would fit in with the short synth and violins.
Overall, nice song and I can see that you worked hard on it!
Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
...But I liked the drums :'( Oh well. Thanks anyway!
Didn't do too much!
It seems that you took the midi, added some random instruments and submitted it, taking no though to anything else. Here are some tips.
1. Always look at the mixer! As great remixers such as ParagonX9 and PaulStetich have shown, the volume of a part compared to the other parts is essential for a good song.
2. Try some new instruments! Use Sytrus and mess with the knobs! Have some fun while producing audio (yes, even people who don't produce flash get to have fun)!
3. It was very repetitive. Try changing up the song through minor tweaking in the piano roll or adding new parts. Remember, changes can be subtle, as long as they are there!
Hope this helps!

yeah i know i didnt do a lot with it its because its just a cover. and idk what u mean by took the midi and added instruments i made very single note. i agree tho its not the best
Some notes and other stuff...
First off, ParagonX9 is a girl. About the song...
Um, the melody was OK, there was wayyy to much background noise though!
The main melody (the one thats supposed to be HEARD) was very muted and didn't really get enough emphasis.
Next time, it would help to not only try harder, but to make a longer song.
Although ParagonX9 is known for short remixes, they're accepted because they are BETTER than longer remixes. Making a remix that isn't as good but is still short will NOT get you appreciation like it did ParagonX9.
Try a bit harder next time.
Ok... first of all, i just wanna let you know im still new to making music and i wasnt trying to copy him. i mearly made a remix of a song i liked from one of my favorite games. I didnt know about noise reduction filters when i made this, i didnt know what a compressor was, i just plain messed around with the piano roll. and as for the longer song, have you hard the original song is only about 15 to 30 seconds long and loops over and over, minly because its from an old game, but also because it was meant to sound that way. not to mention, i have to make all my songs in one sitting because i dont have the full version of fl studio so dont tell me to try harder when i did the best i could at the time. if it would make you happier i could re do the song with less background noise and with more effort. but realize this, i am not as good as some of the other people heere nor will i be as good for a long time... Douchebag.
Arrrghh!!!
Wow... I love the spirit of the song, Sonic rocks, but the actual song was messed up. There was a whole lot of fuzz obscuring the melody and rhythm. Try to use the mixer to get rid of the fuzz.
The best reason for the fuzz is that your song is clipping. Try and lower the sound of certain instruments. Also, when you get the song from the midi file, you CAN delete tracks if you don't know what they are!
Well...
It was repetitive and not really interesting to listen to.
What would have been better is if you had more than one instrument at the same time, creating a background that people can fall into.
The individual parts were nice but very repetitive, not in a good trance way, but in a not-so-good boring way.
You should definitely try using more than one instrument at a time in a trance song.
It wasn't as bad as other submissions and you at least put effort into it so...
Keep improving and keep producing!
YEAH!!
Wow... You took the two best genres: Video game and ska, and combined them to make an awesome song! Congrats on an awesome work!
Great First Try!
Really good first try! It is actually not too bad! Keep working and making more, you seem to have potential!
Nice, Great Beat!
Great song, the beat was awesome! I think that there wasn't enough on the lower end though. Keep it up!
thanx for reviewing :)
