It was very well put together, and I thought the pad sounded great, as well as the main synth were very good.
The bass needed a lot more power to it, and the drums weren't the best. I liked the song, but it didn't really catch my attention the way Journey and Sytrus! did. It was a bit repetitive after about halfway through, too.
I'm trying to rate most of my favorite songs by you, and build my electronica library at the same time. Downloaded, and reviewed! :D
BTW, I learned a lot from the flstudios.blogspot you posted. Thanks for sharing the information! :D

Not bad for being new to the program. I think the drums need a lot of work, though it might just be because I don't like the genre those drums usually fit into.
The piano had a few out-of-key notes, and the choir was too quiet. I did enjoy the main tune, though :)
I would normally give this probably a 6/10 or 3/5, but 10 and 5 to help you get further. :)

You use the software like a pro. The song seemed a tiny bit loud (maybe just a tiny bit turned down would have been perfect), but besides that it had excellent balancing, and it's another perfect creation.
If you keep pouring out these, I might not have the time to keep up in listening! :D
Nice work!

Everything was done very well, and it sounded great, yeah yeah yeah. I've pretty much come to expect it from you now. :P
I love the atmosphere the song has at ~2:14, and the synth you use during that part, and how it blends through as the song starts to speed up.
The one thing I think could have sounded a lot better would be the part from 0:35 to 1:09. It's a little too hardcore compared to the rest of the song. Sure it sounds great, but I think your song would do better if you had toned it down a tiny bit. Perhaps decrease the volume of the kick and off-beat bass, and increase the string/pad's volume, since it has a really cool atmosphere to it.
~Just another fan. :P

:35 - 1:09 got kinda weird. I'm not as happy with it as I could be. I also like to see if I can blend genres I dunno why but it always ends up happening. Glad you enjoyed it thanks for the review.

It's very repetitive, and the drums don't fit in well. It's also way too ambient.
You need some more depth to the song, like another synth, and stronger/louder drums. I did like the tune you had there, but it became uninteresting quick.
The bass was alright. Not good, or bad.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the review :). My synth and the programs I use are all freeware so I can't get too good of a sound...
About the drums, I didn't know what to do for them so i just tried bass with hihat, so I suppose it's alright. I tried to keep the tune interesting, by changing the harmonics, but I'm no good at build up, so I wasn't sure where to fit in another instrument.

I'm not really a fan of metal music, but Mega Man X was one of my favorite games as a kid.
The song is pretty well done. It has good balancing, and it's not just a midi rip of the song, as many "remixes" are. The one thing I would say to work on would be the transitions from songs. They're not bad, they're just OK.
Nice work :D
Author's Response:
Zomg 10!
And yes, to this very day, Megaman still has a very special place in my heart.
The transitions are sketchy, but that was just me trying to set it up like you were actually playing the game while listening to this. Or something like that, I think that's what I was trying to say.
Haha, anyways, thanks for you time, votes, and reviews >=]

The tune grabbed me right from the beginning. I really like the chord progression, and I thought the synth playing it was really cool sounding.
However, from then on it just seemed to repeat. I thought that it was going to be the background melody, since it was so loud and full in both ears, but no other melodies came in. It really could have used a bass and a countermelody or melody to go with it.
Good intro, but it gets boring afterwards.

"Catchy, good use of vocals."
(+) Great Samples used for Drums
(+) Great use of audio clips, they weren't annoying as they are in many songs.
(+) Catchy tune
(+) An extra point for keeping me listening for at least 2+ loops.
(+) All of the synthesizers really seemed to blend in well together.
My favorite part was the piano trill. :D
5/5, 10/10
Check out my stuff. :D

If it's not the song, it sure feels like the water level music from Super Mario 64. It was very relaxing to listen to.
The piano didn't blend in very well, to be honest, but I liked the tune it was playing. Nice work on this, :D
Check out some of my stuff.
