Alright, I'm gonna do this one in rev order. Headfones 1st and reg 2nd.

On my fones it sounds pretty evenly slated. Nice FX ya placed on the kicks during the part ya had 'em isolated. Hmm, maybe you could add some kinda Phase effect (or something) to the Piano loops yer using on this to have 'em better fit the songs mood. Ooh, and possibly fade 'em out a bit more when you introduce the second set of synth Leads. Nice reintroduction of the other stuff BTW. And was that bit at the exact end (where it fades out and then a part of it picks up again briefly) intentional? Just curious. Now onto play 2...

Okies, for some odd reason the Bass kinda sounds muted (or muffled). Enough so that it stands out next to the Pianos. Course, I'm thinkin that you effected this entire song didn't you? Hmm, maybe the Reverb on the Piano's needs to be scaled back just a hair (so it'd match the rest of the song better).
Unless ofcourse, you were going for that effect and in that case disregard what I just said. Oh, and you know, as I sit here I think it'd be kinda interesting to hear what this would sound like without the Pianos. Maybe not as complete, but I'm bankin that it'd still be pretty cool, ya know? Man, I dunno if I'd be brave enough to jack my speakers all the way up on this one. Eh, nice one bro. Later on!

Very smooth and unusual track. It's very relaxing. I was wondering about the mastering, since it seems quiet, maybe it was intentional though. Nice job.

Hot Damn! This is the best song from you I have heard yet!!

Very cool, trance-y, but also very intelligent with the sounds coming and going.

The melodies never got old to me.. Every pass seemed to offer something new to the whole cadence. Very Interesting and VERY cool!

Hey, Just soo you know, this was normalized to approximately -9db... that means you have like 12 db just taking up headroom or it is just silence... so.. you have like about 6 db till you even have to worry about clipping..

So, despite that, I am still LOVING THIS. Faving.

But, you might consider getting just a limiter or a condensor... there are free ones I am sure.

Heh, just because I like loud noises, my crazy head would normalize this to -1 db.. but that is just me.

LOVE IT.

Pretty good, but maybe you overdid the stereo separation. Check out my new trance track called "Data Entry."

Hey mate...cool composition!...at first I thought it was a bit bass heavy but then realised you'd done that part to the intro on purpose...when the higher frequencies come into play it starts to rock!.....great variation and nice percussive interludes...great work D !..cheers planet :)

Now I really realize what mastering can do =D. Is it hard to believe I made this with my messy small studio?

I used a stereo imager and soloed the low bands then brought the x value thingy up to pretty much cancel out the low band solo.

Description : We used to ride all night thru downtown Chicago blasting Return to foever in Marks 72 Vega with 12" Ventura BIC speakers in the back that were chrystal clear. i was still too young to drive. Those were some of the greatest times I ever had I'll never forget that band the bandmates or those times. Mark out did himself on this Re-mix/Master. He also updated the Drums, makes the track feel brand new, even tho it's 4 years old.

PEACE...

Instead, here is the instrumental to the work. I'll put the uncensored version somewhere else.
