What sound libraries do you use for the strings? I like them a lot. They sound organic - which I suspect they are.

ER

OOOOH. I love it. If you get those drums right, oh my goodness. This song will be amazing. That simple chord progression is so beautiful and you execute them via cool synths that I really dig. Very tastefully done. At the moment, the only thing is the drums sound too far back. :)

ER

Though I think the vocal at the end could use some more reverb, sounds a little too flat for my ears. :)

Wow. I have nothing to say. You are always so inspiring. I wish I had cool string VSTs like this. You should totally make this one longer. I love it so much. Those chord progressions are epic.

ER

You totally remind me of Owl City. EXTREMELY similar lol. What do you use for the autotune effect?

ER

Wow, not bad! You're much better than many producers I've met back home. You definitely have a knack for this. The mixing is tastefully done. Though I wouldn't say this falls into the "Dance" genre (maybe Trance?), it definitely sounds pretty good; please don't take that lightly :)

ER

Hey there, SJ! :)

That piano is really interesting haha. The bassline behind it add a strong punchiness that I really like :P The vocal at the beginning is a little too loud and clips at the loudest part - might want to bring that down just a bit or add a compressor to even it out. The vocal sounds really cool :D Really big and spacey. You did great making it fit to the music imo :)

Cheers!

ER

haha this was EPIC. It was a little harshly compressed imo but the song is pretty awesome. You did some good justice to the original :)

ER

The vocal is a little quiet for my tastes. I think if you were to raise the volume of the female vocal just a bit it would sound great. The male vocal is good.

ER

I really like this. Honestly. Though I think maybe the filtered vocals don't quite fit the rest of the song. I think the song would stand great on it's own without them, but I think the clapping/cheering crowd is awesome and you should keep it. Can you send me stems for this and I can give it a full mix? :D message me at epicrecordmusic@gmail.com and we can discuss the details, if you're interested :P

ER

Aw, that is an awesome instrumental girl. I really mean that too. You have very good taste, I must say :P

ER

You have some cool instrumentation on this one. It's very catchy. The vocals (in my humble opinion), could be just a HAIR louder. Like literally a hair. They're on the point of being too soft. Hmmmm, it's so close haha. I can't decide. :P That is just something that I thought when listening to this chill tune. Great work.

ER

I think with a proper mix-down, this will sound awesome. There are some percussion instruments that are too loud/flat sounding but I'd imagine that can be fixed with the proper treatment. I would suggest trying to make the vocals larger via reverb and/or delay. It feels a little too stiffly dropped in the middle and doesn't quite match the large feeling of the overall song.

But the instrumentation is really cool. I dig it. Good work. I look forward to hearing a finished product of this one.

I think something like a splash to help climax the sections at 1:37 and 3:30 would help as well, it's a little disappointing as it feels like it's going to get louder and there's nothing there to satisfy the listener's attention haha.

Nice beat, but I feel like the drums are a little lacking in presence. Maybe turning them up will help?

ER

This one is really cool :) Do you use Garageband? I could swear I hear some of those synths :P Good job on this man, that bass is nice and groovy.

I'm listening to this and it's very good but one thing that seemed to be missing was the presence of a a bass. I think you could definitely up the power of this already-great song (I love the orchestral/choir stuff) by adding some low-end punch :P

ER

I noticed one thing that really stood out: The vocals are too loud when put over the mix. Try bring them down just a bit so that the overall volume can be raised and enjoyed. I have to turn it down so that I can listen to the vocals at a comfortable volume, but then the mix behind it is too quiet.

ER

The dischord at the beginning has a very interesting sense of confusion with it. The electric guitar sounds a little weak in my opinion. I think it may be a little quiet as well in the second part of the song. Might want to raise the volume as it gets a little lost in the mix.

ER

I love that acoustic :) Where did you get the unused sample from?

That groove is awesome dude. I love the old-school feel this one has to it. Beautiful work!

ER

Good music, but I feel that the vocal overlays could've been better with a little reverb or something. :) The track is awesome though. I like the dubstep work.

I love your voice. The only issue I see with this song is there is a gnarly distortion because the song has been pushed up too high. I suggest getting a limiter to solve this problem. There are several free ones you can get that do wonderfully.

ER

I would like to ask though, if you don't mind: What mic do you use for vocals? And how did you process it in the DAW?

ER

Personally, I like the way the vocal sounds. I think it may be a matter of taste at this point. Maybe the vocal could have more stereo presence since the song is so driving but this definitely well-put together. A little bassy but very good :) Cheers and welcome to the site :P

ER

Sooo. Dreamy. Beautiful. Those spacious accents to the far L and R are lovely to my ears :) Good job! Make MOAR!!
