OK i didn't do much yet and some sections need to be expanded on but i would like to get some constructive criticism for what ive got as of now. This is my first ever Remix and im new to using FruityLoops 8 so anything you possibly have to say could most likely benefit me.
Thanks in advance :)

You sir, have done what I have yet to do. The track sounds great to me, with a good level between the instruments. Also, you have added a good amount of variation to the original song. Definitely going on my mp3 player when I download it!

Whenever I listen to others music, I like to try to imagine how I feel in this persons shoes, I try to think what the artist is thinking when they wrote it.

This has everything going for it, it is a very nice piece, BUT... (there's ALWAYS a BUT), I feel that with what it has, it could do with a little more, the dark texture of the song is nice, the resonating synths and appregio are beautiful but perhaps lighting up the piece with something that stands out would feel nice too.

It does vary from the source, but there is very little of the source that is identifiable (I'm guessing that the source is "Crazy Motorcycle", but that's how difficult it is to identify). There is so much more you can do with this piece, but I am not the one to tell you what to do, it's yours, so keep creativity in mind and strive.

EDIT: Upgrade to FL9, and if you need some plugin/effect VST's, then send me a PM.

Check out my latest piece for some inspiration, I based my latest entirely on FL Studio, http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IVDHqcS-UgA

Hmm i seem to be stuck with what to do with it. I like how it turned out but u said theres no lead. Any one else have any suggestions on what to do.

I'll be honest with you. It sounds very empty, especially without the lead. The whole time, I was waiting for a kickass guitar to come in and play 1:07-1:27 in the source (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4SaDOoEspNI), and it didn't. Personally, I think that would make the piece a lot better. The setup is great, and as background (and occasionally foreground), the track works, but it really is missing that key component. Good luck with revisions!

I kinda figured out what i want to do for the lead with the guitar but the only problem is trying to find out where to put it in. I'm thinking about a like 1:47 ish when the trills stop and jump into the lead guitar and eventually have it incorporate that 2nd beat into it like you were talking about. Ill try working on it tonight and have somethin posted tonight. Any more suggestions will be great. Also 2 more things i wana work. 1st im thinking the re-entry at the end of the song is kinda sudden i think its like at 2:46 ish where all the beats come back in at once, and the snare roll doesnt seem out of place but missing something when the first section cuts out. Anyone wana Confirm/Deny that remember i love the suggestions thanks guys so far giving me great ideas.
