Default OCR00571 - Zanac 'X-Mix'

Zanac 'X-Mix'

Great attempt from Jose Acosta, who brings us a fun, Zanac remix. Not anything particularly new or exciting, but a nice listen. I especially like the bass work, and the less techno-y interlude (which I would have liked to see expanded on).

Wow, those are some authentic dance/trance synths. Too bad the production behind 'em is so poor. Everything's just really flimsy here unfortunately. There's tons of room for expansion and power here; nothing fills the song out or drives it along. Definitely on the low end of what's available here, can't say it any other way.

The halftime with the choir could have been really sweet, but the lack of any builds or climaxes hurts it a ton, as does the seemingly off bass drum in that section. The fact that an ending was added is nice, but the cymbals seem kind of strange there. Overall, it just seems to be gray, washed out quasi- housetrance.

Seriously, the breakdown near the end is the right direction to go in, it just needs a lot more work.

I'm actually a person who rarely can tell the difference in the quality of an mp3, but this one I an hear. The low-quality of the mix really hurts it more than anything else. That and a severe lack of bass. And some other stuff.

Really good arrangement ideas, I definitely love those beats! Sounds are bad, the mix is thin and punchless, which is unfortunate. With proper production this arrangement might well kick some ass.

hey guys , thanks for all the feedback, good and bad is greatly appreciated.. this mix was done back in the days when i had a Korg Triton keyboard , and connected it via the analog Line-in to the PC Sound Card,, so quality wise it wasnt gonna be all the crispy, but NOW in 2008 i have finally let go of the korg Triton, and bought a Edirol PCR-500 Midi Controller Keyboard, got into CUBASE sx3 for sequencing and mixing, and have TONS of VSTi's at my disposal ( software synths), so this time i think...i can dish out some cleaner crispier tracks.... to begin i have already submitted my 2008 version of this song for ZANAC..just awaiting JUDGES to accept.. hope u guys like the new one :), by the way im also going resubmit my updated version of my NINJA GAIDEN " emulated" as well....i personally think both tracks have gotten a GREAT improvement...

EDIT: as a matter of fact..u guys can catch a preview of the NEW Zanac remix here :

http://www.yousendit.com/transfer.ph...5992691497b954

its limited to 7 days only or 100 downloads either or..so hope u guys like it ..later

This mix goes places, interesting places, and takes it's time getting there. O.k., so the mix is 2 minutes long, but still, it doesn't rush itself.

I like how the first have is very techno, then changes direction at 0:52, and then changes again at 1:13.

Definitely worth a listen.

everything in this mix works very well together! great choice of synths, and the touch at the very end was unexpected. would have loved to see you use that sound at the end a little more, extend it and explore a little more with that instrument. definitely left me wanting more!
