    Yeah... great advise dude... you're becoming a master quite soon. As for 00:19, I have to change the strings (i dunno whhy i used that crappy sample), and add a hell load more of "tension" there... hey , what about putting an F18 taking off on that part. That way, I would fake a crescendo, and it would sound very cool.

    Now about the drumming.. there are already about 4 layers of drums... but yeah, maybe I can put even more. I've thought on a crazy tribal drum solo over the techno beat that could sound cool.

    And, I've already thought about the panning, but I've already used some of that stuff in previous mixes, and the results were catastrophic.... the music sounded very cool of course, but the judges found that confusing. So, I can't pull very much of the counterpoint and melodic complexity here. But ,i can still try some experimental shits.... like adding some singed parts, playing even more guitar at this, or adding tribal-techno drum solos (umm... remember Safri duo? ) . And yeah... got the point about the main melody hard-work. that seems to be an important issue here.

    And other thing... ...peak controller? Sh*t I'll start using that right now!. I'll see what I can do with that.

    Next friday, I'll start working on this once again. Let's see if I can finish all the tune (so, I'll post here again.... ideas and stuff, etc . . ) ... So, if you feel the mastering can be improved, is all yours. Thanks dude

    pretty much ambiental stuff with heavy drums... the kind of drums i love. The idea is developed very nicely, however, I think some sections of the song are way too long (the intro), and the mix lacks of variation. I don't mean "Hey dude, fuck it up and change it upside down each 10 seconds".. no, no way, I don't want to spoil the awesome feeling here :-D . But you should add noises and stuff at random places,.. dunno,, for example an opera-female-singer (what was the name for that , soprano?),... some metal noises...an indian flute (LOL)... whatever. Check this out, it will be good reference for you: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PMq4akUZr8c

    Hey!, thanks a lot dudes!.

    But, really there is some stuff that worries me.For example the violins sound fake as hell (okay, i'll just change the samples a bit :P) , and I'll have to do a bigger intro (is not that I prefer long intros... but judges do). Usually I'm a very acoustic/percussive/real-instrument dude, but man, I've been recently digging this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GGe_4QUeMNc . I guess I'll put in this Jazz jackrabbit remix ALL the experimental sh*t that comes into my mind. Crazy drum solos, remixed voice, guitar, violins,..... madness!!.

    So... yeah, expect another update for next friday. I think that avaris is quite right about the "Melody" idea, so I'll try to make a kickass riff out from jazz jackrabbit

    Please, be CRITICAL if you have to... i wanna have a freaking mix accepted on Ocremix at last!, so all the criticism is accepted

    To Avaris : dude, it's been a LOONG time!. I've been hell busy studying, and will probably be till june. But... how the hell is that you have 1000 posts? Holy sh*t!! You've grown up a lot since i last saw you :-D

    Whoa, you've greatly surprised me witht this. Normally, I don't expect a piano mix to be outstanding, mostly due to the classic attitude "expecting-that-the-people-will-be-impressed-only-cos-this-is-a-piano" that i see everywhere. The harmony here is really interesting, even more than the original, the bass is really sweet and the flute sounds cool, even if it's not a real flute. I'm really digging this, but i think this needs some drums. Dude, this is the kind of music that should get into OCremix.

    whoa, 15 replies! For sure you know how to drag people's attention!. Now about the mix: ok, marimbas nicely played, some mistakes in some places... but i think this looks like the original way too much. You should try to invent something here, there's a lot of room for experimentation here, so, hey, why don't you give a try to adding more stuff? :-)

    This song is pure atmosphere greatness. I really enjoyed the atmosphere here!. although the instruments here aren't that good. You should look for new samples (there's edirol super quartet, garritan personal orchestra, EWQL symphonic blah blah... and so... and if those are too big, try to find some soundfonts). Apart from that, try working on a more complete orchestration, and this is nice to go.

    Once again, congratulations about the atmosphere you've built here, it's awesome! :-D

    Man... the beginning feels like madness!!!... sounds like randomizer stuff. Then comes the piano. That part is nice, i like it, and i think you should put it before. Really, don't save the best for the end,, you must catch listener's attention from the beginning!!!. So, if I were you I would start the song straight from the piano part, and from there start building up. Ah, and try putting a lead melody: a violin? a piano? a guitar?,... just something that does a melody.

    Nice stuff :-) .

    Cool! :D. Liked the drums and the overall feel here, and yeah... I have to agree, fake guitars aren't as sexy as real guitars... but there's some nice buildup here. I think you should go trying with some more instruments and stuff. This feels like a candy that is way too sweet.... so, you get tired of so much sugar little time after, so , why don't you try with a bit of salt?? :D (ok,,, i know i'm not the best with metaphors, but... you know what i mean!! )

    Feels very nice, even if everything are synthezisers. Liked very much the beginning, there are no real flaws here, but it would of course sound better if it was played on real instruments! :) .

    And well,,, the second part.... just a thing of tastes, I don't like those 80's synths, i think this part really spoils the great atmosphere you developed on the first part. I think you should continue building the first part, develop it until a climax, and then end. There's no room to dance here, but for feelings and emotions ;)

    Anyway, good stuff dude! :D

    Update!

    --> VERSION 2a

    So, here's the new stuff.

    http://media.putfile.com/Prometheus-A-Story-About-ManV2

    It's still unfinished. I tried to put the Jazz Jackrabbit main theme at the end, but I'm not really sure if that fits the mood of the song. And there's some kind of marimba thing somewhere LOL.

    (and sorry about the 5 second-silence at the beginning :-P )

    What do you think? Is this mix HOT or NOT ?

    -------- Previous versions ----------

    --> Version 1

    http://media.putfile.com/Prometheus-A-Story-about-Man

    Had some inspiration on Nine Inch Nails distorted electronic stuff.

    So, here are the questions for you all:

    Is it worthy to finish the mix?

    In case it is, do you think judges would accept this?

    ----

    This is what is said in the beginning of the mix

    "This is a story about man,

    about the ending that became the beginning,

    about the lost sons,

    and forgotten heroes

    this is a story about ourselves"
