Hehe, I cannot wait untill Quantum of Solace comes out ^_^
Songs a bit basic, but you weren't going for anything fancy anyways. Mabye when the movie comes out, someone will do a hardcore remix, mabye something like Moby's..?
Anyways, I like the snare too, it gives song a little "Serious" moos to it XD
Congrats on top 5
Author's Response:
Quantum of Solace will be AWESOME.
And yeah, it is a bit basic, took me about three hours in all, but it turned out all right. Maybe needs a yoink on the volume though.
Thanks for the review!

Once again my friend, I find myself blown away by your work.
The instrument practicaly sound as if they were recorded live - they are sooo good!
The mood is insane! I can totally picture your story. It is a very moving piece.
I am in love with the shouting vocals ^^
How do you make the instruments sound so real?
When are you going to get around to replying to that PM?
Author's Response:
I love the shouting too :D! Maybe it's because i'm so angry inside and I resolve said anger by bellowing loudly at fragile elderly all day... :/
The instruments realism stems largely from filters and effects. Of course the nature of the samples are very high as well, you can only make something fake sound so real, and something real only so fake.
In this particular case it was important to bring out the higher range (7-9khz) so I upped that up a little through some equalizing. The bass felt a bit muddy during so I cut off a bit on the low end *albeit some people say the bass is too low now*.
Then there are other small tricks to making instruments sound real. Dynamics is key. Playing each note slighly louder/quieter then the one before it gives off slight nuances of realism that the listener doesn't catch on consciously, but makes a difference with.
Higher quality samples will also have multiple velocity layers, meaning they have multiple recordings of the same note, played at different strengths. This helps a lot as you know a violin will sound very different if it's played harshly verses if it were played silky smooth!
I thought I had answered your questions, but i'll take another look ;D!
Thanks for the review, i'm glad you liked it!

This has a really nice, mellow feel to it. I like it.
Its really static-y though, should probably try to fix that.
Beat-breakdown is gewd.
Author's Response:
Thanks! :]
Yeah, I did very, very little mastering. This is just demo.
I'll finish it soon!

Wow, thanks man!
I usually find myself writing those kind of thanks about F-777. But I've never had anyone say them about me, thanks!
I'm really impressed with what you have done! You have gone back and compleatly 'Awesome-fied' this song. All I really did was shape it...Y'know, build all the patterns into a song. But you have made that song come alive, and Im really proud of your effort and commitment!
Well done!
