Bad things first: the trebles sound too loud (the hihat in the center), the handclap (is it one?) on left/center is more a noise than handclap.

Good things: the phasing pads and the stereo panorama are great! The FX (esp. wind+chimes at the end) make it even more soft and relaxed. The mixage is not over-compressed.
As far as I remember the best wizball-highscore remix I have heard.

Gonna listen to it another three times, I will dream a little better then :-)

This is a good remix - or remake. Contrary to Putzi (sorry man :) I think the treble is just fine and the "hand-claps" fit well into the overall Old-Hammond-Rythmbox feel of it. The sweeping pads gives it a very Jarresque feel also, which with the drums made me think of "The Last Rumba" (which isn't anything like this track, so I can't help but wonder why).

Very nice . . Good going!

I always compare to the level "perfect mixage " and if it hurts on my SONY studio quality headphones, it *is* wrong. :^)

Thanx for the hint!
I am searching for a replacement for a while now for the SONYs (not because they are bad ofcourse, just because it gets so damned hot having them on).

I have always preferred my Sennheiser HD-265 headphones. Unfortunately the cable broke, so for the past many months (because I'm too cheap to buy a new cable) I have been using my spares, which are a set of Sennheiser HD-200's. Now the cable's broke on those too, so now I HAVE to go buy new cables... :evil:

With regards to the treble in the mix, I have to let fair be fair. I am listening trough some cheap ear-plugs at work, so the frequency-response is probably not the top :roll: ...Ah, well...

Nice tune, Trace! :)

And as a frequently user of my K240's I can only recommend 'em. They rule!

Man, this Tune is sooo spacey-ambient, great! :D

I don't hear anything annoying. And for the handclaps, they sound "analog". The whole song in general sounds very analog, which in my opinion is a good thing :)

A really laid back remix. The only thing I didn't fancy very much was the crash at the end of the song. Found it a bit too loud. Some EQ tweaking, lowered volume and a touch of reverb would do the trick :)

Larsec: um, yeah, I knew that... just testing!

Anyway, thanx for the help ;)

Yeah, really like this remix. Very relaxing, nice ambient sounds. I still think the BIT 3 version is the best however.... ;)
