It isn't too muddy, sounds nice. Listened on headphones. The arrangement is a bit boring I think. Sort of calming, though.

The Beat is kinda retiringly,which is a good thing. Sounds good so far. The beginning is very lovely and atmospheric. But it needs some Highlights (in the middle of the track maybe? don`t know)

Thanks guys.......this comments will be taken in consideration for finishing.........but, as i partially lost the inspiration with that one........I´ll leave you my new track im working on.

I Had a very hard time converting the SID for basslines and leads so i did it manually......wanna hear your thaughts also! thanks!

Hi, I'd like to give you my thoughts on Human Race.

Intro:

- the last note of each progression is wrong (a SID2MIDI conversion bug?)
- Twinkling sounds are overpowered by the wrong note
- Nice choice for the sound
- The bassy saw notes beginning at 0:53 are totally off

Main:
- The part from 1:24 is totally cool (rhythm, filtered 7th bass, twinkles)
- From 2:03 the wrong bass note progression becomes apparent

Overall Pro: Cool rhythm and soundscape
Overall Con: Wrong notes / Bass lines

Fix those and you have a winner :)


Edit: This one from Graeme Norgate for example gets the notes right:

While this one from Betweenzone suffers from the same mistakes in the intro:

Hi Lman!
This is very productive from your side......youre pretty right ive heard those remixes and i got your point.

So........regarding the bassline......I tryied setting that original one......but somehow is not sounding ok......i mean, it fits as expected, but it sound is not matching the leads somehow.......I will try another tweaks to see if I can find a new one between the "plain" one and the original one......but so far, from my side is has better sound the plain one with that lead......

regarding that bassy saw......yep! thought the same as your, removing it......but it sounds very "empty" and i need somehow to fill that space......so far that saw is what i came with.....i´ll see what can i do to cover your expectations.

Another spot.......last note of each progression......ive struggled so much with this......that i ended doing it manually on my piano....maybe some notes are wrong......but it sounded just perfect to me....i might be doing a fine tuning on my ear ahhahaha

anyways.....you´� been very critic and constructive to me Lman.......hope it makes me keep on working finding the fine-tuning for this.

Thanks!
