Story
What started as
let's apply some effects to my very first remix
has ended up like this. Important changes:
- Applied pitch wheel and vibrato to main lead (instead of just depending on portamento)
- Added vocal, as well as impact sfx. I was lucky enough to find three different and very well matching vocal samples
- Kick, hihat and snare enrichment
- The arrangement is kept as the same (which is missing some of the parts from the original sid).
- EQ'ing and applying HP and LP filters to achieve seperation
Despite sounding very far from the original, it is essentially the same arrangement.
DAW: Cakewalk by BandLab
Synths: T-Force Alpha Plus, Helm, SurgeXT, Vital, Kairatune, Odin 2
I hope you enjoy my work.

1 minute in, it all comes together. Wasn’t sure about the opening lead at first, but it’s got a scene vibe that I like. Great production and to be honest, by the end I wished it was a bit longer.
Very Nice! .. Though I have to agree with Tim, I also wish it was longer :)
Banging tune!
Brilliant!
Really great upbeat mix. Initially I thought a bit too much drums+SID but was proven wrong, you melded it prefectly.
Sounds pretty good to me
Checked the first one... WOW. The sound has changed completely.. Ok there are some hints in here... Perhaps in time I figure it out myself.. Or not! Well done.. Pro stuff!
Easily my favourite Ace 2 remix - really kicks off after a deceptively low key opening. Cheers!

There is still a lot of headroom left in the mix though and I feel perhaps the low end is slightly left out and that could be causing it. Maybe just a bit more attention to mastering in general would help here.
There is such tremendous growth in your mixes - in no time at all you will be on top, not only here!
