"those chords were mighty cool"
I enjoyed this, as much as I hate to say it. the combination of major and minor chords really felt emotional.
the mix was pretty tight as well. a tad dry, but that's just preference anyways.
check my latest

I hope its not dance but ill have a look.
Anyway as a response, the track is meant as a decline of the senses, a small giveaway 'Strangled' is a psychological 'dark' fairytale, things arent as they are written but often what is written is an expression (and for a reason i cannot spoil yet). It all comes down to the main character in the end. So this part of the fairytale represents the main characters 'mental deviation'.
when i started to think about what this track should be this morning it was even greater, but i forgot about the composition seeing as i imagined it during a bike run in the forest.. shame there isnt a device that can record the music in our minds. However i am content with the outcome. I can build upon this again. Also.. it might strike you somewhat as a suprise i bet when i say that when im done with this album im returning to retro vg. :)
Thanks for the review.

Its cool, I like the melodies and the flutes, but how all the elements are presented in the mix is very dry. Especially the violins, they are too sharp, and give m e the first impression that they are presets and not fluid.
also, the drums are very quiet, and could use some compression.
overall though, this mix is crying out for some reveerb, a lush reveerb, and tighter lows.
the low end in this mix (sub 200) is very loose, and not powerful enough. put a double bass in, or a bass synth, or pad to fill out that low end. the song is very empty without it.
8/10

Well i did try to most accurately reproduce the sound of the original, when this album is done ill upload it so people can compare.
Im not very familiar yet with such realistic drumkits, but it will never be my ambition to make anything sound 100% real, so dont hold it against me if i take these things lightly.
The violins are slightly fading in just like in the original, this does have its negative side yes.. but i dont think im going to fix it, takes to much time rendering.
thanks for the review.

"needs more autotune and sidechaining"
Just sayin'
I would pump up the loudness of the track another 15-20 db too, and put a master band limiter on
oh yeah and i would put in autotuned vocals
but thats just me
