Was def a great movie-i'll give you that. And a great remix to go along with James Cameron's vision! Good stuff man. If I may offer some piece of small advice..maybe change up the bass pattern once in a while-or at least set it to a new progression. It does get a little old listening to III I V II, over and over again. If you don't know what I'm talking about study up on some chord or progression analyze-that'll also give you a lot broader spectrum of thought to move about with your music.
Author's Response:
Welllll, I was considering going into thirds, keeping the same progression, but just changing the feel, u know. But clocking in jsut slightly over 2 minutes shouldnt be that bad to deal with it. Also, middle thrid of the song drops out the bassline completely. So really its only about 1:20 of the bassline.
Thanks for the review! I appreciate criticism :D

Loving this man. Just got me some Edirol instruments for FL and I can't wait to finally be able to make stuff that actually sounds halfway decent and realistic. But then again-I'll still have to learn how to compose as well as yours truly. Great work!

"If the zero bombers are pissing you off"
Get rid of the first 50 seconds. Most people base their votes off the first 3 seconds of a song. Anyways-decent I guess. Hip hop's not really my thing though

Can definitely see what you're trying to go for. I do agree with DJ-Babokon, there could be a tempo change or something in here, or at least a switch to double time. This though I know is hard to do, especially with synths that have rhythm built into them, which is why I try to state away from them as much as I can unless they're just being used for a sweet background element.
Author's Response:
I think I'll try that double time thing... :) thanks for the advice! So, an updated version should be released..... Sometime.

Nice! Like the dynamics put into this as well-not many NG artists use dynamics in their pieces. I know i'm probably being hypocritical someplace here but if a song is this short, most Flash developers are looking for loops (usually) and would rather this, Golden Flight, to have a loop-type ending than a slow fade out so that they might use it in their games or movies. Just in case you want more of your work to be seen, this is sometimes a good tactic to go for..and maybe every now and then do some advertising that you just released some loops for upcoming game developers.

It's always nice to have a bit of a nostalgic moment every now and then, so thanks for sharing it with me! Love the orchestration at 0:45 too. Really should use this type of remix for Golden Sun: DS [whenever the hell that's going to come out!!]
But anyways, really nice. Thanks. Gonna go grab my gear for one more run through again..
Author's Response:
Thank you. I didn't even know they were making a Golden Sun DS. Have fun playing through again.

This is a good attempt. Individually, your 23 patterns are probably pretty strong. However, that number in general is not typically what you want to be focusing on. Rather, the flow of your total music..
This is less commonly stated in most trance, but a definite beginning, middle, and end pattern still applies-which you do have. However, the middle sections did not have clear cut or innovative transitions. [I know this is hard with FL which is why I don't always use it] but adding in maybe a 3/4 measure every and then, or having NOT always 4 measure segments would be interesting. The best composers are the one's who have broken the rules [in good ways, obviously].
Also, towards 1 minute in there were too many clashing lines, which is probably why some of the voters gave a ZERO right away-they probably assumed the song would continue just adding in each of the 23 patterns-which is not the way u want to go really(i know you didn't do this I'm just saying).
Anyways-probably rambling. but good luck on the next one!
And also please check out my recently added "River Flows REMIX", however it is a first edit written by me literally 2 or more years ago and I'll be starting the 2nd edit fairly soon.
Author's Response:
Thanks for the advice.
The "clashy-ness" you're talking talking about is actually on purpose. I was aiming for an "insanity"-esque piece, claiming it as rapture instead, and so creating an illusion sort of. Or not.
Well idk, I kinda made it as my mood changed, a sort of "go-with-the-flow".
And I'll think about the 3/4 measure, I'm still learning.

Well I know how this feels so I managed to raise it a near .9 points for you. But yeah even as just a menu loop, could still be a little longer..unless you're seriously trying to keep the file size down, then amazing job! The quintessence of all short loops. [and thats short]

Great remix! Almost every artist here has to have one-anyways..
I notice the bass line to be almost a replica of the one I used in mine, strange isn't it? Hah, I am most certainly not downing you but..it is interesting huh? I'm sure that arrangement has been passed around quite a few times..or at least downloaded a few hundred..
Anyways, great job, to say the least. Keep it up.

Great stuff! Keep it up. I know this is usually quite unorthodox for dance tracks, but I think more dynamics would really intensify this chart and bring out some more intruige. Otherwise, great job!
