Holy, wow, this is so cool! It's just slick and oozes style... Listening to your remix was the first time I've heard this song, and I felt the urge to just groove right along with the beat. And my goodness, there are certain sections that just give a truly euphoric feeling, which I'll get to later. :D One thing I really love about your arrangements is that they get right into the action. Every measure counts, and although your intros help to build up anticipation for the main melody, they have plenty of excitement in themselves. Each phrase has so much polish, and nothing in your music ever feels like it was there just to take up time or pad the arrangement. I can really just sense the immense pride you take through the care that goes into all aspects of the arrangement and instrumentation! Woah, that bass is super cool, and I love how it's digital sounding, with a bit of a growl and a heavy electronic feel. It's a perfect fit here, and it sounds incredible on all sound systems - laptop speakers, car stereo, phone speakers, and of course headphones. It's really well balanced, and the rhythms in the bass complement the percussive elements well, sometimes working in tandem with the beat, and sometimes in contrast to it. And it even sounds like the bass sort of dips in pitch on held notes, or maybe some kind of phasing LFO, but either way, it sounds really neat! I have to say, this sounds so tight, with all these offset syncopated rhythms, and I'm just amazed at how you manage to create such a full, yet clean sound, with so many quick-moving parts. It's atmospheric, yet crisp, and your ability to accomplish both of those is truly impressive! Like, the bass, supporting rhythms, and lead parts are all playing different rhythms, yet they're so well-coordinated, so it never sounds too busy or messy (I could learn from your example! 😅) No doubt, this is the result of careful sound balancing, EQ'ing, making sure note lengths are precise, and adjusting the reverb and delay to be just right. Okay, so that part at 1:23 truly just sounds heavenly! I was sincerely blown away by how much the song opens up at that point, and its like the feeling of just soaring into the air with an ultimate sense of freedom! Seriously, I can't even put into words how much that part made an impact on me, and I had to replay that section countless number of times just to get my fill of it. Of course, this isn't meant to detract from the rest of the song, because there are creative and fun details all throughout. Like that snappy ending, for instance - I love how it ends on a major chord on the upbeat of the measure - again, the timing with that is tight! Your music is always such a genuine pleasure to listen to, Neon X, and you just continue to improve with each new remix! It's amazing that you've built up this supportive community, and that you've found such joy in this hobby. I hope it's something you continue to love for a long time to come! Until next time, my friend! ^_
