State of Matter - Azure Symphony (2005 Rework) FINALLY
It took me a lot longer to sit down and do this than I thought it would, but when I finally did it all went pretty smoothly. This is a remake of probably my second most popular song next to Radiance. The original was the first track I posted on TA, and originally it was an As The Rush Comes remix. Anyways, I've finally redone it. This is my most emotional piece to date and I really hope you like it. Sapphire is next.
The kick is very nice here, at least on headphones.
I remember this , yes i liked it allot as well.
your perc does sound weak in the beginning.
That bass note that gets pitched down, sounds a bit to loud i think.
what a nice braak, piano is good.
seems the main part those supersaws eat allot of space. And the perc does sound weak, i think you muted some things hehe.
Anyway hope that helped.

listening..
nice bass drop.. fits perfectly.. nice piano.. nice melody..good sounding pads.. more percussions after the break.. cant hear any clap.. just some small hats can be heared... needs much more power.. everything is fine except the percs..
Thanks for the feedback thus far. I don't think I'm gonna beef up the percs, its just a taste thing. If you listen to the original on my old site (http://www.musicv2.com/artist/stateofmatter/) you'll notice that its intentional. I opted for very minimal percs and bass so that your attention would be focused on the melody. Meant to be a slow, somber, reflective piece. I really appreciate the comments though, and Im glad that everyone for the most part likes it.

This sounds classy man. Great pads, great synths. But once again I think the piano is out of tune. Honestly every song i hear with a piano it sounds out of tune. Very nice violin/strings section. As a matter of taste, instead of the kick on 1&3 and the hats i would have done a little half tempo epic drum loop type thing if that makes sense. something kinda triphop-esque.
Sample updated. Couple of subtle effects added, raised clap volume and made the percs slightly more driving. Now they're more where I want them to be. Think Hydra - Affinity in terms of the atmosphere I'm going for, no need for them to be mental.
Thanks for all the great feedback so far.

the biggest thing i would change is your little kick roll into the main theme. imo this tune is really original and that really generic kick roll kills it. i can hear in my head how i would do it, but i would just recommend experimenting. if you care how i would do it ill let ya know
but i definitely smell signage. well that and all the cigarette smoke i inhaled tonight......
