Seriously don't, well..actually I shouldn't bother saying it, you'll go into withdrawal and wind up at it again within 2 days ;)
still a little peaking, just from being too loud but no biggie. Drumlines need to either be a little louder or the bass quiter, or get a more vicious attack on the drumline (it's a sick drumline btw)
Loved the cutoff automation you used

This whole song is epic, no doubt, but you really need to remaster this...
compressors, soft clippers, whatever it takes, remaster this to remove that peaking and you will achieve perfection :)

Lead and bassline are great, just your drumline really lacks any kind of punch, it seems somewhat recessive in there and kills of some of the energy levels of this song

"Hahahah! I'm not the only one who remixed this! XD"
Except your remix has mine beat with that acid in it ;)
Great hardcore techno remix, just needs a little more in the midrange and low shelf to give the song more of a prescence and power at the start

Kicker has alot of power behind that, props to that!
The padwork/strings seemed to lack that hard hitting feeling though, try mixing in another instrument in there that has a hard attack and decays relatively quickly, should add some energy.
Chords were great and accurate to the original, and rarely the same :D
overall, good stuff

After listening through this, this was an awesome breakbeat!
So much acid :D
There were a couple of instruments like that one beeping one that you bring in once or twice that kinda seemed useless in the song, but they don't harm it much
The drumlines are nice and powerful, major kudos on that
The melody keeps on the move through the whole song, another major kudos! :)
good stuff, 9/10
ps: what program are you using? I'm guessing Reason

Holy shit I never knew someone could make something so sick using Mixman Studio's stuff
(I want those man, I can't get the track files except the .wavs from the cd anymore since Mixman Studio 2 only works on win95)
Tons of energy in this, love the overall sound and has a really professional sound
Watch your guitar a little though, there was some peaking each time you had that going with the Jupiter Bass track
Author's Response:
I use Mixman Studio Pro v4.0 and Mixman DM^2, and they do me just fine! :]
The guitar tracks were not done by me, they were done by a good friend of mine. He actually took the original HighMill (down below) and laid that guitar track over it without my knowledge. Then he told me what he'd done and it sounded really good, so I trimmed it a little and we both laid it out through our respective websites (this being one of mine).
Glad you enjoyed it!

...so this review won't have as much justice as your first review being for one of my songs, but hey common courtesy eh?
This sounds like either FL Studio or Garage Band possibly, either way I love the beat you have going. Simple beat that you can't get out of your head, loops too so don't be surprised if I use this on a flash game ;)
I wouldn't touch this song for improvements as it's perfect as it is, but if you want to try something try boosting the bass and a little of the midrange on your kickers, gives them a much meaner punch and adds more energy to the track.
Some reverb on your synths could make them sound more epic and make them sound like they're all around you if you're wearing headphones.
I can't get this out of my head, kudos man!

Damn dude the last time I pulled off 3 awards for the week was.....my god over 2 years ago!
Major kudos on that!
Now for the song....
reviewing while listening
I like this intro, gets right into this nice dark beat, really nice complexity there
Like that flute in the back, really atmospheric sound with the darker bass and hats
Here comes the signature bassline of dj_padman1, dark, sorta moogish sound, out of control but controlled :)
Drumlines are sounding a bit drained out by the bass, I can't feel the hits of the kickers much, they could use a heavier attack, same for the snares
For some reason I keep thinking of Lost Sleep while listening to this, ALOT of stuff going on at once but it all "clicks" and gets really good
I don't even want to think about how many patterns you used....omg there are so many things that go on throughout the song XD
Like what I'm hearing, you get your 100th DL from me, a 5, and one more song slipped onto my playlist!

More jungle than breakbeat, but I like it :D
No idea where you got those drums, not sure if I've heard them anywhere. Nice synthwork with sytrus, I see you had alot of fun with slides XD
One thing I want to point out is that this was peeking EVERYWHERE /|O¬O;|\
Try putting a Soft Clipper into your master FX, I do that in all my songs and it takes care of 99% of my peaking worries
Keep at it!

Author's Response:
thanx for the soft clipper tip, I dont know how to automate it but I can still use it in the master insert. I love the drums too, they arent nearly as good as urs tho ;).
