Act On Instinct (Blackster remix)
Subject description: 4 hours of work for 2:38 of song!
I took the original Frank Klepaki's "Act on Instinct", and GeckoYamori's remake of AOI and mashed em together, and added some cool effects.
In all, this took me about 4 hours in total to complete, so comments and construtive criticism are appreciated..
yes I know the ending is a little awkward, but I already put a ton of effort into it as it is.
This is one of my hobbies, to fool around with song files. If you want to see some more, I have a myspace where you can check em out, and download them if you like.
sounds good, but it would be awesome if you could redo it without playing with the left and right speaker controls. Keep it sounding like its mono because it suits the cnc style. However i like the reversals and the doubling of certain beats. QUICK_EDIT

Thanks, dude..
Now that you mention it, I kind of agree, I might have went a little overboard with the stereo effects. Here it is in mono, if you want...
Well, thats alot better than what it was, though its still far from perfect. I believe the key to a great track is simplicity. I have written down what i believe needs changing and the time it happens. well here goes.
- I really like the reversal start.
- Throught out the whole track, keep that acidic beat thats present. That is the key to the whole thing.
- at the 29th second with the doubling effect, keep that and it probably wouldnt hurt to may be doit again acouple of times equaly through out the whole track but dont go over board.
- Between the 46th sec and 1:01 with the playing fron left to right, just get rid of it completely, it does the track no service.
- Between 1:53 and 2:01 with the wierd distorted piece that i cant explain get rid of that also because its the only time it comes up in the song and really dosn't fit in.
- and the ending is great keep that.
- and also throughout the song try to make the transitions from different beats more smoother and unnoticable.
- I dont know all the music making lingo but if all this was done it might find it way into BTS. QUICK_EDIT

thanks for taking the time to comment, I actually pretty much agree with everything on your list. When I next get the chance, I'll fix those things up _________________ The Fall of Hammerfest - Epic Tiberian chain story
