i think that the rain drop or wat the fuck effect doest fit here. intro is not so unique.. i think u would agree with this. though the effects in background is very godd and suitable.

bass

goddddddddddd. full of movement and energy. system f style  ;] nice job. catchy, sweet

[leads]

groovy. nice sounds, godd eq, and great melodies.

the rythm is well done though there is nothing special i guess. at least is souds really godd, godd compresion, EQ.

overall: very nice and powerful tune u have here  ;] trancenergy  ;]

Intro: There's nothing special about it, not very catchy and attractive. The samples you chose are good, some are good quality like the synths but I didn't like others such as the bass sample (they sound too analoguish). Anyway around 2:45 when things began to calm down, I didn't find it too impressive, the transitions you used. Good strings and well arranged. I don't like the piano melodies though. Around 3:50 when the synth picks up, it wasn't good either, I didn't find the synth arrangement very creative and I think the vocal samples should have been put through some kind of vocoder for enhancements. Some patterns are repeated so it kinda got boring around 5:20. Filters are well used. The conlcusion isn't bad, but then again that vocal sample drove the quality of it down. I dunno man, this is the first track by you that I didn't really dig. Work on this one man.

I heard the original of this song, and now this one, and I must say I liked the original more.

It simply had a better arrengement, better mastering, better.. better ..

like the intro, I remember a longer intro, which was more attractive then this. This one was actually a bit lame/boring, while the original really took u ready for an ownage song.

This mix also could use some better HF/LF mastering, some less chaos in the climaxes.

Samples are really good, though some could need a little less reverb and delay, as they create the chaos in the busy parts.

The climaxes have enough power, though the melody bores easily as the each time the same 2 high notes makes u want for a refreshment.

The piano however is ownage, really warm feeling, just a few notes, but enough to " tell you " what the song is about. :up:

somehow i feel that the quality isn't that good in this one as in some of your best ones. i like the sounds, very soft and mellow.. the speech was really good. the main melody is pretty good even, but the mainlead is a bit messy and it needs some hi-end eqing. overally not a bad song at all..

Cool kick, kool background effects.
The beat is awesome.
Bassline is cool also :)
Love the main melody, sounds like THE MELODIC TRANCE :)
All the effects are good, but I got sum complains with the cuttoff, sometimes when it comes down too quickly, it gives me a "sweep" effect on the sample, Don't like it :p
Anyway,the mood is truly present, nothing to say.
Strings are wondeful, and wonderfully used.
Piano sounds dreamy, adds a very good feeling to this track!
Love the next sample upcoming, with the cuttoff! Great!

Overall : This music is great, but too long...

Awesome job Acecream man! :)

Still one of best song ever. The melody is one of the best ever I think. The original tune was realy something special (a small revolution at the tracking scene). For this one I can say it's more an evolution :) of the older one. It sounds preaty much simmilar but it's hard to do such a great song better. The quality is very high, and I like those stereo soundings. It's true that this is a common reason sounding, but it doesn't realy matters if you ask me. Well done AceCream !  ;)

ArtistXenomorph (trance) 15 May. 2003
First of all: great dream melody. Nothing to complain about that. Typical trance structure. The bassline fits to the genre, but the kickdrum is not very good - you know, it just sounds "old". And you should bring the main melow more in front, it just loses its power, when all of the other instruments are coming in. I think it would be better if the melody is played with only a few notes, it's simply overloaded. FX fitting good. But you shouldn't use it too much in your songs.

Very good song, but i don't think that this is your best trak, my favourite of you for me is Lost. Anyway this is good, i like the melody, and the song have a nice atmosphere, nice effecs in a nice structure.
The sound quality id the same of your Reason's songs and is good.
Nice work friend.  ;)

Nice track here. I thought when i saw the title "dream mix" that i´d hear some calm trance but this is total kick-ass track :) ! Melody is great and drumwork too. Kick is only that i don´t like. Bit too hard, maybe softer would fit better. I´ve heard the original very long time ago and i think that it´s much better. Piano-part is beautiful, my style. Song is quite long but it doesn´t get boring which is very good. Well, nice track. Me like it :) .

Quite original melody I must say. Kick you used wasn't the best more powerful kick is recommended. Arrangement is just fine and sound quality is not bad.
I like the original track and this one is good also. Not your best but good. :)

Hehe a very nice one ace :yes: Your best song with the 1st Reason version I Can See The Light.
This one remembers me very much on the original version that you made in ModplugTracker yea it did :P You made a great atmosphere and a very relaxing feeling, like you wrote it's really a dream remix :P Well everything is great ( arrangement , structure , feeling , melody ) but i got some complains to especially for the sound which sounds a bit to much in the back, try to make it a bit more in front, i hope you know what do i mean and there is also another problem that's the quality which is not as good as in the 1st I Can See The Light Reason version, i compared them and it is a very big difference, the 1st version has a better mastering and also the complet sound is much more clear and in front, well that's my opinion, but anyway a great song :yes: (i give you 8,5 for the dream remix and 9 for the 1st because of the sound, but if i'm not compering the sound quality then the songs deserves almost the same rate) :yes:

Sounds really nice. Quality stuff. Excellent use of synths. I thought the drums might be lacking a little, but aren't really too bad. Nice breakdowns.. and builds. The strings are very good. I'd like to know what patch you're using for them (if it is one). Overall, great track, just needs to be mastered a little better. Awesome use of Reason.. _AGAIN_ :)

Artistmordecai (electro) 07 Mar. 2003
I liked this song. Very pro sound, good structure. The theme has a very good mood on it and synths sound great. The percussion needs some work though, it sort of drowns in the other instruments. The stereo panning is cool.

Heh , another typical Acecream track ...
I expected a new version of "I can see the light" , but I dunno which version I heard , but it was basicly almost the same , so I guess there are not much changes ...
I ope to hear a new master or somthing , or maybe some new edited version , but again , there is way to much stereo swapping (from left -right fastly) ... I know u wanna create a nice stereo sound ... but uhm , well , you know how I think of this matter ....
For me it just sounds like another reason track which could be betetr when the kick wasn't that thin , and it also askes for better attention with the pecussian (hihats,claps,ticks loops maybe) .... They are too much on the background I guess...
Still the best sh*t u can get , but can be better when it has a more pro sounding , and better production , .... sorry :)
