Here's my first pony remix of Pony Rock Anthem by ShadyVox: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zCihrA91f-Q

Please tell me what you think :D

Okay, I'm going to throw this out there before anyone yells at me: I don't make dubstep or much else in terms of electronic music, so basically all of my experience is listening to lots of music (usually rock and orchestral) and playing in a wind ensemble, so whatever I say has the distinct possibility of being completely unintelligible or completely useless.

So, this is coming from someone with a fair amount of experience with classical music and some experience with rock and electronic music, for what it's worth.


What's good:

-The buildups to the drops are excellent. Seriously, the changing tempo and adding of instruments as well as the reverb on the vocals that cut out right before the drop just click incredibly well.
-Everything is really well balanced, as well as I can tell, there didn't seem to be any "instruments" that stick out or get overshadowed.
-The bass "instrument"'s sound is great, nice and rich, same goes for the main synths.

What could be changed (aka minor nitpicks):

-It's a tad heavy on the left ear, consistently, so you may want to check your headphones or speakers in case your left speaker is weak, or try to pan the original track closer to the center. I don't know if boosting the right channel will do anything, but you could try that, too.
-In 0:30-0:40 (and elsewhere) I noticed that the synth lead seems to get a little off from the vocals, but that could just be me.
-During the drops: See if you can reduce the noise effects over the bass, they're a tad distracting from the tone. You also may want to add more tempos of "wubs," I hear one slower and one faster, and it might sound -better if there was a third or maybe fourth "wub speed." (I know there's an actual term for this, but I'm too lazy to find it.)
-You could try adding some effects to the vocals, mostly during the drops, to make it stand out.
-It's a tad heavy on the high end during 4:25-4:40, which is probably because the synth drops out and the snare takes prominence. I don't really have any suggestions for this.


Overall, I think this track is really good and doesn't really need much in terms of changes.
I'm gone, and not coming back.

Oh wow, Now THAT"S a review! :D I'm beginning to like this place already. Thank you so much for this. I may change all this later, except for the vocal syncing (I don't know why but for whatever reason, the vocals absolutely REFUSE to sync up right so its off in a lot places, ESPECIALLY the end. It pretty much falls apart right before I end it.). Oh and the wub speed is called the LFO Rate :D. Thanks again by the way!
