Anyway, I  started work (yesterday) on a dancefloor friendly version of the track, so I'm still quite early in the process.  You will hear that I've had to slow the track down 8bpm or so to make it fit the current standards for trance music - there are certain conventions that I need to bend the original to. Once the track is complete I'll make it available for free download.  Here's what I have so far: http://soundcloud.com/avataro....-rework If you're interested, I work entirely in software (apart from my midi keyboard obviously! ).  I sequence and mix in Ableton Live, master in Soundforge 9, use Reason for the drums, and Sylenth and Omnisphere provide the synths. Regards! Mike (Avatar One) -------------- http://www.avatarone.com Back to top

Would like to request louder and louder choir in the background in the first half, and the addition of drum and bass in the second half. -------------- Barn's burnt down - now I can see the moon.
