Hi Robertkc,

Thanks for the nice comment. Here I wanted to limit myself only to Biab's realtracks whereas in my habits I use musical ornaments to enrich my compositions. thank you again.

Hi Janice & Bud,

Thank you for your nice comment. In this composition, I wanted to highlight Biab's realtracks. To be honest, I had to correct some of them with melodyn. I also removed the name metal from the title because it doesn't actually have one. Going back to your ozone comment, the 10 is a real improvement over the 9.

I take advantage of my response to your comment to ask you a question about your mix. How many db do you put in the mix before applying ozone. Me personally I put the mix at - 8db but isn't it too low to have a reasonable volume before using Ozone which brings it down to -12db. Thank you for your answer if you have the time or the desire.

I liked it.
Easy to listen to. Drums volume could maybe come up a bit.

Derochette,
Pretty clever composition. Good arrangement dynamics and mix. Easy listen.
The only place that I think might need more work is 2:57. Drums are cut away abruptly. I think it would sound better if they die with a "hit". Thank you for sharing.

Misha.
